Presentation Topics
Setting the Captives Free
Low self worth plagues 80% of women! They feel enslaved by inferiority, sin, and failure, not realizing that Christ set them free on the Cross. Shelley passionately shares her personal testimony of freedom from the cage of poor self worth to the comfort of healthy self approval. We can live a life of freedom, one transformed from bondage to victory.
Surrendered Dreams
Deep within each of us lives a dream, something we long for so desperately that it often consumes us. God instills dreams with the intent of total surrender. By laying our hopes and ambitions at the feet of Jesus, we can accept God's providence for our life. Shelley reveals the steps that lead to total surrender.
Can Your Heart Come Out and Play?
We often hide behind our walls and busy lives devoting little time to developing friendships, unaware that the greatest gift we can give ourselves is to open our heart to others and build godly relationships. Embark on a journey to discover how to create cherished, lifelong friendships.
Voice of the Lord
The Lord, forever reigning from His throne, wields complete control. A simple utterance and His voice resonates power that echoes through our lives. Psalm 29 wonderfully illustrates the strength residing in the voice of the Lord. What can His voice accomplish in your life? How can you hear it? How do you recognize it? How can you learn to trust it? Shelley provides insight into the power of God unleashed through His voice.
Milestones of God
The people of God have used stones in various ways throughout His Word. Stones were used for ordinary purposes as well as for documenting the mighty hand of God in commemorating a remarkable event. A stone slew a giant. A monument of stone reminded future generations of the parting of the Jordan River. A stone pillow became an altar of the Lord’s presence. Shelley helps individuals examine their lives to identify God working at significant times, recognizing His movement in everyday circumstances.
Set Apart, Not Set Aside
Many singles believe they must struggle through life under a stigma of failure or rejection, living with a feeling of incompleteness. That was never God's intent. As unmarried Christians we need to change our focus and excel in the unique plan God has determined for us. Shelley challenges her audience to embrace singleness and take full advantage of the God-given privileges of being single.
God's Blueprint
God sketched a blueprint for your life, drawing and designing you to complete His good pleasure. He assigned your personality type and spiritual gifts to equip you for your purpose on earth. Through an insightful and humorous study of DISC, Shelley uncovers the four personality types and teaches you to value yourself and others. DISC serves as a springboard to self-discovery that leads each individual to develop an appreciation for their distinctive creation as they embrace who God created them to be.

Strike the Match! Rekindling Your Flame
How do you stay passionate about your relationship with Christ? What can be done when the flame of excitement dwindles? In your chaotic world, winds from life's circumstances bluster and extinguish your zeal and desire. Shelley shares six ways to strike the match to relight a yearning for an intimate encounter with God. You will be refreshed, renewed and rekindled.
On Your Mark, Get Set, Go!
Are you aware that your Christian life is a race that requires training and spiritual discipline? Have you identified your track, audience, finish line, coach, and running mates? How do you learn to run to accomplish God’s purposes for your life? Shelley explores the different aspects of a race that will help believers cross the finish line to hear God say, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”
