Bill Speaks...

Living in the Here and WOW!
Most men desire to live a heroic life but feel like they are living a "ho-hum" life. The reality is that everything you do is part of God's eternal plan. This seminar demonstrates how the little things and the big things of every man's life help to Win Our World for Christ.

The Best Decisions a Man Can Make
Decision-making is one of life's greatest challenges. Bill presents practical principles and inspiring stories that help the hearer build solid decision-making skills and challenge men to live lives that count.

In the Game
Based on James 1, Bill uses sound biblical teaching and relevant life stories to challenge men to grab hold of the adventure of walking with Jesus. Men will be reminded that there are victories and struggles only competitors experience and each of these experiences gives evidence that we are in the game making a difference.

The Win Our World Survey of the Bible
From cover to cover, God's evangelistic desire for mankind is expressed. This study covers the key passages that express God's unwavering commitment to give people an opportunity to know him and receive eternal life as a free gift.

Winning at Life
There are many areas of life where men must win--at home, in their jobs, in decision-making, in personal growth and in the influence of their lives. Based on Ephesians 5 and 6, Bill challenges men to get a clear vision of what it means to win in life and develop a strategy to make it happen.

The Pursuit
The book of Romans contains a road map for pursuing God in a man's life. Bill explains the 5 sections of Romans-sin, salvation, sanctification, selection and service-as he inspires men to live in pursuit of their creator and His purpose for their lives.

A Real Man in Real Life
Bill will take men through a survey of the life of Moses. They will discover that Moses was a man of courage, vision and adventure. At the same time, they will discover that Moses was a man of discouragement, disappointment and daily responsibility. Men will be challenged to seek God out in the midst of real life.

In The Moment
The life of Joshua is an example a man who was ready for the significant moments of life. The problem is we never know when the moments are coming. We will, however, all be faced with the moment of decision, the moment of waiting, the moment of trust and the moment of action. Bill will help men prepare for the moments in practical ways.

The Adventure
Every man is created to fulfill some adventure in life. It fits in with his unique personality, his desires, his abilities and his energy level. Bill will take men through a journey of watching Jesus challenge men to think about the adventure of their lives.

The Heart of a Man
There is nothing more attractive than a man who is following his heart. At the same time, there is nothing more dangerous in life than a man who is following his heart. In this series of messages, Bill gets men to wrestle with the practical realities of having a heart of both courage and corruption.

Coaching Yourself in Life
There are typical barriers that keep people from growing and succeeding. For most people, these barriers are a mystery. In this series of messages, Bill exposes the typical barriers and gives practical steps for coaching yourself to the life you were intended to live.

Sunday Specials: Because Bill was a senior pastor of 15 years, Bill is a talented Bible expositor. He makes the perfect Sunday morning special guest for pulpit supply. He can adapt any of the above talks for the general audience, but he also has strategic messages on topics like giving, how to care for your pastor, forgiveness, and other issues that often a guest speaker can address with candor and conviction in a way that Bill is a pastor's best friend and teammate.

These messages can be a full weekend, a one day seminar or a stand alone message. Bill is comfortable talking to a wide variety of audiences: leaders, pastors, business and motivational settings, and outreach. He is ready to speak on any of the books the Farrel's have authored. His humor, practical Biblical insights and easy going yet enthusiastic presentations are always a hit. He'll inspire, encourage and equip.

What others are saying...

We had the Farrels here in Milwaukee last year at a one-day singles conference, and they were one of the best speakers we have ever had. We have booked thousands of speakers over the past 30 years, and they are TOPS! We look forward to having them back again. Since their speaking engagement here, they have been doing a column in our newspaper (the Christian Courier) almost on a monthly basis. Our newspaper has a readership of 40,000. Bill and Pam also came highly recommended to us from Elmbrook Church where Stuart Briscoe is on staff.

The Farrels are some of the few speakers we highly recommend to others. ... John Fisco, Jr., chairman, ProBuColls Association of Milwaukee; National Association of Christian Singles; and Publisher of the Christian Courier newspaper Milwaukee, WI

Chandler Christian Church was honored to have the Farrel's share at multiple venues. They spoke at a couples banquet, women and men's events and preached on the weekends. Our congregation loved the positive and informative and hilarity of their strong message on marital relationships. We look forward to their return! ...
