Donna Aust

Donna Aust is the founder of Donna Aust Ministries. Through her ministry, Donna inspires women through her writings, videos, Bible studies in both small and large group settings, and through her keynote messages at women’s conferences throughout the country.

Donna obtained her M.A. in Theological Studies from Nyack Theological Seminary in Nyack, New York and her M.S. in Organizational Psychology from Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, NJ.

Donna Aust’s life as a successful corporate trainer, martial arts instructor, and passionate advocate for women’s rights was often overshadowed by fear, anxiety, perfectionism, insecurity, rebellion, and new-age teachings until she underwent a radical transformation through the truth of the Gospel over 25 years ago.

Donna is passionate about writing, teaching, and mentoring the next generation of women, and she is equally devoted to her growing family—her husband, four sons, three daughters-in-law, and three grandchildren. She and her husband, Stuart, are also grateful for the opportunity to support and love two students from Sierra Leone who now attend Taylor University and have become like family to them.
