Jan enjoys speaking at retreats and conferences, hoping to ignite within listeners a burning desire to know God in an authentic way.  The word most often used to describe Jan's speaking is "real."  Unwilling to minimize the mystery of God or the human struggle, Jan presents Biblical principles and characters in down-to-earth ways, making it easier for people to connect with God and become more thirsty for Him.  Her observations about life's dilemmas give listeners a lot to study, ponder and laugh about.
