Writing:
Chains Falling is a Bible Study I wrote after studying and teaching the book of Hosea. You can read about the adventure of how this book came to be here and here.
I'm beginning to hear some of the feedback of how God has used it; humbling and overwhelming and totally worth it.

I would love to teach at your event. Please contact me for more information or for a list of possible teaching topics.
2013
In November I taught with a college friend at another college friend's church in Yukon. The ladies at Covenant Community Church rolled out the red carpet as we celebrated Home for the Holidays. My friend shared about some beautiful easy and budget-friendly Christmas decorations. Her blog is here. She is truly so very talented! I was able to teach my Mary lesson on being a Treasurer at Christmas and not just a Wonderer.
In October I was able to share at the Fallelujah Celebration at FBC Davenport. This event blessed me so much. I got to share one of my favorite lessons I've ever learned about what it really means to Praise. These women encouraged me so much, and reminded me of my early ministry days at a time when God knew how much I needed it. I loved them! {Wish I had pictures of this lovely event}....
In April I was privileged to teach a Breakout session at the Oklahoma Ladies' Retreat. I brought a lesson about our Bitter Naomi and Sweet Ruth, and how to see God's enduring love in the middle of disappointment. It was a monumental blessing for me, so encouraging and amazing.....the whole weekend was fantastic.
We hosted our second annual IBC Ladies Retreat at Falls Creek in January. The theme this year was Beautifully Courageous. I was honored to teach about Daniel, Esther, and the challenge of being counter-cultural instead of anti-cultural. We had 80 women in attendance and had a wonderfully amazing time!
2011 - 2012
It's been such an honor for me to be able to teach at Immanuel, the church where I minister; both of these events were such a blessing to me.

I’ve
also written and taught a 20 week series on Biblical Femininity called “Being Girl” covering the lives of the
women in Jesus’ heritage (see Mary) as
well as other issues including submission,
marriage, women in church leadership, bitterness, contentment. This series
could easily be adapted for shorter sessions or retreats. I’m currently working
on writing How Beautiful into
Bible Study format as well as studying and writing lessons through the books of
1 and 2 Corinthians. You can see other topics close to my heart here on my blog. On the main page, scroll to the very bottom and click on “Bible Study” in the list
of labels.
Please contact me for any additional details and information about
any of these topics. I love to study and would be happy to write and teach a
lesson that fits your event.
“His divine power has
given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of Him who called us
by His own glory and goodness.”
2 Peter 1:3
