Keynote Speaking
Most speakers bring a message.
Chris brings a mirror.
You’ve built something real. You work hard. You’d say your faith is the foundation of everything you do. And if you’re honest, the way you’re actually living doesn’t match that. Not because you stopped believing. Because the drift happens quietly, and nobody warned you it was coming.
Chris speaks to that gap. Specifically, personally, and without flinching.
Featured Keynote
Recalibrate the Drift
A Keynote for Christian Business Leaders
Most Christian business owners didn’t leave God behind on purpose. They built something real, ran hard toward growth, adopted every framework and tactic the business world offered. And somewhere in the urgency of it all, the center drifted. God-centered leadership got quietly replaced by process-centered management.
Left unaddressed, the drift has a destination. You end up somewhere you never intended to go. But here’s what the drift doesn’t tell you: you were driving the whole time. You had control. You just let the urgency take the wheel until urgency was all you knew.
This talk opens with the story of a man who threw his phone through a wall, then traces the pattern that put him there. Every leader in the room will recognize it in their own story. They leave with language for what’s been happening, clarity on where it went wrong, and a practical path back to the right center.
For Christian business owners, faith-based organizations, leadership conferences, and business peer groups. 45-60 minute keynote / 90 minute workshop version available.
- Leaders identify the specific moment their calling got crowded out and understand why it happened
- The faith-business conversation moves from Sunday language to Monday decisions
- A practical framework for leading from identity and calling rather than tactics and urgency
- Language for a conversation most leaders have never been able to have inside their organizations
“It’s so hard to connect being a businesswoman and a Proverbs 31 wife. No one else ever talks about how God didn’t design those to be separate.”

What audiences say
“I walked in ready to quit my business and walk away from my marriage. I walked out with a reason to fight for both. Chris didn’t give me a strategy. He gave me back my purpose.”

When You Book Chris
What you can expect
A real conversation before your event
Before I speak for your group I want to understand your audience, your organization, and what you’re hoping they walk away with. That’s not a courtesy call. It’s how I make sure the talk lands the way it should.
A prepared, professional presentation
Your audience gets my full preparation, not a recycled version of something I did somewhere else. The core of the talk stays consistent. The specificity to your room is what I customize.
Prompt, direct communication
I respond to phone calls and emails personally. You won’t work through an assistant or wait three days for a reply. If we’re working together on your event, you have direct access to me.
Follow-up after the event
I’ll follow up after your event to make sure it landed the way you hoped. If something could have been better, I want to know that too.

Faith & Business
Lead Like the Lion, Serve Like the Lamb
Bold Leadership Without Losing Your Soul
Most leaders have been taught that strength and humility pull in opposite directions. One gets you respect, the other gets you walked on. This talk dismantles that. Drawing from the same leaders Chris has sat across from in consulting rooms for over a decade, it shows what it actually looks like to lead with conviction and character at the same time, and why the leaders who figure that out are the ones their teams never want to leave.
Ideal for faith-based organizations, church leadership teams, and Christian conferences.
Business Growth
Attract. Automate. Amplify.
The Leadership Framework for Scalable Growth
Most business owners hit a ceiling not because they lack ambition but because the business is still running on them. Every client relationship, every key decision, every fire that breaks out lands on the owner’s desk. This talk walks through a practical framework for building a business that attracts the right people, runs without you as the bottleneck, and grows in ways that compound over time. The strategy is real. The faith dimension isn’t an add-on. It’s the foundation the whole thing is built on.
Ideal for Christian business owners, entrepreneurs, and faith-based chambers of commerce.
Half-Day Workshop
The Two-Sided Coin Workshop
For Organizations That Want to Go Deeper
The Two-Sided Coin Workshop takes the framework from Recalibrate the Drift and applies it directly to your organization. In a half-day working session, leadership teams and peer groups move from recognition to application, identifying where the drift has happened in their specific context and building a practical recalibration plan they can execute immediately.
This is not a follow-up seminar. It is a working session with real outputs. Ideal for organizations that want to go beyond the keynote experience and build something lasting into how their leaders operate.
One conversation.
That’s how it starts.
