About Kathleen

Kathleen Derbyshire is an Author and Visionary Living Advisor to a Legion of Lady Leaders who are called to Make a Ministry but find the have gone straight into a long drawn out “Season of Preparation”. She is also a woman called to lead by God and has focused her Lifistry (life in ministry) making sure her everyday Lifistry is worthy of the Gospel of Christ.

As a result she has created and taught hundreds of biblical life and ministry teachings that focus on discovering, developing and deliberately engaging our special insight into our Visionary Ministry. She calls them our “Lifistry Skills”. These are the skills God has given women called to grow into a home made ministry.

Kathleen, masterfully combines the skills women already have, with the skills they desire to develop, creating an amazing journey with Jesus into their ministry. 

She calls her ministry her “City on the Hill” (Matthew 5:14) because climbing the Ministry Mountain is a life long process only those called to do it can stomach. With her materials they will powerfully hold their ground in their “City on the Hill” as well.

Her passion is to ensure that every Woman of Vision has the discipline needed to become a highly effective Christian, in her weekly show, to accomplish what God has created her to do. Kathleen knows how difficult it can be to come to the end of your “Productive Waiting” road without a brand new, well planned out, and personally satisfying, direction to continue travelling in this Season of Preparation.

The Live Your Vision Journey is her way of empowering Lady Leaders on their journey through their God ordained “Season of Preparation”. This set of 6 courses will kick start your re-connection with Jesus and powerfully re-connect you with the skills you are currently using, and the ones you desire to learn to make climbing your own Ministry Mountain a blast and a half.

Kathleen also knows how much women need to connect with each other to empower and encourage her new found ministry direction. She brings these courageous and visionary women together in her Facebook group Midlife Ministry Makers to make being discipline an Upward Call Habit. 

Kathleen has been cheering for Lady Leaders called to make a ministry for a long time, even before she became a Christian. Her ability to empower women shines every time she attends a function, teaches a class or leads a group.

She has channelled her God given gifts to gain years of experience empowering women to use their God given gifts along with their leadership skills to make the ministry the Lord has called them to.

When the Lord called her into this ministry He sent her straight into the desert for 20 years to prepare her for this very message. He called her to tell you to “Keep Living Your Vision.”  In her long Season of Preparation she gained the creditability she needed to lead herself into her ministry plus she built up her capacity to be a highly effective Christian while ministering to Lady Leaders.

Since 2005 Kathleen has been teaching and leading Women of Vision in success through her courses and workshops that create Upward Call Habits that lead them into fulfilling a ministry that matters.

It matters not only to them but to the Lord and the people of God. She has worked with authors all the way to pastor’s wives because God is not lax in preparing His people to do what He has called them to do.

Kathleen is not afraid to take on the Devil when it comes to Lady Leaders in a Season of Preparation. He has put a hedge up against us and she sees it growing ever so high in the church but the Vine is reaching into the church to pull us out of this bondage of denial.

Kathleen is a “Visionary Living Advisor” but she calls herself an “Anti-Mediocrity Minister”. Her overall goal is for Women of Vision to fulfill God’s call on their life to make a ministry as a highly effective Christian during their Season of Preparation.

In this time she will guide you into the presence of the Lord, in the Live Your Vision Journey to know Jesus, know self and know the children of God better so you can fulfill your Vision from God in a way that is pleasing to Him and to you.

Join Kathleen in The Still Waters Garden to begin the process of sitting with the Lord as He guides you into this journey of leading yourself successfully through your Season of Preparation for Ministry.

As Kathleen matured into her leadership she began to realize how much Lady Leaders need each other. Not only to sharpen each other but to empower each other. There is a Legion (countless, numberless) of Lady Leaders who need encouragement while they wait on the Lord to position them for ministry.

If you know you are a Lady Leader called to Make a Ministry, and are in this long and discouraging “Season of Preparation,” you can begin waiting well now with Kathleen, and a “Legion of Lady Leaders” travelling together up the Ministry Mountain, on the Live Your Vision Journey.

The ” Live Your Vision Journey” begins September 2024 and will continue in The Village where you will be put on the “Platform for Preparation” to gain credibility as a leader while growing in your capacity to build a foundation as a highly effective Christian.
