Congregations, conferences, classrooms, and workplaces. Delivered from lived experience rather than professional distance — which tends to change how a room receives it.
The clobber passages answered with actual textual rigor. What Leviticus and Romans are doing in their own context, the gender-variant believers already in scripture, and how a congregation moves from tolerance to genuine welcome. Suitable for congregations at any point on that road, including the beginning.
Beyond compliance. Why accessible design fails when disabled people are consulted at the end, what benefits systems actually do to the people inside them, and how to build programs that do not exhaust the people they serve.
For nonprofits and agencies. Why well-funded programs go unused, how verification processes turn away the people they were built for, and what changes when the people designing a service have been through it.
For nonprofit boards and leaders. What publishing your books before the ask actually costs, what it returns, and why communities with a history of being defrauded respond to it differently than general donors do.
For social work, public health, nursing, divinity, and nonprofit management programs. Practitioner perspective on serving populations that have learned not to trust institutions.
If your group needs something adjacent to these, ask. Sessions are regularly built for a particular audience rather than delivered off a shelf.
Who is in it, how many, what you are hoping they walk out with, your date, and whether it is virtual or in person. That is enough to give you a real answer rather than a scheduling exchange.

Honoraria are welcome and go directly to program — the speaker takes no salary. They are also not a requirement. Community groups, student organizations, and small congregations regularly get sessions at no cost. Ask, and tell us what your budget actually is; we will work with it rather than quote past it.
If a session is likely to draw organized opposition, tell us in advance. That is not a reason to decline — it is often a reason to come — but it changes what we plan for.
47 people were helped before we asked for a dollar. Monthly giving is what lets us say yes before the money is in hand.
