AMANDA QUICK

A room changes when someone tells the truth.

I speak to rooms willing to let God into the conversation: churches, women's groups, author events and panels. Testimony, truth-telling, and what we inherit and pass on.

Talks

The Thing You Haven't Said

A keynote for leaders, women's groups and churches. Also known as Ashes to Authority.

The sentence you've been circling for years is the key to the life you actually want. My story, and what it takes to stop performing your life and tell the truth about it: burn down what isn't true, rewrite the story, and lead alongside God. Every attendee gets my free guide.

Unmuted

Writing the story only you can tell. For writers

The sentence you keep deleting isn't writer's block. It's the truth asking to be told. How to read resistance as a signal, and the difference between a book written to heal and one written for the one still in the fight.

What We Pass On

For mothers, parenting groups and churches

Nothing hurts more than watching our children repeat the patterns we've spent our lives fighting. This isn't about blame, and it isn't about fixing our kids. It's about seeing honestly what we carry, and choosing what we hand down.

I also share my testimony for faith communities, and join panels on moving through life's hardest seasons with grace. Every talk is shaped for the room. If your audience needs something these don't cover, ask.

Working together

In person or virtual. Keynotes, workshops, panels and testimony.

For podcast hosts

I've told this story in more than 100 podcast conversations. I can go wherever your listeners need: the whole story, or one part of it.

Questions hosts often ask

  • When did you first sense something was wrong, and what kept you from acting on it?
  • What would you say to someone who's where you were in 2016?
  • What did writing the memoir show you that living it didn't?
  • How did your faith change through all of this?
  • What do you want parents to understand about the patterns their kids pick up?
