Sharing the Word - Encouraging Women
It is such a joy to be able to teach women the Bible. I am passionate women understand its relevance for today. The Word of God has the power to encourage, heal, transform, protect, and guide. As we study it we are able to gain a deeper understanding of who God is, who we are in His sight, and how He wants us to live.

CJ’s articles have been featured in publications such as The Christian Post, and Solutions Magazine, and she has appeared as a guest on faith-based radio programs.

Message Examples
Are you looking for a speaker for your event?
While I have many different types of presentation for retreats, keynotes for Christmas, Outreach, Leadership Training, MOPS, and conferences it is my heart to design a message that centers on the specific theme for your event. As a writer, I love to develop new messages around your Bible verse and theme. If you are looking for something new and personal to your group, please let me know.
Below are some examples of previous presentations based on my books and on messages developed for specific groups.
Expedition Life!
Life is an adventure!
Our journey with the Lord is full of just in times, unexpected blessings, miraculous moments, trials by fire, and tests of character. Thru the highs and lows, it is his presence, purpose, peace, and power that sustains and encourages us. Because He is God of our hills, valleys, deserts, and mountains we can be sure no matter what comes our way in life we can hope, endure, persevere and thrive!
No matter where you are in your journey, the sessions in this retreat will help you draw closer to the Lord and each other.
Session One: Mountain Top Moments
Session Two: The Other Side of the Valley
Session Three: Wondering in the Wilderness
Session Three: Exhibition Life – Tools to Summit
Stronger
Are you worn out, freaked out, stress out or burned out? If so, you are NOT alone. At some point, we all "hit the wall". After all, our culture believes busy is better! Our fast-paced lives rob us of the peace we need to rest and restore. Our bodies become tired, our nerves frazzled, and our souls burdened. We end up living less than what God intended lives. After hitting my own wall, I learned the importance of soul care, and how when practiced, we are able to live an inspiring life. Adapted from CJ and Pam's book Stronger.
Session One - Busy, Weary, Weak
Session Two - Motion Sickness
Session Three - Overcoming Heart Dis-Ease
Session Four - Renewed
N-spire
Do you need to be inspired? Do you need a renewed, steadfast spirit? N-spire is a series of messages based on women of the Bible. Deborah, Rehab, Ruth, Sarah, Elizabeth, Mary, and the Woman with the issue of blood. Their stories teach us about courage, hope, risk, and of course faith. Can be presented in a retreat format or pick one woman to focus on for a keynote or workshop.
