Shannon Upton

Time management is the cornerstone of all organization—after all, how can you clean out that closet if you can’t figure out when to do it? And in terms of spiritual clutter, few things keep a woman’s mind and heart more distracted than persistent feelings of being in a hurry, or being too overwhelmed to get to the things that matter most in her life. Our time here is a precious gift from God, and with intentionality and planning, you can make the most of that gift! Shannon will share about goal setting (and realizing that some goals—even great, worthy Christian goals—can wait). Then she’ll guide you through specific, adaptable ways to tackle your goals, prioritize tasks, and enjoy your gift of time.

Often, we women have spiritual clutter about our appearances that keep us from fully enjoying each day. Whether you love to shop or love your sweats, this is the talk for you! Shannon will challenge the women in your group to take at look at their wardrobes in the light of Jesus. She’ll start by looking at what God says about what we wear (and it’s a lot more than what you might guess!). Then she’ll help you take your wardrobe up a notch by clearing out, filling out, and laying out the clothes in your closet. By the end of this session, you’ll be excited to feel uplifted and confident each day as you dress your body—and your spirit.

We know that our homes are a gift from God, and that He calls us to show His love through hospitality… but it’s hard to be “the hostess with the mostest.” With Shannon’s help, you can host get-togethers without all of that overwhelming prep work—and without developing a weary, frazzled spirit by the time the party is over! Shannon will start with a practical, Biblical view on hosting, then discusses organizing get-togethers where Jesus’ presence can be felt. Allow her to encourage the ladies in your group to deepen their relationships and further the Kingdom of Heaven through hospitality!

This presentation is Shannon’s story. More inspirational than educational, “My Song” is a thirty-minute keynote presentation about living in Christ’s abundance. You’ll learn how the Lord took Shannon on journey from a clinical anxiety disorder to a speaking and writing ministry. You’ll also hear her main ministry message about how we all have spiritual clutter that we can clear out with a little organization and a lot of prayer. You’ll leave this talk feeling uplifted, blessed, and ready to clear out your spiritual clutter!

Note: This presentation is for any Christian audience—including the guys. “My Song” is perfect as a stand-alone presentation, or it will easily combine with one or more of Shannon’s other presentations to create a wonderful women’s retreat.
