How to Become a Christian Motivational Speaker
The Lord has changed your life and filled you with love for yourself and your fellow man. The urge to share this change has grown inside of you, so you stand up in church one Sunday to tell everyone about your blessings. A few weeks later, you hear a calling to change the lives of people who face the challenges you overcame. This urge will interfere with your secular job. But, there is a way to follow your calling, help people in need and become a Christian motivational speaker.
