"We were blessed by the truths
that Leslie presented so clearly. We received numerous comments on how helpful, practical, powerful and timely Leslie’s messages were. She was able to share deep truths of God’s Word regarding how to live a life that pleases God in the midst of difficult life circumstances in a way that people could understand and relate to. I couldn’t have been more satisfied with how things went. I am blessed for having met her."

"We highly recommend Leslie as a speaker. During her stay with us, Leslie developed a wonderful rapport with the women, whatever their age or stage in life. She has excellent verbal skills and seasons her talk with solid scriptural truths, personal transparency, and bits of humor. Following our program, Leslie remained accessible to the women as long as needed, answering questions and signing books. Leslie received an overwhelming positive affirmation when we asked for a written evaluation of our evening. We recommend Leslie without reservation."

"The beautiful blending of the practical and the spiritual application was just what I knew our women needed to hear. You delivered exactly what you said you would and it was so helpful to our women. They not only walked away with a new love to honor and serve God with their lives, but also with some new practical tools of application to be the “best version of themselves.” They loved you! They couldn’t wait for each session to begin and were sorry to see the weekend come to a close."Glenda HarrDirector of Women’s Ministries & Church AssimilationFirst Covenant Church - Sacramento, CA


"Leslie lovingly tackles topics many would prefer to avoid such as depression, surviving difficult and/or dangerous relationships, body-image issues, dealing with marital conflicts, and humility.
