TALKS & TOPICS While there are several topics that I'm equipped to speak on, I'll never deliver a "canned speech." Whether you're looking for a keynote speaker, a workshop teacher, or an experienced retreat leader, consider how we can partner together to create an event and a message that aligns with your needs and goals.
As a rule of thumb, all my books, resources, retreats and teaching topics focus on developing the inner life as the means of giving creative expression to the Divine purpose within you. A typical retreat or workshop might include the following elements:
- Receive (a time to receive new teaching and suggestions for spiritual growth) - Renew (A time to listen to God through the Word, silence, and prayer) - Reconnect (An interactive opportunity to share and support each other).
Contact me at the email listed at the bottom of this page and we'll discuss the details.
BREAK THROUGH: Unearthing God's Image to Find the Real You The ordinary struggles of life have a way of burying the real you. That's why God welcomes you every moment of every day to simply be yourself. He runs to greet you and invites you to see the breathtaking vista where the image of his perpetual faithfulness strengthens your inner being, and his good grace enfolds you with rest and renews your mind.
