My workshops and talks can empower you and your leaders to be more effective in your roles, provide better support to your congregations, and enhance the overall health and cohesion of your church community.​

​Each talk is 60 minutes and can be adjusted. A question and answer time afterwards is suggested.  Talks are ready to be given to your church staff team, specific congregations and groups e.g. women’s event, seniors’ gathering.

We consider models of change and challenges of personal transformation and examine God's role in transformation through sanctification. Discover key strategies for change and how faith & repentance enable this process.

“People in our churches are seeking a biblically informed understanding of a range of mental health related topics. Miriam is a warm, engaging, and articulate speaker who meets this need. Her presentations are deeply grounded in psychological research and thoughtful interaction with relevant Scripture. She speaks with an appropriate level of personal vulnerability and with an eye to the practical implications for those seeking to walk faithfully in God’s ways. I commend her seminars to those in church leadership."

Rev. Dr Keith Condie, Co-Director/Founder, Mental Health & Pastoral Care Institute
