Ann Swindell is a dynamic speaker who encourages and challenges her listeners to say yes to God in every season of life. Here are some of the topics she speaks about:
Finding Peace in Every Season–Based on Ann’s newest book (forthcoming May 2022), this is a series of talks based on several women of the Bible (such as Sarah, Ruth, and Mary) who walked in God’s peace in their own challenging situations. Ann will unpack the Scriptures in order to encourage and equip the women of your church to find peace in Christ, no matter what they are facing.
The Goodness of God in Life’s Waiting Room–Based on Ann’s book, Still Waiting, this is a series of talks that will help the women in your group learn to more fully trust the Lord as they wait on his timing in their lives. Whether they are waiting for healing in their bodies or minds, or whether they need God’s breakthrough in their relationships or circumstance, they will be reminded that the Lord is faithful–and good–in these in-between times. With stories that flow out of the Scripture and her own tender life experiences, Ann will point listeners to God’s goodness and trustworthiness as they wait.
Growing Spiritually in Every Season–No matter how busy or overwhelmed we feel, there is grace–and help!–for us to grow in relationship with Christ. This talk offers Biblical insights and practical tools to grow in closeness with Jesus, no matter how full life becomes.
Not Missing Out, Not Falling Behind–When we look to the people around us, it’s easy to feel like we’re the only ones not measuring up or being productive with our lives. But as we stay in step with Jesus, we can know, with confidence, that we are exactly where we are supposed to be.
Wholehearted Mom, Wholehearted Creative–In the season of motherhood, what does it look like to wholeheartedly pursue our other passions without neglecting the holy work of being a mom? Can we do both–and do them both well? We will walk through the Word together, embracing Biblical truth that will fuel and empower us to fulfill all of our callings with Christ at the center.
