SPEAKING—Book a master teacher for your next training event or speaking engagement.

Whether you’re planning a national event, a regional event, or a special-training event for just your church, I can help. I specialize in speaking engagements that provide training for people in children’s ministry, family ministry, volunteer teams, parenting, and intentional grandparenting. Whatever you need, I’m your guy. I’ve have spoken at numerous conferences and seminars across the US and around the world training hundreds of thousands over my career. And I can honestly say, I have loved every chance to invest in the lives of those in ministry.

When you contact my team, we’ll work with you to develop a list of specific areas you desire me to address in my teaching, and then we will tailor my highly customizable services to best fit your needs. I can create unique talks to specifically address the weaknesses your team is struggling with, or you can choose one of the many teachings I’ve created from my books, blogs, and other resources.

Of all the talks and teachings I’ve had the privilege of giving, my family has been and is my greatest sermon! My wife, Julie, and I have celebrated 42 years (and counting!) as husband and wife, and we have two grown daughters who love the local church despite the fact that their dad worked in one their entire lives. I also have two of the cutest grandkids you’ll ever see with another one on the way. I love my family! We are a close-knit group.

My wife is also available to minister with me. The things we’ve discovered and learned along the way we want to pass on to others. We want to help see families thrive in their marriage, as parents, grandparents, and sons and daughters of the Father.

Let’s CONNECT and talk about what you need and how we can serve your church in person or online.

What others are saying…

“I always watch for the leader who can lead us through the challenges of our complicated world, and Jim Wideman is one of those unique men. He can lead without compromising the integrity of the mission. Excellence and value are obvious expressions when describing the leadership of Jim Wideman. Personally, I have known him for over 35 years and have admired his creativity as a gifted thinker and communicator. Some people talk about doing it. Jim has done it. I highly recommend Jim Wideman for whatever creative venue you are wanting to advance to the next level.”

“Soon after starting my ministry journey in 2001, I discovered the ministry of Jim Wideman. He was and still is a shining light of inspiration and experience in the kingdom of God. I have appreciated his friendship, and many times I have witnessed his heart to see those around him succeed, especially younger leaders starting out. His family is an inspiration, and that is really the mark of a man who practices what he preaches. Read everything he writes, and listen to what he says. It can only bless you!”
