~What Others Say~
“Margaret Feinberg is one of the most gifted writers and communicators I know. She is also one of the nicest people I know! Her teaching is inspired. Her spirit is genuine. And her message touches hearts and changes lives! I'm very possessive of our pulpit at National Community Church. We only have a few guest speakers every year. Margaret is one of them. Every time she speaks she challenges my head and my heart and makes me want to become more like Christ.”
- Mark Batterson (Pastor - National Community Church)
“I highly recommend Margaret Feinberg as a conference speaker. I have had the opportunity to see so many speakers from behind the curtain thanks to my days at Promise Keepers and with our Fusion Conferences. Because of my experiences, I am constantly looking for someone who can not only captivate a crowd, but also has a legitimate Christ honoring life to substantiate their words. Margaret Feinberg loves Jesus Christ with all of her heart. Yes – she will have the audience on the edge of their seats, but more importantly, her words will come from a well of tremendous personal character and a devotion to family that is so rare and so needed. These attributes are contagious as she speaks.”
- Marc McCartney (Director of Events – Rightnow Campaign)
"I remember sitting down in a workshop room as they introduced Margaret, whom I had not previously known. Her topic drew me into the room, but her presentation drew me into her heart. Her relaxed persona coupled with her humorous yet convincing portrayal of "Twentysomethings" only reinforced my belief that this is an incredible generation. When I saw her face in the Top 30 Voices Under 30 crowd I thought, "Absolutely!" After spending time with her, I have discovered a person that is as genuine across the table at dinner as she is addressing an audience. The best description I can give for Margaret is a loving, God-seeker who takes the hand of the generation before her and the hands of the generations beside and behind her and joins them all together. Then, as she creatively presents her understanding of God they see Him in fresh ways causing them to fall in love with Him, some for the first time, and for others of us, as if it were the first time. It is a privilege to recommend Margaret to you."
- Tammy Dunahoo (National Director – Foursquare Women)
