Speaking Topics

Unwrapping Your Hidden Gifts

Young moms are forced to fulfill so many unfamiliar roles. Nurse, maid, referee, short order cook, and bus driver, just to name a few. In the midst of so many expectations it’s easy for us to neglect our gifts and passions—the things that give our lives purpose. In this hilarious, drama-infused talk, Sara acts out the roles that so many of us play in our daily lives and helps young moms hone in on their unique gifts and abilities. Through open discussion and creative exercises, young moms will be exposed to new ideas on how to use their gifts to impact others as well as to renew their hearts.

Keep Your Eyes on the Road

In our chaotic world today, perseverance is not an option. We are all striving for something, but where are we focusing our energy and passion? Through dynamic (or should we say dramatic) storytelling, Sara reveals what happened when she took her eyes off the road and crashed—literally crashed—into an unsuspecting driver. Using this story as a basis, Sara encourages people to focus their eyes on God rather than on the distractions that threaten to force them into unexpected detours.

Adventures in Suburbia

Sometimes being a stay-at-home mom can feel a lot like you’re stuck in that horribly frustrating movie, Groundhog Day. You wake up (too early). You make breakfast. You get the kids dressed. You play. You clean. You try to clean while playing. (It doesn’t work.) You make lunch. You put the kids down for a nap and come downstairs only to find you have to clean again. You make dinner….

Stop the cycle! Fed up with the mundane, Sara discovered ways to bring adventure into the everyday life of her family. Be encouraged with ideas for creative play, fun and cheap outings, and ways to engage with other moms who can join you on your quest for adventure.
