Author & Founder of Transforming Center
 

A sought-after teacher, preacher, and retreat leader, you will always find Ruth teaching and leading the Transforming Center’s two-year Transforming Community experience and other events—such as the Pursuing God’s Will Together Discernment Summit for Leaders and Becoming a Transforming Church retreats and programs. Although she has limited availability for outside travel and speaking, she does give prayerful consideration to requests from pastors and leaders who have participated in a Transforming Community and are seeking to bring what they have learned back to their communities, as well as strategic opportunities with national conferences, denominational gatherings, ministry organizations, and academic institutions.

MAKE A SPEAKING REQUEST

Please note that Ruth is committed to discerning her response to speaking requests with others on her team.  We will make every attempt to acknowledge receipt of your request when it comes in, but it may take up to two weeks for us to respond fully.  To help us use our time and organizational capacity wisely, please be sure you and/or your leadership group have fully decided upon asking Ruth to participate in your event BEFORE making your official request using this speaker request form.  If you need further information in order to extend a firm invitation, please e-mail Dalene at dstrieff@transformingcenter.org.
