Speaking

Looking for a Christian speaker for your next women’s event? As a women’s ministry director, Hilary Bernstein is used to talking about a wide variety of topics with a biblical perspective. She is happy to work with you about potential speaking topics.

She also can present biblically sound sessions about:

• Who Is Building Your Life?
  It can be so tempting to take all of life into your own hands. But when we try to control our own destinies, we overlook the Lord’s provision, protection, and power. In a session that explores truths from the Psalms of Ascent, Hilary Bernstein will help listeners understand the futility of trusting in themselves and the powerful change that happens through trusting God. In Hilary’s Who Is Building Your Life? keynote session, listeners will learn biblical truth from the Psalms, reflect on thought-provoking questions, and consider practical life applications.

• A Mother’s Sincere Faith
  The Bible includes many examples of moms, but not all should be put on a pedestal. There’s a lot to learn from some of the Bible’s fantastic mothers, though. In her inspiring keynote message, Hilary Bernstein illustrates biblical motherhood truths through the New Testament examples of Lois and Eunice. Perfect for Mother’s Day gatherings or mom groups, attendees will come away with a better understanding of Lois and Eunice as well as three practical takeaways for their own motherhood journeys.

• The Myth of Perfection
  We live in an imperfect world and deal with imperfection every single day. Yet so many of us believe that everything in our lives should be perfect. When we believe perfection is possible and adopt it as an expectations, it’s hard to face the fact that not only are we imperfect, but everyone and everything around us is imperfect too. In her keynote talk, The Myth of Perfection, Hilary Bernstein will help listeners take time to consider the life of Christ while also uncovering our quests for perfection, and our imperfect realities. By the end of her interactive session, Hilary will help listeners learn to live with transparency in a way that honors the Lord.
  
• Managing Your Home In the Middle of Homeschooling
  Homeschooling is hard work! When you’re trying to teach your children, it can be very difficult to look around at a messy home and not get discouraged. All of that mess, though, can be visual, physical proof that you are pouring your time and energy into what is truly important.  In the keynote Managing Your Home In the Middle of Homeschooling, Hilary Bernstein will encourage and equip parents to care for their homes even in the messiness of homeschooling through thoughtful reflection questions and practical action steps.
  
• Our Fruitful Lord
  Think that the fruit of the Spirit is a checklist for believers to accomplish? Think again! Using the attributes of the fruit of the Spirit, Hilary Bernstein will help listeners learn more about the Lord in her session, Our Fruitful Lord. With time for praise, prayer, and reflection, listeners will come away with a greater knowledge and appreciation of who God is.
  
• Celebrating Christmas with JOY
  Is your Christmas typically filled with a stress-inducing focus on gifts and get-togethers? In her keynote Celebrating Christmas with JOY, Hilary Bernstein will help listeners readjust their holiday focus so that they may celebrate Christmas with JOY … Jesus, Others, and You.
