Retreat Packages
We suggest the Going Deeper Retreat if this is Debbie's first time with your group. She shares her personal story of being pulled out of the pit of emotional pain through returning to her first love and saturating her mind in scripture. After 17 years of being a Christian, in ministry, Debbie started over. This is the heartbeat of Debbie's ministry to women—that they know who they are—and who He is.

- He Made Me

The reality of God's steadfast love will lead the way in exploring how being pretty, perfect and polished is a snare of our culture. What is of more importance is learning to live in our position as His, knowing Who we are and more importantly Whose we are.

Put Your Confidence in God: Learn the Pathway to Peace
Based on the message from the book, A Woman Who Trusts God, this retreat has it's focus and foundation wrapped around the book of Philippians. All women know about less than ideal lives.With practical application women are encouraged to learn to live in the "meantime" places of life by trusting God and learning to re-frame their attitudes and expectations by lining both up with the truth of God's Word. Many women live under the pain of their problems and this weekend will leave women encouraged to live under the promises of God instead...
With practical take-away, this retreat will not only remind women of the overlooked promise that they are never alone, and will encourage them to never forget that God will always be faithful.
Small group questions are available for sessions two and three. Quiet time devotional is available if creating a personal quiet time is part of the retreat weekend.
Scripture: Phillipians, Psalm 23
"Whatever happens conduct yourselves worthy of the gospel of Christ." Philippians 1:27
"Meanwhile live in such a way that you are a credit to the Message of Christ." The Message

Retreat #3
Becoming a God Pleaser - Retreat Weekend or Saturday Seminar
- Pleasing God - A Matter of Heart...New Attitude
- Pleasing God - The Bottom Line...New Journey
- Pleasing God - A Matter of Faith...New Dependence
- Pleasing God - The Sacrifice...New Purpose
This is not a time to reflect on performance or perfection. There is nothing any of us can do to be more loved by God than we are doing this very moment. Instead, this is a message of dependence and faith in the God who is pleased to call us His own. An important and pertinent message for today's woman who is usually bound up in people pleasing, approval seeking, and other unhealthy patterns that are clearly addressed in scripture. This is a life changing weekend or seminar.
Retreat #4
The Journey of Love - Retreat Weekend or Saturday Seminar
- The Relationship of Love
- The Reality of Love
- The Callendge of Love
- The LifeStyle of Love
This weekend will focus on two themes: Learning God's love for me, and Living God's love towards others. The first two sessions deal with God's love for me and how I can actively be growing in an understanding of that awesome truth. The last two sessions deal with the challenge of Living God's love towards other people, and will cover how we can be actively growing in obedience to God's word in the walk of love. This can also be called "Steadfast Love", "Leaving the Legacy of Love", "Restoring Love". Each message in the above retreat/seminar programs can be done as a single message for a keynote address, dinner, tea, etc.
In addition, the following are Debbie's speaking topics for single events:
Moms Groups
Leaving Heartprints—What a Mother Does Today Impacts Tomorrow
Christmas Events
Debbie is a favorite for Women's Christmas Dinners, Lunches, Breakfasts and Events. Each presentation is about 50 min in length.
Untangled Christmas
Go into the days of December looking for more meaning, joy, and genuine celebration of gratitude and love. This presentation includes 5 steps to untangling Christmas. With practical take away, this message presents practical thoughts of attitude, holiday mentality, how we treat others, and where we place our focus during this holy time of celebrations.
Hope for the Holidays
The forgotten promise of Christmas is that we are not alone. God's gift to us has been wrapped in the promise of Isa 9:6. It's as if God wrote his own Christmas Card with a promise of what He would be to His people. At a time of year where hope is needed, this message delivers the truth with compassion and fun.
Don't Miss the Sparkle!
Each holiday season we get to choose our attitude. We can be stressed and depressed and spread our own gloom all around. Or we can choose to look for the good, the beauty, the sparkle in every face, every gift, every twinkling light. This presentation encourages women to reach outside of themselves making December a time of sparkle and blessing to all those in their sphere of influence.
