Signature talks
Hope in the Dark: Christ’s Faithfulness When You’re Weary
After a brain injury left her with more than 50 symptoms — memory loss, seizures, confusion — Lora learned what it means to hold on when you can’t see the way. Through that season, postpartum depression, and raising two daughters with special needs, she discovered that it was always faith, and it was always Him. This talk gives weary hearts permission to be honest and a reason to keep trusting.
Your audience will leave with: freedom to bring their pain to God · a biblical view of suffering · practical ways to hold on in the dark
Ideal for: Women’s retreats, special needs and grief ministries, moms’ groups, conferences
Answering the Hard Questions of Faith
If God is good, why is there so much suffering and evil? Drawing on years of teaching logic and apologetics, Lora walks audiences through the hardest objections to Christianity with clear reasoning and a pastor’s heart. Believers gain confidence; skeptics get honest answers.
Your audience will leave with: clear answers to common objections · confidence to share their faith · tools for talking with skeptical friends and children
Ideal for: Apologetics events, youth and college groups, homeschool conventions, men’s and women’s ministries
Trusting Mightily, Surrendering Wholly
From licensed stockbroker at 18 to Army intelligence analyst to homeschooling mom of five, Lora has learned that the life worth living is the one surrendered to God. With humor and candor, she shows how God uses even our failures for His glory — and invites audiences to trust Him with everything.
Your audience will leave with: a bigger view of God · freedom from performance and fear · a renewed call to bold, surrendered faith

What hosts are saying
★★★★★ Rated 5 out of 5 across 10 recommendations on WomenSpeakers.com
Lora Ziebro is one of the best public speakers I’ve heard. She is humble and confident at the same time, knowledgable and thorough. She speaks from careful study, and from the heart. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Rev. Mike Khandjian
Chapelgate Presbyterian Church
It is my honor and pleasure to write this recommendation for Lora Ziebro. I first met Lora in an adult Sunday School class and quickly learned three things, she is a committed Christ-follower, she has a remarkable, but hard story to share, and she is a gifted communicator. Knowing this about her, I asked her to share her story in our Christian school during a chapel service attended by about 300 middle and high school students. Lora quickly connected with the students and won their undivided attention. One could almost hear a pin drop. They hung on every word she spoke. It was a story of God’s redemptive work in her life and a message of hope to any students who were struggling in family relationships.
I would not hesitate to have Lora speak again and I strongly recommend her to you.
Rob Van Ness, Headmaster
Chapelgate Christian Academy
I have heard Lora Ziebro speak on a number of occasions about various topics. She is an engaging, genuine, and dynamic speaker who communicates biblical truth with love, humility and grace. Her obvious love for the Lord and His Word shine forth when she speaks. She has written several excellent books and is an expert in the field of Apologetics. Additionally, she speaks with wisdom about parenting, marriage, homeschooling, raising special needs children, logic and Christian Ethics, Christian living, evangelism, and digital addiction. Listeners come away from her messages encouraged to know and follow Jesus and glorify Him, equipped to share the gospel and live out the faith practically, and know and apply biblical truth. My faith has been sharpened by her wisdom and walk with God.

Lora is dynamic. She has experience and knowledge in an enormous range of roles and subjects. She is one of those rare leaders, that can adapt to any audience put before her. Her high energy stage presence and ability to quickly establish rapport with her audience, comes naturally. She speaks to every group as if they are all known to her and she truly enjoys being there with them. Lora is an overcomer who honestly shares all the trials that she has endured and the suffering she has felt. Each hurting person in the audience will hear that she genuinely understands what deep disappointment and heartache is. She explains how she has been able to forgive those who hurt her and pursue reconciliation that seemed impossible because her identity is in Christ and not circumstances. She teaches that abundant survival means, continuing to lay each burden down at the foot of the cross and sincerely trusting the plan of our all knowing able God.
Tonya Cherry, Director: Special Needs and Mental Health Ministries
Chapelgate Church
I heard Lora speak at an evangelism seminar several years ago. I was blown away by her knowledge of the Bible, her ability to connect with the audience, and how she made me feel confident to start sharing my faith more boldly. She has this passion for the Lord that is so evident as she speaks. Clearly speaking is one of her spiritual gifts. If you have an opportunity to hear her speak, do it by all means!
Mrs. Linda C.
FCF Church
Lora has a remarkable fervor and passion for Christ. I appreciate how she is able to share the gospel in an inspiring and non-intimidating manner. Lora is able to dissect the bible in a manner that compels the hearer to have a greater hunger and thirst for the truth. She is a strong apologist and an evangelist to the lost – those who are seekers and those who don’t even realize they are seekers. Lora is a gift of the Lord – His Beloved.

Beyond words, Lora’s actions reflect her unwavering commitment to her faith, serving as a genuine role model. I am confident that she will be an outstanding addition to your event, inspiring and uplifting all who have the privilege of hearing her speak.

My sweet sister Lora is a powerhouse of Biblical knowledge through her commitment to studying scripture and seeking truth which comes with sifting out dross. Our precious Holy Spirit has graciously taken Lora and her family on many a treacherous journey to find new depths of solid ground in Jesus for life’s most heart wrenching trials. Lora’s humble and curious nature draws those hungry for pearls of hope we as Christian’s can hang our hats on and stand firm in.
