As a speaker, Ms. DeMaris has ministered to many groups speaking on subjects ranging from being a “Friend of God: Priority #1” to “Diversity in Women’s Friendships,” “The Chosen Vessel and the Vessel of Mercy,” and “Assuming the Praise Posture.”

Along with a writing partner, Ms. DeMaris has recently completed writing a Bible Study called A Taste of Joy: A Sampling of Spiritual Disciplines. She is currently working on her second book based on her allegory and radio program Stones, Stumps and Squatters.”

Ms. DeMaris considers it an honor and a privilege to minister God’s word. Her passion, in line with the vision God has given her, is seeing people healed, set free from the wounds of the past and unleashed to be the unique individuals God created them to be. Ms. DeMaris knows that God wants all of His children to experience the victorious, joy-filled, contented life He promises to those who love, seek and serve Him.

The "Radiant Health" Name

Ms. DeMaris has seen dramatic changes as God creates a new reality and a new life for her clients, especially those who were victims of childhood sexual abuse. During study, God illuminated the Bible passage found below. The passage expresses the process of recognizing God, praising Him, seeking Him together (where two or more are gathered) followed by personal supplication and finally the transformation from dis-ease to wholeness. One of the meanings of the word radiant is ‘that which is marked by or expressive of joy, pleasure, love, confidence or happiness.’ All of which could define the believer whose life has been healed by our Heavenly Father.

Glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt His name together.
I sought the Lord, and He answered me,
He delivered me from all my fears.
Those who look to Him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.

Psalm 34:3-5
