Karie's Topics

Karie's presentations can be customized in length to meet your need and fit the theme of your event.

Godly People...Doing Ungodly Things
Warfare is hardball but seduction is a curveball. Let's see why Paul exhorts wholehearted, committed Christians to beware of 'our minds' being corrupted and seduced from pure devotion to Christ (II Cor. 11:3) Karie shares her personal testimony and encourages and equips women to live a life worthy of His calling and the awareness of the enemy's strategies.

Your Teen, Your Legacy
As a mother of 3 teens, Karie will share candidly the physical, emotional and spiritual consequences of 'going to far' along with 'cutting edge' information regarding sexual purity with her Parent Pac for 'parents.' It's never too early to gain credibility as you connect with your child by speaking their love language!
Presented in 90 minutes!

The 4 A's: Abortion, Adoption, All-Your-Life and Abstinence
Everyone has experienced one of the "A" words sometime in their life. Now hear Karie share all 4 with transparency and a love for you and Him. You'll leave encouraged knowing as far as the east is from the west so far has He removed all our transgressions. This is one of her most popular messages making us ready as a witness for Him in a world of 'choices'. Isn't God so good to use our past for His glory?

Living for the Moment
What is one thing worth waiting for? You are! Sex is a gift saved for the one who is committed to honor and cherish you. Oh, the thrills of risk, like the role of the dice, represent the decision made to have pre-marital sex. Know your limits - how to set them, stand by them and respond with confidence and conviction. Specifically designed for youth groups, singles/college.

Know What You Stand For
Love versus infatuation - how can you tell the difference? The baggage of 'going too far' is taken into the next relationship like an invisible suitcase. Sex is a gift to be cherished and saved for the security of marriage. How did David, a psalmist and a King become a murderer and commit adultery? Let's be challenged with our 'love' towards the One who knows us best!
Specifically designed for youth groups, singles/college.

The Miracle of Life
Nothing outweighs the life of a child. Why is there an abortion 1 every 20 seconds? Presented in a gentle and loving atmosphere; hearts will be changed through Karie's personal testimony of an abortion at the age of 15 and the 'management choice' at the age of 39. Her son, Daniel, weighing 1 lb.10oz impacted many lives during his 18 months on earth. Let's appreciate life. Great presentation for CPC's.

Fighting Life's Giants
Another major area I love to share is the testing of our faith. You see, my faith was 'tested' my son's senior year at opening football season when he broke his neck with a C1 C2 fracture (same as Christopher Reeves). Hear Clif's amazing testimony of finding true purpose for his life and a mother's test of faith as she held onto His promises. Presented with her son, Clif Weston, who published an article (Christianity Today, Campus Life 2004) and now is a Decathlon athlete for MCC in Mesa, Arizona.

Purity Ceremony
Karie presents this very memorable ceremony as a special commitment to sexual purity shared between a parent and his or her teenage son/daughter. During the ceremony a parent will give a ring or special piece of jewelry to his or her teenager to wear as a symbol of promise to purity. What a significant event for your church calendar impacting the lives of students and families for generations! Karie brings jewelry for guys, girls and parents along with all the details in making this evening remembered for a lifetime. This works great when followed by a student presentation.
