Testimonials

“Sharon Jaynes brought a timely word to our community at our Inspire Ladies Conference!  It was presented in such a way that every woman was able to comprehend, receive and apply it to their everyday lives! The anointing of God was upon her to break off chains that had  held woman down for years  and allowed them to be set free and to be launched  into their destiny!”

Kathy Fox
Victory Church
Madisonville, KY

Sharon ministered to the hearts of our ladies in a way that made everyone feel safe and able to be vulnerable before the Lord. From that honest place, many received encouragement from the Lord through the wisdom of the Word to press on in their faith journey–and for some, that meant beginning a new relationship with Jesus as their Savior. We are grateful for Sharon using her God-given gift of communicating the Gospel at Kingdom Hearts.”

Lisa Pulliam
Kingdom Heart, Long Island, NY

When Sharon spoke at our women’s event, ladies came from eleven states and Canada to hear her. One hundred twenty-four churches in attendance! Over forty women accepted Christ for the first time. Sharon is funny, transparent, and engaging. We are still hearing how the women were impacted two years later!

Knox Ladies Seminar

As director of the Women’s Ministries of the Sacramento District Church of the Nazarene I had a lot of contact with Sharon in preparation for our conference. Our ladies were truly ministered to with Biblical truth, humor and a great dose of God’s anointing.

Patty Powers
Sacramento District Church of the Nazarene

Sharon is a woman of great integrity and a tremendously gifted speaker with a heart after God and the women He loves!  In over 20 years of teaming up with speakers to offer an annual women’s conference in New England, Sharon is clearly one of our very favorites.  She knows how to feed the hungry soul with life-changing and relevant Truth for both seekers and seasoned believers, and when we have been blessed by the transparent way she offers herself and her gifts, everyone can agree that the Holy Spirit has worked through her and in us! Follow-up for many women who come to us from a distance is always a concern, so we are thrilled to offer women an opportunity to continue to find encouragement through her excellent books and on-line devotions. Sharon is a joy to work with as she approaches her ministry with wisdom, humility, and a desire to come alongside. From the beginning she has responded in sweet friendship, and it is no wonder that women ask for her again and again!

Sylvia Wallis
Bloom Women’s Conference
Westfield Evangelical Free Church
Westfield, MA

We have had several nationally recognized speakers for our City Wide Women’s conferences over the past years, and it’s been repeatedly stated that Sharon Jaynes was our all time favorite. She is a solidly Bible based teacher, and both genuine and transparent in her delivery of the message she brings. Her message to us was one of life transformation and HOPE, amidst this sometimes crazy and chaotic world. Our Ladies are STILL quoting her, referencing her books, and following her through her Girlfriends in God website and personal blog. Sharon Jaynes is not only a wonderful speaker, but  has become a friend forever!

Sharon Greene
Redding Christian Fellowship
Redding, CA

“Ottawa was thrilled to have Sharon Jaynes join our women’s  conference as a feature speaker and share her heart from her life experiences and her spiritual journey through Biblical insights. Sharon is gifted with words that capture the audience’s attention as she paints  verbal pictures. Sharon becomes everyone’s friend and takes time to interact with women in person. One of the highlight “moments” of our conference was when Sharon challenged the women to write their needs on paper and do a commitment walk to the front of the sanctuary. It was a visual picture that none of us will ever forget. Her freshness and honesty make Sharon “real.”

Mary Ferguson
Metropolitan Bible Church
Ottawa, Canada

Sharon Jaynes is an extraordinary communicator with a wonderful balance of humor, scripture, stories and solid teaching done in an extremely winsome way! Her explanation of the Gospel was crystal clear and I loved the way she invited women to come to Jesus for salvation. Many responded! She seemed to be able to relate to everyone and the evaluation scores were sky high! One of the attendees wrote: “I heard the Lord speaking to me through Sharon Jaynes. It felt as if she could see into my soul!”

Candy Davison
Sandy Cove Ministries
Sandy Cove, MD

She leads audiences on a spiritual treasure hunt to discover their true identity and see themselves as God sees them. Her messages inspire women to grasp the truth that can set them free, transform pain into purpose and become the magnificent creatures that God planned all along. No matter where a woman is on her journey toward the heart of God, Sharon helps them take the next step closer.

Topics

Below you will see some typical topics and suggested event themes. However Sharon loves working with ministry coordinators to tailor each event to the unique needs and requests of the women. She loves brain- storming with leaders to make each event fresh, creative, impactful, and meaningful.

