Speaking and Training

"The thing I loved most about the workshop was how well it integrated parts of my life! I've spent plenty of time learning and applying spiritual health and self-care, but often the two were offered as distinct. Janice is able to weave together how spiritual care is self-care and to give practical and immediate suggestions rooted in deep truth. I walked away feeling connected to Jesus and with some tools and practices in hand. The balance and integration that the workshop brought me have been a lifeline."

“Yesterday—I can't think of a more perfect or moving sermon or delivery. Our friend told us you were the best speaker he's ever heard. Now we can affirm it for ourselves. What a rich, rich message. The three minutes of silence, bookended by your words, were stunning, especially with you sitting in that wonderful chair and just allowing the peace, warmth, and tenderness of that psalm to penetrate. And I think you let out a painful, collective breath for all of humanity when you named each world horror and just blew out a sigh with each one.”

“Janice McWilliams has been a teacher and frequent speaker at Central Presbyterian Church for well over a decade. Her workshops on marriage are among our most popular offerings, both within and outside of the faith community. Her approach is vulnerable, bluntly honest, humorous, biblical, and deeply informed by clinical experience. All of this carries into her preaching, as well. We hear messages deeply rooted in the text, but informed by her unique training and experience as a student worker, wife and mother, spiritual director, and therapist. Life application is clear, in a context of forgiving self-acceptance and optimism. Refreshing, valuable help for us all!”

"Janice McWilliams’ ability to connect with this generation is rooted in her vulnerability, approachable humor, and serious handling of Scripture. Her practical content has helped equip our students to grow in both emotional and spiritual maturity. More than an upfront speaker, Janice engages students with ease during meals, free time and has even been known to play a mean game of kickball."

“Janice has the uncanny ability to take a group of anxious listeners, who are uncertain about the topic before them, and turn that anxiety into fits of laughter and a willingness to listen. I love hearing Janice speak because she has a deep and abiding faith that carries over into a true desire to help people grow. This comes through in her teaching and training and translates into lives changed by the message she brings.”
