What People Are Saying:

 
“In reading some of what you have written, the tone and substance of your work are notes we are seeking to strike here at our church. We want to tie our work less to the fads of the the evangelical landscape and more to the Great Tradition and historic Christian orthodoxy. ... We are desiring to feed our church with a steady diet of teachers who stand within that stream.”
— Sam Paschall + Jamin Goggin, Co-pastors of Mission Hills Church San Marcos
 
 
“Wise, compelling, relatable, humorous and packed with relevant Biblical truth—this is what you can expect from author/speaker Ashley Hales. Like a breath of fresh air, she delivers her wise words in the most colorful, unique, engaging way.”
— Terri Kraus, President of Redbud Writers Guild

Past speaking engagements include: The After Party Live! launch event; The Gospel Coalition national conference; Reformed University Fellowship wives retreat; denominational conferences, and various church lectures and events.
