Speaker’s Bureau

Felicia Alvarez
Member since 03/2011
Felicia Alvarez, home schooled k-12th, graduated summa cum laude from Liberty University, where she received a B.S. in Business. A passionate artist, musician, writer, entrepreneur and speaker for Christ, Felicia hopes to encourage those she comes in contact with to pursue God centered lives. At age twenty-three, Felicia is the eldest of three children and is a product of a private Biblical home school. She is well-adjusted, social, vibrant and not afraid to stand up for what she believes in. Upon graduation from college, the Lord placed a desire in her heart to share about her home schooling journey. This resulted in the writing and publishing of her book, Exposed: The Life and Thoughts of a Home School Graduate. Excerpts from her book were in the Nov/Dec. 2009 issue of the Homeschool Enrichment Magazine. But, more importantly, the book has opened doors for Felicia to share what God has placed on her heart. As J. Michael Smith states, she is “a minority within a minority”, but even as a minority she is representative of a typical home school student. With her sweet, winsome character she will speak words that will penetrate the heart and mind of both home schooler and non-home schooler alike. Using her God given gift as a speaker, she will encourage both young and old as she shares her experiences and thoughts on home education, purity and courtship, life after high school, entrepreneurship, idols that creep into our lives, family unity, and home schooling while traveling. Your audience will be sure to relate, laugh, ponder, and leave both inspired and challenged.

My Mission Statement

I hope to encourage those I come in contact with to pursue God centered lives.

Presentations

How We Became the Three Amigos (For families and kids/teens)

Being with your siblings 24/7 is not always an easy task. Felicia (homeschooled k-12th) has two younger siblings and understands this fully. Homeschool kids have a unique sibling dilemma: you can’t escape them! You can never change groups in the event of a group project and you get tattled on for reading in the bathroom when you should be doing school… But, sibling overdose is not necessarily negative. Actually, it can be a blessing. Felicia candidly shares her sibling experience, how they went from tolerating each other to becoming dear friends, and why she is thankful for the bonding experience of homeschooling.

Is God First or Is There an AND?

The first commandment states “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” Often we overlook this commandment and do not realize how easily we as Christians are also susceptible of allowing idols into our life. Idols can range from friends and hobbies to popularity and materialism. In a way that teenagers can relate, Felicia shares her struggles with idols in her life and how she’s learned to deal with them and surrender her life and dreams to the Lord.

My Thoughts On My Home School Journey

Parents naturally wonder, “How do home schoolers turn out? Are they socially awkward? Are they ready to face the real world?” Felicia will address the resounding questions of socialization, peer pressure, and how home schooling prepared her for life as an adult. She’ll also address what your children will remember from their early years and the importance of parents pouring into their children. Through this presentation you will learn how home schooling impacts a child’s life and how parents leave a legacy which will impact future generations.

Purity Without Conformity (Young adult girls/teens)

The world has trampled purity and young women today feel a resounding pressure to give in to the world’s standards. The Lord calls us as His daughters to be set-apart and practice not just physical purity but a purity that penetrates the depths of our hearts. By sharing her life experiences on the true meaning of beauty, modesty, and courtship, Felicia imparts a message that both encourages and challenges young women to stand resolute against the cultural current.
