Let's be real, sometimes life is just overwhelming. Andrea understands. As a woman who walked through more than one health crisis, infertility, a miscarriage, being a mom of a special needs child, and wife to a handsome man in the Army she knows what it's like when life is too much.
Because of her own journey, Andrea has the unique ability to connect with so many women and moms who are just overwhelmed by life to help them find hope, healing, and renewed strength in Jesus. Truly,
He is enough.

SPEAKING TOPICS
1. "I've Had Enough" - In 1 Kings 19 Elijah, exhausted and weary, runs into the desert and wants to die. He's had enough. Sometimes, we get to a place of exhaustion and weariness too because of all the pains and difficulties of life. Perhaps we've recently walked through a divorce, have a "prodigal" child, or have a sick child and we've "had enough". Elijah kept going and so will we, nourished by God and supported by His people.
2."Parenting is Hard" - Here we compare and contrast Hannah's parenting with Eli's parenting in 1 Sam 1-3. Hannah had to make some hard choices in her parenting, but she was blessed for her obedience. Eli made some bad choices in his parenting and his family reaped the consequences of that. In this lesson, I encourage women to do the hard thing as Hannah did. There is blessing for us as parents and our children as we choose obedience to the Lord.
3."The Barbie Life" - Here we look at the Shunnamite woman found in 2 Kings 4 and 8. Her life seemed so "perfect", but she had a secret desire of her heart, one she had buried. Her story is one of great pain, but also great redemption. As women, we are often tempted to portray a life that's just not realistic, but sometimes so much happens in our life that it begins to unravel and our mask has to go down. This woman found rescue from the Lord and through it all God used her story of pain to save her.
4. "Growing in Christ"- Here we look at Matthew Ch.13:1-9, and 18-23 to learn about what hinders our growth in Christ and how to live a life that bears fruit as a fully surrendered follower of Jesus Christ. We may not even be aware of what's hindering us or sadly even care. In this message, Andrea challenges women to just be real with God and each other finding strength from Him and support through His people to walk in deeper freedom with Christ.
5. "The Beauty of Biblical Headship"- Here we look at Ephesians 5:21-31and Genesis Ch. 2 to learn about God's design and desire for a husband to be the head and how we as wives can support our husbands in this God-given role. We will also talk about what headship means and doesn't mean to dispell some misconceptions to bring even greater life to our marriages. The relationship between a husband and a wife should be one of great beauty and a true expression of the Gospel to the world.
6. Personalized - Andrea would love to talk with you about the possibility of creating an original message just for your ladies.
