2025 Events

1/16–18, 2025 | Hope*Writer’s Conference | Speaker | Charlotte, NC

“In less than an hour, Denise’s “Writing With the End in Mind” session at the hope*writers Conference 2025 changed my life and my perspective as a writer. After hearing her testimony of writing through tough challenges and her direct admonition, “Don’t waste your suffering – steward it!” I soon found myself confronted with MY own personally-fitted test.

When presented with an uncomfortable yet growth-inducing opportunity to walk out what I’d been taught, I had already received a godly example in Denise. God used her to equip me for a battle I didn’t see coming, and it was encouraging to know that victory was certain.

Denise has paid the price to walk in the heavy anointing she carries. It is evident that she is a spiritually mature woman of God who has been tempered and developed by pressure. Her very presence and her presentation broke yokes and destroyed chains of bondage in my life that I didn’t realize were still holding me captive. If you’re looking for a real-life, relatable speaker who can be touched with the feeling of our infirmities and challenge your audience with a Christ-focused message, call Denise…and get ready to take PAGES of notes and feast on an array of spiritual meat!

—Kayren Cathcart, Attendee, Author, Speaker, Coach

1/31–2/1/25 | Cultivate Women’s Conference | Keynote Speaker | Lafayette, Louisiana

“Denise was the perfect speaker for our annual women’s conference! She spoke from the heart and from an obvious obedience to the Father, and she willingly accommodated some specialized emphasis we specifically requested. Our participants were blessed by her preparation, which included detailed presentation slides and a conference notebook. As the conference organizer, I was really blessed by her willingness to speak with our attendees during breaks and meals and to pray with them for their specific requests. I recommend her enthusiastically!”

—Teri Cober, Women’s Ministry Leader, Trinity Anglican Church

2/21-2/22/25 | Refreshed Women’s Conference | Keynote Speaker | Princeton, TX | Lake Lavon Camp

We had the absolute pleasure of hosting Denise Pass as the speaker for our annual Women’s Conference, and we could not have been more blessed by her presence. From the moment she took the stage, it was evident that she speaks with both deep wisdom and genuine compassion, delivering a message that resonates with women of all ages and walks of life. Denise’s ability to weave biblical truth with real-life experiences created an atmosphere of authenticity and encouragement. Her teaching on overcoming shame was not only powerful but also deeply practical, equipping attendees with biblical tools to step into freedom and grace. Many women verbally expressed how her words impacted them personally, and it was evident that the Lord was moving through her message. Beyond the sessions, Denise engaged warmly with our attendees, taking the time to listen, pray, and connect with those who needed encouragement. Her heart for ministry and for pointing women to Christ shines through in everything she does. We highly recommend Denise as a speaker for any women’s event. Her depth of knowledge, relatable approach, and Christ-centered teaching make her a gift to any ministry. We are so grateful for the time she spent with us and look forward to the possibility of working with her again in the future!

Denise has a remarkable way of connecting with her audience, sharing her testimony, and encouraging women to rise up in faith. Her ability to clearly hear and communicate God’s truth is inspiring, and her words resonated deeply with everyone in attendance. If you are looking for a speaker who will challenge, uplift, and equip women to walk boldly in their calling, I highly recommend Denise Pass!

—Dale Mitchell, Women’s Ministry Leader, Beale Memorial Baptist Church

“I was at the conference, and I am on our steering committee. I had 39 members from our church, Howertons Baptist Church there. I have had so many compliments about your message and testimony. I don’t think there was anyone there who wasn’t touched by your message. I know some of my ladies are going thru alot currently. One just lost her husband, 3 sisters just lost their father. Some are going through deep depression. Your message was powerful and much needed. God knew what He was doing when we were searching for the “right” speaker. Thank you for being her!”

—Dawn Douglas, women’s ministry leader

She equipped each woman at our conference with the power of Scripture and encouraged everyone to dive deeper into their relationship with God. Denise uses her gift of speaking, from the Holy Spirit, to bring the good news of the gospel, disciple those around her, and apply biblical wisdom to everyday life. Our church was blessed by her message and left the conference with a new fire for the Lord!”

4/5/25 | Crowned with Honor:Breaking Free from Shame and Wearing Our Crown | Speaker | Marshall, VA | Generation Grace Well Women Annual Conference

“Denise recently served as one of the keynote speakers at our women’s conference, “Crowned.” Her presentation focused on the profound theme of identity, particularly how we are viewed as masterpieces in the eyes of God. This topic resonated deeply with our attendees and aligned perfectly with the conference’s goals.
Denise’s presentation was meticulously prepared, reflecting the time and energy she dedicated to crafting her message. Her insights into personal identity and spiritual perspective were both inspiring and enlightening. She engaged the audience with her thoughtful approach, offering a blend of personal anecdotes and scriptural references that enriched the overall experience.
The attendees were highly receptive to Denise’s message. Her ability to connect with the audience on an emotional and spiritual level was evident. Many participants expressed their appreciation for her insights and left the session with a renewed sense of self-worth and purpose.
Based on her outstanding performance and the positive feedback from our conference attendees, I would highly recommend Denise as a speaker for any event focused on personal growth and spiritual identity. Her professionalism, passion, and ability to deliver a compelling message make her an excellent choice for any conference seeking a well-prepared and impactful speaker.
