Natalie Dawn Hanson is passionate about running her Divine race in all the roles she plays and helping others discover and confidently run theirs. It’s her heart’s joy to see women and parents embrace their unique roles and purposes and be

freed by the Word of God and power of the Spirit to have powerful, lasting impact on the people in their lives and to leave a legacy for generations to come. Natalie shares messages that enable you to:

• Define and embrace your unique purpose and roles and grasp the joy and peace of living a life for Christ. • Invest in a lifestyle rooted in intentional, disciplined time with God.

• Love extravagantly in all situations and learn how to build more intimate, lasting, fulfilling relationships. • View life and others from God’s eyes so you can celebrate your innate greatness and have power to ignite the Divine greatness in others. • Reject the lies of this world that cause doubt, insecuritiy and loneliness and walk into the beauty and light of doing life with and for God.

Natalie openly shares her journey of life and faith through the transforming power of Scripture by bringing a combination of heartfelt words, humor, truth, transparency and vulnerability to her messages. Natalie offers encouragement and hope for her audiences, guiding them to appreciate how living life with intention and joy is not only possible through God’s love & grace, but is an exciting adventure God has commanded us to live out.

Natalie’s years of service in women’s and youth ministry leadership and her current involvement in leading intergenerational worship ignite her belief in the significant power each and every one of us—the young and the mature—possesses to have positive impact in our place of influence in the world and how we each hold unique God-given purpose that is meant to be nurtured and unleashed to help build up God’s kingdom.

Natalie’s extensive training and experience in the Nurtured Heart Approach® have equipped her with the knowledge, compassion, insight and skills to help parents, families, teachers, business professionals, church staff/volunteers and community leaders navigate life with kids and adults in ways that ignite and embrace greatness and create joy, freedom and peace. Sharing this lifestyle approach, especially from a Christian perspective, is energizing and pure joy because she is becoming the best version of herself because of the intentions it inspires and the wisdom she’s gained from the Word of God.

Natalie writes daily devotions for Quenching Messages, an online devotional service she created which is sent to hundreds of people daily. She not only writes these devotions to help others stay disciplined in daily experiencing the richness of the Word of God, but to hold herself accountable to digging into Scripture every day, which is the very act that set her free and led her on this path of purpose. She also writes bi-monthly articles for Wisdom for Parents, a resource on her website offered to parents (or anyone who does life with kids) who desire encouragement and support in the wild adventure of raising kids.

Natalie is wife to a farmer—her hubby Darin who she’s still wildly in love with after 14 years—and momma to four lively, lovely boys that keep her on her toes and fill her house with energy and laughter. She’s known for sneaking away for renewing runs, sobbing over Hallmark movies, finishing a pot of coffee with a friend, and laughing till her belly aches. She’s your friend next door eager to support, encourage and love you through this adventure we call life.

Speaking Topics

The Godly Woman I’ve Always Wanted to be, but Haven’t Taken Time to BecomeAudience: WomenAs women, we play countless roles, many of which require a great deal of energy, time and commitment. Some of us are wives. Some are mothers. Some are professionals. Some are care-givers. Most are various mixtures of many roles. However, the most important role we can all claim, yet is often the role that gets the least amount of attention and time, is daughter of the Most High God. We know in our hearts the woman we want to be. But because of worldly influences and demands on our time and energy, we sometimes don’t know who she really is or how to fully become her. With humor and a posture of humility and vulnerability, Natalie shares her personal journey on becoming the woman God has called her to be and lovingly empowers you to: • Recognize you have everything you need to be the woman God calls and needs you to be. • Accept and integrate intentions into your life that will instantly set the stage to becoming the woman God designed you to be. • Embrace and adopt new lifestyle commitments and disciplines that will help you live out all of your roles in ways that are pleasing to God. • Experience enriching results of these daily and established intentions, commitments and disciplines.

Lifeline of Hope and Peace—Grab it Before You Sink Audience: MomHave you ever felt as if you were drowning in the demands of life? Struggling to balance work and home? Suffocating in the mounds of laundry, diaper changes, cooking and cleaning? Trudging through the ever-changing behaviors and attitudes of your kids? Neglecting to love and nurture your husband? Have you ever felt as if you just need air to breathe and time to relax or else you are going to lose it? As a mom of four boys, Natalie understands the demands of motherhood and how, if we don’t pay attention and give ourselves what we need, we can quickly sink into a pit of loneliness, despair and resentment. Natalie helps you to: • Recognize you deserve better—that life is filled with a richness you get to experience, but only if you choose. • Reject the lies of this world that cause doubts and insecurities that hold you back and keep you in the pit. • Establish new routines that are designed to heal, nurture and fulfill you. • Gain confidence in who you are and whose you are, so that you can live a life filled with joy and peace, even in the midst of chaos and troubles.

