Meet Daphne

blogger + author + teacher

Daphne Delay is an author, teacher, and lover of Jesus. She is known for the simple way she teaches– making hard things easy to understand. Her passion for the things of God might be summarized best through this verse: “Christ is my message! I preach to awaken hearts and bring every person into the full understanding of truth. It has become my inspiration and passion in ministry to labor with a tireless intensity, with His power flowing through me, to present to every believer the revelation of being His perfect one in Christ” (Colossians 1:28-29 TPT).

Born-again at the age of 21, Daphne understands the condemnation of regrets and failures that can follow a person into their walk with God. However, through His Word and a special encounter in front of her own mirror, she found the beautiful truth of the gospel. “For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin that we might become the righteousness of God in Christ” (2 Corinthians 5:21).

Daphne’s books on righteousness, deception, and authority have helped countless people find freedom from the lies of the enemy. Her books and workbooks are used by prisons across the United States to help inmates find the same freedoms she found. Although having never been incarcerated, Daphne has a heart for this population. She regularly says, “No one should live in a double prison.”

For this reason, Daphne wrote a 365 day devotional called Facing the Wall, specifically with inmates in mind. This book was inspired by over 20 years of sermons that were inspired by her transparent journey of growing up in Christ.

Daphne and her husband Tod have been the senior pastors of Transformation Church in Seminole, Texas, since 1999. With a heart for their community and the world, they have had the privilege of equipping others at home and in many nations.
