Finding Freedom

  • Wake up to Spiritual Warfare! Unleash the Power of Prayer!

    Lorie’s dynamic teaching will take you on a journey to freedom, through powerful storytelling and biblical teaching. Lorie shares the story of her family’s journey with three young adult children running from Jesus and caught up in addiction. This was a wake-up call in her life to the reality of spiritual warfare and the power of prayer. She will equip you to face four tactics of the enemy and provide you with powerful weapons of warfare to engage in battle, so that you too can FIND FREEDOM – right in the middle of the battle you are facing. This series is bringing hope and freedom to many, no matter their age or stage or the struggles they face.

    Sessions include:

    • Trapped

    • You are a House

    • Give up or Give In

    • The Power of Prayer

    This can be a 2 or 3 part series for a conference or retreat or condensed to a keynote for a special event.

FOUND

  • Lorie's messages from her book FOUND blend personal stories with biblical teachings on our identity as God's image bearers and how Christ restores what was lost in the garden. She emphasizes the transformative power of the gospel, showing that everything we seek is found in Jesus. Her impactful messages resonate with audiences in congregations, conferences, and leadership gatherings, offering a message of hope, redemption, and renewed purpose.

Do It Afraid

  • Learn to do it afraid!  Step through fear and into an adventurous life of faith.

    For General Audiences

    Fear holds you back from being the person God called you to be and doing the things He planned for you to do. Stop wasting time waiting for fear to leave. Just because we experience fear doesn’t mean that we can’t do what God asks of us– we must learn to do it afraid!

    Be inspired by rousing stories from Scripture and from ordinary people today and learn how you can live an extraordinary life of faith rather than fear. It’s time for us to move forward in spite of fear, to stick our toe in the water and step out with faith into the great adventure that awaits.

    This can be a 2 or 3 part series for a conference or retreat or condensed to a keynote for a special event.

Leadership Essentials

  • Emotional baggage & insecurity can be pitfalls in leadership

    No leader wants their leadership to die! However, there are many that do it to themselves. They are unaware of the #1 pitfall that will get them every time. Insecurity in a leader will eventually lead to their demise.

    We all struggle with emotional baggage and some level of insecurity. How can we spot it in ourselves? What can we do about it? How do we deal with those feelings of inadequacy or the feeling that others are out to get us?

    This lesson will take you to the scriptures and walk you through essential qualities every leader must build into their lives in order to avoid this pitfall.

Mentoring Essentials

  • Mentoring is a buzz word of our time – but it is not a new idea!

    This generation is longing for mentors to pour into their lives but many do not know how to do that. What should it look like? Is there a formula? What if I fail?

    Mentoring is done one life at a time! This workshop is interactive and informative. We will look at a few approaches to mentoring and equip the participates with a process of mentoring – not a program! This process can easily be applied one on one or even in a small group setting. It will address the challenges that can arise and offer ‘fence building techniques’.

    This workshop is excellent for churches considering a mentoring ‘program’.

  • We were deeply blessed by the time we had with Lorie sharing the Word through the message of FOUND. Ladies of all ages heard a message that spoke directly to them. Lorie’s teaching from FOUND brought them back to seeing that their true identity is in Jesus. No matter your age, where you are in your faith journey, where you’ve been, or what’s happening around you, FOUND has a word for you.
