Speaking
There are few things that bring me joy and energize me more than sharing God’s word with others. It is a privilege! Over the last 16 years I have spoken across the country at high schools, universities, churches, women’s retreats (for both churches and parachurch organizations), as well as local mom’s groups.
Having served in various professions, from overseas missionary, to non-profit coordinator, to Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (and everything in between), I understand the importance more than ever for clear, effective, engaging and heartfelt communication.
Our Lord is incredible! He is the healer! He is the miracle worker!
And we get to be on adventure with Him in this world. What a gift.
Some of my favorite topics to speak on are (but not limited to)…
-
Going Deeper
Going deeper in and deeper up with the Lord – Stepping out of our ordinary routines and allowing the Holy Spirit to lead us deeper into kingdom living.
-
Purpose in Pain
Making sense of suffering and pain in our lives – through my various seasons of darkness, I share what the Lord has taught me in the refining process.
-
Life on a Mission
Living Life on Mission – You don’t have to be a missionary in a foreign country in order to make every moment count for the Lord.
-
Mental Health & Faith
I use my expertise as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist to dispel mental health myths in the church, and talk about how faith and healing can go hand in hand.
What Others Are Saying
“Katie is gifted relationally and speaks with authenticity, conviction and care to those around her. Katie's heart for the Lord and her desire to care for people are genuine and clearly experienced by the people in her life. Even though she was our CRU Women’s Retreat speaker, she spent her free time connecting one-on-one with women and never hesitated to share her story and the things God has taught her over the years. Her teaching was rich and thought-provoking, and yet was full of practical take-aways. I highly recommend Katie as a speaker and leader!"
— Bonnie Burger, Full time CRU staff worker
“I have had the privilege of hearing Katie speak to our Mom’s group. She is an excellent communicator. Katie loves the Lord, and that is evident in her speaking. She is very authentic and isn’t afraid to share about her life – both her trials and her victories, which I feel helps others relate well to her. She is such an encourager, yet she doesn’t hesitate to challenge us to make sure our thinking is Biblically based, and that our daily living reflects a Biblical worldview.”
— Lindy Wilson, Pastor’s Wife & Firm Family Church Mom’s Group Facilitator
"Katie is a joy! I was thrilled to have her speak for our church's women's retreat and highly recommend her. She is passionate about her faith, deeply cares about people, and is also thoughtful & insightful. Katie loves God and loves people well. She is an encouragement to me in her intentionality of reaching out to her neighbors with God's love in very practical ways. All of these qualities come through when she speaks."
