(Trailer Only)
Dr. Celeste Owens

— REST IN POWER —
Beloved wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend departed this earthly realm, and was called to her heavenly home on Saturday, November 19, 2022, while battling cancer.
"We had to change that perspective about herself, how she wasn't damaged goods, why she was fearfully and wonderfully made." - Women of Faith Film
Dr. Celeste Owens was a sought-after international speaker and facilitator whose mission is to equip women to live free and whole through the surrender of spirit, mind, and body. A transformative healer, she used the word of God and psychological principles to bring women to total wellness.
Dr. Celeste and her husband, Andel co-founded Dr. Celeste Owens Ministries, an international healing ministry and travel the globe sharing the philosophy of surrender. They believe that when God is the center there is nothing one can’t do!
Celeste knew all about surrender and its ability to advance. In 2009, in what she calls an Abraham moment God called her to leave all that she knew -- private practice, public speaking, and ministry leadership. And in an act of radical obedience, she did. From that place of humility and surrender God birthed her first book The 40-Day Surrender Fast, a devotional designed to help the reader develop a more intimate relationship with God.
An accomplished scholar, Celeste held a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the State University of New York at Buffalo, a Master of Science in Applied Counseling Psychology from the University of Baltimore and a Doctorate of Philosophy in Counseling Psychology from the University of Pittsburgh. She also completed a post-doctoral fellowship in trauma.
Dr. Celeste has graced many pulpits and presented at numerous conferences and retreats. She has been featured in Essence, Heart and Soul Magazines the Washington Post and a television guest for various networks. She’s also a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.
God has provided an opportunity for Celeste to meet both the spiritual and physical needs of the poor through their nonprofit organization, Surrender 365, Inc. the mission’s arm of Dr. Celeste Owens Ministries. Surrender 365, Inc. focuses on meeting the needs of the marginalized around the world.
Celeste lived a surrendered life. She encouraged others wherever she went to do God’s Will—His Way—All the Time!
