A Still, Small Voice

“Resolving Your Soul Struggle” was birthed out of Janet’s speaking engagements. Attendees began asking: “Do you have a book? We need one.”

Initially Janet intended to create about a 20 page booklet to be distributed at her meetings. However, as she began to write, a still, small voice kept whispering: “This isn’t enough. They need more.” This began a ten year process of going deeper and including additional tools and helps for each of the twelve struggles.

Impact Story: Mission to Africa

As the manuscript neared publication, Pastor Victor Seraya, a friend and Congo citizen – having escaped during persecution and currently pastor of New Season Church established for the African community – asked to read the manuscript. After completion, he sat across her at a table and looked directly at her and said: “Janet, this is what Africa needs! Will you come to Africa and teach this?” Her answer was immediately “Yes!”

Janet had the privilege of traveling to Africa in both 2018 and 2019. Teaching leaders how to care for their people and walk them through the struggles of daily life in an environment of poverty brought a new perspective and insights to her teaching. It also altered the way in which she now looks at her world.

When I first met Janet, I was broken, empty, lost, hopeless and confused. I had just left an abusive marriage and had no idea how to navigate the emotions and pain that I was experiencing. Janet showed me where to start; then she gently took me by the hand and led me along the pathway of healing and hope. She helped me discover who I am in my Father’s eyes and her own love and deep devotion to her Savior is both contagious and inspiring. She is wonderfully skilled at leading broken people back into correct relationship with their Savior.

Janet is not only well-educated and knowledgeable in every aspect of the Bible, but she knows exactly how to apply it to your life…I highly recommend Janet as an outstanding presenter… God is using her in such a tremendous way, and any individual or group who comes in contact with her will quickly know it.

Janet’s presentation is one of the best I have heard on the subject of Intimacy with God. The structure allows each of us to see this intimacy as a joyful, attainable reality and not just a lofty goal.

Walking us through the struggles of the Christian life by incorporating Biblical characters and personal examples has deeply affected my life.

Janet, thank you so much. You touched on many of the issues I am struggling with. I needed to hear what you spoke about. Don't stop!

I want to thank you for sharing with us while you were here in St. Maarten. We were truly blessed with your ministry. This presentation was so timely for our people. It was the providence of God.

The Lord Jesus has had me on a journey over the last several years to give up the ‘idols’ in my life and have a more intimate, abiding relationship with Him. Your book helped me realize the signs, (impatience, frustration at small inconveniences, etc.) were indicators that the biggest idol in my life was my self-centeredness. I have confessed this to the Lord and am confident He will continue to dismantle the ‘idol factory’ in my heart.
