A few years ago, I had the joy and the privilege of connecting with Schawn in women's ministry! I asked Schawn to travel from Missouri to Wisconsin to bless us with a special Keynote message for a women's retreat in our church. God worked mightily through this animated and energetic Christian woman! With a message centered in scripture and focused on Christ, Schawn spoke from her heart, empowered by the Spirit to communicate truths that I needed to hear. Her words still resonate with me today. As a women's ministry leader overseeing the event, I was keeping a close eye on the participants, watching and listening for their reactions, attentive to their responses. What I saw and heard was exhilarating! Clearly, God gifted Schawn with the ability to effectively share the love of Jesus with a large crowd of women, enabling every woman, at the same time, to feel as though Schawn was speaking directly and personally to her. The participants responded to Schawn's message with joy! Her dynamic and conversational presentation style was spot-on! Many who heard her message said she was "real" and approachable, as they enjoyed talking and engaging with Schawn one-on-one in the time that followed the retreat. I thank God for the ways He worked in my life and in so many others' lives through Schawn's inspired message!

Schawn has exemplified the characteristics of one dedicated to the service of her Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. She desires excellence in all she does. Her commitment to the Lord and passion to be all that he has called her to be is certainly reflective in her presentations. Having been in a position of leadership and ministry over the past several years and had the opportunity to work with hundreds of individuals, I can truly say that I am very confident that Schawn will surpass your expectations as she did mine.

I’ve had the privilege of hearing Schawn Starfeldt speak on many occasions, and each of these experiences has been such a blessing! I’ve watched Schawn’s unique gift of storytelling make audiences of all ages laugh, cry, reflect, and grow closer to the Lord. Always encouraging and uplifting, Schawn’s messages have resonated with new believers as well as with those who have already walked many miles of their journey. No matter what demographic she has spoken to, Schawn has met her audience right where they are – her hilarious anecdotes always assured the audience that she is “right there with them” in the trenches of life, striving to lead a life pleasing to God. Whenever I have had the treat of listening to Schawn, I am refreshed by the wisdom she has to share – and I know others are, too!
