Hi I’m Lorraine
I started speaking at Single’s Ministry retreats because my friend told the director of a retreat we attended in 2013 that he should ask me to do the next one. I looked at her as if she had two heads. I had never done anything like that before. What in the world was she thinking?
Then he asked me to do it. So I started looking at him as if HE had two heads. He didn’t know anything about me or my ability to do this. It was not a one off message that I could crank out and be done. I had to speak six times over the course of a weekend. What was he thinking?
So I said “yes”. What was I thinking? Great question. I had been raised to never say no to God or the church asking for God. All I could say was “yes”. And since then, I have had the privilege of pouring into the lives of women, particularly single women around the world.
Writing
A friend came to me in 2019 at the end of her rope with her marriage. She was ready to throw in the towel and move on!
My first book, Pray It Forward: For Women Who Choose to Fight On Their Knees, will be available for purchase in December 2023.
I thought I would write a book one day, but it was supposed to be about my singleness journey and living in purpose. Instead God took me through a circuitous path to bring this book to fruition.
When she came to me, I suggested that we take 30 days and pray for her husband. Not her marriage or family, but just him. I told her that I would write a short devotional every day on the issues that she was concerned about. And so I did. And 4 years later those short devotionals are coming together as a book that was released December 26, 2023 on Amazon.
God always has a plan. And since this was His plan for this year, I know many women are being transformed and thousands more will be.
In addition to the book, we have a community of women coming together LIVE every day to hear from God and get their battle charge as they fight on their knees.

Podcasting
My YouTube Podcast, Live, Love, & Marry Wizerr, started on January 17, 2023 about 3 years after God impressed me to start it. That’s a longish story, but suffice it to say the one episode created in 2020 will probably never see the light of day.
This program targets single women and our mission is in our name.
Proverbs 4:7 says “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding”. We pray, plan, and prepare every episode for our LIVE and future viewers to access wisdom for their life and relationships through all the hosts and guests that join us weekly.
We address topics ranging from identifying red flags to addressing generational trauma to understanding online dating in the 21st century.
We discuss singleness, marriage, parenting, conflict, loss of a spouse, health, purpose and so much more.
Our new season starts January 16, 2023, and we have some great new guests, topics, and conversations to help you Live, Love, and Marry Wizerr.
