Speaking
Honest stories, biblical truth, and a little dry wit. I want folks to laugh, think, and leave knowing what to do on Monday morning.
Banquets & fundraisers
Your banquet is one of the most important nights of the year. It’s the night your community sees the work… the volunteers, the staff, the families. Then they’re invited to be part of it.
I’ve spent years in rooms like that. I know what you’re carrying going into that night, and I want to help you carry it well. My message is built around your ministry, and it leads naturally into your appeal, so the ask feels like an invitation and not an interruption.
How I help you plan the evening
We talk early. Before the event, I’ll get on a call with you and your team to learn your story, your goals, and your community.
We shape the night. I’m glad to look at your program with you… the flow, the timing, and the moments that matter most.
We set up the appeal. My message is written to hand off naturally to your ask, so people are ready to respond.
I show up as a friend. I’ll stay and meet your people, and I’ll be cheering for you long after the tables are cleared.
“Our staff and board truly appreciated his time pre-event and willingness to help us improve our banquet and zone in on the key aspects to create a wonderful and successful evening for our supporters…We exceeded our goal…”

Churches, conferences & men’s events
I’m a pastor at heart. I was a kids pastor for three years, and I love the local church. I’m available for:
Pulpit supply
Keynotes and conference sessions
Marriage and parenting conferences
Homeschool gatherings
Men’s retreats and fatherhood events
What happens on Sunday matters. So does everything that happens between those Sundays.
He is especially gifted in engaging men.

For banquets and pregnancy help events
They Raised Their Hands
A thank-you to the people who showed up when somebody had to, and an invitation for the community to stand beside them.
Becoming the Somebody Else
Loving your neighbor sometimes means stopping. A story about a broken-down van, two strangers, and what it looks like to show up for the woman who walks through the door tomorrow morning.
The Church and the Pregnancy Center
The church’s role in partnering with pregnancy centers, walking with people through abortion recovery, and strengthening men and fathers.
For leaders
Courageous Leadership in a Confused Culture
Leading with conviction and gentleness when the culture is loud and the pressure is real.
Gospel-Centric Leadership
Leadership that starts with the Gospel and flows out of it, not out of performance.
Caring vs. Carrying
We can care about every fight without carrying every one. Finding peace and focus in the work God actually assigned you.
For churches, families, and men
Hero, Ghost, Villain
From the book. An honest look at the kind of dad we’re becoming, and how imperfect dads can grow, lead, and love well.
Between Sundays
Discipleship happens at the dinner table, at work, and with the neighbors. Raising a generation that knows what’s right and has the courage to do it.
Thank You for Staying
Twenty years of marriage and the ordinary decision to keep showing up.
A Different Spirit
The world doesn’t need more outrage. It needs Christians who sound like Christ.
God Is Not Overwhelmed
Faith doesn’t pretend the storm isn’t real. It reminds us the storm isn’t sovereign.

Andrew Wood speaker and testimonial reel (2026)
"Andrew communicates a deep love for the work of pregnancy help and the local church in an engaging and thought-provoking way. His down-home style undergirds a powerful clarity on the vital mission of helping women at-risk. You'll be blessed to have Andrew inform and inspire your community."
– Jor-El Godsey, President, Heartbeat International
"Andrew was great! Many of our guests stated, 'Andrew was the best speaker to date.' His humor was well timed and not over the top! He 'gets' this movement as he is hands on and that was well communicated."
– Next Step Resource Center
"Andrew is so conversational. His keynote was less of a lecture or presentation, and much more like a conversation with a friend. He had people laughing, while at the same time putting forth a challenge to connect actions to words."
– The Care Center
From the folks who were there.
"Andrew did an excellent job covering the content we asked him to share. His communication style was easy to follow. The value and sanctity of life was shared with truth, clarity, and compassion. Andrew was a joy to work with in the planning process and I would highly recommend him as an event speaker."
