Chocolate Cake Marriage Series: Got Respect?    (50 minutes)

All the love languages in the world will fall on deaf ears if we don’t speak the language of respect to our husbands. We all know we are supposed to show respect, but what does that look like practically?  Is rearranging the dishwasher after he’s helped with the dishes disrespectful?  What about checking the speedometer while he’s driving?  Many attendees wrote in to say that they experienced an overnight positive change in their marriages after applying the principles they learned from this seminar.

Women have walked away from this talk saying, “I wish I learned this earlier.”  With transparency and fun word pictures, Michelle delivers this message with humor and grace.



We Need to Remove 1/2 His Brain – Could You Trust God? (55 minutes)

Beauty from Ashes (45 minutes)

Then, along comes her own Boaz and brings redemption. Hope for the hopeless!

You will come away equipped to face whatever God allows into your life as you find out how to lean on Him and access His strength.


‘Twas the Night Before Christmas (50 minutes)

But what if you don’t think you are going to like what happens next?
