More About Michelle Medlock Adams


I get it. Trying to find the perfect speaker for your event can be challenging. Well, I may not be perfect, but I am personable, and I'm passionate about delivering the right message for your group. After 20-plus years of writing inspirational books and speaking to groups across the United States, I understand what it takes to have a motivational and memorable event, and because this isn't just a job for me--it's a calling--I'll give my all to make sure to exceed your expectations. I do this by implementing the three Ps--prayer, preparation, and personality. Obviously, anything I would speak that wasn't bathed in prayer would just be empty words, and I'm all about results. I want your group to go home changed, challenged, and encouraged. That's where preparation comes in--I work on my talks and tailor them specifically to your group. And if my speaking topics don't fit your theme, I can create a talk just for you and your event. Lastly--personality. I begin engaging with your group from the moment I walk in the doors. It's not an act I put on; it's just who I am. I love people. I love to love on people. And I am grateful that love shines through, as you can read in my reviews. It's my goal to make every single person feel "seen." 

I am also happy to help you promote the event with social media posts and video clips as needed. Just say the word.

I hope we can work together because I'm excited to share what God has put on my heart for such a time as this.

Here's my "official bio." Many blessings to you!

Brandy Hopkins - Author, Speaker

Michelle is an energetic, God loving lady whom brings joy and fun into the atmosphere. I have had the pleasure of hearing her speak on more than one occasion; one being a teen girl conference that I lead. At that conference, not only did she bring a biblical perspective on life from her own personal story, she also opened the door for anyone to come and pray with us at the end of her talk. Kneeling beside me at the alter, we prayed for each and every girl there. She also took the time to speak to any girl who wanted to talk as well as have their picture taken with her. Michelle is a great person whom I highly recommend.

Lori Rifkind, Women's Ministry Director

Michelle Medlock Adams was our speaker for our annual Centerpiece of Christmas event. She was amazing in so many ways. She interacted with the participants before and after the event, her book table had many books that our ladies were interested in and subsequently purchased, but most of all her love for Jesus was evident in her presentation. Women are still talking about how much they enjoyed having Michelle for our speaker!

Diana Williams, Women’s Ministry Leader

Michelle was our guest speaker for the Winter Women’s Event, and she was enthusiastic and authentic. Our women were encouraged and challenged to dig deeper into God’s word in order to guide us in everyday situations, face life’s difficult circumstances, and find joy in serving our precious savior. Michelle is a positive role model for all women and genuinely cares about equipping and building up the body of Christ through deeper understanding of the Bible.

Michelle mixes her life experiences, cheerful, energetic personality, and solid scriptural foundation to provide a fun, real, Spirit-driven, and powerful presentation.

Ruth Anne Boone, Department Head, Literary Arts

It was my pleasure to meet Michelle this summer! She did a phenomenal job teaching workshops for our art and worship conference in the Literary track, and went above and beyond when she taught a class at the last minute which wasn't on her original schedule. She also had a few minutes on stage during one of our general sessions, and felt God calling her to encourage the artists in attendance, which she did with great insight and enthusiasm. Her godly heart and her ability to be both transparent and knowledgeable made her a popular teacher, and we would welcome her back anytime!

Sharyn Kopf - Author/Speaker

When planning a women's conference, there are many things to worry about. But if you choose Michelle Medlock Adams as your keynote speaker, that's one element you will NOT have to be concerned over. Michelle spoke at a conference I organized in April 2017. She not only got to the heart of our topic in an engaging, biblically sound and effective way, but she did so in such an approachable and loving manner that attendees continued to talk about the event and Michelle's impact long after it was over. So many speakers, in my experience, can be a bit aloof, but Michelle jumps right in there with the group she's speaking to -- laughing, taking goofy group selfies and, best of all, always showing a willingness to encourage people one-on-one. She even led a Zumba class! If you book Michelle Medlock Adams, you'll get a wonderful speaker AND make a good friend!

Submitted by Bedford Board Of REALTORS on Wednesday, Feb 01, 2017

Susan Sokeland, Association Executive

Michelle Medlock Adams, was the motivational speaker at the Bedford Board of REALTORS® annual awards banquet on January 12, 2017. She gave an outstanding presentation on staying F-I-T during the upcoming 2017 year and provided the board members present many helpful tips from her book “Love and Care for the One and Only You”. The presentation was geared towards motivating realtors in their industry and she did an excellent job of comparing it to her own field of journalism and book sales. Michelle is humorous, engaging and always uses her vibrant personality to keep her audience interested. I particularly enjoyed her use of anecdotes from her own life to put forth her message. This member was lucky enough to receive a copy of her book and I am enjoying reading same. If you are fortunate to have the opportunity to attend one of her speaking engagements, don’t miss out! She does an excellent job and shares her enthusiasm for her profession well.

"Fly High: Understanding Grief with God's Help"

Experiencing loss––in the varied ways it comes to us––affects everyone differently. As adults, we have ways to verbalize how we are feeling. Many children, however, lack the vocabulary and the understanding to name the emotions they experience when they go through grief. They just know they are hurting inside. They are feeling sad, angry, lonely, or maybe even scared. These feelings manifest in different ways depending on the age of the children. This book explores the story of a sister and a brother who love watching a mama bird care for her babies until the unthinkable...
