If you are looking for a speaker for your event, here’s what I need you to know:
- I think conversations off stage are as important, if not more important than whatever I say up front. It’s important to me to interact with, and have deep conversations with the people at your event, so that they can process through the message, and connect it to what is going on in their lives.
- As a speaker, I want to work with you and support you in what you are trying to accomplish in your event. We are in this together.
- My passion is for helping women understand the depth of love that is found in the gospel. To be honest, no matter where the topic starts, I end up talking about the gospel, and all Jesus has done. I’m like a broken record that way. I’m not about self-help. I believe all of the Bible points to Christ’s finished work of redemption.

I highly recommend her!” – Kara Orcutt, MOPS coordinator
