Saints Among Us, honors local community and church members who have experienced heartache and suffering, and who make a profound difference in the lives of others. In this module, Michele meets with local men, women, and/or children who have risen above their challenges such as teen pregnancy, divorce, terminal illness, developmental delays, and family tragedy. Michele conducts video interviews with those who are inspired by these modern-day Saints and creates a mini-documentary that highlights the lives of each person and how they impact their community, despite and in some cases because of their challenges.
Protecting Our Girls focuses on social media exposure, current culture, modesty, purity of heart, and self- esteem, and how we as our daughters’ keepers can be victorious when battling negative trends and behaviors. The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world, and our young girls will become the women who will rise up as our next generation of Christian leaders.
Faith After the Fire is Michele’s parents' heart-wrenching yet powerful story of tragic loss, poverty, illness, and adversity who became pillars of their Faith in their church and community. It is a testimony of hope, perseverance, Faith, Family, and Tradition which inspires us to link our hearts and hands to a rewarding and spiritual way of life.
Desperate Choices ~ Christ-Centered Decisions looks at the times in our lives when we are scared, pressured, alone, rejected, and confused; the desire to make it all go away and rush to what appears to be the easiest path often clouds our judgment. In many of life's challenges, hasty choices often leave devastating and lasting effects. How do we pause in the critical moments during a crisis to make Christ-centered decisions? Is it possible to make the best and ultimate choices that lead to abundant blessings? Topics addressed are unhealthy relationships, adults who are struggling, and behaviors that hurt us emotionally and spiritually.
Simplistic Joy helps us appreciate the calm that surrounds our Faith through nature, music, art, prayer, and meditation. In what is often a chaotic existence, taking the time to recharge our prayer life results in deepening our Faith and appreciating a quiet joy within our relationships and in our homes. This talk is best suited for smaller sized groups.
Duct-Tape Dynamics is an action-packed workshop for middle school and high school students that openly discusses scientific proof that aligns with morality, self-worth, leadership, and confidence. Group puzzles, scavenger hunts, Duct-Tape, and mock plays engage participants throughout this action-packed 90-minute kinesthetic adventure.
Two-Way Street to Forgiveness discusses the steps necessary to truly forgive as well as seek forgiveness. Until we forgive those who deeply hurt us, our physical and spiritual makeup is negatively affected. The power in letting go of our pride, not holding onto hurt, and/or humbling ourselves to seek forgiveness empowers us to become the people God intended us to be. While not always easy, the after-effects of being the bigger person, glow for a lifetime.
