"Emily Oakley has an obvious call to girls and women to encourage them to properly deal with contemporary issues they are facing. I highly recommend any youth leader to have Emily come and help equip you as a leader or use her anointed speaking gift to challenge your students."

"Emily's love of Jesus fuels her passion to love people and see God's truth produce hope and healing. "

"Emily Oakley is an outstanding speaker with the ability to convey a message with honesty and depth in a captivating way. Very few individuals have earned the respect of our teenagers like she has through her sincerity and compassion. Because of her humor and insight, she is one of our most requested guest speakers from both adults and students."

"You will see greater emotional health coupled with deeper spiritual maturity in the lives of believers who engage in this process of change."

Rev. Jerod Yancey
Lead Pastor
Hope Anthem Church, Ottawa

“Our church thoroughly enjoyed the ministry of Emily Oakley. In a world full of compromised values and confused identities, Emily brings a timely message with much laughter and meaningful transparency on how to navigate life’s messiest topics in a biblically sound and trustworthy way. Every single person in our church that attended her event walked away with handle bars on how to deal with life healthier. We are continuing to see the results, months after the event. I pray everyone would strongly consider having her do ministry to the couples in your organization.”

Rev. mackenzie witzke
Youth pastor
First Assembly, Garden CIty

“Having Emily Oakley visit in our youth ministry was perfect. Emily is someone I can trust to deliver what God wants and to do it gently and firmly all at once. I am also glad to have her because I'm confident in the connections the kids will make with her. I know if they contact her for help later, she will guide them and encourage them. Basically, I don't have to worry about an aspect of quality with Emily. She hits all of the targets of ministry on the bullseye. I am thankful for Emily as a friend and resource to Students, Pastors and Churches.”

"We here at GracePointe AG in Winfield had the privilege of hosting Emily Oakley at a community wide Truth (Youth Rally). Emily is a delight as a person and a great communicator to youth. I appreciate her authenticity and willingness to be obedient to the voice of God. One thing that thoroughly impressed me was her willingness to stay with the altar call until God moved! Lives were touched and serious sin issues were brought to the surface. I would invite Emily back anytime!"

Nick Taylor
Youth leader
Encounter Church
Great Bend, Kansas

“We invited Emily to come because of the way that she connects with students. There is a realness about her that they can identify with. I would definitely recommend her to other youth groups to speak!

Kenny Bates
Youth Pastor
ZAIK Church

“We wanted to have someone who could be real and transparent and speak on a difficult subject matter. Emily is anointed and called by God to share her story and encourage many others who have walked a similar road.”

Rev. Hannah Peoples
co-Lead Pastor
Mission Hill Church
Topeka, KS

“Emily is a great resource for students and leaders. She does not shy away from the truth, but delivers it with grace and humility. Emily will challenge your group (whether adults or teens) to wrestle with their sin and shame issues and to come out on the other side as a new creation. She is an excellent communicator, great counselor, and friend to all she meets.”
