Speaking Topics
How to Forgive What You'll Never Forget
The extent of harm and loss that women endure continues to escalate in our society. With a fresh voice, Wendy sheds new light on the age-old topic of forgiveness. Drawing from personal experience, her message helps women to:
- Distinguish between a wound and an offense
- Identify the five instinctual reactions to deep hurt and betrayal as depicted in the Bible
- Understand the role confession plays in healing--and in healing, the ability to forgive
Is Your Savior--Your Healer?
When children incur physical wounds they want parents to make it better without touching the wound. Cleaning grass and dirt out of a skinned knee is a painful process . . . but necessary for proper healing.
Wendy shares a personal story to illustrate how adult children of God share a similar mind-set regarding emotional wounds. Like children, they want really cool band-aids but Jesus is more interested in their boo-boos. Wendy helps women to:
- Understand how they unknowingly hinder their own restoration
- Recognize the everyday circumstances Christ uses to cleanse emotional wounds
- Grant God sovereignty over their pain
Reality Bites: Overcome Heartbreaks and Painful Memories
"I saw Satan fall like lightening from heaven. I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you" (Luke 10:18 NKJV).
In Christ, we have power to overcome a painful past. We can't change history, but we don't have to live trapped underneath painful circumstances or the memories of them. In this teaching, the snake bite represents harmful circumstances: the actual attack of the enemy, and the scorpion sting: painful memories. Women will learn:
- The difference between God's protection and man's protection
- Why Christians often appear unprotected when Scripture says nothing will harm you
- How to step into the fullness of divine protection, and walk in victory regardless of their circumstances
*These sessions can stand alone or be combined for a conference or retreat.
Follow Me!
Jesus said to Peter and Andrew, "Follow Me and I will make you fishers of men." Immediately they left their nets and followed Him. (Matthew 4:19-20 NIV)
Discern between a busy Christian walk and a purposed Christian follow. One leads to exhaustion and burn-out, the other offers light to a dark world. Wendy helps women to:
- Identify what their "net" represents
- Recognize busyness in their own lives and yield to God's agenda for each day
- Understand the priority of living the Beatitudes at home--before going out into the world
- Safeguard against the downfall of a Christian walk that lacks follow
