Julia Harrell

Screen Shot 2017-07-30 at 11.13.34 PM.png

Washington, DC metro area; willing to travel pretty much wherever if travel expenses are covered. I do require some lead time for significant travel. 

Presentation Topics:
Virtue education and it’s role and place in the larger topic of character education.
More specific topics include virtue and storytelling, the role of literature in moral/ethical formation, and the role of virtue in a diverse and pluralistic culture.
Ideal Audience:
Kids/teens AND parents/teachers/catechists. Obviously, the approach and details of the content differ depending on the age of my audience. When speaking with a younger audience, I love to talk about what virtue is, why it’s the key to an exciting and fulfilling life, and how to “train” like a saint. I’m also excited about speaking to adults to work with children and teens about the ways they can form them in virtue, and why that’s so important.

Kansas City area and willing to travel within an hour radius of this metro area.

Topics: Every presentation includes a captivating story about one of the glorious saints. The saint’s story is then applied to whatever topic I am asked to speak upon. Prayer life as a busy mom (Saint Zelie Martin), First Communion/Honesty (Blessed Imelda Lambertini), and Forgiveness (Saint Maria Goretti) are just some of the many topics I can present to your group. I speak to adults and/or children. Interested in a family talk/activity? How about an “Evening with the Saints” where I will tell a few saint stories the whole family will enjoy and also have a couple of fun saint activities to do?

Melody Lyons

Northeast Ohio; willing to travel.

Presentation Topics:

Restoring Joy to Your Homeschool
Homeschooling During Difficult Times
Becoming the Healer in Your Home
Self-Care in a Life of Christian Service
My Conversion Story
Blogging for Christ: Monetizing Without Selling Your Soul
God’s Design for Our Bodies: A Natural Approach to Family Wellness
Ideal Audience:

My ideal audience is anyone open to the healing power of Jesus Christ in their lives… and perhaps even those who have never considered the possibility of Christ as Healer. My message resonates strongly with women who are struggling in the midst of the married vocation; but I have found that men are also extremely receptive for themselves, their families, and their wives.

One surprisingly receptive audience is young adults who have not yet discerned their vocation. Many are already experiencing a spiritual, physical, and emotional need for healing and deeply desire to enter into a life of service as healthy and joyful people.
