Anne's Presentation Topics

Retreat/Conference & Seminar Topics:

My Personality: By God's Divine Design
Have you had a difficult time trying to get along with a particular person? Do you wonder why everyone doesn't always want to do things "your way"? This series of fun and informative presentations point out the four basic personality types and their typical character traits.

Learn to appreciate, celebrate and maximize the positive personality traits that God has placed within you and those around you. Allow God to help you to refine your weaknesses and gain understanding and tolerance for the weaknesses in others. Applying this valuable information will enable you to live the full and peaceful life that God desires for you.

When you understand that we are all God-designed and uniquely different, you will be able to get along better with your spouse, family, friends, clients, co-workers and members of your church body. This study will help you to experience real and authentic scriptural love for others.

Individual Presentation Topics

LIPS
Have you ever allowed words to slip from your LIPS in the heat of the moment, only to regret having said them seconds later? When is the last time that you considered the effects of your words on others?

Anne creatively uses personal stories and anecdotes to encourage you to contemplate the weight and consequences of the words that you choose to use. She points out the utmost importance of applying scripture as a way of "filtering" your words before you permit them to pass through your LIPS.

Anne reveals that if you will consciously strive to utilize your LIPS the way God desires, your words can become a source of true blessings to others and yourself.

This session can last from 25 minutes to 90 minutes. Great for banquets, teas and luncheons.

New & Improved
Have you been searching for the ultimate stain remover? Anne creatively compares the promises of various laundry detergents and stain removers to the promises of God. She emphasizes the ultra cleaning power that He promises in your life, the power to remove the old stains & sins of your past. HIS is a GUARANTEED clean!!

Anne points out the biblical directions that God has given you to maintain that fresh, bright, sparkling new life in Christ. She uses scripture from Lamentations to help you to understand that God DOES offer us a "New and Improved" life on a daily basis. His mercies are new every morning, great is HIS faithfulness.

This presentation will help you to realize the "New & Improved" life that God invites you to be a part of daily. You'll never look at laundry detergent in the same way again.

Presentation lasts approximately 45 to 90 minutes and works especially work well luncheons, banquets and teas.

Sweet Tea With A Slice Of Lemon? "I'll Take Mine With Extra S.U.G.A.R., please!!"
Have you ever felt like you've had your fill of life's daily annoyances? Feel like you've had more than your fair share of life's lemons hurled your way? Anne reveals God's truths and keys to contentment when life's lemons are starting to get to you.

She starts this presentation with a witty dramatization bringing out the fact that people often hide behind facades. Everyone experiences life's lemons but sometimes you don't want to reveal that fact to others. Anne points out the Biblical directions that God has given to enable you to experience HIS precious S.U.G.A.R. sweet tea and peace... even when we feel like we are being pounded by life's lemons.

The best way to combat life's trials and lemons is with HIS S.U.G.A.R.!

S - Surrendering to Jesus Christ & continually allowing His restoration process in my life on a day-to-day basis;
U - Understanding through prayer;
G - Gaining wisdom through God's Word;
A - Adjusting to my surroundings and finding contentment through Him in any situation (Phil.4:11-13);
R - Reflecting the presence of Christ in my life to others 24/7.

Once you are abiding in your relationship with Jesus, allowing His S.U.G.A.R. to permeate your life, you will find that God will be using you to let His S.U.G.A.R., sweet tea overflow from you into the lives of others.

This intriguing presentation can last 40 to 60 minutes.

The Party Is NOT Over!
Have you ever planned a party? Did things turn out exactly as you had anticipated? Have you ever thought about how GOD has planned a party, a purpose party for your life?? Are you a gracious and cooperative party guest?

Anne uses an interesting and entertaining approach to remind "seasoned" believers that there is no spiritual retirement. There is still work to be done and fun to be had in fulfilling HIS "purpose party" for your life.

Anne uses humor, personal testimony and scripture giving step-by-step guidelines to getting your own personal "purpose party" back on track for Christ.

P - Pray;
A - Adjust;
R - Reflect;
T - Testify, and
Y - Yield.

This presentation can last 60 to 90 minutes. Ideal topic for banquets, teas & luncheons.

Mints or Onions? You Choose!!
Have you ever been in a situation where you had a choice of standing either near a person who had just popped a refreshing breath into their mouth, or standing near someone who has just enjoyed a fresh onion sandwich? Which one would you prefer to stand next to?

Anne helps you to realize that our words and actions are like a walking billboard, presenting Christ to others. Based on Colossians 4:6 "Your speech should always be pleasant and interesting, and you should know how to give the right answer." Anne uses wonderful stories and examples of how we have a choice of how we will represent Christ to a lost world. Will we choose to be like an onion.... offensive and repelling? Or will we choose to be refreshing and encouraging like a mint?

Fabulous topic choice for any women's event. Session can last 25 to 90 minutes.

Log On To Jesus' Chat Room
Have you ever been knocked off-line? Had a letter returned? Been disconnected on a phone call? These are no worries when it comes to our communication with Christ. God is there 24/7. Anne has cleverly titled this session on prayer "Log On To Jesus' Chat Room".

Anne uses scripture and personal stories to remind you of the importance, simplicity and blessings of prayer.

This powerful and thought provoking presentation can last 20 to 60 minutes. Works great for mother-daughter luncheons, and banquets.

Anne is more than happy to work with your group or ministry's needs and time restraints to customize a speaking engagement for your event.
