Who is Rose Ann Forte?
Rose Ann Forte was a successful C-Suite executive and ministry leader in the church. A working mother of four, she appeared to manage it all. But behind the scenes, she quietly relied on alcohol to cope with life’s growing pressures. Over time, her alcohol use increased significantly, taking a toll on her health and emotional well-being. She felt like a fraud disconnected from both God and the Church, despite her deep faith. Though she made many attempts to control her drinking, she repeatedly found herself back in the same cycle. She couldn’t understand why her faith alone wasn’t solving the problem, and the shame weighed heavily on her.
She reached a point where she was “sick and tired of being sick and tired.” The cycle of defeat, shame, and struggle had worn her down, and she knew something had to change. That’s when she made the bold decision to enter a secular coaching program, committing to put alcohol aside for just 90 days.
She expected a temporary break. Instead, she experienced a profound personal transformation.
Through the process, God revealed powerful truths about her identity, her choices, and His desire for her freedom. The experience was so impactful that Rose Ann became a Client Journey and Enrollment Coach within the very program that helped her. It was there that she was introduced to the science of habit change and neuroscience—principles such as choice, awareness, reflection, gratitude, and processing truth. These concepts, which had long been present in her faith, gained a more profound meaning through the lens of science. The integration of biblical wisdom and brain science became the breakthrough she needed.
Daily spiritual practices and disciplines, such as prayer, scripture, gratitude, and reflection, grounded her spiritually. At the same time, neuroscience gave her the confidence that lasting change was not only possible, but within reach. This robust framework gave her the tools to build self-control and choose a new path forward, not only with alcohol, but in every area of her life.
Since then, Rose Ann has dedicated her life to exploring the connection between Christian faith and the science of the brain. The life-changing truths she discovered now live on through her books, coaching programs, and transformational tools, all designed to help others experience the same freedom and purpose she found.
The Beliefs That Guide Rose Ann’s Work
Rose Ann’s work is deeply personal. She knows what it feels like to be stuck, and she knows what it takes to break free. Her books, coaching, and the Choose Freedom® Program are all built on these core beliefs:
God’s Word is both true and transformative.
We were created for connection with God and with other people. The Bible is not just good advice. It is a loving and protective guide. Romans 12:2 tells us to renew our minds. Science now confirms that we can rewire our brains by repeating new thoughts and actions. Rose Ann combines both faith and science to help people find peace, purpose, and freedom.
There is a real enemy, and he wants to keep you stuck.
John 10:10 tells us that the enemy wants to steal, kill, and destroy. Rose Ann knows how easily alcohol and other substances can take over our lives. Her goal is to help people recognize these lies, reject them, and walk in the truth of who God created them to be.
Faith and science are not at odds: they’re partners in healing.
God is the author of both the Bible and the brain. Rose Ann believes lasting freedom comes from using both spiritual truth and scientific tools. Her books and programs help people renew their minds and change their habits at the same time.
Freedom is a choice that starts with preparation.
Real change starts when we are willing to prepare our hearts and minds. That is why Rose Ann wrote Prepare to Quit and The Plans He Has For Me. These books give people practical, Spirit-led steps to take before and during the process of quitting. The goal is not just to stop using substances. The goal is to become the person God intended all along.
