Kimberla Lawson Roby Speaking Topics
For years, Kimberla Lawson Roby wasn’t being the real woman God created her to be. Not spiritually, personally, or professionally. It is true that she has always loved, trusted, an honored God, but she still had a lot to learn about purpose, divine calling, and making God her top priority. Worse, when she began struggling with depression for the first time in her life, she found herself feeling hopeless and deep in the wilderness. But then something great happened. Her struggles ultimately became a blessing to her in more ways than one. Her faith grew tremendously, and now her powerful and transparent testimony continues to help women everywhere.

How to Trust God and Fully Walk in Their Purpose—Even if They Are Afraid
When Kimberla Lawson Roby sat down to write her first book, she had no formal training in writing or publishing. Not to mention, once she finished writing her manuscript and she began submitting it for publication, it was rejected by every single literary agent and publisher she contacted. From there, though, she went from wanting to give up...to self-publishing her first book...to selling more than 10,000 copies of it within the first 6 months of publication...to writing and publishing 30 books and selling more than 3 million copies of her titles.

If Kimberla Lawson Roby could go back in time, one thing she would do differently is this: During her high school and college years, she would think a lot more about discovering her true purpose. Why? Because as much as getting a good education and finding a great career are all wonderful goals to have, it’s also important to understand why we were born to begin with…and how we should be serving others.
