About
Dawn Walker
Are you standing at the edge of a new season in life? Many of us face critical moments—when stepping into a new role, starting a family, changing careers, or following God’s call—where temptation strikes hardest. Dawn Walker, emerging church leader and author of The Temptation Trap, believes these thresholds of destiny are the very places where Satan sets his most cunning traps.
Her new book, The Temptation Trap: Unmasking Satan’s Strategy at the Threshold of Destiny, explores how believers can resist temptation and lean on God’s provision, presence, and promises. In a recent conversation on the PublishU Podcast, Dawn shared her personal story, her passion for teaching God’s Word, and why this message is urgently needed today.
Dawn Walker didn’t begin her career in ministry. For over three decades, she worked in the banking industry, building a reputation for leadership and excellence. Yet, alongside her professional career, she always carried a deep love for Scripture and teaching.
Raised in Swansea, South Wales, and now living in Halifax, UK, Dawn is no stranger to balancing busy roles. She and her husband, a musician, are raising four children, and her home life is as full as her ministry schedule. But as she explains, it was precisely through the challenges and thresholds in her own journey that God prepared her to speak on temptation and spiritual resilience.
The title of the book is drawn from Dawn’s study of Scripture. She noticed how, throughout history, thresholds—moments of transition—are prime opportunities for temptation. The Israelites faced it in the wilderness. Jesus encountered it in the desert when He fasted for 40 days. And we still face it today, whether in our relationships, careers, or spiritual growth.
Rooted in the biblical phrase “it is written,” Dawn’s book provides believers with practical ways to recognize and resist Satan’s tactics. Rather than being caught off guard, readers are equipped to respond with God’s Word and lean into His promises.
As Dawn shares, the goal is not to scare Christians about the reality of temptation but to empower them. “We don’t have to fall into the same traps,” she explains. “God has already given us everything we need to stand firm.”
One of the key themes of The Temptation Trap is learning to discern when you are standing at a threshold moment. These moments may not always feel dramatic. Sometimes they appear in ordinary decisions—taking a new job, moving to a new city, or stepping into leadership. Other times, they come during trials, loss, or change.
At these points, temptation often whispers:
Dawn’s book equips readers to recognize these whispers for what they are—strategies designed to derail destiny. By identifying them early, believers can choose trust over fear, faith over doubt, and obedience over compromise.
Beyond her book, Dawn is an experienced public speaker who shares God’s Word across the UK and internationally. Her teaching is marked by clarity, depth, and relevance, making complex biblical truths accessible for everyday life.
What sets her apart is her willingness to be authentic. She doesn’t write or speak from a place of perfection but from lived experience—balancing work, ministry, and motherhood while holding onto God’s promises. Her story encourages others to do the same.
Whether you are a new believer or a seasoned Christian, The Temptation Trap offers timely encouragement. It’s more than a book about resisting sin; it’s a roadmap for walking faithfully with God through life’s pivotal moments.
Some readers may find themselves relating to the Israelites, feeling stuck in cycles of wandering. Others may identify with Jesus’ wilderness moment, where hunger, weariness, and vulnerability made Him a target for the enemy. Wherever you are, this book reminds you: you are not alone, and you are not without tools.
Thresholds are unavoidable in life. But they don’t have to be stumbling blocks. With the wisdom of Scripture and the guidance found in Dawn Walker’s The Temptation Trap, believers can step confidently into their God-given destiny.
If you’re seeking strength to resist temptation, clarity at life’s crossroads, and encouragement to trust God’s provision, this book is a must-read.
