Robin Farnsworth – Arise Speakers

Robin Farnsworth is an award-winning author and speaker. She and her husband Calvin live on Cape Cod, where they run Higher Ground Outreach, a Christian ministry for incarcerated men and women.

On duty as an ER nurse in 2002, Farnsworth identified her son, Spencer, minutes after he was pronounced dead. He was the unintended target of a murder. So begins her memoir, The Greater Weight of Glory, an extraordinary journey that explores the power of faith and forgiveness with rare candor and courage. In 2016, WCVBTV Boston’s Chronicle interviewed Robin and one of the men in prison for her son’s murder, highlighting their “unlikely friendship.” It is a story you won’t forget.

Robin is available for speaking engagements and has spoken in a wide variety of settings as God has opened doors. She believes in the power of a testimony and that there is enough in her story to motivate anyone to believe God loves them and wants to heal and restore. “My goal is to encourage others in their circumstances and help them make life-changing decisions that will lead to a victorious life in Christ Jesus.”

 

 

About Speaking:

If you are looking for a speaker who can touch the hearts of the entire gathering, then I strongly recommend Robin. She has been our guest speaker two years in a row and everyone is already looking forward to her next appearance. Robin has so much to share and does it in a loving, kind way. You go away from her presentation wanting to be a better person.

“Robin is a dynamic and engaging speaker. I was recently at a sold out event of over 300 people and you could’ve heard a pin drop! People were rapt and hanging on every word. Her book is incredible to read but to hear her speak her testimony is even more powerful!”  – Kim R. 2018

 

About the book:

This memoir will leave you with a lightness of spirit unimaginable for an account surrounding the death of a child. It is a must read for reasons you can’t yet imagine.

– Lit Lovers Review

From its very beginning … I was uplifted by her indomitable spirit and unflinching faith. I can’t say enough about this book and it is most definitely deserving of a Medallion. – BRAG  Medallion Review

Impossible to put down. Incredible story which was beautifully written. Honest, really honest. Will make you cry. An important book for both Christians and non Christians to read. The message is universal. Thank you Robin. –  Dr. Nate Rudman, Amazon review

Janet Holm McHenry – Arise Speaker

Janet is widely known as an insightful, hilarious, and personable speaker—someone who will make you laugh but also someone who will give you a fresh perspective on God’s Word so as to lighten your load. She is a national speaker and author of 23 books, six of those on prayer. You may have heard of her best-selling book PrayerWalk that inspired a feature article in Health magazine, as well as others in magazines such as Family Circle and Catholic Digest. Her newest book on prayer, The Complete Guide to the Prayers of Jesus (release date: June 5, 2018) is the only comprehensive book on the prayer life of Jesus. Her business name is Looking Up! because that is what she enjoys doing most: encouraging others to turn to God through prayer and a deeper spiritual walk. Janet experienced dramatic changes in her life as a result of her prayerwalking, as well as countless answers to prayer in her community. She and her husband Craig have raised four children in the Sierra Valley, where he is a rancher and where she formerly taught English at the high school. Janet serves as the director of prayer ministries in nearby Reno at The Bridge Church, where she also leads a First Place 4 Health group and has served on the church board. In her hometown in the Sierra Valley, she serves on the board of The Sierra Schools Foundation, a nonprofit organization that brings financial resources to her community’s rural schools. In the summers you can find Janet kayaking with Craig on mountain lakes, and in the winter she’s keeping the scorebook at home basketball games. In all of her life’s pursuits, though, you will see that she is Looking Up! . . . and she would love to speak at your next event.
