Jan has a way of getting to the bottom line. She is like a searchlight
moving over the dark waters looking for a response to the all-encompassing
questions she loves to ask: "Where is it written? Where is
the truth? Where is the lie?"

-- pouting, neediness, manipulation, even whining. Big girls know
how to live while little girls want someone to fix their lives for
them! Learn to be a big girl and love it!

Look At It This Way
Jan explores truths that can help us reframe the way we think, breaking us out
of our self-pity, anger, depression, anxiety, and hopelessness and equipping
us to deal with the events, circumstances, and people in our lives in a healthy
and positive way.
Please Don't Say You Need Me
People in co-dependent relationships are usually confused by conflicting emotions.
At the same time, they feel trapped between wanting to love and care for someone
else and needing to escape from that person's suffocating demands. Co-dependency
can exist in any kind of relationship—this talk offers practical, biblical
help.
