Refresh. Restore. Revolutionize.
An old Chinese proverb says, “A bit of fragrance always clings to the hand that gives a rose.” In The Hand That Gives a Rose, Janell offers four sweet-smelling secrets that are promised to refresh, restore, and revolutionize the way you live your life: The Hand that Gives a Rose: Modeling a Passionate Relationship with God; A Hand on the Shoulder: Modeling a Compassionate Heart for Others; A Hand over the Heart: Modeling Virtuous Character; Hand-in-Hand: Modeling a Helping Hand. Her desire is to change frazzle into dazzle by making simple little changes to your day-to-day routine. Retreat Suggestion: Can’t you see & smell vases full of roses all over the event? Janell concludes the retreat with her fun,"Variety of Vases" finale! Always a memorable event.

Take the Leap and Trust God Completely!
Trusting God is much like a freefall. Recently, Janell summoned the courage to blindly leap from an airplane to experience the exhilaration of freefall! So often, life thrusts us out of our comfort zones—and into the vast blue skies of utter dependence on God, which can bring sheer panic. Questions arise in those momentary periods of the vast unknown: Where is God in all this? Will I come through this okay? Does God even care that I am hurting? Conference topics include: The Reckless Leap to God’s Side, Deploy the Parachute of Prayer, Iron Out the Wrinkles of Worry, The Danger Zone of Doubt, Freedom Through Forgiveness, Tandem Trust, Unclench the Tight Fist of Control and Rise to New Heights of Hope. 

A Christian Women's Guide to Dealing with Mean Women in the Church
After years of competitive dance and beauty pageants, Janell writes, “For most of my life, I stood in front of mirrors. That’s what dancers do. I listened to other people dictate how I should walk, talk, sit, stand, dress, wear my hair and live my life. Programmed by the opinion of others and the constant comparison to other young women competing for the coveted crown, I honestly did not know who I was—on the inside. Not until Jesus Christ came into my life, that is!” This tough expose on a tough subject is a story Janell resisted writing for years, but recently felt compelled to tackle.
            Once again, Janell takes a difficult subject, mingles hilarious personal anecdotes, sprinkles loads of God's love, & creates a life-changing conference/message that results in healing and hope! Conference topics include: Halos with Horns: Christianity is not a Competition; Hollywood or Holywood: Is There a Difference?; The Wicked Witch of the West and The Evil Stepmother: Every Good Story has a Foe; Tiptoe Through the Tulips: The Great Denominational Divide, and others.
Janell’s personal passion for journaling is introduced in a 30-minute workshop session, “He(ART) Journaling.”

Breaking Barriers, Building Unity, & Bringing Joy to Others
"When women gather in an indomitable spirit of unity, an extraordinary power releases, enabling extraordinary movements of God to begin." -Introduction, p.2
This riveting teaching can be reduced to one question, "Why can't we all get along?" Janell desires to open a much-needed, often-avoided, healthy conversation on the subject of spiritual unity--a subject near and dear to the heart of Jesus (John 17) and the Apostle Paul (Ephesians 4, Philippians 2), and of countless thinkers throughout the ages. Based on Janell's astounding 1am-early- morning discovery of the scout bee's passionate waggle dance, conferees will be up and waggling within minutes! Topics: Buzzing In, Buzzing Out: Flying Across the World; Ready to Waggle?; Life Lessons from Inside a Box of Bees; Bring on the Baking Soda: The Sharp Sting of Disunity; Guarding the Hive: Invaders Beware; Comm(unity): Honey Production at It's Best. Janell heralds this warning, though. This conference WILL activate a unified community of women energized to effectively impact the world with the message of the gospel! Every woman will leave with a back full of spiritual pollen!

Know Your God-Created Identity, Experience Over-the-Top Joy and Live in Oh-So-Great Freedom in Christ!
This riveting weekend conference, based on Hebrews 6:1 (MSG), is an evangelical event designed to lead young women on an intense discovery of their God-created identity. It will answer the question, “Who is the source of my identity?” Knowing who they are in Christ is the antidote to society’s alluring voices, the secret to spiritual success, the key to walking in complete freedom and the empowering truth that will enable them to remain constant in their faith. Once women, both young and old, understand whose they are, they will know who they are, thus able to resist the persistent barrage of cultural expectations and live in the freedom Christ—wholly and unabashedly. Sessions include: What Happened in That Garden, Anyhow? No More Bedazzling for Me! Seriously? Are You Kidding Me? Give Me Some Windex: I Need to Clean My Mirror! I Need Some Boxes: I'm Cleaning out My Closet!

Develop Rock-Solid Faith, Rock-Solid Families, & Rock-Solid Relationships
In tumultuous times of economic decline, fractured families, catastrophic weather, and a culture where spirituality is dressed in gray, Janell offers twelve foundational stones on which to build a rock-solid family, rock-solid relationships, and rock-solid faith. Somehow she takes a serious subject, adds loads of fun interactive activities, offers a candid peek into her own family life, and tops it off with strong scriptural application-making the entire event an opportunity for real change.

_"Your presentation of the Waggle Dance was both entertaining and enlightening. 'The concept just makes sense,' stated one attendee. 'I loved her program!' exclaimed another. The ladies are still talking about it, even on Facebook. Your delivery was so engaging that I lost all track of time. By any measure you are a very effective speaker and educator!"
-Cassandra Frye Lowe, Women's Ministry Director

"You may not remember me, but my mom and I introduced ourselves to you late one night while you were working on your power point as we were staying at the same hotel the weekend you spoke at the Women's Conference at JMU! Well, I was really empowered and encouraged by the words that you spoke about letting God's plan unfold in your life. As I've been reading the Bible and praying to seek a more intimate relationship with Jesus, Proverbs 31:8 stuck out like a sore thumb. God has shown me that it's time for me to join in the fight against injustice."
