Narda Goodson has always had a passion and energy for life that is contagious. A life-long New Yorker, Narda began her career as an entrepreneur in education. She is the wife of the Honorable Mayor William "Bill" Goodson of Whitewright, Texas and mother of three beautiful daughters.
In 1984, at the age of fifteen, Narda received Jesus Christ into her heart. From 1988 to 1997, she served as a praise and worship leader and youth director at Bronx Miracle Gospel Tabernacle, New York. In 1999, she accepted the call to ministry and was ordained a psalmist. In 2000, she joined Family Christian Center in New Rochelle, New York and served in the music department.
Narda ministered for over nine years as principal, teacher, and sole-proprietor of Noah's Ark Christian Academy, which served students from kindergarten to high school level, and governed the operaton of a preschool in Bronx, New York. In 2003, she received an honor for serving as a mentor for the New York National Guard Teen Challenge Program, and in 2005, she instituted a Bible academy for teens, young adults, and women. In 2006, Narda was ordained a pastor and is currently a member of God's House of Faith & Worship Center in Denison, Texas.
Now as a supportive wife and mother, Narda is an inspiration and mentor to women everywhere. She is committed to helping women, children and families discover their uniqueness, creativeness, and purpose in order to reach their highest potential through Christ and His Word.
Suffering sexual, emotional, and physical abuse as a child and the pain of an emotionally wounding first marriage, Narda discovered the freedom to live victoriously by applying God's Word to her life and in turn, desires to help others do the same. From the battles of the mind to the tussles of everyday life, she speaks openly and practically about her encounters so others can successfully apply what she has learned to their lives.
In November 2007, Narda released her new book Will the Real Me Please Stand Up, which is followed by the sequel When My Life Struck Twelve. She is also releasing her first new children's series The Anointed Tales of Nardarella.
She travels throughout the United States for speaking and singing engagements and hosts a musical dramatized synopsis of her book for the purpose of bringing healing and restoration to wounded lives.
God has provided Narda with many opportunities to share her testimony and the life-changing message of the Gospel. She is an incredible testimony and witness of the effectual and powerful redeeming work of Jesus Christ and teaches that in spite of a person's upbringing, personal history, social class, or past mistakes, God has a place for them and can help them on their journey to where Dreams Do Come True.
If you ever feel like your back is against the wall, welcome to the real world.
Your Christian journey will not be a bed of roses. Maybe your life has already struck twelve, and you've awakened out of the matrix only to find that life is definitely not a fairytale.
Thirsty for a Word? Is your brain on fire , brain dead , or have you just simply lost your mind? Do you find yourself moody, grumpy, and hard to love people? Maybe you walking around like a chicken without a head?
Have fiery trials overtaken you? Trying to quit smoking; finding yourself failing too often? Does the enemy have you under arrest and bound to certain sins? Are you burnt out, whipped, struggling, and stressed to the point your losing your hair? Maybe you are suffering from a sickness or a disease.
Has the raging storms engulfed you and left you paddling on life's stormy seas?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, I want you to come with me and I will show you how to walk on water, how to pray in the midst of your enemies, and how to survive the tornadoes of your life one Gospel "PiLL" a day.
