Speaking that sparks courage, compassion, and change
Whether you’re planning a faith-based retreat, nonprofit training, leadership summit, or Sunday morning message, I bring a trauma-informed, justice-rooted approach that creates space for honest conversations and real transformation.
As a speaker, I meet people right where they are, with grace, clarity, and biblical grounding.
My sessions are more than lectures; they’re invitations to wrestle with hard truths, reimagine what’s possible, and take courageous next steps toward healing and justice.
Let’s create space for your community to grow together.
Kristen Brock is a trauma-informed theologian, speaker, and social justice advocate who helps Christian women navigate the tension between the faith they inherited and the Jesus who calls us toward liberation.
With a blend of authenticity, biblical depth, and lived experience, she teaches on courageous faith, racial justice, emotional healing, and the transformative, disruptive love of Jesus.
Whether preaching, leading workshops, or guiding tough conversations, Kristen inspires hope and action for a more just and compassionate Church.
Let’s talk about…
From Comfort to Conviction: a gospel centered conversation on race
What’s a white girl doing talking about race?
In this powerful talk, Kristen shares her journey of raising bi-racial sons and how it opened her eyes to the church’s ongoing struggle with race. Grounded in the gospel, she invites listeners to examine how our faith communities have often fallen short in loving and honoring our brothers and sisters of color—and how we can do better.
God's Heart for Justice:A scriptural journey into justice and mercy
What if Jesus didn’t want social justice to be so controversial?
In this timely and thought-provoking talk, Kristen explores the tension many Christians feel when faith, personal beliefs, and social justice collide. Grounded in Scripture and full of grace, she offers a gospel-centered lens on faith, bias, and compassion—helping believers move from fear to faithful, courageous engagement. In a divided world, this message equips listeners to navigate today’s most pressing issues with clarity, conviction, and the heart of Christ.
The wounds we don't see:
How the church unintentionally harms the hurting
Drawing from her experience raising adopted sons from the foster system, Kristen sheds light on the unseen wounds of childhood and generational trauma—and how the church, often unknowingly, deepens those wounds through silence, judgment, or spiritual bypassing. Grounded in empathy and the gospel, this talk calls the church to become a place of safety, not shame, for the ones who come carrying invisible pain.
