Speaking Topics

I speak and conduct seminars on a wide range of subjects, including Christian life, parenting, marriage, homeschooling and biblical finances. My speaking one-sheet provides a convenient summary of information for your reference, feel free to share the link or download it and share it that way.

Here are just some of my more popular speaking topics for women, to give you some ideas. If you’re interested in something a bit different, don’t hesitate to ask.

Retreats

Retreat packages can be adapted to suit your theme in most cases. I normally design or provide booklets for either take-home devotions or small group discussion questions.
