Speaking

Talk Topics

I’ve given scores of talks through the years. Below are a few of the more popular ones. Each can be modified to meet a groups’ need. Some are also parts of larger retreat packages. For more information on me as a speaker, send an email with your name, organization, event, expected number of attendees, and budgeted speaker fee to caryn@carynrivadeneira.com. Hope to hear from you soon!

  • Finding Yourself in the Psalms: Inspired by Known and Loved: 52 Devotions from the Psalms, this talk explores what the Psalms have to say about who we are and who God is, and how we were made to relate to one another.
  • Grumble Hallelujah. This talk is based on my book, Grumble Hallelujah: Learning to Love Your Life Even When It Lets You Down. We talk about navigating disappointments in life and how to move from a place of frustration to one where we love life and life it as God would want us.
  • Grumble Merry Christmas. Also based on ideas from my book, in this talk I share how I’ve learned to manage my own expectations of the “perfect Christmas” and the “real” beauty and Spirit of Christmas I discovered in the disappointments and unexpected.
  • Mama’s Got a Fake ID! The Secrets to Revealing the Real You. This talk gives an overview of the “identity crisis” many moms face, gives reasons why God wants you to reveal your true identity, and offers a few suggestions to living as the complete woman he created you to be.
