How can I arrange for Nancy Kennedy to speak to my group?
Nancy Kennedy is available to speak to women’s groups for retreats and conferences throughout the south and southeastern United States (and will consider traveling to states west of the Mississippi River). E-mail her at nkennedy@chronicleonline.com or nancyk1024@embarqmail.com Current retreat titles Move Over, Victoria I Know the Real Secret FOOD. BUSYNESS. IMAGE. POSSESSIONS. ACHIEVEMENT. APPROVAL. CONTROL. PERFECTIONISM. ATTENTION. HAPPINESS. BEING RIGHT. "PERFECT" RELATIONSHIPS. INDEPENDENCE. REVENGE. SELF-PITY. LOVE. SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS. Which of these everyday idols are holding you captive? Like most women, you probably have a life filled with modern-day "idols" that attempt to steal your attention and affection from God. Innocent-seeming idols like chocolate, thighs of iron, and a home that rivals Martha Stewart's. Things you turn to first, before turning to God, when you long for comfort, affirmation, self-worth, or love. In this popular three-session retreat, Nancy Kennedy uses humor, vulnerability and biblical truth to encourage women to surrender the lies that bind them to the God who desires their best and wants to set them free. Finding Rest in the Warmth of God's Smile God smiles on me? Based on her book, Girl on a Swing, Nancy Kennedy lets women know how and why God smiles on those He calls His own and explores the things that keep women from experiencing God's smile on their own lives.
When Perfect Isn't Enough It's time to laugh away the myth of the Perfect Woman. Women juggle endless responsibilities these days, from bringing home the bacon and frying it up in the pan to making sure husband and kids have a good supply of pork rinds and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Whether we're creating (burnt) offerings in the kitchen, balancing checkbooks, or keeping romance alive and well (or at least breathing), women can quickly become burned out, stressed out, and just plain worn out.
What others say about Nancy Kennedy: If you like Nancy Kennedy's books, you'll love her as a speaker. She is real and funny and down-to-earth. In the midst of relating her real-life experiences with humor and poignancy, she'll bring God's truth for your life into the midst of your gathering. We strongly encourage you to invite Nancy to speak to your group. Laura Parker, Associate Pastor and Women's Bible Study Facilitator, Mt. Zion United Methodist Church, Marietta, GA Nancy Kennedy speaks the truth with such genuineness. She is an unpretentious icon of unpretentiousness! In a world where women are virtually taught to wear masks, Nancy points us to the gospel, the only place where we can be safe to be who we really are. She speaks to every woman's heart that longs to truly be loved, rescued, and cared for by a faithful lover -- and Nancy knows well the only faithful One is Jesus Christ. Her books and spoken words take aim to point us to Him alone. Reina Cherry, Coaches Honor, a ministry to coaches and coaches' wives With refreshing honesty, Nancy has a been there done that approach to ministry and teaching as opposed to a you should do if you want God to approach. There is nothing preachy about her. She comes across as a fellow sojourner, and I like that about her. That's what makes her stand out. I also think she has a way of pulling the hilarious out of the every day. That's a good trait. Deana O'Hara, women's ministry, Our Savior Lutheran Church, Tulsa, OK To contact Nancy about speaking to your group, e-mail her at nkennedy@chronicleonline.com or nancyk1024@embarqmail.com. |
