I would love to serve the women at your church or conference! My passion is to help women learn how to renew their minds so they can change the things in their lives they feel powerless to change—breaking free from their strongholds and growing closer to God.

Speaking Topics

Following are some possible speaking topics, but I’m also willing to shape a message around the theme of your event.

Count It All Joy: Embracing God When Life is Hard You’ve heard it before: trials make us grow. The problem is that they don’t always make us grow in ways we want to grow! Trials aren’t neutral. They’ll either bring us closer to God and help us look more like him, or they’ll draw us away from God and lead to things we don’t want in our lives: addictions, bitterness, depression, and hopelessness, just to name a few. In this talk, I’ll help women discover how to handle trials in a way that will help them grow and also help them live joyfully and peacefully even in the midst of their trials.

The Most Powerful Biblical Principle for Life Change Have you ever tried to change, but couldn’t make it happen? Maybe you wanted to stop yelling, but then a stressful moment hit and you couldn’t stop yourself. Or you wanted to start a quiet time habit, but the discipline only lasted for a week. Or you wanted to control your eating or drinking or Netflix habit, but  you always defaulted to the ‘too much’ category. Thankfully, God has a way to help us change those things we feel powerless to change. It’s called the renewing of the mind, and in this talk, we’ll look at some practical ways to renew the mind for life change.

Stop Worrying. Start Renewing. Do you ever feel like circumstances are so uncertain right now you can’t help but worry? The Bible tells us we’re transformed by the renewing of the mind, and this works for anything we want to change, including letting go of worry! In this presentation, we’ll discuss the reasons we worry, the lies we believe that make us worry, and some truths and simple renewing practices that will help us stop worrying. As you spend more time renewing and less time worrying, you’ll find yourself enjoying a greater peace of mind, better sleep, improved health, and less stressful relationships with the people you worry about.

Note: Although I don’t currently have a video of me speaking, you can get a feel for my style by watching this video I did for a church that requested an online video for their workshop: Renew Your Mind for Life Change Seminar. I am also a people person so I enjoy visiting with attendees during the event!

Availability: Local Weekdays

I’m often available to speak locally if it’s during the work week and within a 2-hour drive of where I’m living. If you’re interested in that, go ahead and email me directly to inquire about availability. Since my husband is a travel physical therapist, I live in different areas of the country throughout the year. I’m currently living in Helena, Montana and will be here until 11/10/23. I won’t know my next location until late-October, but we will probably be in southern Utah or Arizona from December-February.

Availability: Weekends or Non-Local Speaking Requests

Due to time constraints, I only do a limited number of speaking presentations on weekends or where I have to fly to speak. If you’re looking for a speaker under those conditions, please fill out the Speaker Request form below and a member of our team will get back to you. Thanks!:
