You Pick the Topic!

Some of my best topics have come from collaborating with women's ministry leaders or event coordinators and prayerfully considering what their groups need.

Every group of women has unique needs, and I love tailoring messages to meet them right where they are. As an international speaker, author, professor, and Bible teacher with a PhD in Bible Exposition, I bring both biblical depth and practical application to each talk. I enjoy tackling new topics that align with the theme God has placed on your heart—whether for a single message or a multi-session event.

To serve your group well, I also offer a conference notebook, customized graphics, and a pre-event survey to ensure the messages meet women right where they need ministry. Above all, my heart is to see women encounter God’s Word in life-changing ways and leave encouraged, equipped, and refreshed in Him.

Thick Skin, Soft Heart: Living with Grace in a Wounded World

Based on Denise's new book to be published in 2026, Thick Skin, Soft Heart invites women to discover how to stand strong without growing hard, and to love deeply without being crushed.

We live in a culture where offenses come quickly and wounds run deep. It’s easy to either toughen up and shut people out or grow weary from carrying every hurt. But God calls us to something better—strength without hardness, tenderness without fragility.

Talks:

1) When Grace Meets Grit: Standing Strong Without Growing Hard
2) Unoffendable: Guarding Your Heart Without Building Walls
3) Rooted and Radiant: Living Whole in a Fractured World

Make Up Your Mind: Reset Your Mindset, Transform Your Life

Based on Denise's book Make Up Your Mind and the Study Guide, this series of talks builds step by step, helping women identify how mindsets are formed and how to embrace lasting renewal.

Takeaways:

• Recognize the power of mindset and how it shapes every area of life.
• Renew your thinking with biblical truth that dismantles lies and strongholds.
• Reflect Christ by cultivating a transformed mind that leads to lasting change and freedom.

Our thoughts shape the course of our lives, but too often they are dominated by fear, lies, or negativity. God’s Word calls us to renew our minds and align our thinking with His truth. In this message, women will learn how to reset their mindset, recognize and replace toxic thought patterns to embrace freedom, peace, and transformation.

Talks:
#1: Make Up Your Mind: Unlocking Your Mindset and Transforming Your Life
#2: Reset Your Mindset: Overcoming Negative Mindsets through God’s Word
#3: Make Up Your Mind: Having the Mind of Christ

Shame Off You!

Based off her book, Shame Off You, Denise leads us through the many different shades of shame in all of our lives and approaches the removal of shame through a three-pronged biblical approach.

When sin entered the world, shame did, too. But we don't have to stay in a shame-ridden culture. Ever feel embarrassed? Shame. (Obvious). Ever feel like your voice does not matter? Shame. (Not so obvious). Ever feel judged for your personal choices? Shame. How about finances? Feel judged for what you have? Shame. And your appearance? Think you are not enough? Shame. Or maybe it was a traumatic event that turned your life upside down and filled you with shame.

This topic can be a full weekend, 1-day, half-day or 1 talk. Sample sessions:

#1: Hiding Shame Does Not Heal It

#2: Navigating Conviction versus Condemnation

#3: Getting Off the Cycle of Shame

Hope Reinvented: Finding Hope in Life's Hard Places

Based on my book, "Hope Reinvented," this conference shows us how to hope again in Christ. Hope is not wishful thinking—it is the anchor that keeps us steady in life’s storms. We can find our hope shaken by disappointment, unmet expectations, or seasons of waiting. But Hope Reinvented invites women to rediscover biblical hope that is unshakable because it is rooted in Christ.

Life’s disappointments and desert seasons can leave us weary and questioning where to place our hope. Hope can feel illusive, even impossible. Maybe it is because our concept of hope needs to be reinvented. Whether it is health or behavioral challenges or painful life situations, Hope Reinvented: Finding Hope in Life's Hard Places is a renewed outlook on the hope we find in the funniest places. Come discover a place of deep hope despite it all. Full weekend, 1-day or 1-talk.

1) Hope Reinvented: Redefining our Hope
2) Hope Reinvented: Facing Disillusionment
3) Hope Reinvented: Thriving in the Desert

Joy Rising: Trading Burdens for Breakthrough

Joy is not just a hope. It is a reality in Christ. But many obstacles can steal our joy. Life can weigh us down with responsibilities, disappointments, and hidden hurts. Yet Christ calls us to lay down our burdens and rise into joy that nothing can steal.

