Unlock the Power

of Finding Faith in the Everyday

Book Amy as your Speaker?

Amy Bretall knows the power of faith.

It all starts with faith. Whether it’s having faith in your idea, your community, team, group, and, most importantly, in a higher power, God. It takes a mindset of faith, a “faith-set.”

With a professional and successful background in corporate America, holding senior-level Human Resources leadership business positions for 25 years, Amy Bretall knows first-hand the transforming power of faith. To stepping out on faith with an initial idea to do something “more” with her photography of crosses, to then writing and speaking about faith, she shares her insights and personal experience to help others find and follow faith, overcome doubt, showing how God communicates through visible signs.

Amy expands the way people see, think, and experience faith. Through a visual story-telling of unique and stunning photography, Amy takes audiences behind-the-scenes of her inspiring journey of becoming aware of Everyday Crosses (formed in the unformed) when she was at a low in life, her interpreted spiritual messages received, aligned with Biblical principles, and how she applied them in order to move forward.

Crafting her public speaking throughout her 20+ year HR career in fast-paced, growing, for-profit companies, to then strategic consulting with small-to-medium sized businesses, Amy learned how to take routine topics and communicate in interesting ways to connect with people and engage audiences. Amy excelled at creating and delivering employee and management training of new hire orientations, performance management, sexual harassment/non-discrimination (Amy developed a unique way to turn a generally bland compliance topic into an engaging and fun interaction!), large all-employee events, presenting to board of directors, working with all levels of leadership. Today, speaking to Christian business groups and faith-based organizations, Amy shares how she found her faith in a non-traditional way, deepened her personal faith relationship, to then depend on it to guide life and business decisions.

Amy’s keynote brings energy and excitement, inspiring audiences to see the surrounding presence of God in their own life, overcome doubt in order to step out on faith, and follow faith to live a fuller life of meaning and purpose.

Speaking Testimonials

Inspiring to all

“We were so happy Amy spoke at our luncheon. Sharing her faith journey and how she was prompted by God to publish two books was inspiring to all. Attendees said they could have listened to her story for another hour. Amy has a gift for holding everyone’s attention.

–Carol Parker, Organizer, UMW, annual women’s event

Challenged Us to Rethink

Amy was able to challenge us to rethink our understanding of the cross. The symbol of our faith is not only contained in specific places designated for faith, but experienced and present in obscure and easily overlooked spots. The passion she brings to the topic is palpable and contagious. She sparked conversation within our church and helped open our eyes to see the cross wherever we go. She was a delight and an inspiration and will be wherever she goes.”

-Rev. Trevor Dancer, Lead Pastor, First United Methodist Church

Impactful Message

“In our devotional time yesterday we were talking about when you don’t see God working and one of the team members talked about how impactful your time with us was and how she is constantly seeing crosses now and is reminded that God is always there even when we don’t see or feel Him! Thanks again for sharing with our team!”

-Beth Graves, Chief People Officer, Lifewater/Water for Good
