Speaking · Bonnie Jean Schaefer

Do not just give them something to hear. Give them something to enter.

Bonnie brings Start with WHO to events, interviews, and rooms where people need more than motivation. They need language, courage, and one faithful next step.

Bonnie Jean Schaefer

Start with WHO

One message, adapted for your audience: before people can finish faithfully, they need to know

  • who God is,
  • who He made them to be,
  • and what race is actually theirs to run.

A named problem and one action.

Every session helps people

  1. 01name where they are stuck,
  2. 02see their life through a God-authored story,
  3. 03and choose one faithful step they can take this week.

Not a feeling.

Not a reminder to believe in themselves.

A next step they can tell someone about on Tuesday.

Depending on your audience, Start with WHO can lean toward

  • faithful finishing,
  • identity and calling,
  • discouragement in the middle miles,
  • creative obedience,
  • building in the margins of a full-time life,
  • or finishing without making the finish line an idol.

Available as

  • Keynote,
  • workshop,
  • breakout,
  • retreat session,
  • podcast interview,
  • or staff/team session.

Tell me about your audience.

Four things help us know quickly if this is a fit.

  1. 01Date, or the window you are working inside.
  2. 02Who is in the room, and roughly how many.
  3. 03Format: keynote, breakout, workshop, retreat, staff session, or interview.
  4. 04What you want them doing differently afterward. This one matters most.
