Invite Sue

  • Sue was such a blessing to our group! She was incredibly intentional about the content she shared. She connected with our ladies in a deep and authentic way that was so special. She was very present and personal with each lady who wanted to talk with her.

    Kandace L.

  • I have NEVER heard the story of Hannah explained as well as you did today. You spoke directly to my heart and were so powerful. Thank you for allowing God to speak through you today.

    Melba B.

  • Thank you so much for your message on Mother's Day. It was so moving and powerful. Everyone around us was talking about it. My husband talked about it for days afterwards. Thank you for being willing to share it.

    Laura P.

  • Our ladies loved her! Lots of compliments on her teaching style and authenticity.

    Justin F.

  • Such a wonderful message. May you birth more spiritual daughters into the kingdom. I could sense a holy boldness in you as you were delivering the message. It came out with power and conviction. You are a blessing to me and many other women.

    Yamini R.

  • What a powerful message you brought this morning! It was so different from those Hannah messages! Wow, God is really working in you. Today I sat tearing up for every point you delivered because what you brought was what I needed to hear; my soul was stirred, and I left making things right with God! Thank you for being a spiritual mother.

    Yoneko S.

  • Sue hit a home run at our women’s conference. The Holy Spirit spoke through her to each woman who attended. They can’t stop talking about it.

    Lisa H.

  • Sue could have spoken on any topic and hit it out of the park. After she left, I heard comments such as ‘best speaker ever’ and ‘great, practical information.’ I immediately asked her to come back to our group next year!

    Karen B.

  • Sue engages her audience with well-crafted questions and challenges listeners to engage more deeply with Scripture for transformational growth. I highly recommend her as a guest speaker in any context.

    Marlyn D.

  • I can remember the first time I heard Sue speak. She told the story of losing her father, and it was one of the most poignant I had ever heard. Even more powerful was how she allowed her pain to shape her life so positively. She has dignity yet vulnerability and relatability that makes her message extraordinary and unforgettable.

    Renee C.

  • I just want to let you know how thankful I am for your message. God has used you to help and encourage me to continue to move forward.

    Mary C.

  • Such a powerful message from Sue!

    Ginny G.

  • What a superb telling of Bathsheba, David, and Solomon!

    Terry G.

  • Your message this morning was a real blessing! Thank you for sharing your journey with us so beautifully.

    Joyce S.

  • Just thinking about your teaching today...captivating is the word I'm thinking. It wasn't just interesting and informative but challenging. It was a delight and a blessing!

    Amy M.

  • Thank you so much for being willing to come minister to us. You are such a gifted speaker, and we thoroughly enjoyed the day.

All Sermon Speaking Topics

  • Be Like Jesus in your relationships

    In a sermon series entitled “Be Like Jesus,” Sue spoke on Mother’s Day from John 2. She took the familiar passage of Jesus’ first miracle at the wedding in Cana to talk about Jesus’ identity as Mary’s son and the Son of God. Jesus was 1) authentic–he knew who he was, 2) purposeful–he knew what he came to do, and 3) confident–he knew what he came to do.

    Miracles are outside the perimeters of the natural world, so they seem foreign and unexplainable to us. but Jesus is outside the perimeters of nature because he is the creator of nature. Miraculous living/the supernatural are just natural living for Jesus and for all his disciples. Anyone who follows Jesus can walk in the supernatural.

  • Arise and sing your song!

    Sue has preached and taught on many incredible women in the Bible who lead their families, their ministries, and their nations to trust God and live in freedom. The narratives of women of the Bible contain accounts of abuse and neglect, yet Scripture treats women with dignity and respect, a concept that was foreign to ancient writers, except for the transformation from the Spirit in their lives. Sue boldly unpacks women’s stories, which have been often misinterpreted and undervalued by ministers and teachers. Google Sue Schlesman at West End Assembly of God/WEAG Church for videos of her sermons about Bible women. Often, they are Mother’s Day sermons (but not exclusively for mothers). Always, she shares personal stories with vulnerability and courage. You are sure to laugh and cry. She has led a Bible study called ARISE for women, about Biblical women that has been powerful and profound. She loves to teach about these women.

    Her favorite women to teach about are:

    Abigail

    Bathsheba

    Deborah & Jael

    Esther

    Hagar & Sarai

    Hannah

    Jocabed

    Mary Magdalene

    Mary & Martha

    Mary, the Mother of Jesus

    Mary, the Mother of John-Mark

    Michel

    Rahab

    Ruth & Naomi

    Tamar

    The Shunammite Woman

    The Widows

    The Woman at the Well

     

    Psalm 68:11–The Lord announces the word, and the women who proclaim it are a mighty throng.
