Extreme Makeover: Seeing Yourself through the Eyes of Christ
Whether it’s losing weight, having cosmetic surgery, remodeling the house, or even finding that dream job, everyone seems to be taking the topic of makeovers to extremes. Long before the words “extreme makeover” were part of our everyday vocabulary, motivational speaker and broadcast-journalist Teresa Tomeo was learning the hard way that true happiness and fulfillment can’t be found in one’s appearance, job, or home but only through faith in Jesus Christ.

In this inspiring presentation you’ll learn how Teresa’s extreme makeover was done not by a plastic surgeon or a home-improvement specialist you might see on TV, but by the great physician Himself, the Lord Jesus Christ. Teresa will share how the media and its influence have impacted her own life and will also provide seminar participants with the tools needed to makeover their media habits and positively impact the culture. |

Handmaids of the Lord; Re-discovering the Dignity of Women
Radical feminism, the liberal news media, and Hollywood have been busy for decades convincing women and society that the Catholic Church is an oppressive institution interested only in domination and control.

The Media and the Culture of Death
When most people think of the media and its consistent promotion of the culture of death, they sometimes limit the spin doctors to the news media alone. But as Teresa Tomeo points out in this eye-opening presentation, the corruptive campaign promoting abortion, birth-control, euthanasia, and sexual promiscuity is insidious and has crept into virtually every area of the mass media and our culture including advertising, music, TV and radio, Hollywood, and even children's programming. Teresa shows us the depth of this problem and how we can engage rather than give in to the culture of death.

So many Americans seem to have more when it comes to materialism and their professional lives. They have the big job, the big house, and the brand new car. But why do the studies and psychological tests show that more is equaling less when it comes to happiness? Motivational speaker and talk show host Teresa Tomeo answers that question through her own inspiring personal testimony. For many years she worked as an award winning radio and TV reporter in her home town of Detroit. Despite her success and recognition something was missing. Then through a series of events she came back to Christ and the Church of her youth. Her life has never been the same. Hear her testimony and find out how she learned to tune into the signals God was sending her and how to follow His will for her life. Learn how her re-commitment to Christ eventually led to a communications career much different than the one Teresa had planned for herself and how the Lord continues to accomplish in her life more than Teresa could have ever imagined.
Myths and misinformation abound in media coverage of pro-life issues. The blatant media bias combined with the constant stream of violent programming and sexually promiscuous messages from Hollywood, TV programming, and the music industry make for a hostile environment for pro-life messages as well as add to the over all desensitization as it relates to the dignity of the human person. Yet it’s crucial for pro lifers to realize that we ignore the media at our own peril.
