Mom's Night Out (evening event)/Mom's Time Out (daytime event)

You Deserve a Break Today Getaway

This overnight event is designed especially for busy moms who find it difficult to get away for "alone time” in the bathroom, much less for a typical weekend-long retreat. Lisa will tailor this mom-friendly getaway to fit your group's specific needs. Perhaps you'd like to start with a Mom's Night Out format to kick off the event followed by a practical, inspirational session the following day. Or maybe you'd prefer two or even three regular sessions. You decide! Your moms will be energized, encouraged, inspired, and grateful to you for designing this event just for them. And they'll be home the next afternoon in time to cheer for little Johnny in his soccer game!

I Have a Dream…Don't I???

Lisa shares her own story of how an unfulfilled dream led to a pivotal moment in her life—a moment that was the first step toward learning true contentment, especially in the seasons of mothering. This transformational experience provided clear perspective that has inspired and informed every part of Lisa's life---personally, spiritually, and professionally. For anyone who has ever struggled with the question, "What am I supposed to be doing?”, I Have a Dream…Don't I??? is a compass that guides the listener straight into the harbor of contentment, purpose, and peace.

A King's and a Mother's Prayer—Hope for the Overwhelmed

In the middle of "those” days—apple juice dripping from the couch, siblings arguing over everything including the color of water, a teenager whose goal is to choose the opposite of anything deemed socially or parentally acceptable —have you ever wanted to scream, "HELP---I'm NOT cut out for this!” Well, guess what? One of the wisest people to ever live, a king no less, experienced that same overwhelming feeling of desperation. His ancient prayer for HELP can bring us comfort, reassurance, and hope today as we fulfill a role that rivals that of a king.

What Moms Need—the Real Scoop

As moms, we tend to minimize our own needs, all the while running ourselves ragged to meet everyone else's. Lisa gives moms permission, and even ORDERS, to TCM—take care of Mom! In this honest look at the very real needs of moms, Lisa delivers a mom-friendly motivator for making sure the one who stirs at the stove isn't left sitting on the back burner.

Consider the Chocolate Donut

Perspective is the key to enthusiasm---and some days SURVIVAL---in mothering. In this hilarious presentation, Lisa adjusts the lenses on our mothering spectacles so that we see more clearly who we are, what we're worth, and how we can embrace each day as the treasure it is. This message will rejuvenate, inspire, encourage and motivate moms in this rewarding and challenging season of life.

Bubble Bath for the Soul—The Irresistible Invitation

Remember the old TV commercial where the weary, frazzled woman begs, "Calgon, take me away!” and then sinks down into a warm, luxurious, relaxing bath. The Irresistible Invitation is like a Calgon bath…for the soul. Motherhood is downright exhausting. Between the feeding, the taxiing, the washing, the doctoring, the counseling, the tutoring, there is little time for rest. Even when physical rest remains as elusive as your son's lost retainer, there is a deeper rest that transcends the ability to fall into a bubbly bathtub. Lisa shares the key to entering into this way of inner peace.

Three Cheers for Mom

One of Lisa's most requested presentations, Three Cheers for Mom is a high-potency booster shot for weary moms. Lisa shares three key realities to help each mom become her own best cheerleader on those days when she feels about as significant as the lint she just scraped off the dryer vent. Mothers will leave re-energized, reassured of their significance and value, and ready to run home and give hugs all around.

Detour Ahead

A well-known contemporary song philosophically asserts, "Life is a highway…” Like the highways that move us toward our daily destinations, our journeys are often re-routed with the dreaded Detour Ahead signs, forcing us from the main thoroughfare and onto twists and turns that were not on our original itinerary. We are faced with detours every day—from the toddler's croup that forced a cancellation of the big birthday party to the over-processed highlights that left us looking like a skunk just before a job interview to the urgent call from the doctor asking that we come in immediately. Lisa shares honestly from her own life, dispensing priceless wisdom for negotiating and even thriving when those inevitable Detour Ahead signs pop up.

Where's My Bumper Sticker?

Even before our precious little ones are placed in our arms, we begin dreaming of how their lives will play out. These children of ours will be perfectly healthy, exceptionally intelligent, socially brilliant, meriting numerous bragging mom "Honor Roll” bumper stickers, with no major roadblocks along the journey to adulthood. What happens when we discover that things may not turn out as we'd dreamed? Lisa shares from her heart about her own encounter with the pain of watching a child struggle to "do” school. Where's My Bumper Sticker? is a message of understanding and hope for anyone caring for a child with learning differences or any other mental or physical impairment that makes learning a challenge such as ADHD, autism, processing disorders or mental illness.

**I Have a Dream…Don't I?, Detour Ahead, Where's My Bumper Sticker and The Irresistible Invitation can also be tailored to a General Audience.

