For over 25 years I’ve been speaking at moms’ meetings, weekend worship services, and writers, ministry, and missions conferences. I’ve taught workshops, half-day events, and weekend retreats. No group is too large or too small, and I don’t charge a set speaking fee (let’s talk about it).

Here are some topics I’m passionate about, but if your group has another idea for your special event, let’s create something together!

Morning by Morning: A Spirit-led guide for getting everything done Do you ever collapse into bed at night exhausted, yet still feel like you didn’t accomplish enough? You’re not alone—and it’s not how God designed us to live. In this retreat, conference or workshop message, you’ll discover a simple, biblically grounded, and easily customizable daily planning tool that helps you co-create your day with Him. By following God’s one-day-at-a-time rhythm of creation and weaving spiritual practices into your everyday tasks, you’ll learn to finish each day with peace, purpose, and a genuine sense of fulfillment.

Redesign Your Home Life: Create Room to Love God and Love People
You want to grow deeper in your love relationship with Jesus and wider in loving service to your neighbor, but often your time, money, and energy are consumed with managing your home. At the end of the day, you have little left over for God and people. What if you could learn how to manage the place where you live for the purpose of spending more time with Jesus? What if, with some intentional planning, you could maximize your resources and impact your family and friends, your church, your community, and your world for Him in whatever way God has designed you? Redesign Your Home Life is a popular, practical, and spiritually grounded home-management plan that helps you make the place where you live into a warm, clean, and productive environment where you can love God and love people.

How to Speak When You’re Not a Speaker
Has God given you a message to share—something to inspire, teach, entertain, or bring awareness to—but you are not a speaker? (Ugh!) That’s how I got started.⁣ In this practical, biblically based, step-by-step workshop for beginners, you can learn how to find an audience and build a speaking ministry; prepare an effective message for any size audience and any length of time; and deliver an engaging talk that listeners will remember. This topic is especially helpful for writers, missionaries … anyone who has something to say! (one- or two-part workshop)⁣

What I Know About Leadership
Your heart is in the right place—you’re passionate to serve in your position—but sometimes things get off-track. Hear the takeaways from my experience in leadership—the failures and victories—and learn how to become a more organized, effective leader and sustain your role by knowing your mission; never underestimating your need for training and support; playing to your strengths; leading like a man (oh!); and remembering that you can’t pour from an empty vessel.

A Better Story  
Women are gobbling up fiction at a phenomenal rate—stories of romance, mystery, and miracles—and a little relaxation and escape isn’t a bad thing. In fact, well-written fiction can change your heart! But did you know that when you read eleven books of the Old Testament, you can go on a historical journey through books that read like fiction?

Full of characters and action, plots and drama, and even some comedy, the Bible is packed with true stories about people like you and me. Learn a Bible-reading plan that will change the way you see your life in the timeline of God’s story because “…whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope” (Romans 15:4, ESV). (workshop, half- or full-day event, weekend retreat)
