Kathy Howard – Arise Speakers

Kathy Howard helps women live an unshakeable faith for life no matter the circumstances. A
former “cultural Christian,” Kathy encourages them to stand firm on our rock-solid God through
trials and persecution or ease and success by embracing real, authentic faith.
Kathy will help women:
• Cling to God through troubles and trials to find strength, protection, comfort, and
guidance
• Build a faith that will withstand difficulty, persecution, ease, and success
• Develop the courage to follow God even when it means taking a risk
• Connect the wisdom and guidance of God’s Word to the decisions you face each day
• Find relevance for life in your relationship with God
• Gain satisfaction and joy through a deeper, more intimate relationship with God

while she eats chocolate and drinks coffee. She has a Masters in Christian Education and a

In recent years, God has been teaching Kathy more about His abundant grace. Through her own
relationships and life experiences, she is learning to extend the grace God has so lavishly poured
out on her own life.
Kathy calls herself a “confused southerner.” Raised in Louisiana, she has moved with her
engineer husband around the U.S. and Canada. She says “pop” instead of “Coke” and “you guys”
as often as “ya’ll.” But she’s still a southern girl at heart!

Cindi McMenamin – Arise Speakers

 

 

Cindi McMenamin is a national speaker and author who helps women find strength for the soul. As a longtime pastor’s wife and Bible teacher, she has more than 30 years experience ministering to women and inspiring them to let God meet their emotional needs, grow stronger through their alone times, and pursue their dreams with boldness. Cindi is the author of 15 books from Harvest House Publishers including her bestseller When Women Walk Alone(more than 120,000 copies sold), When God Sees Your Tears, God’s Whispers to a Woman’s Heart and her most recent, Drama Free. Cindi’s audience continually refers to her as:

  • Relevant – no matter what they’re going through she speaks to the issues they are dealing with.
  • Personable – With humor, transparency and the ability to share from her own weaknesses and failures, she relates to women of all ages from high school/college to retirement.
  • Powerful – Through principles and insights from God’s Word as well as her own story and other women’s transformational stories, Cindi challenges women to move beyond where they are now and experience powerful life change.

These are just a few of the most common responses Cindi receives after speaking

“I could relate to everything you were talking about. It’s as if you were talking straight to me.”

“I was challenged to start living differently by using the practical tools you provided at the retreat.”

“I could’ve listened to you talk all evening. Please come back every year.”

 

Cindi’s most requested presentations:

You Can be Drama Free

In this fun presentation, Cindi shows women practical ways to dial down the drama in their lives and respond appropriately to situations that would otherwise escalate.

Focusing on the Few Things That Matter

In this encouraging presentation, Cindi shows women how to increase their ability to identify and say “no” to busyness, learn how to slow down and spend more time with loved ones, maximize their peace and productivity, and discover new sources of endurance in the face of stress.

Restored!

Through Scriptural insights and practical helps, Cindi shows women how to see God as the Only One who truly satisfies, develop a desperation for God and long for His healing touch, experience a new confidence through a proper understanding of God, and enjoy the blessing of investing in the lives of others.

Women on the Edge

Through personal stories and real-life accounts of biblical women, Cindi shows women they are not alone in their everyday frustrations that make them feel they’re going to go over the edge. She helps them shift their focus from self to God, trust their heavenly Father more with the things they cannot control, and enjoy the confidence that comes from a heart wholly surrendered to Him.

Discovering Your Dream

Cindi’s message helps women explore God’s specific design for their lives by helping them verbalize new dreams for the first time, resurrect lost dreams and see them to fruition, and connect their desires and natural abilities to God’s purpose for them.

The Role of a Lifetime

A woman tends to define her role in life by her responsibilities and relationships. Yet God sees her apart from what she does and has given her an irreplaceable role and a “red carpet” she hasn’t realized. This “Hollywood-themed” retreat or event stresses the amazing worth of a woman in God’s eyes and challenges her to see her potential to make a difference in this world.

Longings of a Woman’s Heart

Cindi looks at the longings of a woman’s heart, where she goes to satisfy those longings, and the kind of fulfillment only found in an intimate relationship with Christ. Includes practical ways to see God as your First Love.

When You’re Running on Empty

Cindi shows you how to finish your day feeling energized by your activities, rather than worn out by busyness. Presentation includes practical ways to implement good health habits that recharge your energy, and ways to avoid burnout by leaning on God for daily power.

Reflecting His Light

Is your life marked by the light you radiate toward others? It can be. In this inspiring talk, Cindi shares how you can look to God for your fulfillment, live in the light of His joy, and live like a child of the King.

Cindi also speaks on Inspiring Your Daughter (using material from her popular book, When a Mom Inspires Her Daughter), Worry-Free Parenting (from her book, 10 Secrets to Becoming a Worry-Free Mom); and Drawing Your Husband’s Heart Closer to Yours (from her books When a Woman Inspires Her Husband and 12 Ways to Experience More with Your Husband.)

Cindi’s Christmas Talks:

‘Tis the Season to be Stress Free – In this upbeat presentation, Cindi speaks to the heart of every woman who finds herself busy and stressed over the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons by showing them practical ways to slow down and enter the holiday season with a focused heart.

Celebrate the Savior  – This encouraging message will help women appreciate the kind of friend they have in Jesus, discover God as the Father they might have never had, and experience freedom through God’s forgiveness and gift of eternal life

Hope for the Holidays – No matter what you – or someone you know – is going through, Cindi shares comfort from a wonderful story in God’s Word about how He hears your prayers, sees your tears, and is planning for your greater good, no matter what things might look like now.

Besides speaking across the country, Cindi has made numerous TV and radio appearances on shows such as Family Talk with Dr. James Dobson, Moody Broadcasting’s Prime Time America and Midday Connection, At Home Live, The Harvest Show, 100 Huntley Street, Not Just Talkin’ the Talk, and His Love Extended.

One of many endorsements for Kathy’s speaking : I have participated in and also led several church retreats over the years. Our latest retreat, with Kathy as the speaker/teacher for the whole weekend, was the deepest, most life-changing retreat I’ve ever been on. Her willingness to be vulnerable about her own life allows women to feel safe so they can open up about deep wounds and hurts they may have hidden their whole life. Kathy is a willing vessel the Lord uses to teach, encourage, love and challenge participants, so their walk with God becomes clearer, stronger and better than they ever thought possible.—Irene Brennick, Director of Women’s Ministries, Life Spring Church, Moorpark, California Director, Community Services, Los Robles Hospital & Medical Center