Doin' What We're Made 2 Do: Teaching Kids About Worship

The essence of worship is simply our responding to God's love for us by loving Him back. In this enlightening presentation perfect for MOPS groups, parents, educators, worship leaders—anyone involved in the spiritual formation of children— Lisa shares how to teach kids about worship in language they can understand. Based on the workbook Doin' What We're Made 2 Do—Teaching Kids About Worship (written by Lisa and two colleagues), this presentation explores three foundational questions from a kids' perspective—Who is God? Why do we worship Him? How do we worship Him? Lisa also shares fresh, exciting music from her album Doin' What We're Made 2 Do—Worship for Kids, including fun audience participation songs. When booking Lisa for this talk, be sure to ask about having your group's children perform a special song for the closing—adorable!

Be All YOU Can Be

Cars, clothes, kids, houses, smarts, looks, accomplishments, talents…the list goes on and on. Every day, often subconsciously, we compare ourselves to others in almost every area of our lives and expect of ourselves the impossible standard called perfection. Let's be honest. There's been only one perfect human being to ever walk the earth…your husband's mother. Lisa challenges us to set aside the notion of perfection--to squash the "comparison complex” that paralyzes us and hinders us from living our own best lives. Lisa's key principles for breaking out of this vicious cycle will set you free to really LIVE the moments of your life—to Be All YOU Can Be.

Missing Mama's Hugs

In this heart-tugging message, Lisa shares transparently about her own grief and loss. Having lost her mom to cancer at the age of eighteen, Lisa says, "I know firsthand there's no touch like a mom's touch, no hug like a mom's hug, and no kiss like a mom's kiss.” This reality has been the motivation behind Lisa's strong desire to encourage moms. Missing Mama's Hugs is a tribute to Lisa's own mom as well as an intimate look at moving through and beyond grief and embracing the awesomeness of one's own role as a mom.

Can You Hear Me Now?

All Grown Up…and Little

One of the great paradoxes of a life with God is that as we grow in maturity, we are also called to be like children—in a sense, to be little. Amidst the bills, the career, the complicated relationships, the parenting—all those responsibilities grown-ups carry—what does it look like to be "little”? In this message inspired by the writings of St. Therese of Lisieux, Lisa explores the freeing truth wrapped up in the words of Jesus, "Whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it at all.” Luke 18:17

Hurry Up and Wait

We are a people who HATE to wait. Technology continuously caters to our impatience by delivering faster gadgets that enable us to "do” more in less time. How frustrating then to learn that God has no intention of catering to our need to have it right NOW, just the way we want it. While we see waiting as an unproductive time filled with finger-tapping and magazine-flipping, God sees waiting as a valuable process, a necessary one. Lisa explores the concepts of "waiting” and "soaring” as found in Isaiah 40:31 in this powerful message for anyone who has ever been tired of waiting.

One Thing

In a culture that values noise over solitude, productivity over process, and accolades over integrity, the Bible cuts right to the heart of what really matters—the "one thing” that Jesus speaks of. When our lives become centered around that "one thing,” we gain peace and perspective. You will be inspired to new depths in Christ as Lisa shares the key to life at its fullest.

I Have a Dream…Don't I???

Out of the God-Box

A.W. Tozer said, "Left to ourselves we tend immediately to reduce God to manageable terms.” Based on Tozer's profound work entitled Knowledge of the Holy, this retreat is all about ripping open the box that contains our small and manageable ideas about God. Through studying the attributes of God, we establish a foundation of truth for our faith experience. We find encouragement and hope in One who is both near (imminent) and far away (transcendent). The Psalmist said, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” As we learn who God is, the many aspects of His character, we cannot help but stand awe-struck…and this is where wisdom begins.

City Slickers Spirituality—Finding That One Thing

Richard Foster says, "Contemplative prayer is a loving attentiveness to God.” This retreat explores what it means to live each day in loving attentiveness to God—to cultivate a contemplative life. Spiritual exercises and practical insight make this a life-transforming retreat for anyone seeking God, for anyone who desires "one thing” above all else.

Christmas In a Different Light

Why is it that the very season meant to yield happiness and smiles all around is often surrounded by feelings of dread, disappointment and even depression? Lisa brings hope, balance and renewed enthusiasm for the holidays by helping us view Christmas in a Different Light. When we focus on the truth of the Christmas message, it becomes possible to celebrate the essence of Christmas throughout the year.

Who Broke Baby Jesus' Head? (and other sounds of Christmas)

What better way to celebrate the season than with music and laughter culminating in a powerful message of God's love extended to each of us in the birth of Christ. From hilarious original songs, stories, and the ever-popular "Top Ten Gifts That Never Made it to the Shelves” to classic sing-along holiday fare, this memorable event spreads the cheer of the season while imparting a timeless message to last through the year.

I'd Like to Exchange This, Please

"No Exchanges—All Sales Final”---no one wants to be greeted by these words when they've discovered the shoes hurt, chartreuse is not for everyone, or the two-in-one hot dog maker/smoothie bar is way overrated. During this season of gift giving, there are bound to be some would-be exchanges in the works. In this timely presentation, Lisa lets us in on the greatest exchange of them all!

Deck the Halls and Unplug the Smoke Alarm

With all the stress of the holidays threatening to suck the joy out of the season, Lisa helps us get a grip so that we emerge in January with our sanity, our families intact AND a sleighful of holiday memories to treasure. This talk can be tailored for any audience, religious or secular.
