“Jenny was a fantastic breath of fresh air for our church at just the right time. She came highly recommended to me and I was not disappointed. Jenny is highly relational and personal, connected very well with my congregation, spoke with confidence, humility, and competence, had great ideas and important and salient observations and stories to help shape our understanding. She brought our current reality into sharper focus and helped to our congregation understand the importance and benefits of restructuring our church governance. She is calm, clear, believable, winsome, and delightful to listen to. If you bring her to help your organization, you won’t be disappointed.”
Rev. David Parker, Pastor, Oak Harbor First United Methodist Church
“Jenny is a powerful communicator, both by pen and spoken word. Her words are chosen with intention and reach the hearts and minds of people across a multitude of generations. She has a warm demeanor, a lovely personality, and a delightful sense of humor. She engages with ease and grace one on one and from the pulpit. I would welcome her as a pastor and/or leader anytime.”
Erin Henderson, Bend United Methodist Church
"Having Jenny Smith speak to our community was a pure delight. Her relevant topic was very meaningful to many members of our community. Her willingness to be open and honest, in a room full of strangers, was very powerful and her warm words and profound message will be remembered for a long time. We look forward to welcoming her back soon."
Cindi Pedersen, Administrator, Everett Unity Center for Positive Living
"Jenny is a soul-full leader who communicates in beautiful, thoughtful and brilliant ways. I am inspired by her depth of insight, willingness to be vulnerable and commitment to palms up living."
Rev. Amy Aspey, Short North Church
"Jenny brought her whole truth to us and allowed us to acknowledge and be open to our own truth, as well. Jenny is a gift and I look forward to learning more from her along the path of life and ministry." - Kathy
“People want to come out of a spiritual retreat changed. They want to learn something new about themselves and their relationships with God and others. They want to deepen their connections with the people there. They want to laugh with each other and may want to cry with each other. They want to feel good about the experience at the time – and afterwards. They want to feel they aren’t done at the end. They want a brave space to be vulnerable if they choose. The structure of the retreat should not allow naturally dominant personalities to dominate. Jenny's leadership provided all that for us.” - Brian
“Rev. Jenny Smith is not only a powerful speaker, but also uses her messages to invite people into a space of contemplation and grace. After Jenny spoke at our church, many remarked on the way her message moved them to address some of the feelings and thoughts that they had been repressing. In one Sunday, Rev. Jenny made people look inward and reach out to each other - any sort of community-based organization would benefit from that experience.” - Abby
