Barbara T. Marshall Energetic - Dynamic
Compelling - Passionate
“Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who
is in heaven.”
~Matthew 5:16
Barbara has a passion for helping others grow from merely surviving to thriving in Christ. A survivor of a traumatic divorce with three young children, rejection and abandonment by her church family, a 17-year eating disorder, and the trials and challenges of parenthood, Barbara has personally learned the transforming power of a vibrant and personal relationship with Christ. Though she accepted Christ as her Savior at the age of 14, she had always been taught to be afraid of God, rather than truly embrace His amazing love for her. Years later—broken, alone and desperate for joy—she finally surrendered to the love and grace of Jesus and began claiming His promises for her life. God changed her heart and that of her former husband and ultimately restored their family. They remarried and although rocky at first, today, they enjoy a beautiful, Christ-centered marriage, praising God for their second chance at life together.
A Dutch native, Barbara came to America as a nanny when she was 19. She has been serving as an international Christian speaker since 1993. Known for her energetic, dynamic, compelling and passionate style, Barbara’s messages reach right to the heart and move her listeners to a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ.
She has a unique ability to reach diverse groups of people, having been a popular choice for women’s groups and conferences, Sunday morning services, couples and youth groups. Barbara was a teacher in her local juvenile hall ministry for nine years, and has also trained hundreds of women (and men!) during her twelve year tenure as a Body & Soul Aerobics® instructor. She and her husband, Ken have had the privilege of leading several Bible studies for couples as well as serving as lay marriage counselors at their local church. Ken and “Barbie” live on Lover’s Lane (really!) and enjoy their adult children and grandson.
Barbara’s active speaking ministry centers around Biblical truths that foster a relationship with Christ, by focusing on her life applications of the Bible.

THE BEAUTIFUL WOMEN
Ransomed ▪ Restored ▪ Renewed ▪ Revived ~ Based on Matthew 5:16
Very few women can look into a mirror and see the incredible beauty staring back. Instead, many choose to see wrinkles, blemishes, tiredness and pain rather than the incredible, unique loveliness God has placed in each heart. Barbara draws on the Biblical examples of Rahab, Naomi, Hannah and Deborah to encourage her listeners to look beyond the mirror to see and embrace themselves the way God sees and embraces them. Her messages include Ransomed from a wounded heart; Restored from bitterness to joy; Renewed with confident hope; and Revived to live life in the fullest in the beauty of which God created you.

KODAK MOMENTS
Based on Psalm 139:23
Let’s face it...not every moment is a “Kodak moment”. We all have moments and painful memories we’d rather just forget and certainly not celebrate. But maybe we should be grateful for those “non-Kodak moments” as they draw us closer to God and shape us into a beautiful panoramic image. Sharing her personal battle with a poor body image, longterm eating disorder, divorce and remarriage (to the same man), Barbara’s journey of pain is proof of God’s faithfulness in equipping us to become everything He wants us to be. You will leave encouraged to use your story to light the way for others to Christ.
WHO ARE YOU?
Based on 2 Timothy 3:16
So many of us are living in our weaknesses instead of our strengths. God has created each of us uniquely with a special call designed for our own individual personality. What is your personality?

CONNECTED
Based on John 15:1-15
Are you a contagious Christian?
