Sample Teaching Videos
Kathy Howard spoke at our Women’s Retreat and she was remarkable. Before the retreat, she prayed diligently for it and the women who would be attending, which made it feel like she was one of the team. At our event, Kathy was very tentative to the ladies, passionate, and even offered one-on-one time as the occasions arose. She took part in our group discussions, ate lunch with us, and worshipped with us. During her messages, Kathy shared stories all the women could relate to. More importantly in her messages, was the evidence of Kathy’s knowledge of scripture. She was an absolute delight!

Kathy’s Topics

Heirloom
Want to leave a legacy that matters for eternity? In this keynote talk from Psalm 78 Kathy shares generational stories and practical tips that will help you spiritually impact your children and their children.
The Game of Life
Do you long for peace? Contentment? Real community? The world around us only fosters anxiety, discontent, and isolation. Kathy will take you on a journey through Philippians to discover God’s path to find true peace in an anxious world, lasting contentment in a world of the perpetual upgrade, and true community in a world of isolation. This topic can be given in one, two, or three sessions.
Unshakeable Faith
We will experience difficulties and trials in this life. The question is will they knock us down or will we stand firm? In “Unshakeable Faith,” Kathy dives into the lives of Peter and Paul and shares foundational principles from Scripture to help women prepare for the hard times. Messages include “Live by Faith,” “Stand on Truth,” and “Rest in Grace.” This topic works great for a weekend retreat with three large group sessions.
Lavish Grace
God doesn’t merely give us enough grace. He lavishes it on us with abundance! Kathy will help you discover God’s overflowing grace in your everyday life and will challenge you to extend grace to those around you. “Lavish Grace” can be adapted for a one, two, or three-session format. This topic works great for a retreat setting.
Deep Roots and Abundant Fruit
God longs for us to thrive in our relationship with Him. He wants us to know Him deeply. He desires for our lives to produce fruit that lasts. This two-session topic explores the life of true discipleship. Session one based on Psalm 1, discovers the benefits of grounding our lives in God’s Word. Session two explores Jesus’ definition of discipleship in Luke 9:23 and how following Him leads to fruitful lives. This topic is perfect for a one-day conference with two large group sessions.
