Today we’d like to introduce you to Monique De Leon.
Monique, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I was born and raised in Southern California. I’m the youngest of 5 children. My father was an alcoholic, and my parents divorced when I was 7 years old. So, I was raised by a single mom. My mom had a very strong faith in God and passed that on to me. I saw a lot of miraculous things growing up, but I needed to discover who God was for myself. Not just because my mom believed. And I did. Fast forward to now. I am a worship leader, author, speaker and mentor. I travel throughout the U.S., as well as internationally ministering through music, speaking and teaching. I’ve been to 18 countries so far. I teach on singleness, faith, purity and boldness for Christ. My story is definitely a unique one, in that I am living out what I speak on. I’m 43 years old, never been and have no children, although I greatly desire both! I am still believing God for this prayer to be answered. My faith is high, and I want to encourage other singles who are feeling discouraged. I’m right there with you!
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Some of the struggles I’ve encountered is just getting the word out there. Podcast interviews have helped. But trying to get what I do in front of more eyes has been my biggest struggle. I know that I am a very particular niche.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
The first book I wrote is called Pursuing Purity Under Pressure. I recognize the over sexualized culture that were living in right now, so I wanted to swing the pendulum the other way. I also created online courses that go along with the book.
I started Thriving in Singlehood because I saw the need to encourage Christian singles. In majority of churches there’s plenty of events, gatherings and ministry for every demographic except single people. Especially for ages 25-45. So, I wanted to help fill in the gap with a Mentorship Program and Conferences for Christian singles. Being a Christian single myself who is still believing God for marriage and children, I can fully relate!
I have a 4 song EP called Loyal, and sing for different churches, event, retreats, conferences and special events.
Any advice for finding a mentor or networking in general?
I am a mentor. So I would like to connect with others and encourage them, challenge them and inspire them.