Joy Rising is a powerful invitation for women to release what hinders and embrace the freedom found in surrender to God. Through honest reflection, biblical truth, and practical steps, this conference leads women to:

Release the burdens that drain their strength.
Trust God more deeply in every season.
Walk in the breakthrough of lasting joy that only He provides.
Attendees will leave refreshed, equipped, and renewed—ready to rise with joy no matter the challenges they face.

Talks:
#1: Joy Comes When We Surrender Our Burdens
#2: Joy Comes When We Give Our Trust to God

Decluttered: Realign, Redefine, and Redesign Your Life

Life often feels overwhelming—our schedules, commitments, and even our thoughts can become cluttered with things that drain us and distract us from God’s best. When we carry too much, our hearts and minds grow weary, and we lose focus on what truly matters. But God invites us to clear the noise and live with renewed purpose.

Decluttered equips women to evaluate what fills their lives, let go of what hinders, and embrace what leads to freedom and joy in Christ. Through biblical teaching and practical steps, participants will:

• Realign priorities with God’s Word and His purposes.
• Redefine success and identity according to God’s truth, not cultural pressure.
• Redesign daily life to reflect balance, peace, and intentional living.

Talks:

#1: Decluttering Your Mind: Realigning Your Mindset
#2: Decluttering Your Calendar: Redefining Your Boundaries
#3: Decluttering Your Vision: Redesigning Your Life
#4: Decluttering Your Faith: Embracing God’s Plan for You

Unshakable Faith—Discovering Our Significance in Christ

In a world that constantly shifts and assigns worth based on performance, appearance, or approval, Unshakable Faith is a conference that anchors us back to our foundation in Christ. Unshakable hope doesn’t always feel unshakable. but God's Word promises that when we can go through hardship and still not be shaken in Christ.

Talks:

#1: Fearless in Him: Releasing the Fear of Man and Embracing the Fear of God
#2: Made for More: Discovering What God Says About Your Significance
#3: Rooted in Christ: Embracing Our True Identity
#4: Anchored in Truth — Living with Courage and Confidence

Refreshed: Renewed, Restored, and Revived in Christ

Life’s demands can leave us weary, drained, and feeling like joy is out of reach. Yet God promises that His presence brings renewal, even when our circumstances haven’t changed. We don’t have to have it all together to experience joy—Christ offers a Spirit-filled, abundant life to all who come to Him.

Refreshed is a 4-part series that shows women how to restore what has grown dry and weary. Together we will explore how to refresh our perspective, emotions, souls, and minds, discovering again the joy that only Christ can give.

#1: Refresh Your Perspective: Changing Your Outlook
#2: Refresh Your Emotions: Renewing Your Mind
#3: Refresh Your Soul: Walking in the Spirit
#4: Make Up Your Mind: Having the Mind of Christ”

Becoming Women of Purpose

God designed each woman with intentionality, gifting her with unique strengths, passions, and influence. Yet many drift through life without clarity or confidence in their calling. Or the culture tries to limit who we are in Christ. Becoming Women of Purpose helps women rediscover God’s design and embrace a life of meaning and mission.

#1: Women of Purpose — Rewired and Inspired in Your God-Given Purpose
#2: Women for Purpose — Empowered to Move Forward in Your Calling

Restored

Can God restore us in the midst of our gut-wrenching pain? Can He be trusted? Does He love us? Many of us are walking wounded, crushed over and over again as disease, death, discouragement, anxiety, addiction, depression, broken relationships and broken hearts seem to reign in a world that feels like it is spinning madly out of control. The shattered pieces of our lives have left us broken, fragile and hurt. We all need redemption and restoration and we all have to overcome pain from living in a fallen world. Come learn of God’s tender loving restoration in Denise's book, “Shame Off You”. Full weekend, 1-day or 1-talk. Sample sessions:

2) Restored: Finding and Restoring our Stolen Identity

  • “An inspired teacher, Denise shares how God can transform the deepest trauma of your heart into a buoyant, contagious hope.”
    Cheri Gregory
  • “We had the privilege of having Denise speak at our 2018 Restore Women’s conference. Denise is multi-talented; a wonderful writer, singer and inspirational speaker. Her “Shame Off You” message is deep and comes right from her personal experience of dealing with pain and God’s restoration power, which made it very relatable and touched the lives of many women at the conference. Planning a women’s conference requires lots of details from the speaker, to sound, to worship and Denise was so kind always asking if there was something she could help us with to ensure that we had everything we needed for a successful conference.” —Adriana Mendes, Women's Ministry Event Planner, Crossway Christian Church, Nashua, NH.
