Speaking Topics

Joanne's presentations are appropriate for the following categories and events: Church Events Christmas Outreach Events Inspirational Pastors' Wives Events Women's Retreats / Conferences / Events University / College Events

I believe my speaking ministry is a gift from God. It is my prayer that Psalm 19:14 be true in my life.

I delight in all types of women's speaking events - conferences, retreats, keynotes and seminars. These keynotes are presented with Scripture, in a humorous, storytelling style which include personal, inspirational and Biblical stories. It is my prayer that attendees will leave a speaking event equipped with practical Biblical solutions for her daily problems. In the past 30 years, it has been my privilege and blessing to help thousands of women realize God's total love, acceptance and forgiveness through Christ.

Each presentation will be customized to fit your group and theme event.
