Suzie's Speaking Topics:

• Pushing Past Your Past -- to be the mom (or woman) you want to be (can be parenting or tailored to all women) How to forgive. How to forget, but also to remember your past so that the legacy isn't passed down to the next generation. Suzie shares her personal testimony, as well as tangible steps to push past your past and become the mom or person you were always intended to be.

• Why Won't My Teen Talk to Me? - Straight talk from the heart of teens on how to strengthen your relationship with your teen. Five reasons teens don't talk and what you can do about it.

• A Call to Significance - When the crowd looked into the tree, they saw a tax collector and a despised man. Jesus saw a Son of Abraham. Christ has called us to live a life of significance. He has shown us the way. How to respond to that call.

• Our Looking Glass Selves - Not understanding who you are to God is one of the key reasons many run from intimacy with God. We often see ourselves through circumstances, our past or through words or actions of others. Discover the amazing truth about how God views you!

• T-Times - The Three T's -- Temptation, Trials and Trespasses - Yuk! Who needs them? No one wants to go through tough times, but we often discover who we are through the hard times. How to find your purpose and your way to God when hard times hit.

• Whazzup with Today's Youth Culture? (parenting, youth workers, organizations that work with youth) - The scoop on today's youth culture and how that affects teens today. How to balance the cultural message with truth that will help teens navigate through today's tricky world of conflicting messages.

• Want to Help Your Teen Find God? - Discover what you can do to help your teen run after God--or push a teen away from his faith and family. Let God impact your teen through the most influential person in your life--you!

• I Get To! (for teens, churches, parents, youthworkers) - It's the one thing that matters most. It's the one thing we can all do -- but 97% of Christians don't do. It's the one thing that can affect you for a lifetime. Suzie takes the pressure off of sharing your faith, daring you take the plunge and become a seed-sower and watch God work.

• Unplugged! - Has your prayer life been reduced to a quickie prayer over tacos or is it a life line that you throw out when you don't know where else to turn? Learn why we don't pray and how prayer can become your secret place where you meet with God. Ditching distractions & tuning into God.

• Other Topics - If you have a topic or theme for parents, youth or youthworkers, let me know and I'll pray as we work together to find the right topic for your conference and the people attending.

Suzie Says:

Though my audience might laugh (and cry), my giftedness is being real about faith as it pertains to life.

Gospel Presentation?

Yes, in a seeker friendly fashion but with truth and honesty. I consider myself a ministry speaker, not a presentation or motivational speaker. I speak from a standpoint of faith in Jesus Christ and what he can do in a life.

Why Suzie Speaks:

I recently took a couple of months off to focus on my writing and marketing a book. As I stepped back behind the podium this month, I felt at home. It's become very much an avenue of ministry for me, a calling.

Suzie's Goal:

To rock their world or at least, gently probe and comfort and enlighten so that they walk away seeing things through a perspective of faith. I want people to be able to hope and believe in what God can do.