Claim Your Purpose—Embrace Your RaceAudience: Professionals, Mixed Adults, Moms, Women, Youth/TeensDo you know you were created to live out a specific purpose in this life? Have you discovered what it is? Do you know how to claim your God-designed purpose and embrace your unique race? In our fast-paced, high-demanded, worldly-driven lives, it can be easy to get caught up in everyday life filled with its constant set of responsibilities, obligations and demands. Therefore, we tend to neglect seeking the very purposes to which God created us to fulfill. Natalie shares her personal discovery of purpose and of how it altered the trajectory of her life and moved her closer to God. Natalie challenges you to: • Define your unique purpose and race. • Awaken you to the responsibility you have to live out your purpose for God so your story becomes God’s story playing out in your life. • Live a lifestyle rooted in intentional, disciplined time with God. • Recognize the God-assignments, both little and big, that are a part of your journey in living out your purpose. • Establish an immoveable, steadfast, rock-solid spirit that keeps you aimed at moving in the direction of your God-given dreams.

All topics are customizable to fit your unique audience and need. All are appropriate for keynote or breakout sessions and some are easily structured for one- or two-day retreats.

Break the Cycle, Embrace Your Worth Audience: Professionals, Mixed Adults, Women, MenWho are you? How do you know who you are? Who told you? As a child, adolescent, teen, what messages did you receive from the people in your life? We all have a portfolio of sorts filled with the countless messages we have received in our lives, both positive and negative. Whichever messages we received the most, we downloaded and they became a part of who we believe we are. Did you receive mostly positive or mostly negative messages? What is your view of yourself? Of others? How do you treat yourself and others? Awareness of why and how we view life a certain way opens the opportunity for growth and invites us to consider an alternate perspective. Natalie challenges you to dig deep, break the cycle of negative messages and embrace your innate greatness and worth by encouraging you to: • View life and others from a fresh, new, positive perspective. • Find the courage to build others up instead of tear others down. • Change the narrative in your marriage, families and work places, by focusing on and recognizing the positive, even in the midst of the negative. • Genuinely acknowledge and appreciate others at a level that breaks down barriers, walls and defenses and expresses the truth, “You Matter.” • Embrace your innate greatness so you can discover your unique purpose and experience deep, lasting joy and success in your personal and professional life.

Generosity’s Role in Fulfilling our Purpose Audience: Women, Mixed AdultsWe have uniquely designed roles to play, yet we have a common purpose—to be generous with our gifts in ways that build up God’s kingdom and glorify Him. In the midst of the roles we play and the dreams we dream, is daily life, filled with countless moments to witness God’s presence, accept His assignments, and be generous with our gifts and talents. With personal experiences and Biblical truths, Natalie challenges us to:

• Find and embrace the source of your generosity. • Discover the motivation of your generosity and unleash its power. • Recognize Divine appointments and be bold enough to act. • Experience the inspiration of your generosity by being filled to the fullness of God which calls you to act in alignment with your potential and influence.

Love BIG, Love BOLD—Loving In and Through the Big, the Bad and the Ugly!Audience: Moms, ParentsAs parents, it’s so easy to fall into the trap of reacting in big, bad, ugly ways to our kid’s big, bad, ugly behaviors. We have this universal desire to raise them to be confident, competent, responsible, compassionate, joyful followers of Christ who love and serve others and who fulfill their God-given purposes. Anyone? But how do we do that in the midst of daily chaos and challenging behaviors? Natalie shares her personal story of the freedom and peace she gained by loving her family the way God calls us to love. Natalie teaches you to: • See beyond negative behavior into the heart and truth of your child’s identity so you can nurture their self-worth and value. • Recognize the messages you send your children through your words and actions and how to transform them into nourishing ones that are sent consistently. • Build deep connection with your child through intentional acknowledgement and recognition that breaks through walls and defenses. • Love extravagantly in all situations and learn how to build more intimate, lasting, fulfilling relationships.

BFF: The Friend Who Will Never Disappoint You Audience: WomenWomen need girlfriends. Girlfriends are a gift from God. We have this innate longing to belong, to be accepted, to be loved. But what happens when our best friend disappoints us? When we become the subject of gossip? When we don’t get the invite? Or, when we aren’t included or feel connected? There is a battle waging on the desires of our souls. Through personal stories, Biblical truths and practical ideas, Natalie encourages you to: • Unlock the keys to discovering the intimate relationship for which we were all created. • Meet and spend time with the friend and counselor who will never disappoint you. • Stand firm against the temptations to live out of our brokenness. • Find comfort in God’s presence in the disappointments of a broken humanity. • Witness and experience the rich rewards we receive by spending personal, intimate, intentional time with God.

Awakening to God’s Design for Relationship Audience: WomenWe all come from different upbringings and backgrounds that influence the way we view and do life. Some have witnessed and experienced nurture and love and others disappointment and criticism. Therefore, we respond and react to the world, situations and relationships in various ways. Although we are vastly different, we are molded by the same hands, we are filled with the same Spirit, we are released with the same purpose, we are called to live in relationship and community with one another. Natalie shares personal stories and ageless truths to encourage you to: • Be nothing other than who you are. • Respect differences and learn to do life with one another in ways that are pleasing to God and glorify His name. • Communicate authentically instead of getting caught in the trap of judgment and gossip. • Love past imperfections to see others from God’s perspective. • Nurture relationships in ways that genuinely and honestly demonstrate your committment to Christ.
