title: Hidden in Plain Sight: Discovering the Seven Marys of the New Testament
author: Dr. Dawn Lindholm
description: Dawn has a God-given passion to reach others for Christ and share His boundless love with them. She is an international speaker, Bible teacher, mentor, pastoral counselor, and has written for numerous publications. Dawn holds a B.A. in Christian Ministries, an M.A. in Theological Studies from Bethel Seminary, and a Doctor of Ministry degree from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. She is ordained through the Evangelical Covenant Church, and has sat on various boards. She has served in a wide variety of ministries, where she has used her passion for the expository teaching of Gods Word and mentoring others to be all God has called them to be. In her whimsical and winsome style, yet with deep research and personal understanding, Dawn helps people find their profound worth and unique purpose. When she has a free moment, she loves to garden, read a wide variety of books, walk in the Redwoods, and drink coffee. Her dream job would include a credit card to take people out to coffee or lunch and learn about their life. Raised without spiritual or religious input, Dawn felt Gods presence in her lifeeven as a small child. She encountered God through Jesus as a teenager and followed Him. She and her ever-encouraging husband, Greg, reside in Mount Hermon, CA. They have three sons and have been blessed with two precious daughters-by-love and one wildly entertaining granddaughter.
