I am passionate about teaching women how to connect FAITH + LIFE in practical, purposeful, & powerful ways.
Welcome! I am Carla Gasser, a Christian women’s speaker, Bible teacher, blogger, and author of The Beauty of an Uncluttered Soul. As a recovering perfectionist and decluttering freak, I teach spiritually speaking women how to deal with and remove soul clutter by inviting God’s Spirit to transform them from the inside out. It is possible (with God’s help!) to clear the clutter and live a life filled with hope, joy, peace, and purpose!
I have spent more than fifteen years as an inspirational Christian women’s speaker, working with groups of all sizes and varieties, and am ready to inspire, encourage, and challenge your guests to connect faith + life in practical, purposeful, and powerful ways.
Many inspirational speakers may focus on one or two subjects, however, I have a diverse collection of presentations and workshops. Within the following themes, I have a variety of topics. One of my favorite aspects of speaking is meeting with ministry and event coordinators to develop a custom-designed plan that best meets the needs of the women you know and serve.
CONNECTION CONFERENCE
Connection is the heart and soul of my ministry. Contact me for details on a one or two-day conference that includes four detailed, interactive, and powerful sessions on the place of connection, the path of connection, and the people of connection. We will dig deep together to answer such questions:
- How do I connect my faith and my life in authentic and meaningful ways?
- How do use my passion to fulfill God’s purpose for my life?
- How do I become a woman of connection instead of a girl of division?

MEETING AT THE CROSSROADS
There are many places to stop and meet along the journey! In these tailor-made sessions (usually one hour in length), I encourage and challenge women in the areas of:
- Building Healthy Relationships (friendship & accountability)
- Overcoming Disappointment & Suffering
- Parenting with Grace & Truth
- Growing Spiritually (soul care, prayer, and Bible study)
- Celebrating Seasons & Holidays (Advent, Christmas, Easter, Mother’s Day, Girl’s Night Out)

THE BEAUTY OF AN UNCLUTTERED SOUL
Based on my bestselling devotional Bible study, The Beauty of an Uncluttered Soul, this topic adapts well to a powerful keynote presentation, a day-long conference with breakout sessions, or a reflective and immersive overnight retreat. I highlight the five steps to uncluttering one’s soul, the transformational power of the Holy Spirit to cleanse from the inside out, and/or cover the Fruit of the Spirit in a fresh way for your audience.

THE WAY OF THE WILDERNESS
The Bible uses the imagery of a desert or wilderness, both literally and figuratively, to describe times when God feels distant, absent, or unresponsive. It is a place where one may have a crisis of faith. Due to some physical, emotional, relational, or financial trauma, women feel alone, lost, and vulnerable. They may question God and isolate themselves from others.
Women walking in desert wastelands long to find purpose in the pain, hope for the journey, and encouragement to make it to the Promised Land.
The Way of the Wilderness teaches women how to name, frame, and tame their desert experiences. Based on my own time of wandering through the desert, this presentation uses my personal story to provide practical truth. My goal is to help guide participants through any wilderness experience with promises from scripture, interactive discussion, and thoughtful reflection activities.
Women will learn that God does not waste their wilderness experiences nor leave them wandering aimlessly but desires to provide streams in the wasteland.

MENTORING & TRAINING
One of my passions has been to mentor and encourage other women on the path. In these very hands-on, practical sessions, I teach and train church ministry leaders as well as lay volunteers on how to mentor, serve, and guide women to connect their faith and life and lead a life of passion and purpose. I will provide materials, activities, and resources that are ready to use and easily adaptable for your particular group.

Super girl for Jesus, Carla Gasser is one of God’s favorite vessels, touching women’s hearts and lives. As personable as she is polished, Carla is the one to call next time you need a great idea, a speaker for your important event or an event coordinator extraordinaire!”
Marnie Swedberg, International Leadership Mentor, www.Marnie.com
Carla was a true inspiration to the women of our church. Our group got to enjoy her for two of our women’s events. She was down to earth, relatable, easy to work with and a wonderful woman of God! Our group enjoyed her very much and walked away being blessed by what God put on her heart to share with us! They were moved spiritually and emotionally to a closer relationship with the Lord. If you are considering having Carla, I strongly recommend her.” –
Kelly Pryor, Director of Women’s Ministries, Northhampton Bible Church
The South Point ladies were so blessed to have Carla speak at our retreat. It is evident Carla has a love and deep relationship with the Lord. She is genuine and kind-hearted and it is obvious that she lives life out of a deep and sincere passion for God. We were truly blessed by her in-depth and creative way of teaching and imparting God’s truth. I can honestly say she was an answer to prayer and a blessing to collaborate with…truly a servant-hearted woman of God.”
Diane Aey, Director of Women’s Ministries, South Point Community Church
“Carla Gasser has been such a blessing to the women of Christ Community Chapel, Aurora Campus. We have had the pleasure of hearing from her as a guest speaker on several occasions, and each time, our women have left feeling encouraged, motivated, and spiritually enriched. As the speaker coordinator for our Moms Together group, I am always looking for talks that will uplift young women and, specifically, moms. Carla delivered wonderful messages each time she was with us. “Finding Balance for the Weary Mom”, “Mission Possible: Mom’s Serving with No Regrets”, and “Have Yourself a MARY Little Christmas” were three talks that I still think back on, reflect on, and share Carla’s words of wisdom. Each talk was very well organized, Biblically founded, and left us with applicable take home messages to start applying to our daily lives. I highly recommend Carla Gasser for your next women’s event. You will love her!” – Kristen Joy, Women’s Ministries Moms Together Speaker Coordinator, Christ Community Chapel- Aurora Campus
