Presentations that Equip & Inspire

MY SPEAKING

You will laugh, cry, and learn to apply God’s Word to your everyday circumstances.

I’m a Bible teacher who loves to study and talk about Jesus. When speaking, I use scriptures, stories, and sometimes songs to lead people to encounter God so they can experience the fullness of His abiding presence.

While I much prefer teaching people in person, I’ve learned to speak every bit as passionately to a camera when necessary. Click over to my Speaking Topics page to see samples of live events and studio recordings.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

DALE OQUIST

Lead Pastor, Peoples Church, Fresno, CA

‘Shawna is someone who I have come to know not only as a gifted communicator but also as a person who strives to hear and be led by the Holy Spirit. I think highly not only of her talents and gifts, but also of her and her family.”

JONI OQUIST

“Shawna is a gifted communicator who has a unique ability to mine truth from Scripture and share it in a way that captivates and challenges the listener.”

KAREN TELLALIAN

“Shawna writes with an engaging blend of creativity, sensitivity and clarity. Her mastery of the craft of writing together with her transparent style captures the hearts and minds of her readers. I enjoy reading what Shawna writes.”

JOE AVILA

National Director, Events and Sports Camps, Prison Fellowship

“While planning an Easter evangelism event in the world’s largest women’s prison, knowing it would impact hundreds of women, I immediately knew Shawna had to be the one leading our worship.”

Barb Boswell

Woodland Presbyterian Church, Woodland, WA

Shawna spoke at our annual Community-Wide Women’s Conference and the line I consistently heard from our women was, “Best conference ever.” Shawna is professional, prepared, and delightful.

Leilani Montagne

Bayside Church, Kingston, WA

I found Shawna to be down to earth, relevant, and someone who brought a significant amount of spiritual depth in her sharing.

Maybritt Ongna

Evangelical Free Church, Green Valley, AZ

The response was heartwarming and she was able to work well within the time frame she was given. We couldn’t have been more pleased and would gladly welcome her back.

Janet Ott

Sierra Vista Presbyterian Church, Oakhurst, CA

She is a delightful presence with a depth of talent in many areas… Her messages are practical and you leave ready for a closer walk with God.

Cindy Hoffman

Her teaching from God’s Word is solid and practical. Shawna’s contagious smile not only makes you feel at ease in her presence, but also is evidence of the joy she experiences from her walk with the Lord.

Debra Hodges

I pray that other ladies’ groups have the opportunity to hear you speak and learn from your gentle teaching and leading.

Georgette Goodrich

Smith River Baptist Church, Smith River, CA

I would like to share one comment I received from one of our church ladies after she heard Shawna speak. She said, “Where did you find this lady? She is a phenomenal speaker.” I can say that it was a “God thing!” 

Robin Brown

Hebron Baptist Church, Dacula, GA

I knew you were going to be good for us; I just wasn’t prepared for how good. Your voice, your stories, and your scripture knowledge all wrapped together make an impressive package that God is truly using to reach the hearts of women.

Kris Williamson

Carlsbad Community Church, Carlsbad, CA

This is the 12th year of the Christmas Outreach and everyone said, hands down, this was the best one ever! The women want Shawna back—they love her, her message, her song!

Peggy Condos

If you are looking for a great speaker and a wonderful woman of God, I highly recommend her for any retreat or event you are planning to have.
