Sunday Talks, Inspirational Speeches, and Keynotes
Coming Out of the Dark: The Wilderness Experience and Your Divine Purpose
In the darkest of times, one of the greatest keys to surviving and thriving is your Divine purpose. Come find out how to nourish another level of your mission and emerge strong and purposeful, no matter what!
Ain’t No Mountain High Enough
We’d often like to have a mountaintop experience in our lives yet we remain mired in mundane “reality.” Identify the five mountains standing in the way of your spiritual growth and blossoming in this inspirational program. Learn how to elevate your consciousness, move these mountains, and claim your God-given right to a purposeful, happy life. Finally, find out why “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” is a love song just for YOU!
Welcoming in the Wealth of Spirit
Do you know the real meaning of the word “wealth”? Find out out how to manifest prosperity in every area of your life. This exhilarating talk focuses on key spiritual prosperity principles and power practices illuminated in Dr. Barnsley’s recently released book and audio package, Get Out of Debt and Get On With Your Life: Every Woman’s Guide to Create Prosperity with What You Have Right Now! You will leave this presentation with a clear idea of your God-given mission plus a litmus test to help you align your life with your spiritual mission.
Service with a Smile: Doing God’s Work in the World!
What does it mean to “hold a service”? How can we serve others joyfully and effectively? Why is service always reciprocal and why do studies show that volunteers live longer? In this presentation, we’ll explore these questions and reveal why serving is the key to a profound spiritual practice in which we leave our soul’s imprint on the planet. When we “go public for God” and demonstrate spiritual principles and laws through intentional service, we grow and prosper AND we facilitate growth and prosperity for others. Now that’s something to smile about!
Turning Your Passions into a Livelihood: Finding and Fulfilling Your Divine Mission
What are the fingerprints of your soul and how can you express them in this world? This presentation will help you wake up to the dream living inside you and give you practical steps and strategies to pursue it with joy and enthusiasm. It’s time to stop snoozing and get moving with the Divine Mission that is yours and yours alone!
Walking in the Light
Discover how to walk in the light every moment of every day. Using Psalm 37:4, “Delight yourself in the Lord: And he will give you the desires of your heart, ” Dr Barnsley guides you in finding your delight and creating your very own “Bliss List.” Get back in touch with the natural delight that is your divine birthright and learn to ignite your passionate mission as you heed Divine Spirit.
Freeing the Father Within
Our definitions of God have often been enmeshed in limiting constructions of masculinity and fatherhood. Dr. Barnsley shows you how and why we need to revisit the Divine Masculine, reframing our experience of it so that we embrace what Thomas Moore calls a “fathering principle” in The Care of The Soul. When we celebrate the Divine Masculine within ourselves, we awaken a deeper relationship with our Christ Consciousness and compassion for the “masculine” influences in our lives.
Mother, May I?
Just as we need to revisit the Divine Masculine, so we need to acknowledge and explore the Divine Feminine in its many forms. Using the framework of the children’s game, “Mother, May I,” Dr. Barnsley illustrates how and why we can break through limiting constructions of masculinity and femininity to embrace the Divine Mother. This “Universal Mother” is what Myrtle Fillmore called the “mother of Unity,” and is represented and embodied by each of us. It is time to make the Divine Mother proud, and this presentation shows you how.
Sweet Surrender in the Summertime
Discover how to maximize your Twelve God-given Powers, represented by the Twelve Apostles. Explore how you can misuse these powers and stay mired in negativity or you can leverage them to create the spiritual growth and personal development you want. Let Dr. Barnsley help you leave behind your mental, spiritual, and emotional baggage and become 100 % God in Action right now. You will never think of your life or the notion of surrendering to God in the same way again after this inspirational speech..
What Would Jesus Do?
This lively and thoughtful talk uses the idea of “unlikely friends”—people who seem to be different from us who become our most treasured companions—to address how and why we need to make friends with the Divine expressing through us. Dr. Barnsley offers four powerful keys to unlock your friendship with God as well as three action steps you can take to nurture that primary relationship with your Higher Self. Only by making friends with Divine Spirit can we become the full realization of our God and Christ potentia

Dr. Barnsley Brown is smart, engaging, funny, and personable and our members gave her a standing ovation at both Sunday services. Her workshop, ‘Power Up Your Prosperity: Lead the Abundant Life Now,’ drew a good crowd and everyone participated. You could tell she had a powerful impact because many purchased her books, audios, and other inspirational offerings. We look forward to hearing her speak again.
Rev. Robert Akers, Co-Pastor, Unity Church of Asheville
Dr. Barnsley is a dynamic, engaging speaker who really connects with her audience. Most of our church attendees stayed for her afternoon seminar. I recommend her for every church who is looking for guest speakers you will want to have back again and again.

In addition, Barnsley is able to intertwine spiritual principles with practical strategies to help people grow spiritually as well as personally and professionally.

