Testimonials

“If you want a speaker your women will love, learn from, and beg you to invite back — my friend, Karen Ehman, is your girl. She’s biblically sound and refreshingly real.”
Lysa TerkeurstNew York Times bestselling author
President of Proverbs 31 Ministries, Women of Faith speaker

“I recently had the privilege (and it was indeed a privilege) to hear Karen speak for the first time. Besides the obvious gift God has given her to communicate God’s timeless truths in a fresh, relevant way; four words came to mind as I listened: PASSIONATE, FUNNY, TRANSPARENT, and PRACTICAL. Having the privilege of being her pastor, what I most appreciate about Karen is that she lives what she teaches. Her passion for teaching is only matched by an even greater passion to know her Savior.”
Tony Tice — Lead Teaching Pastor

“Karen is the most thoughtful and creative person I’ve ever met. What a dear, funny and hospitable friend. When I grow up I want to be just like her.”
Lisa Whelchel — former star The Facts of Life

“Karen Ehman is a Hearts at Home favorite speaker. With large doses of humor and practical advice, she is an excellent communicator. Not only that, she’s an absolute joy to work with behind the scenes.”
Jill Savage — Founder and Executive Director, Hearts at Home
Wife, Mom of five, Grandma, and Author

“Although a funny, entertaining, intelligent and well-spoken author and speaker, what is most striking about Karen Ehman is her authenticity. Her loving and kind heart oozes through every action and every word that comes out of her. Although she had experienced pain’s refinery, her faith is unshaking, her optimism infectious, and her love for Jesus, profound. Karen is the real deal.”
Sylvia Lange — Vocalist from the musical group “Crimson Bridge”

“Karen has been a real blessing to our church family. I so appreciate the special gifts God has given her to serve the body of Christ. She has been a vital part of our women’s ministry and has also been used mightily by the Lord in conducting workshops for an outreach ministry to the disadvantaged of our community. Four things have always stood out to me about Karen:her deep love for Christ, her sincere love for people, her amazing organizational skills and her winsome public speaking ability. It is not surprising to see God using her both here in our community and around the nation.”
Tim Knaus — Senior Pastor
First Baptist Church
Saint Johns, MI

“Karen Ehman is a warm, funny and genuine speaker who makes you feel like you have known her your whole life. Her ‘tell it like it is’ style will have you laughing until your sides hurt one minute and crying with her the next minute. She is an true example of beauty from ashes and a living testimony to what God can do with the not so pretty stuff of our lives.”
Heather Vanderlaan — Coordinator of Moms and More
Grand Ledge, Michigan

“Karen Ehman is perhaps most known for the humor that pours out of her like good medicine, but I have ministered with her on several occasions and I see another side, a woman whose humility and devotion to God and family run deep. Transparency is one of the best qualities one can find in a speaker and she allows God to take her there so hearts can be softened and lives can be changed.”
Cheri Keaggy — Dove Award-Winning singer and song-writer

“If you are a mom, you’ve probably acquired some control issues. Karen not only owns up to them, but becomes a mirror for us to help us settle the issue of Who is really the one in control.”
