I am always happy to curate a message for your event or community, but below are a few of my favorite topics to speak on! —Liv
The Unexpected Weapon of Warfare
I don’t wanna show up to a gunfight with a pool noodle. How ‘bout you? In this study we will explore God’s unexpected method of protection for Judah in 2 Chronicles 20. Together we will discover an unexpected weapon that we always have access to. It’s time to declare war on hopelessness and the enemy.
When God is Four Days Too Late
“God is never late.” Hmm...
John 11 tells us a different story. What do we do with a God who is purposefully late; yet always on His perfect time?
Manna Mindset
You don’t get tomorrow’s grace today. A candid and freeing exploration of the dailyness of our faith, this lesson urges us to live with a manna mindset every single day.
Reviews
“Hold Hope was an incredible retreat, and Olivia’s message deeply touched everyone in the room. She shared from her own journey in a way that resonated with countless women, reminding us all to hold onto hope. Many ladies specifically commented on how impactful her sessions were—especially her teaching on manna mindset and her encouragement to praise God both in and through the hard seasons.
Though young in age, Olivia carries remarkable wisdom of the Word, and her clarity and accuracy in teaching both inspire and challenge women of all generations. She is warm, relatable, and genuinely connects with those she ministers to. We wholeheartedly recommend Olivia for any women’s events.”
—Tenise Bogus
“Olivia spoke at an event I attended, sharing truths, rooted in God's word, that she learned during seasons of trial in her own life. Though the trials we individually face are unique, the hope we hold to in God's word remains steadfast and does not change based on our circumstances. Beyond being blessed by what Olivia shared, her book has been an AMAZING read and most of my copy is underlined as so much of it resonates with what God has taught me in my own journey. I praise God for the work He has done in Olivia's life so that others have the opportunity to see His power be magnified and hear this beautiful message of hope!”
—Kayla Hollis
“We had the opportunity to have Olivia speak at our womens retreat this year (2025) and we were so greatful for her message. Although I personally do not suffer from chronic pain and illness, there were ladies at the retreat who did, and you could just see how Olivia's story and testimony truly helped and encouraged others. We were very moved and appreciative of her.”
—LaShaun Kohls
“As soon as Olivia started telling about her health journey and how she took God alongside her, I could relate immediately. She reminded me that I’m not alone. God is with us on the mountaintops and in the valleys. Her message gave me such a positive perspective and filled me with hope!”

Nothing is Wasted with Davey Blackburn
Davey’s beautiful ministry was born from heartbreak. You may remember the story of an Indianapolis pastor’s wife and unborn baby being murdered in a home invasion 10 years ago. That was Davey’s sweet wife Amanda. Today, Davey’s pain has fueled him into a ministry of gently pointing others to the healing purpose in their pain.
In this episode, Davey and I sit down to explore the power of praying with specificity, the importance of community in seasons of suffering, and how to cling to hope when your situation seems stuck. Catch our convo here.
