About Cheryl Cope | Cheryl Cope

About Me:

I am a blood-bought beloved daughter of the Most High God and of the King and Creator of all the universes.

I have roots in the Baptist, Methodist, Nondenominational, and Charismatic circles of modern American Christendom. I regularly attend a local Christian church, various in-person or “zoom” prayer groups, various in-person or “zoom” Bible studies, Christian conferences and/or silent retreats (not all at the same time!).

Prayer, inner healing, spiritual warfare , spiritual formation (spiritual growth), apologetics, and basic Bible doctrine are my favorite topics of study and I have dozens of books on these subjects in my personal library.

I live in the Nashville, Tennessee area with my husband. I have four grown children and seven grandchildren. I help my husband with his business and babysit the grandkids. I also like to connect with God, have tea or lunch with friends, read, walk at the park, play the piano and do art journaling, painting or other artistic crafts. I am also a former Christian life coach, former homeschool teacher, and former horse owner.

One of the best things I ever prayed for: intercessors to pray for me

One of the most surprising things God told me: After God called me out of homeschooling (after 16 years of it being practically my whole life and my “identity”—as in, what do you do?, what is your job?), I asked God, “O.K. what am I?”, (as in, what is my new title?). He replied to my spirit, “You’re mine.” For a couple of seconds I was taken aback because I was expecting a title, but after reflecting upon it, I thought it was the most wonderful fantastic thing in the world. I am His!!!
