Emerging speaker and leader 

Dr. Cynthia is seeking to build a bridge between the younger and older generations of women. She firmly believes in being a Titus 2 woman and encourages other women like herself to help develop the younger women of today. She also is eager to learn and glean from the newness and innovative mindset of younger women. She believes that it will ultimately take the strengths, wisdom, and knowledge of all women together to make a lasting impact on the Kingdom of God.

​

Dr. Cynthia and her husband David have been blessed for 32 years with a blissful, thriving, and successful marriage (and counting). David and Cynthia together have created a curriculum for couples navigating the journey of how to overcome the challenges that today’s “Blended Families” face. They empower families through their counseling at "A Goodin Family Affair." They are utilizing their own life experiences in championing 9 children, 14 grandchildren and now with 2 great grands, to build and restore relationships for the Kingdom and Glory of God.

​

In 2003, Cynthia and David moved to Jacksonville Florida to establish “The Church of Jacksonville” under Senior Pastors, Michael, and Connie Smith. There, Cynthia served for 13 years as an Elder, Lead Intercessor, and Marriage Counselor. Pastor Connie also chose Cynthia to lead the women’s ministry called “Women Around the Word”. Beyond the church walls, Cynthia volunteered with the Department of Corrections and the “Do Better Movement” campaign which called for the reform of major corporations that negatively target urban/low-income communities by use of violent music and strategic ad campaigns.

​

For leisure, Dr. Cynthia enjoys cooking, journaling, dancing, jogging, and leading a healthy and active lifestyle. She leads her life dedicated to meeting the needs of and encouraging all those who cross her path with the love and the light of Jesus Christ. She is a humble servant of the Lord seeking to fulfill the call of God on her life.
