Speaking: Rekindling the Flame
With over 25+ years of church experience as a Youth Pastor’s Wife, working with teens, women and churches, Jennifer is passionate about topics close to a woman's heart. Women who hear Jennifer speak come away impassioned to love their God more, rekindle the romance in their marriages, eager to leave a legacy to their children, and to further impact their sphere of influence.
With years of church staff experience, and an active coordinator and member of women’s ministries, experienced in co-facilitating women’s and couples’ retreats and in leading women’s Bible studies, Sunday Schools, and small groups, Jennifer loves to share with women. She speaks often at MOPS groups, women’s banquets, Sunday Schools, retreats, camps, and more. Jennifer has been married for 28 years and has three children.
Usually speaking 45 - 60 times a year, Jennifer balances speaking events with the joys of home and family too. Check her availability by emailing: douganemail@gmail.com for women’s events, MOPS groups, conferences, homeschooling co-ops, or weekend retreats.

"We decided that you were our best speaker that year!" L.M.
"Everyone enjoyed your talk so much that we'd like to ask you back to speak to our group next year. ... It's just good to know that there is someone who has the knowledge and passion to talk on this subject - and someone whom everyone agreed we'd like to ask back to speak again. I'll be in touch!" D.S.
