Topics
NEW! Lessons Learned from an Ended Marriage
All marriages require work, but some are harder than others. We’ll talk about what I learned looking back on my failed marriage and what women can do who find themselves in difficult Christian
marriages. (Tone: Medium/Deep; Audience: Seeker or Believer)
NEW! More than just a Black Eye: Abuse in Marriage
This is a tough topic that few want to take a look at, but I believe all women need to be able to identify the signs of abuse in their own marriages and in the marriages of those around them. We’ll also learn what to do next if we suspect abuse in our own or someone else’s marriage. (Tone: Medium/Deep; Audience: Seeker or Believer)
NEW! Plan B Life: This Isn’t What I Signed Up For
When life looks nothing like we planned on or hoped and prayed for, what does God want us to do about it and learn from it? (Tone: Medium; Audience: Seeker or Believer)
Calm in My Chaos
How can a woman find calm in the midst of her chaotic life? Find practical ideas and encouraging inspiration for increasing the calm and decreasing the chaos of your crazy life by investing in your mental, relational and spiritual reserves. (Tone: Light; Audience: Seeker or Believer)
Calm in My Christmas Chaos
When you think of Christmas, what comes to mind? Shopping, baking, relatives, stress? What happened to the peace? That is exactly what God wants to give us during this time. (Tone: Light; Audience: Seeker or Believer)
Fresh Starts
Do you ever feel like you need another chance with God? We’ll take a look at a variety of situations when a fresh start is what you’re wishing for. (Tone: Light/Medium; Audience: Seeker or Believer)
I Sinned…Now What?
We all have choices before us — sometimes we take the high road, sometimes we falter. What do you do after the fall to get back on the right track, and what are some steps to take to prevent poor choices in the future? (Tone: Medium/Deep; Audience: Believer)
Relationships 201
Relationships are costly and can break our hearts. We’ll tackle conflict resolution, boundaries, forgiveness, and letting go. (Tone: Medium/Deep; Audience: Seeker or Believer)
What’s So Great about Friendship?
A practical look at finding and keeping one of life’s most precious gifts – friendship, as well as tips to keep the friendship with your husband and God strong. (Tone: Light; Audience: Seeker or Believer)
When Life Feels Harder Than You Think It Should Be
Life will hand us trouble…it’s not a matter of if but when. What can we do during the peaceful times of life to shore up and prepare our hearts, and when the trouble comes, what can we do to spur on the healing? (Tone: Medium/Deep; Audience: Seeker or Believer)
You Can Make a Difference
Do you wish you had the knowledge and time to do something to make our world a better place? We’ll talk about several practical, simple and meaningful ideas to help change the world with God’s help. (Tone: Medium; Audience: Seeker or Believer)
