Accepting God’s call as a Stephen Minister, Lisa stepped out in faith beyond her shame of childhood abuse, family addiction, and a debilitating mental health diagnosis. In her talks, she wants to empower others to embrace victory through Jesus as they increase their trust, hope, and faith. Lisa aims to inspire others to live with joy and in uncompromising peace.

Lisa writes and speaks to the truth of what the audience feels. She shares her story of battling stigma, fear, and isolation with a strong passion. Her insight and clarity on these subjects foster hope and healing in the kingdom community. 

Within the church family is a hidden face or shattered heart, afraid to share their truth for fear of what Christians might think or say. Let’s change the stigma and rewrite the rules together.

Lisa currently resides in Florida, where she enjoys life as a freelance writer, blogger, mental health speaker, and aspiring author; most of all, she is a wife, mother, and grandmother. She enjoys her walks alongside others in their time of need. She is a beach enthusiast and enjoys hiking, visiting museums, and trying new food.

Speaking Topics

“I Still Believe-Pressing Into Faith When Faith is Shaken” – Taking what we experience in life and putting it up against the Word of God creates unending education in grace, truth, hope, joy, and love. The Word handed us facts- ‘in this life you will experience trials.” This message overflows with the peace and confidence that believers struggle to experience in today’s society.

“Aftermath of Pain” – Mental health awareness has become a necessary topic. Finally, after decades, walls are being torn down, and believers are discussing the intricate workings of the mind. Science and God have been speaking the same language on mind management; Lisa uses scripture highlights and stories to show us how God has always been protective of the mind. She discusses ways to proactively manage our mindset by relying on the Lord to walk us through. Hear a paralyzing experience of fear and how God used his Word to remove the chains and open the blinds to light once again.

“Those Left Behind” – Parenting for a second time opened Lisa’s eyes to a more profound relationship, trust, and belief in the Almighty. Whether you are a parent or not, and no matter your age, a deep-seated fear of failure holds us back. Lisa hopes to unpack that fear and open your mind to the possibility of living fearlessly to follow God through the doors He patiently holds open. Will you trust His plan when you can’t see the blueprint?

“The Mark of a Believer” – History shows us an unrelenting pursuit of meaning, purpose, and the search for the secret of a long and happy life. Is it the same for everybody? Is there a single word or way? Did the great men and women of the Bible teach us what we need to know? Let’s take a look and dive into the lives of Paul, Joseph, and Ruth. What do they have in common? What is one attribute they all shared? This discussion will reveal the secret.

I'm someone who has always had a deep passion for literature and writing. From a young age, I've been captivated by the power of words and the way they can transport us to different worlds, open our minds to new ideas, and connect us with people and experiences that are distant from our own. Whether it's immersing myself in a classic novel, jotting down my thoughts in a journal, or crafting my own creative stories, writing and literature have always been an essential part of my life. I'm excited to continue exploring this rich and rewarding field, and to share my thoughts and insights with others who share my love for all things literary.
