One of the things I love to do is speak to groups of women! Bringing the word of God and His principles to those who love Him is a great joy and a responsibility that I take seriously. It is important to me that the Holy Spirit be able to use me and speak through me so that we can hear what is on God’s heart. I love to share relevant and vulnerable stories from my own life to illustrate the message God has placed on my heart. I make sure that listeners leave feeling encouraged and having a clear understanding of how to apply the message to their lives.

Some things people had to say after hearing me speak:

“I was touched and challenged as God worked powerfully through our speaker this weekend. Jamie’s story, honesty, depth, and even humor brought a unique blend of tears and chuckles all the while pointing me to the open, merciful and loving arms of Jesus Christ.” —Jen, attendee, ‘Divine Secrets of the Yahweh Sisterhood’ retreat

“You will be encouraged and inspired as Jamie shares her own life experiences in her personal walk with Christ.” —Keri, former Women’s Retreat Coordinator, Crossroads Christian Church

“Jamie brings an ease and comfort to her teaching that causes you to feel like you are at home in her living room sharing the deep things of God.”—Kathryn Leonard, of Kathryn Leonard Ministries

Most believers would probably agree that we are either in the “last days” or at least approaching them. In that case, it’s very likely that we are raising the sons and daughters that this scripture speaks of.

When I talk to moms about their kids today, I often hear that spiritual gifts, anointing, and callings are already presenting themselves. We are living in a time when the voice of God needs to be heard more than ever. Our children may very well be His voice in the wilderness! I also hear about the ways that the enemy is attacking our children and I see that there is serious opposition to the godly generation that God is raising up within our families.

In August, I wrote about being broken, about the beauty and sweetness of embracing brokenness. Only when we are laid out before the Lord can He begin to repair us, rebuilding our faulty foundations and bringing healing to our wounded places.

For many of us, the barrier to brokenness is pride. We’ve been taught that being broken is bad. It means that we’re not good enough, therefore shame is often associated with being broken. We’d rather try to hold it together… and not face the reality of our wounds, the depth of our mess, the vastness of our needs. How ironic that we do this so much in the church. Rather than embrace our broken state and experience healing, we’d rather keep up our performance. Our happy, healthy, got-it-together performance.
