CHILDREN'S AUTHOR
Speaking
Kate is passionate about sharing God’s goodness and grace with young mothers through stories and scripture. She is available for a limited number of speaking engagements each year. To book Kate for your church event or Moms group please use the contact page. Here are a couple of her favorite speaking topics, or you may request something specific.
Lessons Learned Through Foster Care & Adoption
“Even before they call, I will answer; while they are still speaking, I will hear.” Isaiah 65:24 CSB
Kate and her family have spent over a decade as a licensed foster home. During this time, they welcomed 14 children from the age of newborn through 18. Some stayed only a few nights, one is staying forever. Through this journey, Kate has learned a lot about brokenness—but even more than that—about restoration, redemption, and God’s lavish provision. This talk is full of stories that will encourage every woman’s faith as she hears testimony of God’s miraculous goodness. It will lift the heart of anyone who has wondered, "Where is God in the middle of brokenness?"
Living Bold,
Taking Risks,
Saying "Yes!"
“I will run after you with delight in my heart, for you will make me obedient to your instructions.” Psalms 119:32 TPT
Kate’s number one goal in life is obedience to Christ, because that's where our deepest intimacy with Him is found. The problem is, God doesn’t call us to comfort. How do we know what God is calling us to? What if God asks us to do something really hard? Is obedience worth it? Be inspired to live intentionally. Get ready to say “Yes!”
Through the Sea:
God’s Water-Parting Provision in the Middle of our Desert
“Your steps formed a highway through the seas with footprints on a pathway no one even knew was there.” Psalm 77:19 TPT
Structured around Exodus 14, this message is a reminder of God’s tender, intimate, water-parting provision. Kate will share her own stories of desert experiences, lost hope, and how God answered each of her struggles. Whether you are feeling God’s faithfulness in full-force, or are praying for a miracle that has not yet happened, this message encourages listeners to lean into the goodness of God.
“Kate is a dynamic speaker and shares from her heart. Our moms group loved her transparency and honesty in sharing God’s hope in the middle of our trials.”
