Dr. Monicia Porter is a veteran, educator, counselor, leadership trainer, and woman of faith with a passion for helping others recognize their purpose, strengthen their confidence, and walk boldly in what God has called them to do. A retired U.S. Army Major with more than 28 years of military service, including 16 years as an enlisted soldier, Dr. Porter brings a unique perspective on leadership, resilience, courage, and navigating seasons that require both faith and fortitude. Her professional background in counseling, education, business, and leadership development has shaped her practical approach to teaching—one that connects biblical truth to the realities women face in everyday life. Dr. Porter has a particular love for exploring Scripture through its historical and cultural context and uncovering lessons that remain relevant for women today. Rather than simply telling women to “be strong” or “have faith,” she challenges them to understand who they are, recognize what God has placed within them, and develop the wisdom and courage to act on it. In *The Deborah Doctrine*, Dr. Porter draws from the life and leadership of Deborah to encourage modern women of faith to embrace their voice, their influence, and their God-given assignments with wisdom, confidence, and conviction. When she is not writing, teaching, or developing leaders, Dr. Porter enjoys traveling, exploring different cultures, spending quality time with her family, and discovering the ways faith, leadership, and everyday life intersect.
