Reviews
“Katie spoke to our church in October 2025 as part of a mental health focus. She shared her story of living with bipolar as a follower of Jesus, and helped us consider our own mental health concerns within the perspective of God’s love and care. Katie’s message was a real blessing to us: she spoke with both confident faith and vulnerable honesty, and it was illuminating to hear her share personally from her own experience and reflection. Her message was both theologically founded and practical, affirming biblical truth and highlighting the real actions that have helped her develop resilience in her journey. I recommend Katie as a speaker for churches looking to resource mental health and wellbeing practices within their congregation and beyond.”
– Gareth Davies. Kumeū Baptist Church
“Katie brought us a well thought through, Biblically grounded message that was also deeply personal and open. She is living out the profound victory of Jesus in her life, demonstrating what it means to have eternal hope even in the midst of a difficult journey, and it was such an inspiration to our church to hear her story. I highly recommend!”
– Hamish Taylor. Church Northwest
