Do You Need Inspiration to Create New Habits and Stay the Course?

Rose Ann Forte was a successful C-Suite executive and leader in the church, a working mom of four, and a social drinker. Over the years, life’s stresses and a difficult marriage created an environment where her alcohol usage increased significantly. After the collapse of her marriage, her drinking further escalated and she felt like a fraud. She was diagnosed with major depressive disorder and asked God to take her off this earth.

Do You Need Inspiration to Create New Habits and Stay the Course?


AA was not an option in her mind. She had already submitted to God and didn’t want to call herself an alcoholic. When COVID-19 hit, she enrolled in a coaching program to put alcohol to the side for three months. Her experience was extremely transformational, and she recognized God’s instruction embedded in the entire process. She became free of the psychological slavery of this habit through this process. She identified what alcohol had stolen from her life and understood that God had a better plan for her. 

Please share her interview with anyone who is struggling or has a family member who is struggling with addiction.

Rose Ann Forte


Rose Ann felt called to document what she learned with a daily devotional so others could experience God’s promises through scriptural instruction with hope and a better plan for the future. Rose Ann is an Alcohol-Free Coach, a Positive Intelligence Coach, and an international-selling author of a book called The Plans He Has For Me, A 12-week Daily Devotional for Freedom.

Rose Ann recently developed the Choose Freedom Course that teaches the 12 most important biblically based and scientifically proven methods for renewing your mind as it relates to alcohol or other toxic substances.

During her interview, she explains the difference between this approach and the 12-step approach that is predominantly used today.

Rob Rene grew up as a gifted athlete and runner with a keen interest in health and nutrition. After getting hit by a truck and getting thrown 36 feet. nearly losing his life and losing his dream of becoming a professional runner, Rob struggled for years with addiction and a lack of clear direction. 

Through God’s guidance, he became a researcher on the takeover of our medical system, frequencies, and quantum energy.


Rob Rene

Through this research, he found Quantum Energy Solutions that are helping people get off addictive big pharma medications. He founded QE Strong – a company dedicated to utilizing unique all-natural solutions to improve people’s health. A service greatly needed in the ever-increasingly overweight and unhealthy community we find today. His New Faith and Health Newsletter is the go-to resource for expert advice on living a healthy, vibrant, and God-centered life. 

Rob's interview was one of the most stimulating I have heard. Pain is a major issue that needs a solution. You will gain new hope over chronic pain when you listen to Rob's story. The pain patches he has developed have an added benefit no one can match - and are almost unbelievable. 

How to Boost Your Immune System

QE Strong's beginning came from Rick Blessed2Teach and his brother Rob's search for health solutions for the Blessed2Teach community. Rob was working on formulating healthy all-natural supplements and was led by the Lord to the amazing Quantum Energy solutions.

While the Quantum Energy solutions appeared to be amazing, Rob had learned the extremely critical importance of doing his own research to verify anything after becoming red-pilled in 2020. After doing deep dives into Quantum Energy, Intentions, and how successful they have become, they began testing within their community.

The results were amazing and the reviews and testimonials from people were undeniable; thus, QE Strong was born so they could bring these incredible solutions to the world and help people get off big pharma drugs.

Patricia Monserrate believed she had to be perfect in every way. This included keeping the secret of her abuse. One night, as her two small daughters slept in their beds, she found herself alone in a closed closet, sitting on the floor crying and screaming at God, "I can’t go on  - I want to die."

Patricia takes pride in providing the best personal, professional, and spiritual solutions to those looking for a better way of living. Recognized for her extraordinary commitment of volunteering, she received the President’s Volunteer Award for four straight years.

What effect does keeping a secret have on us? A deep-rooted secret carries a darkness that affects our physical and mental health. It brings brokenness, sadness, and hopelessness. To overcome the guilt and shame, we need to forgive ourselves, to finally find freedom.
