About Adessa Holden

Adessa Holden is an ordained minister with the Assemblies of God, an author, a speaker, and a Bible teacher. She is a passionate individual who dedicates her life to these roles, inspiring others with her commitment.


Adessa is also the Vice President/Treasurer of 4One Ministries. She and her brother travel to speak, hold Mantour conferences, and produce resources. Their work provides practical Biblical teaching that strengthens, encourages, and challenges individuals to grow in their walk with Christ and apply Biblical principles to their everyday lives.


She graduated from the University of Valley Forge in 1996 with a degree in pastoral ministry and has continued studying God's Word ever since.


She's excited to share her newest project, "Mindblowing Truths," a series of topical Bible studies designed to help individuals and small groups learn the mind-blowing truths in God's Word and practically apply them in their lives.

 

She's written "Finding Healing," "The Adventure: Discovering Your God-Given Passion, Place, and Purpose," and "Ageless Truths: Lessons I Learned in My Forties that I Wish I Knew In My Twenties." She also co-wrote "Whatever It Takes" with her brother, Jamie.


If you ask her about herself, she will tell you, "I'm a minister, an author, a sister, and a daughter. The most important thing in my life is my relationship with Jesus, which began when I was just five years old, and I hid behind the sofa in our house and asked Jesus into my heart. Two years later, I received my call into full-time ministry. Following Jesus and studying God's Word have been my passion throughout my life. It's my most incredible honor and privilege to share the testimony of the healing the Holy Spirit has done in my heart, the difficulties He's helped me overcome, and the truth I've learned from God's Word. My life’s goal is to encourage others to develop a personal relationship with Jesus and experience God's freedom and healing for themselves. Using every means possible, I want to reach people for Jesus.”

My Favorite Things

If you really want to get to know someone you need to know their favorite things.  Here are a few of mine:

 

Favorite color:  Teal.

 

Favorite hobby:  Riding in the car listening to music (good thing because we travel a lot)

 

Favorite place:  First my house.  I'm a homebody at heart who truly believes there's no place like home.  Otherwise, I LOVE the beach—-watching the ocean and waves—perfect

 

 

Favorite article of clothing:  Sandals.  If it's above 55 degrees, odds are I'll be wearing them.

 

Favorite food:  Unquestionably Chocolate

 

Favorite person: While there are others who I absolutely love, I am absolutely at my best and most comfortable with my brother Jamie

 

Favorite book: the Bible, duh

 

Favorite music:  Country songs about summertime.   Growing up I loved D.C. Talk and in college I loved Billy Joel.  I'm still a pretty big fan of both

 

Favorite season:  Summer—you get to wear sandals or better yet barefoot

 

Favorite superhero:  Ironman

 

Favorite flower:  Tulips.  I'm fascinated by the inside where there's a whole beautiful world going on that no one can see from the outside.

​

Favorite cookie: Chocolate Chip

 

Favorite actual food:  Fresh Green Beans.  I also love Chicken Parmesan.

​

Favorite thing to do on a day off:  Sit on the back porch and listen to music.  It's totally relaxing.

​

Favorite Verse: To all who mourn in Israel, he will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning,  festive praise instead of despair. In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks  that the Lord has planted for his own glory.  Isaiah 61:3
