FROM BROKENNESS TO MOTHERHOOD, MY STORY OF REDEMPTION
Debbie Simler-Goff, the founder of Pursuing Wholeness, grew up in a home lacking a strong spiritual foundation, a sense of stability, and a feeling of acceptance. Debbie knows what it is to feel devalued, disregarded, and rejected, and from this, she felt compelled to start Pursuing Wholeness. Despite the hardships, Debbie thanks God for these experiences because they helped shape her into the who she is today.
At 20 years old, Debbie married Paul Goff, a widower with four small children. When they married in 1985, the children—Paul, Jeremy, Stephanie, and Joshua—were 9, 7, 5, and 18 months old. Instantly, she became a mother and embraced the blessings and challenges that came with it.
