The Personality You Are Looking For

"Lisa Hendey began working with me on her presentation notes as soon as I booked her for our event (almost a year in advance). Her presentation was far from “canned” because she used videos from current events to make her points. Her Powerpoint slides were easy to follow. Our retreat was our 30th annual so…

Mom’s Group Feedback: “Relatable Style and Wit”

Lisa was our guest speaker at a recent St. Cecilia Mom’s Group meeting. It was a beautiful morning, as we all felt so blessed to have Lisa with us. Through her heartful presentation, she connected with all the participants with her relatable style and wit. I would absolutely recommend Lisa as a speaker or presenter!

Retreat Participant Feedback: “Beautiful and Relatable”

Sometimes it's hard to say yes in the midst of the storms of life. This retreat came at a time where I needed a bridge to help keep walking and Lisa's retreat was just that! Lisa's vulnerability in sharing her life and testimony was beautiful and relatable.

Norbertine Canonesses “Full of Grace” Fundraiser

When we booked Lisa as the keynote speaker for our annual Los Angeles brunch event to benefit our Norbertine Sisters, we knew she was going to deliver an excellent talk. We did not, however, anticipate the extent to which Lisa personally invests herself in the subject matter and the audience to which she has been…

Light of the World “Grace of Yes” Retreat

Lisa, it was a pleasure to both spend time and work with you. Your presentation was very professional, relatable and faith building! In the spirit of a true minister, you were able to customize your presentation to our community. Thank you for blessing us with your gifts and making this women's retreat a success!

USC Caruso Catholic Center

Lisa Hendey showed a group of 100 faith-filled Trojans how to GRACEFULLY journey through the “next chapter” of life. Whether adjusting to life as a wife, becoming a new mom, caring for an aging parent, adjusting to an empty nest, pursuing new passions or rediscovering yourself, Lisa's humor, everyday faith, and real-world examples showed us how…

St. Anne’s School “Chime Travelers”

It was delightful to hear Lisa Hendey express her faith through her love of storytelling. In sharing her experiences as a writer, the students were able to see that they are capable of creating great works too. Lisa Hendey’s Chime Travelers Series have simple, yet powerful messages for children. They teach about virtues and allow children to…

Archdiocese of San Francisco Digital Communications Conference

"Lisa presented at our Archdiocesan Digital Communication Conference on the general topic and on social media specifically. She tailored her talk perfectly to our needs, situating the reason we do this – evangelization – in our daily reality of time, budget, and available expertise. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, and we’re excited about the…

St. Patrick Catholic Church “Grace of Yes” Retreat

"What a wonderful day - our parish women felt blessed to have Lisa with us. As she presented the eight virtues for generous living, we felt how genuine and human she was. Here was someone who was walking the same walk we were, not someone just telling us how we should live our lives. Throughout…

St. Patrick’s School “Chime Travelers”

Mrs. Hendey visited St Patrick School in Washington, Illinois and spoke to 3 different age groupings of students. Each presentation had the same core message, but each was delivered according to the age group present. She easily adjusted to each grade level and the knowledge the students had of the topics. What I liked the…

I really enjoyed this Aleteia English article about soon-to-be Blessed Jordan, the founder of Jordan Ministry Team. The piece was written by my friend Silas Henderson, a spiritual son of Fr. Jordan. I’ve recently had the chance to get to know folks who love and live Fr. Jordan’s precepts, so reading this article was a gift in that it gave me more insight into their founders charisms. I’ve been praying a lot lately about my personal “mission”. There were some great teachings in Brother Silas’ article that helped me to see that Fr. Jordan lived his mission in a lifelong way. Lately, I’ve grappled with disappointments in my “work”, but this article and some other signs this week have helped me see that this time we are experiencing is not an “end” to what I do, but just a new chapter in my mission’s story. If you’ve grappled with trying to understand this life as we know it now, I think Brother Silas’ work here will bless you!

Soon to be Blessed Jordan: He heard God’s call gazing on the cedars of Lebanon

In 1880, a young German priest was studying languages in Egypt and Palestine. During the trip, this unassuming but gifted man visited the various shrines and holy places associated with the lives o…

For friends who have returned to Mass in person, how long does it take to get used to the "new normal"? I'm really struggling with adjusting. Priest friends, I'd love your input as well! How can we better support YOU during this time?
