Elizabeth Savage shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.
Elizabeth , so good to connect and we’re excited to share your story and insights with our audience. There’s a ton to learn from your story, but let’s start with a warm up before we get into the heart of the interview. What’s more important to you—intelligence, energy, or integrity?
Integrity matters more to me. Integrity shows someone’s true character. How you treat people when people are watching or not. When someone gives you their integrity, it reflects their energy, their intentions, and even the wisdom. Intelligence is valuable, but without integrity, intelligence loses its purpose.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Elizabeth Savage, and I am honored to serve as a Pastor at Triumph Worship Center.
My personal journey is truly a testimony of what it means to walk into your triumph season. I am a Overcomer of domestic violence, and for a long time my life felt like a storm. But that storm became my story, my story became my testimony, and that testimony evolved into a God-given purpose. Today, that purpose has become my victory—what I call triumph.
Because of that transformation, I founded a nonprofit organization called Stand Together Against Nationwide Domestic-Violence dedicated to supporting individuals impacted by domestic violence. My heart is to help others find the same healing, strength, and breakthrough that God allowed me to experience.
What makes my brand unique is that everything I do flows from real lived experience—pain turned into purpose, fear turned into faith, and brokenness turned into beauty. STAND is not just the name of my organization it is the journey God walked me through.
As we step into 2026, we have some powerful events and programs planned to expand support, resources, and hope for survivors. I am excited and grateful for what God is doing—not only in my life, but in the lives of everyone connected to this mission.
Appreciate your sharing that. Let’s talk about your life, growing up and some of topics and learnings around that. Who saw you clearly before you could see yourself?
I would have to say my husband, Dennis Savage.
From the moment we met, he has always seen the greatness in me. Long before I could recognize my own purpose, he would remind me, “You are the key to someone else’s breakthrough.” He saw the calling on my life when I was still learning to see myself through God’s eyes.
He has always spoke life into me—telling me that I would become someone great, that I would one day understand the purpose God created me for. And when that moment finally came, when I started to walk in that truth, I realized he had been right all along.
He saw the pastor, the leader, the light, the healer, and the woman of strength long before I ever could. And because of that, he has been a reflection of God’s love, showing me what peace, healing, and purpose truly looks like.
So without question, my husband is the one who saw me clearly before I ever saw myself.
If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
Girl, you are not a mistake. You were never born to be a mistake.”
Everything people said about you—even the one who was supposed to protect you—could never compare to what God spoke over your life. Their words were lies, but God’s word is truth.
Girl, I am so proud of you.
Proud that you didn’t give up.
Proud that you pushed through the pain.
Proud that even in the moments you wanted to quit, you still gave what little strength you had left for others, and for yourself.
Thank you for giving when you felt empty.
Thank you for holding on when you felt alone.
Thank you for showing me strength.
Thank you for showing me purpose.
Thank you for leading the way to who I am today.
Thank you for learning to love yourself.
Thank you for realizing your worth, because today we stand on strength, faith, purpose, and victory.
Thank you.
Sure, so let’s go deeper into your values and how you think. Is the public version of you the real you?
Absolutely. What you see is truly what you get. I’m the same person behind closed doors as I am in public. Every moment, every conversation, every interaction. I love being around people, celebrating them, supporting them, and just loving on them. That’s who I’ve always been.
I’ve always had a heart that feels deeply for others. And yes, it’s both a blessing and a challenge, because kindness can be taken advantage of. But it’s also a gift, because people feel seen, loved, and supported when they’re around me. So yes, the version of me you see in public is the same version you’d see anywhere. It’s always been me.
Before we go, we’d love to hear your thoughts on some longer-run, legacy type questions. What will you regret not doing?
I would regret not doing everything I was called to do. I would regret leaving this life without fulfilling the purpose God placed inside me. I don’t want to leave without making an imprint in the places I was meant to touch or without leaving an impact on people’s lives. Not for recognition, not so anyone can say, “She did it,” but so others can see what it looks like to live fully in purpose. I want my life to be an example of what happens when you step out in faith, trust God, and keep moving forward even when it’s hard. If my journey helps someone else believe, heal, or walk boldly into their calling, then I’ve left behind what truly matters. That’s the legacy I want to leave.
