Sandra Stanford
Passionate for God
Passionate to Reveal His Heart
Sandra was raised in a church attending family but didn’t really understand salvation until she was 23 years old. It was then, at the invitation of a pastor, she asked Jesus into her heart and fell in love with Him. She says “He swept me off my feet and the romance continues to this day!”
Her unique storytelling style keeps audiences captivated. She is a humorous teacher and is passionate about teaching the Word of God while bringing it “alive” for the listener.
From her personal experiences, and through teaching and counseling women since 1990, Sandra has gained a deep understanding of women’s issues -- learning to wait on God for the fulfillment of dreams; the pain of suffering several miscarriages; the pain of betrayal. Yet, she also understands the joy of adoption and holding a baby of her own, to the joy of walking in forgiveness, true healing, and full restoration. Sandra is a woman of genuine caring and deep understanding. She and her husband, David, have been married since 1988 and reside in Titusville, Florida. They have two teenagers, Anna Beth and Jonathan.
| "I am called to teach the Word of God. I burn inside to minister through teaching the Word and interacting with women. I wouldn’t be fulfilled unless I live this call on my life. I am driven to teach and to serve, and I love it!: ~ Sandra |

Who You Are
Do you often wonder, “How does God see me?” When you look in the mirror, who do you see? In this presentation, Sandra gives you insight into how God sees you and how He desires to transform you through looking intently into the mirror of His Word. You will leave with a new understanding of yourself and a greater appreciation of how much God loves you. (45 minutes)
Love Your Enemies
Do you know who your enemies are? They aren’t always who you think. Sandra’s teaching on “Loving Your Enemies” will give you a greater understanding of how God wants you to respond to them. You will be challenged to look at others through God's eyes of love, and to let your enemies bring out the best in you, not the worst. (45 minutes)
Encountering Jesus
The “woman at the well” knew painful rejection—haven’t we all? How are you dealing with your pain? Has rejection caused you to beat yourself up over past and current circumstances? Do you wonder if you will ever be able to accept yourself, and especially, do you wonder if God will accept you? Sandra takes you on a journey back to the place where Jesus met the “woman at the well.” She will show you how a one-on-one encounter with Jesus can bring the necessary healing we all need from rejection and shame. (1 hour)
Love Yourself
Do you struggle to forgive yourself for the mistakes you’ve made? It’s time to get over it! In this teaching focused on the woman caught in the sin of adultery, Sandra shares about forgiveness and the compassion of Jesus. Learn how Jesus “meets” us in the dirt and sets us free from our accusers just as He did for this woman. (45 minutes)
God Will Turn Your Defeats into His Victories!
Do you ever wonder if the mistakes you’ve made really will turn out for good? Walk with Sandra through a story in Joshua which clearly demonstrates a God who delights in taking our defeats and creating victories for His glory. You will be equipped to live a life of victory as you choose to move past feelings of defeat. (45 minutes)
The God Who Sees Me
Have you ever felt invisible to God? Maybe you think He’s forgotten all about you or perhaps you feel put on the shelf, unable to be used by God because of choices you’ve made in the past. Take heart as Sandra journeys through 3 different stories in the Bible to encourage you. God is fully aware of you—and loves you—and no matter the choices you have made, you are forgiven. He is ready to use you for His kingdom! Are you willing to trust Him? (1 hour)
Does It Matter If I Pray?
Do you ever feel as if your prayers are just words that have no meaning? Does prayer really make a difference in the course of our everyday lives? These questions and more are answered through this teaching as Sandra weaves Scripture and stories from history to show you that prayer, and essentially your prayers, do make a difference. (45 minutes)
Devoted to God
Jeremiah says God is looking for that one to be devoted to Him. Where is he? God asks and our response should be, “Here I am!” This adventure begins in Jeremiah and ends in Psalms where it tells us to “Taste and see the Lord is good”. Sandra has a special 45 minute presentation and visuals to bring home the point that we can taste of God and when we do, we are even more convinced of how very good He is.
Holy Ground: Moses
Take a look at the life of Moses from his birth to his encounter with God in the burning bush. See how the same “I Am” who was with Moses, continues to be with us today. Let Him show you how the ground on which you now stand is holy ground because He is with you.
