Speaking Topics
Discovering God’s Plan for Your Ministry
I’ve failed multiple times to seek God’s plan for our ministry. I’ve Googled before going to God. I’ve searched Pinterest before searching His Word. I’m guessing your team has too.
There’s a better way. We can make wise decisions and seek the Lord’s direction by looking at Scripture before turning to the internet.
God’s got a great plan for your ministry! I can help your team make plans with confidence, knowing they have sought the Lord and that they are walking in the direction He has called them. Available as a keynote or workshop.
Women’s Ministry Makeover Training
Is your team struggling to get on the same page? Does the planning for your events and activities lack cohesiveness?
Using Cyndee’s signature 4-Phase makeover process, we’ll assess your ministry’s health and effectiveness, unite your team around a ministry vision that honors God, create a solid ministry plan that focuses on your team member’s gifts, launch your renovation plans
without overwhelming your women or your team, and expand the reach of your ministry for God’s glory.
Available virtually or in-person for a 2-day weekend leadership retreat or series of 8-weekly trainings.
Teaching Women How to Study the Bible
Do your women struggle to study the Bible on their own without a pastor or author as their guide? Cyndee simplifies the process of studying God’s Word, using an inductive-style Bible study method (READ). Your team and Bible study teachers will learn how to teach your women to study God’s Word on their own with the Holy Spirit as their guide. Available as a 1 1/2-hour workshop.
Teaching Women to Pray Out Loud
Does your request for a woman to pray out loud yield only a few, if any, volunteers? Using interactive activities and God’s Word, Cyndee will stretch and strengthen the prayer muscles of your team. This practical training based on the ACTS prayer method provides the opportunity for your women to learn how to pray out loud and then replicate this process with their own teams and groups. Available as a 2 ½ hour workshop or multi-session conference or retreat.
Teaching Women to Share Their Faith Stories
Your women have some amazing stories of God’s faithfulness, but they may not know how best to share them in a way that glorifies God. Cyndee provides practical steps for writing and sharing our stories as modeled for us through God’s Word. During this interactive experience, your team will learn how to help women uncover and share their faith stories. Available as a 60 or 90-minute workshop.
Choosing to Lead with Faith and Not Fear
As leaders, we can struggle to lead with confidence and certainty. Cyndee invites your women to unpack the lessons in Scripture that will equip them to walk in faith with strength and courage. Available as a weekend retreat, keynote, or workshop sessions.
Additional Training Topics
