Thank you for your interest in inviting me to speak at your women’s event.

It would truly be a joy to encourage the women in your church or ministry through biblical, gospel-centered teaching rooted in God’s Word and focused on everyday faithfulness.

Through my ministry at Thankful Homemaker, my podcast, and my book Homemaking Matters: Living for God’s Glory in the Ordinary, my desire is to encourage women to see that our ordinary days matter deeply to the Lord. Whether we are caring for our homes and families, serving in our churches, walking through difficult seasons, or simply seeking to grow in Christ in the middle of everyday life, God is at work in all of it for His glory and our good.

My heart is to leave women encouraged in Christ, grounded in His Word, and reminded that true joy, peace, and purpose are ultimately found in Him alone.

Conference & Retreat Themes:

Homemaking Matters

Living for God’s Glory in the Ordinary

Based on themes from my book Homemaking Matters, this conference encourages women to see the eternal significance of everyday faithfulness. Together we’ll explore how God uses ordinary responsibilities to shape us, serve others through us, and bring glory to Himself.

Sample sessions may include:

• Homemaking Is More Than Just Housework
• Faithfulness in the Ordinary
• Finding Joy and Gratitude in Everyday Life
• Finding Peace Over Perfection
• Resting in Christ’s Sufficiency
• A Homemaker’s Eternal Impact

Faithful Women in Every Season

Encouragement for Every Stage of Life

God has a purpose for every season of a woman’s life. Whether single, married, raising children, caring for aging parents, enjoying the empty-nest years, or investing in grandchildren, He calls us to faithful obedience and intentional discipleship.

Together we’ll consider what it means to live faithfully, encourage one another, and leave a legacy that points others to Christ.

Sample sessions may include:

• A God-Ordained Calling
• The Beauty of Mentorship and Discipleship
• Hospitality and Gospel Influence
• Encouraging the Next Generation
• Means of Grace to Grow in Godliness

Walking in Wisdom

Living Faithfully in a Distracting World

We live in a noisy world that constantly competes for our attention. Through Scripture and practical encouragement, women will be challenged to pursue biblical wisdom, redeem the time, and fix their eyes on Christ.

Sample sessions may include:

• The Fear of the Lord Is the Beginning of Wisdom
• Redeeming the Time in Distracting Days
• Living Faithfully in Busy Seasons
• Walking Wisely Until We See Him

Additional Session Topics:

• Prayer and Dependence on God
• Biblical Hospitality
