Humor has a way of providing a healing balm in times of emotional stress and uncertainty. Karen MCCracken's sessions at our Camp Calvary Retreat were an answer to prayers. Her experiences and the touching manner in which she shared her story gave me hope. I have struggled for decades to identify with the woman I see in the mirror in relation to the woman God created me to be. Karen is real, approachable, and sincere. Since the retreat, her message has resonated in my mind and heart. I have been able to encourage friends to seek any opportunity to hear her speak and read her easily accessed books on Amazon. I look forward to listening to her podcasts and anticipate any future engagements at which I may hear her speak again. I pray for God's blessings on her ministry.

Karen’s retreat session on unforgiveness robbing your peace was phenomenal. There was no fluff, just transparency in her journey, signs of unforgiveness in your life, and practical steps to overcoming it. I have a lot of work to do, but felt I took the first giant step and a weight was lifted just in listening to Karen’s session. So thankful I found it and her resources.

I love how she weaves her testimony with the Word of God and how He has rescued her throughout her life. We thoroughly enjoyed her presentations over the weekend as her effervescent personality bubbled over to the crowd. She totally made us all feel like one of her girlfriends just hanging out for the weekend!

Our church had Karen come and speak at our fall conference last Oct. 2017 and Karen was a hit with the ladies. Karen had a great message for the ladies and her delivery was honest, warm and funny at times as well. We enjoy speakers that are published in order to sell inspiring books to continue the message after the conference is over. I would highly recommend Karen for any ladies retreat or conference.
