Currently available for speaking engagements!
Topics include:
Anchored: Finding Solid Ground in the Mess of Transition – what we need to navigate in transition and how to anchor ourselves in the midst of it.
Living Loved – learning to rest in God’s love for us
Dealing with Disappointment – based on Lamentations 3, helping us view disappointment (including disappointment with God) with a perspective of faith, hope, and trust in God’s deep love and goodness.
A Process of Discernment – decision-making that takes us far beyond a pro/con list by teaching a more gentle, life-giving process with God.
Staying in Ministry for the Long Haul – the cycle of works/cycle of grace, and how to live out healthy rhythms that keep us flourishing in ministry long term
Helping Kids Transition – including practical ways we can help our kids navigate transition with grace and hope.
Retreat series:
Embracing the Wild: Finding God in the Unexpected Journey – 3 talk series based on the journey of the Israelites. How do we find God when life isn’t what we thought it should be? How do we wait in the wilderness when God isn’t showing up when or how we hoped? And how do we live in good seasons in a way that fortifies us for the next ones?
A Heart Like His – 4 talk series based on the Prodigal Son, discussing how we look for life and love outside of God, how we harden our hearts and rest in our own abilities, the open heart of the Father, and how we can learn to love like He does.
It Is Well With My Soul – 4 talk series based on Jeremiah 17:5-8, and centered on what the soul needs to thrive. Topics include: the soul needs rest, the soul needs a source, the soul needs to bless, and the soul needs others (these could be done as individual talks as well).
I’m also open to creating content for your needs.
