Talks and Teachings
I am Katie Wilson and I am so glad you are here. You are invited and welcomed.
I am a child of God, first and foremost, but I live out this privilege as a writer, speaker, painter, mentor, mother, sister, wife, friend and servant. As I continue to live in awe of God’s grace, I am committed more than ever to taking my
everyday, ordinary life—my sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and placing it before God as an offering. Romans 12:1 MSG
I look forward to journeying alongside you.

Speaking Sample:

**Below are 2 audio recordings and 1 video of talks I gave at a local bible study called THRIVE.
~ “Overwhelmed” message is centered around Jesus and The Woman at The Well.
~”WILDFIRE” message centers on the Holy Spirit. My teaching was -“Our Light was never meant to be “little”-What quenches the Holy Spirit and how do we fuel the flames instead?
~”Thy Kingdom Come” message centers around diverse, yet united, Kingdom culture.

“When we follow Christ everything changes”- KatieWilson
Thank you so much Cindy for your words of encouragement and for the Godly wisdom you share on Twitter. And yes -How the Holy Spirit works is a great and glorious mystery that never ceases to connect the dots and hearts in the most ridiculously awesome ways!!! In a world where the internet can often be chaotic, mean and cowardly, it can also be a great source of comfort, connection, creativity and kindness! So glad Twitter served as a new friend and sister in Christ connector:)
