Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves. (Philippians 2:3 NASB)
DESTINY STEPS
DALLAS — Lisa Dove Washington appreciates the globally acclaimed ministry of Bishop T. D. Jakes and his wife, Serita Jakes.
So much, in fact, that this accomplished Washington DC area businesswoman has a direct message for arguably the most prominent couple in the Body of Christ.
“Bishop and Serita Jakes, your ministry has given me some real insight and truth about me, my marriage, and my purpose in life,” Washington said during Making Headline News’ Woman Thou Art Loosed Virtual Experience coverage of Bishop T. D. Jakes’ annual event that took place last weekend.
As Washington explained, her featured book, The Power Of Shut Up, is one that was birthed, in large part because of Bishop Jakes’ immeasurable guidance and wisdom the world renowned Pastor, businessman, and international bestselling author customarily shares with people from various walks of life.

“The Power Of Shut Up stemmed from watching some powerful sermons about what marriage is about, and it also helped me to get out of my own way,” Washington said Bishop Jakes unparalleled contributions to the Body of Christ. “(His) real talk conversation have allowed me to get myself together and stop trying to fix everyone else. My life was enhanced because I started working on me. Thank you (Bishop Jakes) for always providing a word that I could not help but to hear, but also understand and apply (to my everyday living).”
Washington is hopeful Bishop Jakes would take the time to read The Power Of Shut Up, an awe-inspiring written work that is comprised of 89 pages in length.
A book she began composing in 2018, Washington’s The Power Of Shut Up reminds us that as rudely as some words are, sometimes, they need to be heard, according to a detailed introduction of this author’s book at Amazon.com.
“I share how important it is to think before you speak,” said Washington, alluding to Proverbs 17:27-28. “I share ways that you can actually block your blessings by speaking ill of others. I share how silence can be powerful but shouldn’t be used as a weapon. I share tips on how to check your intentions before you speak. I help people change their perspective about the words ‘shut up,’ and regain the positive meaning. ‘Shut up’ can be a good thing. I also share bible quotes that speak to the power of the tongue.”
Widely regarded as a media entrepreneur, Washington is the founder and publisher of Dove Style Magazine.

“I share stories from those I call community celebrities, making a difference in their neighborhoods,” Washington explained. “I shine the spotlight on celebrities that are doing great things nationally and globally. I love to interview people to learn about who they are as people more than their celebrity
“I help bring attention to young people who are doing great things in their communities. I try to empower others to believe in themselves and making their dreams and visions a reality through our articles and interviews.”
As a media entrepreneur, Washington has become a fixture for providing a credible platform, where those featured are afforded the golden opportunity to share their messages, dreams, as well as their journeys to inspire others, she said.
Also, Washington, emphasized: “I shine the light on things that wouldn’t get noticed by a lot of people. I hope to show that you don’t have to be a big star to get in a magazine, on a show or to publish a book. I use what I know and learn to help others live in their gifts and I hope that I am inspiring others to know that they can do it, too.”
More than anything, Washington said she doesn’t take lightly how God is strategically using her to help advance the kingdom.
“The reason that I feel it is special that God has given me the assignment to help others get their messages, dreams, visions and more out there to share with others is because I feel we all can win,” Washington said. “I would hate for anyone to miss the wonderful things that everyone has to offer but get missed because they are not famous. I feel blessed to be a part of someone’s journey that leads them closer to their goals.”
