What Listeners Say
Speaks to the Heart…
"...The mission of our event is to proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and encourage women in their walk of faith. Jan's message to our group accomplished both facets of our mission. She shared God's message of Life, Hope, and Love in an intimate and effective way. Jan speaks from the heart to hearts. She draws from God's Word and shares scripture throughout her presentation. Jan speaks with passion - passion for her Lord, her family, and people. Her personal anecdotes were often humorous and always engaging. The points she made in her presentation were very well developed and paved the way for a powerful conclusion."

Riveting and Moving...
"Jan Eckles' talk was riveting. She reminded us when adverse and 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. Jan gave her examples through stories and parables. Jan 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 fellow man. She inspires, uplifts, and most importantly, points all to Christ…"

Pain turned to joy…
"…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. Thank you for your inspiration."
--Lynn M.
She presents the missing piece…
"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 Jan 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 meeting so that my prayer of really knowing God and really being at peace would be answered."

She weaves a tapestry…
"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.
She highlights His redemption…
"He is a Redeemer; I stand in awe of how He is redeeming the circumstances of your life to His Glory! I thank God
for the beautiful way you share your love for your Lord and bring others face to face with the reality of their need
for our Savior/their Savior."
