Hi There! I am blessed that you have stopped by to read more about what I speak on. Here are only a few of my speaking topics. It would be an honor to speak at your women’s event. While the focus of my speaking experience has tended to deal with Christian growth, marriage, and intimacy with God I’d love to discuss your particular conference to tailor a talk that fits your needs perfectly. Simply fill out the speaking request form at the bottom of the page and I will be in touch directly. I look forward to speaking with you!

TRUST

“Blessed is the woman who trusts in the Lord, and whose trust is the Lord.” Jeremiah 17:7

In every woman’s life, unwelcomed disappointments and broken promises come. What follows? A defensive heart and an elusive trust. In this talk, Jodi gives insight into how Christ rebuilds the foundation of faith, enabling women to find wholeness, healing, and healthy relationships with Christ at the center. She shares her journey of learning to believe God and seeing that trust starts and ends at the cross.

TRUSTING GOD IN THE JOURNEY AND FOR THE OUTCOME 

“Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9b (NLT)

 Many of us stand at the water’s edge, contemplating… do I obey God’s call to move forward? Or, do I run back to my Egypt? In this talk, Jodi will take women on a journey of leaving their past behind to cross their Jordan. Women will leave remembering that each stone from the deepwater is where freedom in Christ is found. By this, the life God intends for each of us is found. 

ENHANCING YOUR MARRIAGE 

“Her husband can trust her, and she will greatly enrich his life.

She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life.” Proverbs 31:11-12 (NLT)

Regardless of what condition your marriage is in, Jodi will share some helpful insights and practical ways to enhance what you vowed to God on your wedding day. Jodi and her husband have navigated over 30 years of marriage with lots of bumps and bruises. But, with God’s intervention, they have gotten better—all while still learning to love one another through the good, bad, and ugly times. Note: This talk is excellent for both breakout sessions and one or more keynote sessions.

Chris and Jodi speak at marriage conferences, and one of their favorite themes to share is:

“Marriage Enrichment Retreat”

“Catch the foxes for us, the little foxes that are ruining the vineyards, while our vineyards are in blossom.”

Song of Solomon 2:15 (NASB)

Grandma said, “A stitch in time saves nine.” Another person said, “An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure.” Marriage is something that many people take for granted…until they no longer can. Often, by the time a couple asks for help with their marriage, it is in a full-blown crisis. What if there was a better way? In this transparent, informative, and encouraging talk, Chris and Jodi help couples identify potential danger points in marriage before they flare-up. Based on the biblical instructions in the Song of Solomon, and well-illustrated by stories from more than thirty years of marriage, Chris and Jodi encourage other couples to guard against the dangers of “little foxes” by pruning, nurturing, and guarding “the vine” of marriage.
