How to Love Your Morning
Many women wake up every day carrying the weight of the day ahead. Before their feet hit the floor, their minds are crowded with worry, exhaustion, grief, or a sense of falling behind.
Jennifer understands. But then she studied every single one of the 200+ mornings mentioned in the Bible. In doing so, Jennifer made some life-changing discoveries, which transformed not only her mornings, but her entire life. She found that morning is often where God meets His people with fresh mercy, renewed hope, and clear direction. Again and again, Scripture reminds us that God’s compassion is not depleted by yesterday—His mercies are new every morning.
In this talk, Jennifer helps women reimagine the start of the day as a holy invitation rather than a daily hurdle. With biblical truth, vivid storytelling, and practical wisdom, she shows how God uses mornings to restore weary hearts, steady anxious minds, and call His people forward with purpose.
Women will leave reminded that no matter what yesterday held, God’s mercies are new—and the day ahead is filled with hope.
This message is for women who wake up feeling scattered, discouraged, or unsure how to begin again. It offers a hope-filled vision for the new day—one that doesn’t depend on perfect circumstances or polished routines, but on the faithful God who meets us anew each morning and changes the way we live, one beginning at a time.
Growing Slow
So many of us want to slow down, but the idea feels like an impossible dream.
Jennifer found a path toward slower living—even in the midst of full, demanding seasons of life—and she wants to share it with you.
In this talk, Jennifer helps women move from a place of depletion and hurry into a life-giving, sustainable pace. With Biblical truth and vivid storytellling, Jennifer reflects on lessons she learned from living on her fifth-generation family farm—and the wisdom she gathered from the purposeful, yet never rushed, life of Christ.
This message charts a path out of the pressures of bigger, harder, and faster, and into a way of living that is restful and deeply satisfying. It’s not about what you DO. It’s about what you UN-DO.
Stuff I'd Only Tell God
Many women carry questions they’re afraid to say out loud—questions about God, faith, suffering, unanswered prayers, or whether their belief is “strong enough.” They love God, yet quietly wonder if doubt disqualifies them.
In this deeply honest message, Jennifer shares her own story of wrestling with doubt and discovering that her questions did not push God away—they drew her closer to Him. Through Scripture, testimony, and tender reflection, she shows that God is not threatened by our uncertainty, nor does He abandon us when our faith feels fragile.
This talk offers hope to women who feel stuck between belief and disbelief, longing to trust God but unsure how. It reveals a faithful God who welcomes our honesty, meets us exactly as we are, and patiently grows us over a lifetime.
Stuff I’d Only Tell God reminds us that faith is not about having all the answers or holding a perfect confidence—it’s about placing our imperfect trust in a perfect God who never lets go.

As an event planner for 15+ years I’ve worked with many speakers and artists. Jennifer Dukes Lee is one of the best. She was one of our main stage speakers for our GEMS conference, which serves leaders from across the USA and Canada. Jennifer has a heart for God and women. She comes ready to serve, not to be the spotlight of the event. Her endearing, down-to-earth personality draws women in and meets them right where they are. Jennifer speaks with clarity, passion, and a biblical knowledge that encourages and challenges women to grow deeper in their faith. And after the event, her teaching continues! Through social media and her blog posts she extends the conversation and encouragement past the event and into women’s daily lives. Jennifer is a humble, kind, and thoughtful encourager who I’m honored to recommend.
Jennifer has a heart for women! She spoke to over 300 at our Beautiful Life Women’s conference and moved them to lay down their approval scorecards. Her passion to see women set free is inspiring! She brings a message that gets right to the heart of the matter with great compassion. She is relatable, witty, and super sincere. We loved her so much we invited her back!