Dear Barnsley, Your talk was full of energy and wisdom! Thank you so much for blessing our congregation with your message!
Alana Ennis, Retired Chief of Police, RScP, CORE Council Chair
Both Dr. Barnsley’s message, ‘Welcoming in the Wealth of Spirit,’ and her afternoon workshop, ‘Power Up Your Prosperity: Live the Abundant Life Now!’ were powerful, and attendees enjoyed both! We even had some people stay for the seminar who hadn’t planned to come, and they were really happy they did. One congregant remarked that Dr. Barnsley was ‘one of the best speakers we’ve ever had!’ Dr. Barnsley is a dynamic speaker–She is inspirational and divinely inspired! We would welcome her back at the Center for Spiritual Living in Graham, NC, and in fact, we have already booked her to return in a few months. I highly recommend that your New Thought or Interfaith church or organization have Dr. Barnsley speak for you and present one of her amazing workshops!
Sherron Herdtner, PhD, Unity of Wilmington Board President
Dr. Barnsley Brown is an enthusiastic, energetic presenter who had all our congregants engaging with her. She has an in-depth knowledge base that combines book knowledge with her life’s experiences. Her sense of humor kept all of us on the edge of our seats. You will definitely want to invite her to share her insights and message with your church!
Rev. Charles Johnson, Senior Pastor of The Well Church, Raleigh, NC
When Dr. Barnsley Brown came to us, she was a breath of fresh air–energetic, with outstanding information, and very thorough! She stayed afterward getting to know everyone and sharing herself. We continue to reap the benefits of our relationship with her, our time with her, and our experience with her. We are a predominately African American church and Dr. Barnsley communicated beyond any perceived barriers or preconceived notions to win the hearts of our congregants. Many of them invested in her books and audios and reported that they were inspired by her example and courage in living her divine purpose. I recommend that churches of all denominations have Dr. Barnsley Brown come speak to their congregations and youth groups. Your church will be empowered, educated, and encouraged by her spirited message!
Tonya Debnam, Owner of Focus Realty Advisors and Board Member, Unity of the Triangle, Raleigh, NC
Dr. Barnsley’s ‘Power Up Your Prosperity: Live the Abundant Life Now’ seminar touched the soul! She helped us identify what is holding us back and blocking our prosperity and gave each participant a do-able action item. I’ve attended a number of seminars where I was really excited during the seminar but this one was different. Dr. Barnsley revealed what I wasn’t able to see and challenged me to commit to positive change and the good I deserve. I could feel her commitment that we take action after the seminar and that was very different and refreshing. If you really want to have a life-changing experience, bring in Dr. Barnsley Brown to your church group or event!
Lorraine Lewis, Prayer Ministry Team Leader, Unity Center of Peace, Chapel Hill, NC
I’ve heard Dr. Barnsley Brown speak multiple times over the past fifteen years and what impresses me about her is that she brings her full heart and soul to the occasion and always delivers an inspirational message that supports and enhances your life. She is enthusiastic, alive, funny, and deeply aligned with Spirit. She will keep your audience riveted and will motivate people to step up to the plate and really practice their faith, living their best life! Any church that wants to have the most enthusiastic, inspiring speakers should have Dr. Barnsley Brown come present at your service, conference, or other events. Once you have heard one of her messages, you will be eager to hear more!
Rev. Angela Plum, PhD, Unity Church of Asheville
Dr. Barnsley Brown really engages everyone in the audience and encourages the spirituality of each person. She’s energetic and enthusiastic and very easy to communicate with. People leave her Sunday talks and workshops uplifted and empowered to keep walking their spiritual journey
Rev. Gail McNeil, Founder of My Sister's House Ministries, Kenansville, NC
Barnsley, I really enjoyed your seminar . . . because you are so enthusiastic and embody your topic–it is a natural part of who you are. You are deeply spiritual but the lessons you teach can reach anyone, plus you are adept at working with a diverse audience. As a result of the seminar, I was inspired not only to promote my ministry more widely but also to let people know how I can help them as a women’s speaker and self esteem builder! I’ve been putting this off for years and now I’m finally doing it! Thank you, Barnsley, for opening up my eyes and motivating me to move forward!
Rev. Victoria Loveland-Coen, Co-Minister, Unity Center of Peace, Chapel Hill, NC
Dynamic and engaging, Dr. Barnsley Brown shares from her heart and makes it personal and relatable to the audience. We have had her speak several times at our Unity, and each time people walk away with something they can really use in their lives!
Melanie Raskin, President, Unity Church Board, NC
Our Unity church highly recommends Dr. Barnsley Brown as a Sunday speaker. Her talks on foundational Unity Principles are energizing and inspiring. Funny, engaging, and always perfectly prepared, Barnsley brings a light touch to every service that opens eyes and wins hearts. Double the fun by booking one of her many workshops after the service. Tactical, targeted, timely, they deliver wonderful information, inspiring ideas, connecting activities, and plenty of good conversation. Her style and energy are a good match for a church on the grow!
Rev. Pat Veenema, M.Div. Unity New Thought Learning Center, Founding Minister
Dr. Barnsley has a powerful, engaging, original, interactive presentation, rich with examples people can relate to and grounded in Unity teachings.
Tina Morgenstein, PMP, MPH, RD, Raleigh, NC
Dear Barnsley, Thank you so much for sharing yourself and your passion with me and everyone at the Circle of Life Event at Hospice of Wake County. You are a phenomenal speaker, consistent with ‘Spirited,’ the first part of your business name. You ENGAGE. You come from the heart. You offer people information that’s valuable and meaningful to them–the second part of your business name ‘Solutions.’ And you strongly encourage us to be accountable for the actions we think are important to take. In my experience as coach, executive, and client, it doesn’t get much better than this! As a result of attending your presentation on stress and burnout, I am now looking, in detail, at how I spend my day. I’m removing all the superfluous ‘stuff’ so I can focus on what REALLY matters–spending time with the people I care about and helping all of us to live enriched lives NOW.
