ESSENCE MUSIC FESTIVAL 2026 NATIONAL ADVANCE COVERAGE: St. Louis author Kevin Dunn’s latest ‘The Wind Speaks’ addresses slew of modern-day marriage issues
Andre Johnson 
If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, Who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. 8 Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do. (James 1:5-8/NIV)
ADVANCING THE KINGDOM
On the night of May 31, Kevin Dunn hastened to his social media timeline, where the St. Louis-area faith leader unleashed some rather thought-provoking knowledge.
Said Dunn via Facebook:
This isn’t just another book on marriage. It’s a turning point.
The book to which Dunn is alluding is The Wind Speaks: Marriage; When Losing Ground Without Knowing Why, his highly-anticipated published gem that is apart of his fascinating marriage series.
As part of Making Headline News’ 2026 Essence Music Festival advance national coverage for “the party with a purpose” event July 3-5 in New Orleans, Dunn emphasized, among other things, the vision for The Wind Speaks: When Losing Ground Without Knowing Why began to take shape approximately three months ago, particularly during a season of deep prayer, reflection, and observation.

An informative written work that is accompanied by a workbook, Dunn’s The Wind Speaks: When Losing Ground Without Knowing Why is in the presale order phase and is available at https://thewindspeaks.com/ and where books are sold.
“While spending time with the Lord, I became increasingly aware of a pattern I was seeing not only in individuals and marriages, but also within churches, businesses, and communities,” Dunn told MHN. “Many people were sincerely pursuing God, working hard, and doing what they believed was right, yet they were quietly losing ground without fully understanding why.”
Suitably known as a prophetic revelator, Dunn’s The Wind Speaks: When Losing Ground Without Knowing Why vividly enlightens his readers that in a time of global uncertainty, spiritual shifting, and divine awakening, one question echoes across the Body of Christ as it relates to marriage: What is God saying right now?
“In The Wind Speaks Mariage, prophetic revelator Kevin Dunn delivers a timely and spirit-led message for today’s generation,” said a spokesperson for Dunn’s latest book via https://thewindspeaks.com/product/the-wind-speaks-marriage-book-order/. “This powerful book provides prophetic insight into what the voice of God is speaking to the Body of Christ in this hour. With clarity, boldness, and spiritual depth, Author Kevin Dunn invites believers to move beyond surface-level faith and into a deeper realm of discernment and divine alignment.”

Moreover, Dunn goes to great length to provide “four compelling reasons” readers should read his life-altering, spiritually-gut checking marriage series:
- Gain Clear Prophetic Insight for Today’s Times, meaning readers will come to understand what the Spirit of God is speaking right now to the Body of Christ and how it applies to this present season.
- Sharpen Your Ability to Hear God Accurately, meaning readers will learn how to fine-tune their spiritual ear, discern the voice of God with confidence, and distinguish His leading from distractions.
- Align Your Life With The Holy Spirit, meaning readers will discover how to walk in greater obedience, spiritual sensitivity, and divine alignment so their lives reflect Heaven’s agenda and,
- Strengthen And Deepen Your Walk With God, meaning readers will move beyond routine faith into a more intimate, intentional relationship with God that produces clarity, purpose, and spiritual growth.
“As I prayed about this burden, the Lord began revealing that many setbacks are not the result of a lack of effort, intelligence, or even desire,” said Dunn, explaining the vision behind his latest book. “Often, they stem from subtle misalignment — small shifts in perspective, priorities, communication, relationships, or spiritual focus that go unnoticed until the consequences become visible.
THUS SAID THE LORD
Interestingly enough, Dunn acknowledged how the phrase, ‘losing ground without knowing why’ repeatedly echoed in his spirit.
“It was more than a title; it was a prophetic observation of what many people are experiencing today,” Dunn explained. “God began showing me that before restoration can occur, there must first be awareness. Before recovery comes revelation.”
For what it’s worth, Dunn’s message through his latest book is ultimately one of hope, he explained.
“It is not written to condemn people for where they are, but to help them identify hidden areas of drift and regain the ground they were created to possess,” Dunn said. “Through Biblical principles, practical insight, and prophetic revelation, the book invites readers to examine their lives, relationships, and spiritual walk with fresh eyes.”
To his credit, Dunn wasted little time constructing The Wind Speaks: When Losing Ground Without Knowing Why, having begun the legwork in February 2026 and completing the manuscript in May.
For his valiant authorship effort, he had fielded an assortment of rave reviews.
“The feedback has been overwhelmingly encouraging and insightful,” Dunn said. “One of the most common responses from readers is that the book helped them identify issues they knew existed but could not clearly define. Many have shared that the message gave language to experiences they had been struggling to understand for years.
“Readers have expressed appreciation for the book’s balance of Biblical teaching, practical application, and spiritual insight,” Dunn continued. “Several have commented that it challenged them to look beyond external circumstances and examine areas of their lives that may have gradually drifted out of alignment.”
Next up for Dunn: The continuation of The Wind Speaks series with the book entitled, The Wind Speaks: What The Eyes Cannot See, a book that is currently in the works and scheduled for release in the near future, he said.
