Speaking
BRING HOPE AND HEALING TO YOUR EVENT, CHURCH, OR TEAM.
Michael Cusick weaves his story of brokenness and redemption with scripture and timeless theological principles. Each presentation brings surprising insight and hope to the unique needs of each audience. No story is too far gone for God to write a new, bright chapter. No trauma is too deep for grace to heal.
Invite Michael to speak at your event or learn from his decades of experience developing Restoring the Soul’s one and two-week intensive approach to therapy. His ability to combine the delicate art of counseling with personal, often humorous stories, translate the often daunting aspects of Christian spirituality into practices and personal soul care frameworks. Michael offers audiences a lasting, memorable, and transformative experience.
Audiences receive an enlightening perspective on their life story, deeper insight into the workings of the human heart. Listeners also gain a practical understanding of how the brain influences our outward spiritual walk and a greater appreciation for the role God plays in renewal and growth for the whole person.
Relying on the timeless wisdom offered in Scripture and ancient Christian practices, Michael’s talks resonate with listeners seeking an opportunity to engage in honest discussion about the impact of being fully known by others and by God in their faith, profession, the arts, culture, and the larger world.
Michael often speaks to groups of 20-3,000+ at churches, conferences, and retreats. He can bring talks crafted for main-stage keynotes, event breakout sessions, leadership training, speaker panel Q&As. He leads customized multi-day intensive retreats in the Colorado Rockies and workshops around the world. His work is endorsed by numerous prominent leaders, theologians, pastors, artists, writers, and mental healthcare professionals.
