The Tenacious Grace Team

Cookie Cawthon

Executive Director

Cookie Cawthon is a writer, speaker, and the founder of Tenacious Grace--a ministry born out of her own story with Jesus. She uses her gifts to create Bible Studies and speak at churches and events of all shapes and sizes. Her passion for reaching women led her to a local jail where she spends Sunday mornings teaching and connecting with women. She loves every opportunity she gets to teach others about God's fierce love and tenacious grace.

Danielle Rhodes

Operations Director

Danielle Rhodes is an organizer extraordinaire. Her love for Jesus and people -- combined with her ability to break a big thing down into all of its moving pieces -- has made her an incredible asset to the TG team as the Operations Director. She's a wife. Mom. Underdog champion. Event organizer. Baby whisperer. And when not busy serving across many ministries, you can likely find her glued to a good book or possibly a baking show.

Danielle Donahue

Residential Manager

Danielle Donahue is a devoted Christian, wife, mother, and grandmother. She truly enjoys helping and encouraging others. Her life story, which has been filled with many trials and tribulations, will inspire the women at Five Sparrows. She knows this is God’s plan and purpose for her life. In her free time, you will find her spending time with her family and taking road trips.
