Episode 97: Embracing Our Unique Gifts
Summary of this Episode:
Have you ever thought about whether you are a Mary or a Martha from the Bible? Does your calling reflect parts of your personality? Do you like things clean and organized, like Martha? Or are you a Mary, focused on giving people time and attention? On this episode of God Hears Her, hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy talk with guest Denisse Copeland about what it means to be set apart as a daughter of the King, no matter if you’re a Mary or a Martha.
“I am set apart. I am a daughter. I don’t have to prove anything.”
– Denisse Copeland

Denisse Copeland
Denisse Copeland was born and raised by a single mother in Bayamon, Puerto Rico. Her upbringing offered little stability, and Denisse soon found herself on a seemingly endless quest to find love and acceptance. It wasn’t until Jesus shook her world that she truly found what she was looking for. Now a mother of three living in Oklahoma City, Denisse works alongside her husband, Rashawn Copeland, as an online minister and evangelist. Their ministry reaches more than 6 million people every year.
