You believe. You pray. But Western Christianity taught us to look for God in our feelings.

Why spiritual emptiness is not a failure of faith, but a misunderstanding of how God makes Himself known.

You finish what's required, so why can't you finish what matters most?

Why doing whatever you want keeps you stuck, and why limits help you move.

About Me

I’m Debra Anne Cook, author of Remarkably Made and creator of the WICKS™ Framework, a biblical approach to identity that goes beyond personality tests and self-labeling.

I joined the military at forty. During Basic Combat Training, I found myself back in familiar patterns I thought I had outgrown. I stood out. I did not blend in. For years, I assumed that was the problem. But the repetition raised a question I could not ignore. If this keeps happening, what am I missing?

My work as a broadcast journalist took me from military training environments to Guantanamo Bay, where I wrote weekly articles for soldiers navigating identity and purpose. With every person I interviewed and every story I wrote, one truth kept surfacing. Identity is not discovered by looking inward long enough. It is revealed by looking to the One who made us.

I write to help people remember who they are. Not as a type, a number, or a diagnosis, but as someone intentionally designed by God. My work focuses on identity and leadership, grounded in Scripture and supported by biology, science, and lived experience.

You are not random. You are not mass-produced. You are more remarkably made than you have been taught to believe.

I live in Jacksonville, Florida, where I write, speak, and develop resources to help people discover their God-given design. I am also learning daily from my two daughters, Alexandria and Sophia.
