Speaking

Author and speaker Jody Allen encouraging women during a speaking event

I share openly about my own journey—the heartaches, the lessons, and even the funny parts along the way—because I believe God uses our stories to remind us we’re not alone. My hope is that women leave feeling lighter, encouraged, and ready to experience God in new ways. I want every woman to walk away refreshed and glad she came.

More than anything, I want women to know they don’t have to carry their struggles alone. God meets us in the middle of the hard places and walks with us. My heart is to remind women that even in the darkest chapters, their story is still being written—and just because we live through a bad chapter doesn’t mean our story will have a bad ending.

 Speaking Topics

  • Life doesn’t always turn out the way we thought it would. In this honest and hope-filled session, women will be encouraged to stop living stuck and start moving forward again. Through practical encouragement and biblical truth, women will leave with renewed hope and the reminder that God still has purpose even in unexpected seasons.

  • Many Christian women are quietly carrying the devastating impact of a husband’s pornography use. They feel betrayed, confused, and alone, afraid to tell anyone and unsure what to do next.

    Jody knows that place because she lived it. She understands the fear of speaking up, the uncertainty of what comes next, and the courage it takes to stop hiding and begin moving forward.

    Through her personal story, biblical truth, and practical guidance, Jody helps women understand that they don’t have to stay stuck in fear and secrecy. They can find their voice, take healthy next steps, and discover the courage to live brave, no matter how their story unfolds.

  • Busyness, disappointment, hurt, and even fear can quietly create distance between us, God, and the people around us. In this honest and practical talk, Jody helps women recognize what may be keeping them disconnected and discover how to move toward deeper connection with Christ and authentic community with others.

  • We all have something we’re scared of. Spiders, snakes, germs. No one wants to see a snake in their garage. But some fears can keep us from living and being who God created us to be. Fears that paralyze us and keep us from living the life God has for us.

    How can we live in this season of our lives with courage instead of fear? For us to overcome our fears and live brave, we must change the way we think. We’ll learn a practical way to win the battle between our ears, freeing us to live the adventure God has for us and the life we really want.

Workshops

  • If you were stranded on an island with nothing but a Bible, paper, and pencil, would you know how to engage the Bible to hear from God? If your answer is no, you’re not alone. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to study the Word in a way you’ll hear from God and apply scripture to your life. If you are looking for a break from fill-in-the-blank Bible studies, this is a nice way to change things up.

  • Do you ever get tired of praying the same prayers? Or feel like your prayers hit the ceiling? In this workshop, you’ll learn how to shake up your prayer life by praying God’s Word back to Him. Let’s pray prayers God loves to answer.

  • God is looking for people just like us who are willing to stand in the gap for others. Will you be one of those people? In this class, we’ll explore what it means to intercede, how to pray with purpose, and practical ways to make intercessory prayer a meaningful part of everyday life.

  • Have you ever thought scripture memory was only for super spiritual people? Me too. It’s not. You’re not too old, too distracted, or too anything to commit scripture to memory. Join me as we talk about the nuts and bolts of memorizing scripture.

Let’s work together.
