Gaye's Most Requested Programs:

Help!  My Life Jacket Has a Hole in It!

We know we are loved by an Almighty God.  We know we were created for a divine purpose.  But what happens when our ship begins sinking faster than we can plug the holes?  What do we do when our life jacket doesn’t fit, our energy went overboard yesterday, and there’s only one oar left in the boat?  Whether you are enjoying “Peace Like a River” or you’re on the “Bridge Over Troubled Waters,” you will appreciate Gaye’s humor and encouragement as she reminds us of the peace that comes only from Jesus, the Captain of our Souls. 

Don’t Miss Your Boat: Living with Purpose in the Real World

We’ve all said it: “If I can get through this week, then…” or “As soon as work slows down, then…”  Although our intentions are good, our time is spent living in the future rather than living in the present.  In this message you will be reminded that you were divinely created for a divine reason, and today matters!  Life is profoundly changed the moment you discover and begin living out your unique purpose. 

The Significance of One

Every person wants and needs to feel significant.  We want to know that our lives matter, even though we’ve never written a best-seller, we haven’t found a cure for cancer, and we haven’t appeared on Oprah!  Using Nehemiah and Queen Esther as role models, we will be reminded of our divine place in history, and will re-discover that one person can make a difference! 

Building the Bridge: Solutions from the Head, Results from the Heart

We work hard to achieve professional success.  We also desire to live a life that makes a difference, that affirms our faith, and that reflects our personal values.  How do we make the connection between the two?  Gaye will help you discover how to build a bridge between your heart and your head to get results.  It is possible to be successful without losing yourself in the process. 

Signal Your Intention, Not Your Turn

The Path Workshop: Creating Your Mission Statement for Work and for Life

What if you could truly know where you are going – spiritually, personally, and professionally?  What if you could determine God’s highest purpose for your life, and within a few hours, have a step-by-step action plan for pursuing it?  The Path™ Workshop is based on Laurie Beth Jones’ best-selling book, The Path: Creating Your Mission Statement for Work and for Life.  It will help you define your mission and create a brief, powerful, and focused statement of purpose based on solid Christian and Biblical principles. 

This frequently-requested workshop is designed to be delivered in several different formats – multi-sessions, a full day session, or in a retreat setting.
