Carol's Most Treasured Theme: Becoming a Princess Warrior for Christ ... Reigning Real
![]()
Out of all the peoples on the face of the earth, the Lord has chosen you to be his treasured possession.
Deuteronomy 14:2 NIV
How can we, as Christian women, reign real in today's increasingly wicked world without going somewhat insane or compromising God's truth?
Come celebrate your royalty in this compelling and challenging theme. Discover how to live victoriously as a Priceless Princess and a Worthy Warrior created in the King's image.
Thankfully, there is hope for all women who follow the only true King of Kings, Jesus Christ. Just like a delightfully dressed-up-princess, sometimes a Princess Warrior reigns with a scepter, while other times she brandishes a sword. Living as a Princess Warrior isn't always easy, but it is the most rewarding and exciting position any woman could possibly have. Every woman who belongs to Jesus is destined to be both princess and warrior
Join Carol, as she takes you on an exciting, biblical journey of becoming who you were created to be in Christ ... His precious Princess Warrior.
Please Note: Carol can do a condensed, one-time session on the Princess Warrior topic or the full presentation, which can be arranged in three to five sessions for your retreat or conference. Related icebreakers are available for the extended presentation, and Carol's dramatic testimony is also included.

Real Women Don’t Wear Masks … Removing False Faces
Unfortunately, many Christian women have chosen false and phony masks over the priceless identity offered to them by the King of the Universe. Like Eve, in the Garden of Eden, they, too, have listened to a lie, and rather than confronting it with the truth, have instead chosen to hide their pain, shame, and heartache behind an array of colorful or not so colorful masks.
After being hurt, instead of seeking God, one such woman vowed she would never allow her heart to be trampled again. She quickly grabbed the “Tough Girl” mask, keeping everyone at bay with her rough exterior, while underneath the mask she continued to hunger for friendship and love.
Real Women Don’t Wear Masks is designed to help women identify any masks they have hidden behind, and will provide biblical answers that help women remove and release these facades. Participants will discover that living “real” is far more fulfilling than pretending can ever be.
Shoulder to Shoulder and Side by Side Friendship by God’s Design
Carol will examine how we, as women, must strive to let go of fear, jealously, and “female competition” in order to grow in deeper intimacy with Christ and others. It’s time to lay our phony masks aside to serve and support each other in love and compassion. If you are seeking more intimate friendships, relationships where you can truly share your heart, this is the topic for you. Ladies, we need each other! God says in Matthew 18:20: For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the midst of them.
Our Fathers’ Word also states in Ecclesiastes 4:
Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone? And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not easily broken.
Let us together become the cord that is not easily broken. Let’s stand shoulder-to-shoulder and side-by-side. After all, that’s where God wants us to be!


Falling in Love with the Father: Freedom for a Woman's Body, Mind, and Spirit
A perfect teaching for a weekend retreat. A 12-session devotional Bible Study is available for $5.00 to compliment this teaching in a small group study or for individual Bible and devotional study times.
In a world filled with promises of happiness, hope, and prosperity, why are we held captive by the very things we thought would set us free and fulfill us?
Come discover on a whole new level where true freedom and happiness really rest…right at the feet of our Heavenly Father. As we learn to embrace our Lord, allowing Him to meet our every need, we will find the freedom and hope we are seeking. There is no secret formula, or perfect pill, what there is…is love, His love.
Together, we will learn what makes God so lovable by studying His incredible character. The “four P’s” demonstrated in God’s character make Him a simply irresistible King. Get ready to find freedom for your body, mind, and spirit in this insightful weekend event. ![]()
Breakthrough to a Better You!
Yes, we are new creations in Christ. But, living free as we are called to is often more challenging than we ever expected. In a sin-stained world, with our ruthless enemy seeking to destroy us, life can seem like a daunting experience filled with potholes, pitfalls, and pain. How do we live like the women we were called to be? How do we let go of the sin that so easily entangles us and become godly examples for a hurting world? Join Carol for a thought provoking weekend of letting go of the old you, to better embrace the Warrior Princess you are called to be in Christ.

PLEASE NOTE
It must be noted that as a writer and visionary, Carol Van Atta, is very flexible on her topics. She can in most cases prepare her message based on a subject or theme your group is interested in. She loves to include the audience in workshop style activities and creatively incorporates prayers and other group participation into her sessions.
Carol’s heart is to see women learning to trust God and lean on one another for support and encouragement. She makes it clear, as she teaches that she, too, struggles and is daily working out her own salvation with fear and trembling. Her hope is that the church will begin to embrace sinners the same way Christ did, with unconditional love and hope for a better future…in Him.
It’s not about perfection, but progress. Too much truth without grace can be stifling. Grace with no truth can become for some a license to sin more. How do we balance the two and love each another in the process? — ultimately becoming the godly women we desire to be? These are the types of questions that Carol loves to dive into in her presentations.
Please feel free to ask Carol if she is able to present a theme or a topic that you are interested in. If she does not believe that she is qualified or led to work on that particular subject, she will be happy to recommend other talented speakers who can.
