Michelle is also available to come speak to your congregation, youth group, bible study, or women’s group. Her goal in speaking, as it is in writing, is to help hearers experience Jesus from a fresh perspective. She'd welcome the opportunity to serve the Lord and your group, imparting with passion and creativity the life-changing reality that Jesus is writing His stories in and with us...now. You can contact her at michelle@theparablelife.com to learn more about the Parablelife messages she has to share with your group or to get references from others who've heard her speak.

Michelle has no speaking fee (though honorariums are welcome). If your congregation or group is located outside of the Chicago/Milwaukee metropolitan area, she simply asks that transportation and (if necessary) lodging costs are covered by your group.
