Rachel Speaks


Years ago I came across a verse in the Old Testament. The words leapt compellingly off the page into my heart. It was as if God whispered, "Remember this." I had no idea why until three years later when I sat down with Lysa TerKeurst of Proverbs 31 Ministries. That verse was Jeremiah 15:19:

"Therefore this is what the LORD says: 'If you repent, I will restore you that you may serve me; if you utter worthy, not worthless, words, you will be my spokesman.'"

It's my privilege to serve Him by sharing His words of encouragement and truth with women around the country. My heart's passion is drawing women closer to Christ and one another. I would love to meet you and your group so if I can ever serve as your speaker, please don't hesitate to contact me or P31 Ministries.

Below are some of my favorite topics - I can also develop a topic that suits your needs.

* To book simply contact my assistant Barb Spencer at speaker@proverbs31.org.

Rachel's SPEAKING TOPICS:



Divine Secrets of the Yahweh Sisterhood
Jesus said there are secrets in the Kingdom of God (Matt. 13:11). These secrets can transform your life into something simply divine! In this always popular message you’ll discover how God forges beauty and strength in our lives, realize how much we need one another, and find keys to living the abundant life. You’ll laugh and you’ll cry as we uncover six divine secrets together.


What a Gal Wants: Finding the Life You Crave
Certain longings seem embedded in a woman’s heart: to have close friends, to be thought of as captivating, to lessen her stress, to deepen her faith, and to do something grand (not to mention to lose 10 lbs!). In this multi-session message, Rachel illuminates our longings using scriptures, statistics, and stories, as she holds our souls up to the light of God’s love and truth. Do you feel unsatisfied? Are you longing for more? Rachel reveals how a gal can find that which her soul truly craves.





On the Catwalk
The young and beautiful grace runways for designers like Gucci, but the 3rd chapter of Colossians reveals God’s got a catwalk for you and I to walk as well. Rachel will take you into God's dressing room for a custom fitting. We'll shed the ill-fitting clothes of perfectionism, envy and competition and put on tailor-made garments of grace, contentment and love. This is your ultimate makeover! Forget becoming America’s Next Top Model ... strap on some cute shoes and follow Rachel as we rise above the world's stage and take our places on God's eternal catwalk.




Breathe Deep
Feeling maxed out? Searching for that sweet spot of stress-free living? In this message you will: Learn to recognize sources of stress and how it affects you. Learn to turn your troubles over to God, and find rest for your soul. Walk away with practical tips for soothing your psyche as you discover how to manage and even embrace the daily stressors you face. The Creator of the air you breathe invites you to press into Him and learn how to breathe deep!


HOLIDAY TOPICS:



What Smart Women Can Learn From Wise Men
Follow the star to the Savior's side and discover the lessons of the Magi. In this inspiring message, we'll learn how to follow hard after God, bring Jesus our gifts, and avoid the "snares of Herod" that confront us today. Our eyes will be opened to the reality that there’s no greater gift God could give us than Himself, and there’s no greater gift we can offer Him in return.




A Cup of Christmas Tea
A tea party is like a spa for the soul. So let’s set aside the tangled tree lights and wrapping ribbon and press into God as we share some tea. In this message Rachel shares her testimony. Excellent for an evangelistic outreach; we’ll sip tea, talk tea, prepare our heart for Christmas and focus on how God steeps us in His grace, and fills our cups overflowing with His love.

"Everyone loved Rachel at our retreat. Young singles to elderly women could apply to their own lives the Scriptural truths she wove through her life experiences. We hope to have her back again!" ~ Barbara Pinkham, North Carolina

"Rachel was wonderful! She connected very well with our audience. We had a wide range of women attend and they all loved her. Our theme was Stepping Out with Jesus. Her Secrets of the Yahweh Sisterhood illustrated ways that we needed to step out and trust Jesus, regardless of our circumstances. She made sure that she was available after she was finished speaking, and seemed to be talking to women on a steady basis. I've heard lots of positive comments from the women who attended. They wanted to know, "How did you find her? We loved her!" ~ Jaci Gordon, Iowa

"We found Rachel to be very relatable and transparent as she shared her message with the women. I found her extremely easy to work with and very adaptable when plans or schedules changed. She also was very warm and friendly to the women that attended and was very gracious and available to talk with the women. She received very positive comments from our evaluation/comments cards and I would invite her back to speak without hesitation. When I dropped her off at the airport I truly felt as if I had made a new friend instead of just an acquaintance." ~ Carolynn Kaetterhenry, Washington State

"Rachel is a natural born encourager and dynamic communicator!"~ Lysa TerKeurst, President of Proverbs 31 Ministries
