This talk guides participants in an important conversation about how their busyness injures their souls and keeps them from experiencing all that God wants to give them. It offers practical guidance and mentoring on spiritual practices that both slow our pace and create space in our overcrowded, cluttered lives. If we slow down, that’s only the first step. This retreat offers a next step: being intentional about our lives enough to make space for God, and what spiritual practices to bring into that space in order to foster a deeper faith.

A look at faith, doubt, and what it means to “live the questions,” this frequently requested talk is especially popular with moms of tweens and teens.

This talk tackles questions like: why are doubts and questions essential for growth? How can we invite people in our care (whether that’s our kids, our small group, even our friends) to wrestle not just with what to think, but how to think? How can we walk with others through seasons of doubt? How can we let go of “supposed to” and embrace mystery? How does embracing mystery deepen our intimacy with God?

Keri’s most popular retreat topic, Breathe has ministered to thousands of moms across the country, inviting them to slow down, simplify, and rest.

 Are you living your life at a sane pace? Or are you hurried, worried, stressed and overwhelmed? Jesus says, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened.” But how, exactly, do we do that? Wouldn’t it be nice to just have a little space to catch your breath, to live in Sabbath Simplicity?

This practical talk (it can also be presented in three parts at a retreat) looks (without judgment or despair!) at the physical, emotional and spiritual damage that a hurried life can cause. Then, it offers very practical tips on to create space for God in a hectic life. Participants will learn what motivates their hurry and over-scheduling, and learn to slow down, breathe deeply, simplify, and rest.

A humorous, relatable, but deep and encouraging keynote for a Christmas event

Planning a holiday event? Whether it’s a Christmas tea, holiday brunch or year-end event, you want a speaker who will engage audiences with laughter and fun, but also remind them about the real meaning of Christmas.

This talk looks at how to cope with the stress we associate with the holidays. Keri talks candidly about the pressures we put on ourselves during the holidays, the perfectionism that keeps us from being fully present. She takes a fresh look at Mary’s conversation with the angel Gabriel, and reminds us to be fully present (rather than focusing on past problems or future to-do lists), then gives some practical tips in keeping the holidays sane and sacred. By being present, we can receive the gift of Christmas present–Jesus himself.
