The speaker life is fun and sometimes … funny.
There was the time I packed only sandals and short sleeves for a February women’s event in Arizona. What I didn’t know was that although I was flying into Phoenix (which was 70 degrees and sunny) the retreat was in Flagstaff (where it was 28 degrees and snowing). My toes froze! I think feeling just returned last week.
Another speaker friend confessed that she made it all the way to the airport after an event … only to realize, as she entered security, that she was still wired up with the church’s mic pack!
The stories are as endless as the miles traveled.
But it recently occurred to me that many of you may have never been able to come to a live event. So, this week, we are doing something fun. We’re giving you a tour through a few recent speaking gigs, with takeaways right here in the blog that can help you in life, marriage, and ministry. And as a bonus for our subscribers, we are sharing the entire opening session from one of our marriage events.
If you like what you see, I’d be honored if you’d pass this post along to your adult ministry pastor, women’s event planner, or denominational leadership team. We have select speaking dates available in Fall 2025 and are booking into 2026 now.
Many of our event bookings come through the pipeline of church members who simply read one of our books or blogs or heard us on a podcast.
So here’s the first stop on our tour – a recent women’s event about the biblical habits of happiness.
