Rhoda Baty
About the Membership Director
Rhoda is our welcoming committee! She calls each new member to welcome them to our growing organization and help them get started. I asked Rhoda to take this position after God nudged me in her direction. Rhoda is a “connector” and a “relator” according to the Strengths Finder Assessment, so you can see how this fits her perfectly!
Rhoda Baty is a Life Coach with “Hopeful Heart Coaching”, and works as a secretary at an alternative high school. Rhoda lives in Snohomish, WA, about 30 miles north of Seattle, with her pastor husband of 37 ‘never a dull moment’ years, two daughter’s/son’s in law and her 7 grandchildren. Rhoda volunteers in her community with the juvenile justice system and at her daughter’s ‘agritainment’ farm called Bob’s Corn. Rhoda loves to play with her grandchildren, have family dinners, hike with friends and listen to those who need an ear.
She has been working with women for over 30 years as a pastors wife changing her focus to coaching in 2006. Rhoda’s passion is to help women know God better so they can love Him more. To grasp the concept that there is nothing you can do to make God love you more and there is nothing you can do to make Him love you less, He loves you PERIOD! Rhoda started email devotional groups called ‘Annabelle’s Legacy’ after the loss of one of her grandchildren. They have been such a blessings to all those involved and especially to her as she sees what God can do when we give Him our hurts. www.lifecoachingwithrhoda.com

Diane Cunningham and I sat down over two cups of hot steaming coffee Friday, December 30, at 8:30 a.m. We prayed together and I told her I felt like a failure, although I’d been assisting women through ministry for over 12 years. “What about me?” Within 55 minutes, Diane had explored my ministry experiences and my passions. I left with a new business plan! She has definitely inspired me and given me the courage to move forward in ministry. As a matter of fact, she told me I was ready to take my ministry and passions to a much larger territory. She knows what she’s doing.
