Endorsements
"Funny, uplifting, joyful and heartfelt. Cindy took me from laughing hysterically one moment to sobbing tears of compassion the next. Truly a gifted speaker whose heart for the Lord outshines everything." - Marissa McDavid, CO
"You'll never know how much your words
meant to me during your workshop as you talked about writing as a
ministry. I've finally accepted what God is calling me to do in this
season of my life...Your workshop was like balm for my soul. You
helped me put a lot of things in perspective, chief of which was understanding
that I need to keep my heart and mind focused on ministering through writing
and trust the Lord to open whatever doors He wants when and how He
wants." -- Cheryl Collier, Ph.D., SC
"I was ready to throw in the towel. Give up the whole writing process until Cindy showed me the vast ways I could write for Christ. It's not always in a book." -- Elaine Thompson, NC
"I laughed and then I cried as Cindy walked our ladies through a three day retreat. I needed to be refreshed and renewed and when she gave me a bucket to dip into the water I was never so touched. " -- Patricia Dunesbury, GA
"I wondered if there people left with a "real heart." Cindy has that heart. Her class opened my eyes to what it means to really write." - Matthew Muldeeny, SC
"I got a lot out of your talk, especially what you said about
keeping your writing “happy”, and “non-controversial.”
As a direct response copywriter, much of what I write professionally has
the
taint of controversy and you forget that not ALL writing is “selling.” -- John Keever
At our annual Women's Retreat, we were blessed to have Cindy
Sproles as our guest speaker. We experienced a challenge to dig deeper
into the Word and to grow closer to God. Cindy shared her heart with us
- her heart for the Lord, her heart for his children and her heart for
the Kingdom. Cindy has a way of making her audience feel very
comfortable as she speaks, which enables them to interact and become
involved with the message. We are grateful for the opportunity to have
her lead us to a closer walk with the Lord & one another. - Paula Manning
First Christian Church, Elizabethton, TN
"I love your writing, Cin. The points always come across clear, helpful,
articulate; and it's just so nice to read anything you write." - Molly Mason
Topics Cindy Teaches
Draw from the Well of Living Water - Everyone gets thirsty. Everyone seeks refreshment. Go to the well and drop in your bucket. Draw out newness and hope.
Dear God, I'm A Mother - God has a sense of humor and He gave it to mom's. In this whimsical look at rearing children mom's find the common bond between themselves and their children and being a child of God.
Meet God on the Mountain - When the time comes for self-reflection and evaluation there is a path leads to peace and contentment. Meet God on the Mountain walks the path seeking full dependence on God.
Grandma's Best - There's nothing better than Grandma's home cooking. In this fun look at Biscuits, gravy and grits you learn there's a recipe for a good meal. When we're children we drink milk, but when mature -- we eat ham biscuits and gravy. Learn how to move from milk to meat in your spiritual life.
The Story in Toilet Paper - Which way do you hang your toilet paper - so the paper rolls over the top or from the bottom? There is a story in toilet paper and we're pretty set in our ways when it comes placing the roll on the holder. It's time to understand "a heart willing to learn." Is your way the only way, or does God take presidence?
Thimble full of Grace - Paul prayed that we would know how high, how deep, how wide and how long the love of God is. It's the same with His grace. A thimble full covers us completely and we can never empty the river of grace He has for us.
Writing Devotions the Christian Devotions Way - Learn the Hook, Book, Look and Took method of writing devotions that strike the heart and move the soul.
Writing as a Ministry - Every one wants a book on the shelves, but few understand the real ministry behind writing. Explore the avenues God can use your writing talents besides a novel. Learn to listen to the call and if you accept, how to show up for work.