TAKE HOLD OF THE FAITH YOU LONG FOR: LET GO. MOVE FORWARD. LIVE BOLD

Most women long to experience the abundant, thriving faith that Jesus came to give. However, many get stuck in the mediocre mundane faith that is less than what they'd hoped for. Sharon compares our faith to a trapeze artist who swings out, swings back, and then on the third swing takes hold of another bar to per- form flips, twists, and summersaults. But what if he refused to let go of the first bar. He would be stuck hanging in the middle...which is where many of us are today. Paul wrote in Philippians 3:12, "I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me." In order to "take hold" of what Jesus has already taken hold of for us and placed in us, we have to "let go" of everything that holds us hostage and hinders us from doing so. We'll learn how to let go of insecurity and take hold of our true identity; let go of inadequacy and take hold of God's sufficiency; let go of the tendency to compare and take hold of our uniqueness; let go of a painful past and take hold of a purposeful future. Sharon camps out fireside with Moses at the burn- ing bush to answer four questions that we all must answer to experience life to the full. She'll show you how to turn stumbling blocks from the past into stepping stone in the present. Women leave ready to let go of all that hinders them from living life to the full, move forward to do all that God has fashioned them to do, and live bold in the adventurous faith.

THE TRANSFORMING POWER OF GRATITUDE

Nothing closes our eyes shut to experiencing God's presence like in gratitude, and the cure comes in cap- sules of praise, thanksgiving, and a grateful heart. In this session Sharon shows how gratitude aligns your perspective with God's truth, awakens your senses to experience God's presence, affects those around you in positive ways, and adjusts your attitude to experience joy in all things. You'll learn how gratitude changes the lens through which you see your circumstances as problems grow smaller and God grows larger. Jonah taught us that the way out of the belly of the whale is praise. If a woman feels far from God, Sharon shows how praise and thanksgiving is the ramp to get back on the right road. WARNING: in this session, gratitude will be very contagious and each woman is sure to leave a carrier. (This is a single, stand-alone session, but can be combined with other topics. It works well as a final session for a multi-ses- sion retreat or conference.)

LIVING FULLY AND FREE – LIVING THE LIFE YOU’VE ALWAYS WANTED... THE LIFE JESUS CAME TO GIVE

Based on Sharon's books, Becoming Spiritually Beautiful and I'm Not Good Enough...and Other Lies Women Tell Themselves.
Jesus said, "I have come that they might have life, and have it to the full," (John 10:10). So what keeps us from experiencing that abundant life that we all long for? What keeps us from living in the freedom that Jesus gave His life for? What keeps us from entering our own personal Promised Land? In this session, Sharon shares how a full calendar does not mean a full life. She shares how feelings of inferiority, insecurity, and inadequacy can stand in the way of experiencing all that God has planned for those who love Him, (1 Corinthians 2:9). However, when we believe the truth of who we are, what we have, and where we are as a child of God, He turns our "I can't" into "God can." This liberating seminar also includes a session on Leaving the Past Behind and Taking Every Thought Captive. While this topic works well as a stand along keynote session, it is most effective as a multi-session conference or retreat. This conference is similar to Becoming Spiritually Beautiful, but wrapped in a different package presentation.

THE POWER OF A WOMAN’S WORDS

Based on Sharon's book, The Power Of A Woman's Words.
Words... one of the most significant forces in the universe... can be used for good or evil. Our words can change the course of a day... the course of a life. They become the mirror in which others see themselves. Our words can instill confidence into a child's heart, encourage a husband to accomplish great feats, fan the dying embers of a friend's smoldering dreams, cheer on fellow believers to run the great race of life with endurance, and draw the lost to Christ. Sharon inspires women to use words in positive ways as she ex- plores the power we possess, the people we impact, the potential for change, and the profound possibili- ties when we harness this mighty force and use it to speak life to those around us.

TRUSTING GOD

Coordinates with Sharon's book, Trusting God (Co-authored with Gwen Smith and Mary Southerland)
"Just trust me." Those are the words we hear in movies just before someting bad is about to happen. And yet, we are told to trust God. In a culture where we tend to take control of our own lives, trusting God has become a religious platitude rather than a life-changing attitude. We say it, but do we mean it? And what does trusting God look like? In this session Shaon shows women how trusting God turns pitiful into power- ful, fretful into faithful, and a worrier into a warrior. 1 Corinthians 2:9 says, "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived all that God has planned for those who love Him." And when we trust God, those plans become an experiential reality in our lives! hang on to your hats! Trusting God takes you to amazing places!
This session is perfect for a one-time keynote or a multiple-session event.

DREAMS OF A WOMAN - GOD'S PLAN FOR FULFILLING YOUR DREAMS

Based on Sharon's book, The 5 dreams of Every Woman.
The desires have been there for as long as we can remember: to be beautiful, to be a bride, to be a mother, to be a cherished daughter, and to have a best friend. But for many, life took a different turn than they expected. In this session, Sharon challenges women to dust off their hopes and dare to dream again - through God's eyes. She shares stories of both biblical and contemporary women: their broken dreams, interrupted dreams, and most importantly, restored dreams. Women realize that God still has dreams for their lives and has not forgotten them. She gives six steps to discovering God's plans for our lives and fills them with courage to take the first steps of faith. Sharon encourages women to place their hands firmly in His - take a deep breath and begin the exciting journey to a place they thought they'd never find: the dream God planned for them all along.
This topic is a perfect for retreats with multiple sessions or as one stand alone keynote.
