Discover Your Story

Do you ever feel tongue-tied when sharing about Jesus? Ignite Life's Discover Your Story half-day experience is an immersive experience designed to give you tools to share how Jesus has impacted your life across the table from a friend, co-worker, or family member.

Whether you think you have a story worth telling or not, you will leave this workshop with more confidence, tools to write your personal testimony, and a renewed sense of how God is working in your life.

  • Robin Smith describes herself first and foremost as an apprentice of Jesus. In seeking the best way to use her gifts, she established Focus Consulting as a means to empower individuals, especially women in the non-profit sector, to lead with focus, confidence, and purpose. With over 38 years of experience in non-profit leadership, she offers Women’s leadership mastermind groups, one-on-one coaching, staff and board training, and speaks at conferences, retreats, and Bible studies.

     

    One of her greatest joys comes from encouraging, strengthening, and challenging others to reach their full potential and become all that God created and intends them to be.

     

    Robin serves on the Board of Directors and teaching team with Ignite LIfe. She lives in Henderson, NV, with her husband, Homer. They have two children and one grandchild. The best day ever would be a day spent either hiking in the mountains or relaxing on a beach with a really good book.

  • Shari Ziesmer is passionate about helping women find their voice and share their story of faith with confidence. A lifelong learner and teacher, she has spent years encouraging others to grow by drawing on her experiences as a wife, mom, mentor, and educator. Whether in the classroom, through music, or in ministry, her heart has always been to empower people to discover their strengths and use them to inspire others.

    With a strong trust in God, Shari has walked through many seasons of life, from raising and launching three children to building new connections in changing communities. She understands the power of telling one’s story as a way of encouraging and connecting with others. In the Discover Your Story workshop, she draws from both her teaching background and her personal walk of faith to help women share their testimony clearly and authentically, creating space for others to encounter hope, healing, and the love of Christ.
