Hello and welcome to the Faith Walkers community.
I am so excited to have you here.
I am Dr. Marcella Shipp.
Five years ago, I experienced a major life crisis.
I was jobless, recovering from major surgery, and I faced a sudden and unexpected
loss of both of my parents within 60 days of each other.
Everything I believed and knew about God seemed to vanish.
As a pastor's kid and growing up in church,
I found myself lost and confused.
I wanted to escape the pain until one day God came for me in my darkest hour
and invited me to embrace him as my father.
As I processed my grief with God and
followed his leading, a major shift occurred in 2023.
At the beginning of the year,
God asked me to trust him completely, and I thought I really trusted him.
But little did I know this would involve
a major move and a life change.
These changes resulted in a transformation
of my perspective, not just what I saw, but how I saw everything.
Later that year, I experienced a divine
encounter with God and a business conference that really transformed my life.
This encounter brought supernatural healing
to my heart, leaving me uplifted and encouraged.
In the days that followed, I felt God's
love daily as he showered me with kindness and affection.
I had never experienced that before.
By year's end, God revealed my kingdom
assignment and my purpose, which is to help his people implement
his word and walk in faith in their everyday lives.
This purpose he gave me is exemplified in my upcoming book,
Play the Faith Game to be released in spring
2025 and in launching this Faith Walkers community.
This community is housed in this private space where you can connect with like
minded members who desire to walk and live at a higher level, growing in their
faith as well as moving out in faith away from the noise, negativity and
distractions found on other platforms.
We can focus on strengthening our faith and encouraging each other's journeys.
I provide access to encouragement, free
training and workshops all designed to help you on your faith journey right here
in this community while offering teachings on faith and the word of God.
This isn't just a place to study.
It's a place to help you put your faith to work.
For the specific things God has spoken to you without judgment.
You know, when you're standing in faith
for something, people who disagree might try to limit what's possible for you.
Here you'll find communal support to
strengthen and encourage you on your faith journey.
You can access this community through your laptop, computer or smartphone device using
the tribe social mobile app.
There are three quick steps to get you started engaging in the community.
Use the go live button to stream live within the community.
Number two, you can create a post and upload it to be an encouragement in the
community, and number three, you can upload videos.
Here are some community rules.
No solicitation at all and only post content relevant to our faith focused
community. Violation of these rules will result in the removal from the community.
So here's your first assignment.
Go ahead, introduce yourself, share with us where you're joining from and what you
hope to receive from this community.
Then I want you to watch another member's video and leave a like and comment.
This helps us build connection and engagement with one another.
So come on, let's get started and walk this faith journey out together.
