Transformed!
A journey from despair to life-changing freedom
Transformed…Women love that word. There’s nothing like a makeover to make us feel renewed. But, too often what we really need is a makeover from the inside out. Suffering from the painful wounds of childhood abuse and stolen innocence, Marilyn’s dark past led her down a path that ended in complete emotional breakdown and a long and seemingly hopeless battle with multiple personality disorder. Her journey from despair to life-changing freedom is both encouraging and inspiring—a beautiful testament to how God specializes in putting broken things back together again. No matter your past or what challenges you may face today…Marilyn’s message will give you the courage and hope to overcome. This message can be presented as an evangelism outreach event, a conference or event keynote, or expanded to a retreat series focusing on identity in Christ, eternal perspective, and change from the inside-out.

She Did What She Could
Encouraging women toward significance
It’s not “what” we do, but doing “what we can” that touches God’s heart. Whenever we take opportunities we have available to us to respond to God’s love, doing “whatever we can” becomes a beautiful thing in the eyes of the Lord! It is our heart to love Him back, in whatever way we have available to us, that turns even the smallest of deeds into something precious and valuable to Him. This is a practical message focusing on women throughout Scripture who God used in ways unimaginable, simply because they did what they could. This refreshing message of encouragement will bring peace to the perfectionist as well as significance to the woman who cannot find purpose in her daily life. Available as a single message or a 3-4 part retreat series.

New Creation, Original Design
Like the process of restoring an old family heirloom, God has reclaimed you as His own and is in the process of restoring your heart back to His original design! A message tailored toward developing intimacy in Christ and returning to that sweet place of unbroken fellowship with God in the garden of our hearts. Marilyn focuses on key spiritual principles to bring about positive and eternal change by turning our hearts back to God's original design: (1) repenting from our own ways outside of God’s authority; (2) resting in God’s goodness as we wait for His deliverance and clarity; (3) remaining steadfast in faith and obedience; and (4) reclaiming God’s promise of victorious restoration in our lives through Jesus Christ alone. This message can be presented as an outreach event, conference or event keynote, or expanded to a retreat series.

Real Faith
What does real faith look like in a fallen and confusing world?
Marilyn presents key elements of faith: humility and transparency, community and connection, trust and obedience, and confidence and courage as crucial elements in our battle of everyday faith in Jesus Christ. Interweaving her own challenges of overcoming depression, doubt, and despair, Marilyn shares from the heart as well as God’s instruction of faith to His people. Resulting in overcoming and reaping eternal rewards unimaginable, women are moved to apply these key elements of faith in their own lives. This message can be presented as an evangelism outreach, a conference or event keynote, or expanded to a retreat series focusing on connection, obedience, and confidence within the church body and unto the Lord Jesus Christ.

Forgiveness: Fact or Fiction
We need justice, but we also need mercy! Jesus satisfies them both. A message calling women to live in the peace that comes from receiving God’s forgiveness, Marilyn shares her own journey towards forgiveness of her own sin as well as the sin done against her as a helpless child. Marilyn presents biblical instruction towards challenging issues of real forgiveness, the application of reconciliation, and the freedom that comes from moving out of our inner pain and into God’s promises for our lives.
This message can be presented as an outreach, conference or event keynote, or expanded to a 3-4 part retreat series focusing on healing from one’s internal wounds and being set free to experience God’s glory and purpose outside of our own personal deserts.

Living for the Day!
Using God’s Resources to Build God’s Kingdom
We all want “Good and faithful Servant” to be said of us, but how can we be assured we will hear those words from our Heavenly Father? Taken from Luke 19:11-27, the Parable of the Ten Talents, this message encourages God’s people to apply and invest all of God’s resources through His Word and His Spirit as a sure guarantee to the building of God’s Kingdom as we await His final return. After hearing this message of instruction and encouragement, women will be directed and motivated to put God’s Word to work in their everyday lives! This powerful and insightful message can be presented at an event or conference as a key note or workshop.

The Gift of Friendship
Friendships are like flowers in the Garden of our hearts, bringing color, comfort, and cheer to our lives. Women can’t live without their friends, but women often experience stress and disappointment in their friendships instead. From bonding to boundaries, Marilyn explores the key biblical ingredients of a healthy friendship. Women will be encouraged to nurture their friendship with God as well as with one another through Marilyn’s personal stories and biblical teaching. This message can be presented as an outreach, conference or event keynote, or expanded to a 3-4 part retreat series.

The Wonder of Worship
Out of our circumstances and into the Throne Room!
A beautiful message on the wonder and power in worshipping the Living God with freedom, intimacy, and self-control, Marilyn testifies to the power of worshipping God for who He is and with all you’ve got. Women are encouraged to be transformed from the inside-out by being in God’s presence and worshipping God with transparency and unity in the body of Christ.

You Go Girl!
Getting Done what God is Calling Us to Do!

The Power of Love…
Surviving and thriving through marital distress
Too many couples think “We must not love each other if marriage is this hard,” but true love requires a commitment of faithfulness and determination. Focusing on Mike and Marilyn’s crisis of dealing with her long-healing journey out of Multiple Personality Disorder, Mike and Marilyn bring a warm and encouraging message to help couples build agape love and commitment through great marital distress. This message can be presented as an evangelism outreach, a conference or event keynote, or expanded to a retreat.

Out of Our Pain and Into God’s Promises
From overcoming a bad hair day to a traumatic event, eternal perspective is required! People tend to swing from two extremes of emotional healing: “Snap out of it!” or “Analyze until it buries you.” Marilyn brings a balanced biblical approach by sharing her own journey out of pain from a severely abusive childhood and realizing God’s promises for her life as she overcame Multiple Personality Disorder. Marilyn delivers a message of hope and help for those who are stuck in anything from a bad hair day to a bad life. Using the example of the Israelites’ journey out of the oppression of Egypt and into God’s promises, Marilyn shows how we can get through our own personal deserts in less than 40 days! This message can be presented as an evangelism outreach, a conference or event keynote, or expanded to a retreat series focusing on identity in Christ, overcoming emotional bondage, and change from the inside-out.
