What’s new: Speaking, writing, and Marmalade’s home

It’s been awhile since I’ve blogged here at BethJones.net so I thought I’d share about what’s new.  One of the most exciting things is that I just graduated from Robyn Dystra’s 8-week Christian Speakers Bootcamp. The best part was having access to Robyn live on a weekly Zoom meeting, where she shared the wealth of her years of experience speaking and answered our questions about speaking. 

This is my digital certificate from the class, and Robyn is mailing all of us a paper certificate, too. Isn’t it cool?!

Second, Robyn assigned a speech coach to everyone in the training. Mine was Lisa Betz, an award-winning novelist.  She was great and helped me to greatly improve and polish my Cinderella signature talk

My signature talk is about Cinderella's story and her glass slipper: The right shoes can take you to exciting places!

We also got a practice and prayer partner, to help us practice our “elevator pitch” (what you say when you meet someone new and he or she says, “What do you do?”). Our speech coach worked with us on this, too. Here’s mine:

“I’m Beth Jones, an International Speaker and Author of 30 books. I believe we should dream BIG because we serve a BIG GOD! I help women to step out of fear into faith in Jesus Christ, by sharing my story and the Bible about how much God loves us and the freedom we have in Jesus.”

What do you think?

If you’re an event planner or know someone who is who needs a speaker for their women’s conference, event, or workshop, please contact me here.

If you have never heard me share my story, you can read it in my memoir, Promises in the Dark: One Woman’s Search for Authentic Love, available at Amazon here.

Returning Guest on Inspirational Journey

I love speaking and encouraging others with the hope of Jesus Christ. I’m excited to announce that I’ll be a returning guest on February 13, 2023, on Ann Harrison’s Inspirational Journeys: Stories That Matter Podcast and YouTube Channel. Ann and I will be discussing my newest book, Walking With God: In the Prophetic Lifestyle.

Walking With God cover

It is available for sale now as a Kindle eBook here. Ann said that while reading this book, she found some “profound gems.” This really blessed me!

The book is about the function of the spiritual gift of prophecy and how it operates in the Body of Christ. I also share my exciting adventures learning how to use this precious gift from God. 

I’ll be sharing the links for Ann’s podcast and video with you when they go live, so stay tuned!

If you know someone who needs a speaker for their conference, retreat, online event, or podcast, please refer him or her to me here. Thank you so much for your prayers and support!

My new book made #1 in the category of Christian Prophet in Kindle!

It’s always exciting to write a book. No matter how many books that you’ve written and published, whether it’s one, ten, or 100, the feeling of seeing your name on that front cover (or Kindle cover) NEVER gets old. And there’s no other feeling than HOLDING your book!

I liken it to birthing a baby. Pregnancy is difficult and uncomfortable and by the ninth month, you just want it to be over with…but when the baby finally comes, what JOY to hold that precious, beautiful baby! And with a book, there’s even greater joy when it does well.
