Timeko Whitaker

Timeko L. Whitaker is the wife of Pastor Eric J. Whitaker and the mother of Daelin and Eyuana. She identifies with the concepts of devotion and servitude, having honorably served her country for over 20 years in the United States Army culminating in her retirement in 2008. Timeko now brings the Army's core character values of loyalty, duty, respect, selfless-service, honor, integrity and personal courage into her journey to fulfill her ministry purpose.

More central to her core than serving her country is her devotion and service to the Lord Jesus Christ. She is humbled at the call to serve as co-founder and co-pastor of Mercy Seat Church where she flows in the anointing of a true oracle and intercessor and operates in the gifts of exhortation and encouragement. Timeko holds a bachelor's degree in human resource management as well as a master's degree in theology.

Timeko is a certified human behavior consultant and a certified Christian life coach. She is the founder and CEO of Authentic Identity Coaching, whose mission is to help others walk in their true identity. She is a published author of "Hidden Identity: The Untold Stories of Pastor's Wives" and is also the Co-host of the Intentional Kingdom Living radio broadcast which airs weekly on AM1310 or www.praiseindy.com, the part-time television host of the local Trinity Broadcasting Network's WCL J-TV, national conference host, and sought-after workshop facilitator and conference speaker.

With Romans 8:28 as her foundational Scripture, her life is a living epistle and proof positive that nothing can prevent you from knowing and living in your God-given purpose. Timeko strives to live a surrendered life. Believing God's promises, she expects "The Great" and seeks to bring glory to God and advance His Kingdom through her personal journey, while empowering others to pursue and embrace their role in the Kingdom.
