Mary Rodman

Mary resides in Ohio with her husband, Jim. Together they enjoy farm life, hard work, vacations, family, and friends. She is a farm girl who discovered her niche as a Christian author and speaker. Mary loves sharing about the Lord through both her written and spoken words. Mary’s life is an open book as she shares her joys, struggles, and embarrassing moments.

As a Christian author and speaker, Mary’s objective is to point you toward Jesus. Her words are simple, and her examples are relatable, but when Jesus touches your heart it is amazing. When you follow Him wholeheartedly and align your dreams with God's will, the outcome is life-altering.

The first goal of Mary’s ministry is to offer you encouragement and inspiration. She is a "seed planter." The person who sees a glimmer of hope in the small day-to-day routines of life. Therefore, the key verse for her ministry is: “When we get together, I want to encourage you in your faith, but I also want to be encouraged by yours.” (Romans 1:12).

Once the seed of hope is planted in your heart, Mary motivates you to stay in God's Word to seek wisdom, and learn more about Jesus' amazing grace. “If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking." (James 1:5).

Mary’s prayer is that you have a personal relationship with our Redeemer, because when you Bloom with Jesus, you become a child of God who is cultivated for your beauty. This beauty does not happen overnight, it is a gradual change within your soul, because of your relationship with Jesus.

She is the author of the Bloom Daily Devotional Series. "Bloom Where You’re Planted: Daily devotions to Enlighten and Brighten Your Relationship with Christ," "Live Life in Full Bloom: Devotions to Transform Your Ordinary Path From the Mundane and the Mayhem into Extraordinary Living with Christ" and "Bloom In God's Promises: Daily Devotional to Walk a Consistent and Confident Pathway with Jesus."

Mary's is also the author of The Irrepressible Disciple Series. It is a combination of Bible studies and a devotional with journal pages. The Bible studies include: "Mary Magdalene a Woman of Resilience: 5 Lessons to Develop an Irrepressible Passion for Jesus" and "Cast the First Stone: Be Transformed by Grace: 5 Lessons to Discover the Irrepressible Grace of Jesus." The devotional is "BIG Texas Journey: Big Blessings Revealed by an Irrepressible God Through Adversity." Book 4, "An Almighty Loving God: Lessons Based on Psalms, Celebrate Life with Irrepressible Joy" is designed to help you resonate on just a few verses in Psalms each day as you spend time with the Lord.

Mary's latest venture is the Blooming Crazy Christian Devotional Series. The books consist of, "Blooming Crazy Life: Daily Devotions to Catch a Glimpse of God in Your Crazy Life" and "Blooming Crazy Love: Daily Devotions Revealing God's Love to Strengthen Your Faith."

Mary's books are “like sitting down with a mentor and friend as you read.” They range from humor to tears as she shares about her experiences in everyday life, intertwined with the gospel.

As a speaker, Mary shares on numerous topics. While in a season of grief, Mary found it necessary to “Make Something Out of Nothing” to see blessings on her most difficult days.

As a Christian do you ever wonder, “Who Am I?” Mary will facilitate your weekend retreat at your facility and help ladies discover the woman God created them to be. Mary will teach you how to Bloom in all circumstances in life. Mary's motto is no matter what life brings your way, remember to "Bloom with Jesus" which is her blog.
