Speaking

Looking for a speaker for your next event?

Hit me up with your details!

A dynamic presentation of a deeply profound message can be life changing. The same presentation with a good dose of humor? Even better!

Because my primary ministry is to the congregation I pastor, and I accept outside speaking engagements only when they don’t conflict with ministry at my church. That said, I love to speak at retreats, women’s groups (including MOPS), college ministries, young adult events, churches, and team events, when my schedule permits.

Topics include:

Uncluttered: Less stuff, less stress, more soul
Risking friendship
Almost holy: Life-giving spiritual practices
True Self(ie): Developing the person God created you to be
Joy comes in the morning, and morning comes WAY too soon: Humor for moms
Marriage as a team sport

In addition to my books, my publications include Christianity Today, Fathom Mag, MOPS International, and (in)courage. I’m a regular contributor to The Glorious Table and I’ve been featured on Two Peas in a Podcast, Food and Faith, and The Ride Home with John and Kathy.
