No matter where a woman is on her journey toward the heart of God, Sharon helps them take the next step closer. Sharon Jaynes has been encouraging and equipping women through ministry for over twenty years. From the time she met Christ as a teenager, she fell in love with God's Word and has had a passion to bring God's truth to today's woman.

Besides her own books, she has also been a contributing author in many books such as Chicken Soup for the Sports Fan's Soul, Stories for the Teens Heart, Stories for the Man's Heart, and the Women's Devotional Bible. Her books have been translated into several different languages. Sharon lives in North Carolina with her husband, Steve. They have one grown son, Steven. "We
women today face many struggles and
challenges trying desperately to balance
our varied roles and responsibilities. If
you're like me, you're looking for peace
in the chaos of life, perspective among
the cultural clattering that daily
bombards us, and purpose that brings true
fulfillment. I've discovered there's only
one place to find peace - it's God peace;
there's only one place to find a proper
perspective - it's God's truth; and only
one place to find true fulfillment - in
discovering God's purpose for my
life.. One
of my greatest joys has been having the
privilege of watching God change women's
lives: setting the captives free, mending
broken hearts, or opening the eyes of a
new believer for the very first time.
Whether it is a person's first experience
with the Savior or a seasoned saint
growing deeper in her faith, my passion is
to tell women about the truth that will
set them free to be all that God has
intended for them to be in Him (John
8:32) My
prayer for each life that I have the
privilege of touching is "that they will
be encouraged in heart and united in love,
so that they may have the riches of
complete understanding, in order that they
may know the mystery of God, namely
Christ, in whom are hidden all the
treasures of wisdom and knowledge" (
Colossians 2:2-3). Be
encouraged! Sharon Ultimate

Women
love the idea of a day at the spa to be pampered
and made-over from head to toe. In this session,
Sharon takes us to God's spa for the Ultimate
Makeover. Many women struggle with feelings of
inferiority, insecurity, and inadequacy. However,
when we discover who we are, what we have, and
where we are in Christ, God transforms us into the
confident women He intended all along. Women learn
how to see them selves as God sees them, change the
way they think, and experience the only makeover
with lasting results. This topic is a perfect for
retreats with multiple sessions.
The
desires have been there for as long as we can
remember; to be beautiful, to be a bride, to be a
mother, to be a cherished daughter, and to have a
best friend. But for many, life took a different
turn. In this session, Sharon challenges women to
dust off their hopes and dare to dream again -
through God's eyes. She shares stories of both
biblical and contemporary dreamer-heroines,
observations about how and when God restores
dreams, and a checklist for evaluating desires from
a godly standpoint. Women realize that God still
has dreams for their lives and has not forgotten
them. In this session, Sharon encourages women to
place their hand firmly in His - take a deep breath
and begin the exciting journey to a place they
thought they'd never find: the dream God planned
for them all along.
Do
you find yourself longing to hear God's voice - not
as a once-in-a-lifetime experience but on a daily
basis? Do you have a desire to see His fingerprints
on the pages of your busy everyday life? Some of
God's most memorable messages were not delivered
while men and women were away on a spiritual
retreat but right in the middle of the hustle and
bustle of everyday life. Like wise, God speaks to
us in our everyday lives. The question is - will we
listen? In this session, Sharon takes a fun, tender
look at how to recognize some of the wonderful and
unexpected ways God reaches out to us with His love
and presence. She also explores barriers and
bridges to hearing God's voice. After this session,
women feel refreshed, reaffirmed, and renewed as
they engage in listening to the One who loves to
talk to them.
Do
you want to become the woman of your husband's
dreams? The woman who makes him sorry to leave in
the morning and eager to come home at night? In
this session Sharon shares seven qualities every
man longs for in a wife, based on her surveys and
interviews with hundreds of men. Sprinkled
throughout are glimpses of men's hearts as they
honestly shared their responses and real life
stories of restoration - all wrapped in biblical
principles. 
What
is every mother's heart's desire? To be a great mom
and raise great kids! In this session, Sharon
inspires mothers of all ages and helps them
understand they have the most important job on
earth. She shares seven qualities of great
parenting, wrapped in heart tugging stories and
heart changing biblical principles. Get ready for
lots of laughs and even a few tears as you explore
what it means to be a great mom.
Like
the spine of a good book, scars, by their very
nature, imply there's a story to tell. While some
are on the surface, most are hidden in deep
recesses of the soul. But like buried treasure, God
longs for us to unearth those jewels, come out of
hiding, and invest those scars in the lives of
others. Just as the disciples recognized the
resurrected Jesus when they saw His scars, others
will recognize the Healer Jesus when we show them
ours. In this session, Sharon takes us on a journey
to discovering peace and purpose in the pain of our
past by rejecting the lie of disqualification,
resisting the fear of rejection, and releasing the
power of our own personal stories. Learn to see
your scars through God's eyes - your scars are
beautiful to God.
Could
your relationship with Jesus Christ use some
renewed commitment? Would you like to fall in love
with your husband all over again? Do you want to
make your home a sanctuary for your family and
friends? One of the biggest struggles for women
today is trying to juggle all their roles and
responsibilities. Based on Proverbs 31 and the
Seven Principles of Proverbs 31 Ministries, Sharon
gives practical insight into discovering God's
refreshing priorities and maintaining a balanced
life. (This seminar is only recommended for
multi-session events.)
Much
has changed since the God of the universe decorated
the night sky with the star of Bethlehem and
directed the choir of angels announcing Christ's
birth over 2000 years ago. But we don't have to let
commercialism rule in our hearts and homes. In this
session, Sharon shares practical and inspirational
ways, from A-Z, on how to keep Christ the focus of
the holiday season. This session comes equipped
with a "show and tell" as Sharon shows actual
Christmas items from her book and demonstrates how
to create a Christ-centered Christmas atmosphere
for their own home. She also shares her own
personal testimony and how the Christ-child
transformed her home. This session is perfect for
an outreach event!

your women's ministry is thriving, struggling, or
just starting out, Women's Ministry Boot Camp will
help take your team to the next level! Sessions

mission, developing a leadership team, dealing with

Sharon Jaynes speaks, lives are changed. She is
sincere and authentic yet fun without all of the
fluff. Sharon is one of the best I have ever heard
at drawing spiritual truths from the everyday
'stuff' of life. Simply from her demeanor, you know
she is a woman who walks with God and she
challenged us to do the same. Sharon literally took
us to the foot of the cross as she spoke truth into
our lives. One of our ladies walked away from our
meeting saying, "My life will never be the same. I
am finally free." "Sharon
is gifted with a gracious way of touching women's
hearts with her teaching and illustrations. Her
combination of Biblical truth, respect for our Lord
and an inviting sense of humor captivates women and
softens their hearts to hear from God."
