Lady C welcomes a truly remarkable guest—Pastor Denise B. Carpenter. Known as an illustrious, distinguished, and gracious leader in the Body of Christ. Pastor Carpenter joins us for an intimate conversation about her testimony, her life, and her ministry.
With more than 35 years of leadership and ministry experience, Pastor Carpenter has faithfully served in churches, non-profit organizations, and ministries across the United States and abroad. Together with her husband, Reverend Timothy W. Carpenter, she co-founded God’s Way Ministries International in Columbus, Ohio.
Esther by Design was founded as a transformative platform by Lady Denise to inspire women of all ages to embrace their true identity and walk confidently toward their God-given destiny. Through this ministry, Pastor Denise leads annual retreats, conferences, and symposiums, as well as monthly classes, creating spaces for growth, empowerment, and spiritual renewal.
Her dedication has not gone unnoticed. In 2024, Pastor Carpenter was honored with The President’s Lifetime Achievement Award from President Joseph R. Biden, recognizing her lifelong commitment to building a stronger nation through volunteer service.
Beyond her ministry, Pastor Carpenter has shared 51 years of marriage with Reverend Timothy Carpenter. They are the proud parents of two adult daughters and the joyful grandparents of six beautiful grandchildren.
