Peg Arnold encourages and inspires all through engaging stories of God's love and grace.
Who is Peg Arnold?
I am a Christian speaker and author who speaks to the many different seasons women walk through: joy, loss, struggle, and waiting.
Through compelling storytelling and biblical teaching, I help women recognize God’s presence and purpose even in uncertain seasons. While every story is unique, the emotions are often shared: fear, doubt, and the desire to be seen and known. Each message consistently points to God’s compassion, patience, and faithfulness as the foundation for healing and growth. My heart is to encourage women to abide in Christ, embrace their God-given identity, and walk forward in the hope found in a relationship with the living God. I partner with churches, retreats, and conferences to deliver messages that resonate long after the event.
Key Takeaways for the Audience:
1. Recognize God’s presence in every season, including the hard and hidden ones
2. Release hurt and striving by embracing God’s grace
3. Move forward with hope, grounded in identity in Christ

My Passion
My passion is helping women recognize God’s presence in every season of life, especially the ones marked by pain, waiting, or uncertainty. I love to create spaces where women feel seen, known, and reminded of who they are in Christ. Through Scripture, storytelling, and drama, I help women experience God’s love, grace, and faithfulness in tangible ways.
My ministry began with bringing stories to life. First, through the humorous “Ladies,” a portrayal of various female personalities, and later added women of the Bible. Drama is a powerful way to breathe life into God’s Word, and it continues to shape my speaking, teaching, and storytelling today.
My prayer is that you will find my ministry engaging, encouraging, inspiring, and equipping, as I bring stories to life.

My Joys and Challenges
My joys in life include being a wife and mother of two married adults and now Nana of eight grandchildren. I valued the years I spent as a math teacher and counselor, helping students navigate the many challenges of the middle school years. Serving and supporting staff and parents were an integral part of my mission. I have grown through my involvement in women’s studies, Christian Education, and music ministries. I constantly struggled to balance all these responsibilities, derailed by distractions and unexpected challenges. Amid these overwhelming years, the Lord opened doors allowing me to bring these experiences to life through speaking, writing, and drama. I am honored to be used as His vessel at women's events across the country.
My Mission & Core Beliefs
My mission as a Christian speaker is to be a vessel of the Holy Spirit empowering and equipping others to begin, develop, and grow in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ through Biblically-based messages inspired by the Holy Spirit. Encouraging women to realize how they are dearly loved and cherished by God is my heart’s desire.
I Believe:
God sent Jesus Christ to offer salvation and eternal life. Through His death and resurrection, God offers forgiveness and through accepting His grace we are able to establish a relationship with God and this is available to all who believe.
Jesus requires us to live by two greatest commandments, Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.
The Holy Spirit empowers us with gifts, graces and insights to carry out the will of God.
