One of the greatest blessings of Jaclyn’s life is that she was raised in a loving Christian home. At a young age, Jaclyn committed to following Jesus Christ. God’s grace and faithfulness are the heartbeat of her passion to lead fellow believers in re-discovering that knowing Christ is the way to life EXTRAORDINARY. Below you will find topic ideas for ministry training, teambuilding, women's and girl's events.
MINISTRY TRAINING
WIRED THAT WAY for the Believer
Personality Training for Ministry
“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another as I have loved you…”
We all long to love the way Christ loves, but we must ask, “How Lord? These people are…different.” As we live, work, and attend church with people of different personalities it can be extremely difficult to make relationships work and to truly show Christ’s love. This interactive presentation serves as a tool in learning to understand and recognize our God-given personality as well as the personalities of others. Once we understand how our spouse, family members, and friends are “wired”, we can begin adjusting our expectations and behaviors to immediately see improvements in relationships. As a Certified Personality Trainer, Jaclyn enthusiastically presents her knowledge of the four main personalities: Popular Sanguine, Powerful Choleric, Perfect Melancholy, and Peaceful Phlegmatic. Each audience member will receive their own personality profile and will leave with a clear understanding of how to amplify their strengths while working to overcome their weaknesses all in an effort to truly show God’s love and become more like Christ.
This presentation may be given as a keynote and is excellent as a half or full-day seminar, 1.5 -6 hours. Also perfect for couples and women’s retreats! This topic may be packaged with tools and resources for further study.
WOMEN'S TOPICS
TIME OUT TO L.I.V.E. OUT
Sit in “time out” and rethink how you “LIVE out” your faith.
“Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my anxieties: and see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.”
I know this may be difficult, but I want you to try to imagine that you are stressed. What? Christian people live stressful lives? Who knew! This dynamic presentation is a fresh reminder that we are called to examine ourselves and the way we live; a reminder that Christ is the bridge between who we are and who He has called us to be. Together we will Let it go, Invite joy in, Value our relationships, and Embrace our place so that we might L.I.V.E. the abundant life Christ died to give us for His glory!
This presentation may be given as a keynote. 25 min. – 1.5 hours
RELEASE THE LIES, RETAIN THE PROMISES
Letting Go and Pressing On
What lies do we let creep in and cause us to question God’s deep love for us and His promises toward us? Based on the story found in Isaiah 36, Jaclyn brings women face to face with the lies that have been holding them back in their service and relationship to the King. Jaclyn brings the story full circle and encourages women to let go and press on by offering a fresh look at the amazing promises found in God’s word.
This presentation may be given as a keynote. 25 min. – 1.5 hours and/or through a series of lessons on the life of King Hezekiah. Look for a published study on this topic in fall 2012.
DEEP ROOTS
A Biblical perspective on staying faithful and helping young believers do the same.
Rooted in Jeremiah 17:5-8 and the unique story of a soy bean farmer, this presentation explores the importance of growing deep spiritual roots and the urgent need to water the spiritual roots of younger believers. Often discouraged by the apathy and desertion of other “believers” from the faith, Jaclyn takes a deeper look at why it is so hard to stand strong and stand long in the Christian life. She holds nothing back as she reveals to Christian adults the struggles teens and new believers face and urges them to get involved in watering and rooting others in the Word.
This presentation can also be combined with text from Titus 2:3-5 and the story of Naomi and Ruth for the encouragement of mentorship among women in your church or group.
This presentation may be given as a keynote. 25 min. -1.5 hours
TEEN GIRLS TOPICS
Having grown up as a part of the AGAPE Youth Group, Jaclyn believes in the power of youth ministry. Without the relationships and spiritual growth that came from her experiences and Bible studies with her youth group, Jaclyn knows she would not be the person she is today. If your pre-teen or teen girl's group is looking for an exciting idea for a retreat or special event, Jaclyn would love to be the guest speaker! Presentations can be customized to fit all types of youth groups and topics. Here are just a few ideas…
WIRED THAT WAY for Teens
Are they weird, or is it just me?!
This interactive presentation is a tool to help Christian teens identify and understand their unique God-given personality. By using a simple personality system and profile, students will leave this presentation with a new found confidence in their strengths, a better understanding of how to minister to others, and the knowledge to glorify God through their lives by reaching their highest potential. Perfect for teambuilding! The real benefitt of this presentation is that Jaclyn will help students understand that their struggles or weaknesses are not excuses, but areas of sin that must be overcome through the power of Christ.
This presentation may be given as a keynote and is excellent as a half or full-day seminar. 1.5-6 hours
DEEP ROOTS
A Practical Look at Standing Strong in Your Faith
In a world where teens are so bombarded by lies and distractions, it is more important now than ever that teenagers are deeply and honestly rooted in a faith that is their own.
