Bringing You a Breath of Fresh Air!
With her love for God's Word and a wit that keeps audiences engaged, Gaye helps you see how God's faithfulness shows up in your daily life—from your first cup of coffee to your midnight worry session. She has an eye for spotting God's fingerprints in life's grandest celebrations, its everyday chaos, and those precious you've-got-to-be-kidding-me! moments.
When Gaye speaks, biblical truths feel like a conversation with a trusted friend. She brings the wisdom of someone who's navigated both corporate boardrooms and church basement potlucks—and appreciates both! Her authentic style shines through at church events, women's conferences, weekend retreats, and association gatherings, where she shares one unchanging truth: God has wonderful things planned for you—start looking for them!
Her leadership journey reveals a gift for keeping the human heart at the center of every solution: from leading a human resources team that supported 11,000 airline employees to serving as Special Assistant to a university president. She brought that same dedicated spirit to her roles as Midwest Regional Director for Christian Women in Media and president of the National Speakers Association-MN Chapter. Whether she's giving a media interview or leading a volunteer project, Gaye brings her signature blend of insight, authenticity, and that gentle humor that makes everyone feel at home.
As an author, Gaye has poured her heart into books like Getting My Ducks in a Row and Other Stories of Faith and Anticipate God's Goodness: Letters of Encouragement to Ignite Your Spirit. Her weekly notes of encouragement brighten inboxes with reminders of God's faithfulness—and yes, occasional musings about why Häagen-Dazs ice cream deserves its own spot in the food pyramid (she makes a compelling case for it).
With Scripture as her foundation and encouragement as her heart language, Gaye helps women discover the extraordinary hiding in their ordinary days. Her messages feed your soul, refresh your faith, and lift your spirit, all while helping you spot God's goodness in the most unexpected places.
Gaye shares life's adventures in St. Paul, MN, with her husband Steve, where she's probably either writing her next encouraging word or contemplating the spiritual lessons found in a perfect slice of pizza.
"I wish Gaye was my next-door neighbor! She's the perfect blend of friendliness and wisdom that you want to have close by. She makes you laugh, and you leave her presence feeling valued and encouraged." — Cheri Buelow, Director of Family Ministry, Trinity Lutheran Church, Hudson, WI
“"Gaye was the perfect fit for our major annual event. She was vivacious and humorous, yet eloquent, compassionate, personable, and God-honoring in her presentation and in all interactions. She is a professional in all she does. She made the business aspect of it easy from an event planner's perspective. For anyone looking for a speaker who can hold an audience's attention and inspire women, she's your gal. You'll love her! We sure did!" Melissa Dockum, Live Oaks Community Church, The Villages, Florida
“Gaye has a natural ability to bring a wonderful message which is spiritual, heartfelt and easy to relate to. Many attendees commented on how much they enjoyed Gaye as an individual, not just because of her message, but because of the way in which she presented it to the women. Her warmth and ability to make Jesus and His love for us come alive was a treasure to those in attendance.” Barb Grosz, Presentation Sisters, Sioux Falls, SD
"From my first point of contact with Gaye, she 'had me at hello.' What a true joy and delight she is! Gaye was genuinely invested in the success of our event through her support of our marketing efforts and the way she crafted her message to align with our event theme. She spoke in a full auditorium, but with her warm and connecting speaking style, we felt like longtime friends just chatting over coffee. Gaye's zeal for life and ease of laughter is surpassed only by her love for Jesus and the way she shines HIS light!"
Kathy Boyes, Prayer Ventures, Eden Prairie, Minnesota
