### “You want *whom* to come speak at your church, and you’re willing to pay *how much to get this person there*?”

Each time the phone would ring I knew exactly who they were asking for and why.

*My only problem?*

*Said* Christian celebrity wouldn’t speak for less than a certain amount and a certain-sized church.

### I didn’t have the heart to tell Mr. Small Town Pastor he couldn’t afford said celebrity Christian to come speak at his church.

No matter how touching a story–and there’s always a story–churches across America are looking for ways to reach out to their community. I know this because I booked 300+ events at churches, faith based institutions, and ministries nationwide.

*But I have news for you.*

### Not one of the events I booked over a two-year span included 20-somethings.

*Why?*

My friends Darrell Allison Vesterfelt of [Prodigal Magazine](http://www.prodigalmagazine.com/?ref=dd.malinoix.com) and myself would like to introduce **Quarter Life Conference**.

*We are a FREE online conference for 20 & 30-somethings. Where you can get a chance to grab some face-time with some influential thinkers.*

*Each quarter we will introduce a new topic including relationships, the church, career, and social justice paired with high quality speakers and sponsors.*

### On March 21, we kick off our first topic of Relationships with guest speakers Dr. Gary Chapman, Bill & Pam Farrel, and more.

![Picture_3](https://dd.malinoix.com/content/images/wordpress/2013/01/Picture_3-300x135.png)After hosting [SEVENTY-EIGHT](https://devotionaldiva.com/2013/01/78-reasons-to-write-your-story/?ref=dd.malinoix.com), yes [78 guest bloggers since April of 2011](https://devotionaldiva.com/2013/01/78-reasons-to-write-your-story/?ref=dd.malinoix.com)–I decided it was time to add a few monthly columnists on the topics of daily devotionals, relationships, health & body, and events.

![feb](https://dd.malinoix.com/content/images/wordpress/2013/01/feb-545x201.jpg)February’s theme is Coping with Anxiety and Depression, and during the week of Valentine’s I will host five guest bloggers on The Gray Areas of Dating.

I have always struggled with anxiety, and I look forward to finally coming clean and talking about it with other guest bloggers who are brave enough to share along with me. I hope you’ll join and find the freedom and healing you need. Or maybe just the realization that you’re not the only one will encourage you to keep fighting and thriving!
