Christian Speaking Programs
Tears, laughter, and sighs fill the room when Janet draws her audiences with the power of inspiration woven through the tapestry of God’s truth.
Her thirty-sixty minute keynote presentations can be tailored to topics specific to groups - retreats, luncheons, women's breakfasts, conferences, or any special event.
Note to Pastors: Janet has been invited to address congregations and give her testimony as an example to illustrate teachings such as “Christ as the Anchor in the Midst of Storms,” or “God’s Power to Heal,” or “What Does It Mean to Have a Heart for God When Facing Hardships?”
Her messages coincide with the contents of her book, Trials of Today, Treasures for Tomorrow: Overcoming Adversities in Life.
Presentation Topics:
God is Greater than Your Pain (Janet’s most popular keynote presentation)
Janet’s own experience with triumph over adversity—blindness, resulting in emotional and spiritual turmoil, shines through in this message. In her dynamic style, she ignites the passion to triumph, the inspiration to thrive and the insight to follow through.
This message is perfect to stir hearts at women’s conferences, luncheons, Mother's Day breakfasts, or women's retreats.
Marriage—Bliss, Blah, or Burn-Out
Although each of the above can be true at one time or another, Janet brings a fresh approach to rekindling love and passion in a marriage where gashes of pain threaten to end it.
Her marriage’s triumph over physical impairments, financial hardships, loss of a child and infidelity bring unique power to her message.
Her personal anecdotes illustrated with candor and passions bring a proven path to reach reconciliation.
This presentation is excellent for marriage conferences, engaged couple's conferences and women’s church groups.
Healing, Peace and Laughter—Are They Possible After Grief?
What happens when our world is shattered by the tragedy of losing a loved one? Janet speaks of her own journey of enduring the murder of her 19-year-old son by showing the application of God’s Word to usher peace, acceptance and joy.
Whether losing a loved one, a friend, losing a job, or losing our freedom because of a physical illness, Janet walks her audience through the path to victory to a renewed life.
This message will encourage audiences in women’s conferences, congregations or special events.
Freedom of Forgiveness
Is there a spot in your heart labeled, "This, I Could Never Forgive?” Failure to forgive deep hurts clamps heavy chains of bitterness and anger around the heart. With compelling examples, Janet shows how to remain free from this grip as she and her husband chose to forgive the man who took their son’s life.
This presentation will bring hope to any women's event, youth gathering or church congregation.
The Soothing Spa for the Soul
This series is designed especially for women’s retreats. The first message centers on the need to detoxify the heart— remove insecurities, destructive thoughts, misconceptions and negative self-talk.
The second message highlights applications of God’s Word to heal past wounds by spreading the lotion of God’s truth, reassurance and confidence; and adding the fragrance of His promises.
And the final step—to put on the jewels of courage, dignity, significance and meaning.

And I want to give thanks and praise to God for allowing you to come at just the right time, in the right season, with just the right message to empower and catapult women toward their divine purposes in life through your most riveting testimony. You are just the person that any well-educated woman with a teachable spirit would want to sit under for mentorship.

You are a phenomenal woman with a phenomenal message.”--Sybil M.

“Janet takes life, God, love, tragedy, and humor, and weaves a tapestry of reality. God is not the fringe; He is in every thread of the tapestry that she invites everyone to witness when she speaks. During her testimony she holds your ears, your mind, and your heart. I too am drawn into her connection with God, and she draws me closer to Him, to a desire to connect with Christ as she has connected!”--Mary R.
“Janet Eckles’ message was riveting. She reminded us when adversity or tragic experiences happen in our lives, we can come forth broken, questioning, paralyzed, and unable to move or we can come forth as gold – looking to God to be our strength, our very present help in time of trouble. Janet gave her own examples through stories and parables. She spoke with humor, sorrow, joy, and candor. I laughed, I cried, I understood, I was moved. After she was finished speaking, I wanted to hug her, hug my family and hug my fellowman. She inspires, uplifts, and most importantly, points all to Christ…”--Gigi D.
“After hearing this testimony, it helped me put my life into perspective. Jan is a true inspiration to me. Nothing in life can be insurmountable if you have God with you, and Jan’s testimony definitely tells that story beautifully.”--Elaine M.
“Thank you for sharing about the obstacles you have had to overcome in your life. Many have commented to us that your talk affected the way they see their lives. You inspired all of us to lean more on the Lord, to see beyond our challenges, and to press on toward His goal for our lives. We are all eagerly awaiting your return. One gentleman who has been reading your book, Trials of Today, Treasures for Tomorrow, said that he read the first 11 chapters without being able to put the book down. He said you are one of the best writers he has read in a long time. We agree with him! You are a precious example of shining the Lord’s light into the lives of others. Thank you for your witness and for being Yeshua / Jesus with skin on! “

“I have my faith (Catholic) and the strong values my parents taught me. All the homilies in church over the years and the religion classes and prayers and nice little sayings that I have heard and have tried to live and prayed to understand, finally came together when I listened to Janet Eckles speak. It was like that one piece of puzzle that was missing or the light switch that finally went on in my head or that "being born again" that other people talked about that I used to long for. I believe that I was meant to come to that event so that my prayer of really knowing God and really being at peace would be answered. I will always be grateful I came to listen to Janet.”--Marie U.
“…you amaze and inspire me. To hear your pain and suffering change to joy and hope is truly a blessing. Your knowledge of the Bible is incredible as well. I was also moved how you took the time to talk to all who wanted to shake your hand afterwards.”--Lynn H.
