MEET DR. PURPOSED ON MY WAY TO PURPOSE I was a goal setter. I was determined to attend Grambling University after high school. I had it down to a Science besides one thing, I didn’t see a baby in my plans. Even that didn’t stop me, however, it forced me to grow up fast. I was now a Mom out of wedlock. Only 19 but, my mission was to never have any more kids until I was married and God held me to that promise. I was introduced to my future husband and sure I could discern he had a spirit I had witnessed before the abuse. After 13 years of Domestic Violence and three kids later, I received my calling as a Prophetess. Because of my surrender, God delivered me from the hands of my enemies. Today we’d like to introduce you to Dr. Purposed Carn. So, before we jump into specific questions about what you do, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story. At the age of one is when my first experience with molestation began. I had to walk through that painful season well into my teens. When I turned four my mother questioned me trying to determine if her child’s innocence was being stolen yet, her approach was always to make me feel if I didn’t tell I would suffer the consequences from her. This was my first lesson of knowing the enemy plans were strictly for evil. Years later, she became my abuser physically, emotionally and mentally. My mom feared no one but God, which she never stopped me from getting to know my Creator. My high school years at Scarborough High School in Houston, TX became my scapegoat. I buried myself in working, playing Volleyball all four years and maintaining my grades with plans on becoming a star.

My father worked all the time and my mother made me think I was never meant to be here or would never be accepted doing anything in life. My principal Mr. McGee would say, “One day we’re Gonna see DeDe on radio and tv!”
In 2005, I received my 1st degree in Human Science (Psychology/Sociology). I was an entrepreneur and landed my first job/ministry assignment at CPS. I made a decision to take care of my Mom before God called her home from cancer. And on my last workday, a Client fell on her knees asking, “What must I do to be saved?” During that journey, God allowed my now-husband, Pastor Micheal David Carn to find me and within 45 days, we were married. Our first kiss was on our wedding day July 28, 2006. It was a God Thang! In between time I’ve written 5 books, Prophetically Speaking II, Stretched Beyond Measures, Don’t Get It Twisted, Remember, You’re Purposed and my most recent, How to deal with Death, Dying & Grief, after recently losing my two younger brothers, August 5, 2017, & August 14, 2018. Recording my first Gospel single“I Owe It All To You”, stageplays and hosting my first show. Did I mention the Counselor found herself put away in several mental institutions suffering from Clinical Depression, Anxieties and Suicidal attempts? Yes, it was a very low point in my life and ministry. Within that time, I received my Masters in Human Science, MBA, an Honorary Doctorate and became an
