Speaking

Get Real
Are you tired of the perception that if we are Christians our lives will somehow be perfect? Do you think you’ll be genuinely happy when you get that perfect new house, car, spouse, whatever? This presentation takes an honest and often humorous look at life as Jill dispels some of the myths of the “perfect” life! She will inspire and encourage your audience to get real with themselves, get real with others, and get real with God by taking a journey that explores the truth that the more deeply we realize our thirst and disappointments with life the more we realize how desperately we need to pursue God’s living water. Contrary to what the secular world would have us believe, true peace and happiness come through living in authentic community with God, ourselves, and others.

Bless It or Block It!
Jill will explore the idea of letting go of our own agendas to truthfully seek out God’s will and purpose for our lives. Only by seeking His guidance with hearts open to the idea that we might not get what we think we want or need can we truly walk in faith. God calls us to submit to His plan and purpose and honestly lay our lives at His feet, getting our personal wants and desires out of the way. This presentation is all about surrendering to God’s will and learning how to celebrate the “No’s” in life as well as the “Yes’s”!

Butterflies and Faith!
Jill will share how her life was transformed by a little butterfly on a mountain in Colorado. Based on the key verse, “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation,” 2nd Cor. 5:17, this presentation will focus on the ways God’s love and grace can truly transform us from the inside out into beautiful butterflies! She will take a close look at how God sees a butterfly waiting to break free when he looks at a caterpillar, just as He sees the goodness He placed in each of us when He created us, goodness that so often we can’t see in ourselves. Jill will also explore the ways God is trying to reach each of us individually and how we can open our hearts to hear His transforming message of grace.

When Mountains Don’t Move!
A Journey through Infertility and Adoption
In this presentation, Jill shares her personal journey through infertility and adoption. Based on Matthew 17:10, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there, and it will move,’” Jill shares her personal heartache of infertility (and the mountain that wouldn’t move!) and the overwhelming joy of adoption. She will dispel some of the myths about both and help you become more compassionate and understanding regarding these issues. Blessed with two adoptive sons and two step-sons, she’ll make you laugh as she shares what living in a house with all that testosterone is like!

Her honest stories of faith will help you discover that when you fall, Grace Finds Wings.

Jill can also tailor a keynote specifically to your needs. As an added bonus, she usually writes a song to go along with it!
