Pamala Kennedy

Pamala Kennedy is a delightfully entertaining Bible teacher, writer, and international conference speaker. But that's not all - she's a radio disc jockey, and was Mrs. California 1997. But Pamala's is no storybook life. She shares honestly the good, bad, and sometimes painful experiences as a mother of three grown children, "Mimi" to four grandchildren, and caretaker for a loved one with a terminal illness. Pamala is a seasoned CLASS speaker and author. Of Cherokee descent, Pamala is a minister's daughter and served as a pastor's wife for more than 25 years. She brings a unique behind the scenes perspective to all her presentations.

Pamala is a graduated of Rogers State University. Her degree in communications, with an emphasis in radio and television, makes her an excellent choice as a motivational conference speaker in a business or professional environment, or a retreat or conference setting. Pamala also completed an internship at the local ABC television affiliate in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She has recently appeared on a number of international television broadcasts including LifeToday with James and Betty Robison.

Pamala is the author of two books with more on the way. Her first, Where Have All the Lovers Gone? was published in 1991 by Campus Crusade (Here's Life Publishers). Her second book, Suffering in Slow Motion was released in 2003 by Regal Books. Her most recent project, Dancing in the Desert is expected to be released in the near future. Pamala writes a regular newsletter.

Pamala has a long line of community service ranging from leading the effort to develop a city-wide pastor's wives prayer and support system, being an advocate of breast cancer awareness while she served as Mrs. California 1997-98, and serving on her local Arts & Humanities Council.

"So be truly glad! There is wonderful joy ahead, even though it is necessary for you to endure many trials for a while" (1 Peter 1:6 NLT).

Following is a sample of Pamala's presentations:

Dancing in the Desert
This series is ideal for a weekend retreat and focuses on the choices we must make when faced with desert experiences in life. Desert experiences are not optional - but dancing is. Pamala shares from the depth of her experience and offers "dancing lessons" for life's deserts.
(Up to four 45 minute sessions)

Dare to Be Real
In our desire to be inspirational, we sometimes conceal truth about pain in our lives. In this session Pamala shares material from her book, Suffering in Slow Motion. She takes the risk to share first-hand heartache and genuine hope from her own life experiences. She challenges her listeners to dare to be real and to discover for themselves that God doesn't waste pain, but uses it to comfort others as He comforts us.
(Up to four 45 minute sessions)

Walking with God
Intimacy with God is our deepest human need. Many try to fill this need with other things, only to feel more emptiness. God longs for His creation to experience this sweet communion as it was intended from the beginning of time. He is calling you - will you respond?
(Up to three 45 minute sessions)

Friends
Do you have real friends? Want more? Want better, deeper relationships? Learn about the journey into covenant friendships and the cost of commitment.

God Is Always Up to Something!
We say we want to know God's will and get with it! But are we really ready for God to move in our lives and give us "The Promised Land"? What steps can we take to make sure we are spiritually ready to be a part of God's plan? He has one, that's certain. He's always had one!

Impact Your World
A motivational series of talks that encourages individual growth by giving insight into the power of words, relationships, and overcoming destructive habits to claim a life of destiny and influence. Pamala shares three 45 minute sessions on the refining process in our lives.

  • Refining your Words: We have the power to destroy or build up others with our words. Which will it be?
  • Refining your Destiny: A stimulating challenge to trust and believe that we can have a life of success and influence.
  • Refining your Relationships: Pamala believes the key to strong relationships is to love, to know, and to accept yourself as well as others. This talk deals with personalities, generation gaps, and cultural differences.

What others are saying...

"Pamala's practical wisdom and keen spiritual insights do not just come out of books but out of a life of ministry and the fires of incredible suffering. She's been refined and purified. An articulate communicator, Pamala Kennedy is also 'the real deal'...she walks the walk. She has the unique ability to connect with all audiences, both secular and spiritual. I would highly recommend her as a speaker for any event.
Laura Trapp, MorningJoy Ministries

"Your book Suffering in Slow Motion has touched my soul enormously. Your emotional honesty and biblically based values are a great God-inspired gift to the rest of us having to travel this same journey. Your book has help me enormously and I will share it will others.
Sergio Maresca, Brisbane, Australia

"I have worked for many years as a nursing home chaplain and have loved and been loved by wonderful families with challenges like Pamala's and her family. Your book is powerful and it is comforting, educational, and affirming that God is with us."
Chaplain Carol Collins

"Thank you Pamala for sharing your life in such a wonderful way. Our children are grown and they struggle with the "loss" of their father. It's hard to see him change and still look the same. Your book has opened up a lot of dialog among our family. I have tried to stay strong through God, but I too have been overwhelmed at times. I'm glad to know that people can grow through these tough times!"
Marilyn Temple

"I just finished reading your book 5 minutes ago. I cried, smiled and scribbled all over it (my usually style). I had to run to my computer and send you a big hug and thanks for your super book."
Pamela Dawson, Tasmania
