How I wish good intentions were enough to grow lives and kids of godly impact. They're not.
We must have an accurate and deep understanding of God's design of people and life and the wisdom to apply that knowledge. There is no other way to become spiritually strong, emotionally healthy, and relationally smart.
That's what I help women and parents achieve.
Start with the Godly Impact newsletter and podcast or jump right in and invite me to speak.
You will have an immeasurable, eternal, and irreplaceable impact.
The question is, "For better or worse?"
I want yours to be the best possible!
Good intentions are seeds.
You can want to be the best possible person, parent, or spouse. But seeds don't grow alone.
Understanding God's design is soil.
Through Biblical principles and knowledge God reveals through science, you can be planted in spiritual, emotional, and relational truth.
Good insights on your unique situations are water and sunshine.
While truth remains constant, application is seldom one-size-fits all. I love sharing my experience, others' expertise, and reminding you that Jesus is the Mighty Counselor!
Your good intentions can flourish into godly impact!
"Stephanie Smith has an incredible gift for delivering God’s word in a way that is relatable, relational, and real! Our community loved hearing from her. She was engaging and warm. She invited personal reflection and application, making her message one that sticks with listeners long after she finished speaking. I’d highly recommend Stephanie as a speaker for your next event." -- Bobbie S., President, INSPIRE

I condense extensive research into an easy-to-understand format using a home remodel as an analogy. You will meet the crew in charge of the brain's remodel: Mr. Reward, Risk, Ms. Relationship, and the final team member who is eerily similar to Inspector Clouseau from The Pink Panther. Unforgettable stories from my experience as a teacher, mentor, and mother of five sons bring the importance of understanding this brain remodel to life.
