St. Teresa of Calcutta said, “God has called us not to be successful, but to be faithful.” Yet more often than not, we get caught up seeking success according to our own designs and losing sight of eternity.

This talk is perfect for small groups, large groups, conference keynotes, and more.

Our world is filled with misconceptions, myths, and lies about money. But what does the Church have to say about it? Jesus said “Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of God,” but does that mean we ought to reject money?

What if God is calling each of us to grow in holiness through money? How did the saints handle their finances and transform the culture surrounding them? Join us as we explore what real financial discipleship looks like and the four tools that keep any level of wealth in good health.

This talk is perfect for conferences and events. It can be delivered in one session or split and lengthened into three separate sessions.

How Catholic Families Manage Their Money Amidst Uncertain Times

If there’s one thing we can count on, it’s change. None of us have complete control of our financial lives…and while this could be a crippling reality that stirs anxiety, we’d like to pose how it can serve as a springboard for peace.

Join us as we examine 3 secrets that Catholic families use to manage their money amidst uncertain times.

This talk is designed for married couples and can be given in one single session or split into three separate sessions, great for a parish mission.

What does it mean to be a good steward? Join us as we unpack the parable of The Good Steward from scripture and apply its foundational concepts to our modern times.

This is a 4-part workshop that is perfect for a half, full, or multi day event, conference, or parish mission.

In the four sessions we clarify why and how good stewards invite God into their money, save money, earn money, and use virtuous habits to manage their money well for a lifetime.

Becoming a

Proverbs 31 Woman

To become a woman who embodies the virtue, beauty, discipline of the Proverbs 31 woman is a high calling indeed. Her qualities are both inspiring and convicting. Did you know that many of her qualities and most prized attributes relate to money? This was a woman who knew how to manage her family finances par excellence. Many women don’t feel equipped to manage their family finances. Or they don’t desire it because they dislike math or budgets.

What if we as women were uniquely crafted by God to be at the heart of the money entrusted to our family? In this talk, Amanda breaks down the lessons we can all take away from the beloved Proverbs 31 woman and apply them into our lives today.

This talk is for women only and is perfect for women’s conferences, events, or retreats.
