Always Faithful Radio Host, Athena Dean Holtz, has been speaking to groups, large and small, for over 30 years. Her passion is to see believers come to a place of understanding the undeniable faithfulness of God, no matter how difficult our circumstances might be. Her background of coming out of the deception involved in a spiritually abusive church environment, combined with her years of ministry to wives of Vietnam veterans and other trauma survivors who’ve suffered with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, gives Athena a unique perspective. Her own struggles and quest to heal in an authentic way has equipped her with an enormous capacity for compassion and empathy, along with scriptural answers to the struggles we face when we’ve been hurt by others. Her 30+ years founding and developing four successful companies (including one of the most successful Christian publishing companies) also gives her additional resources to offer different groups.
Athena is available to emcee your event, speak for women’s retreats, business groups, luncheons, conferences, workshops and keynote sessions.

I thoroughly enjoyed Athena’s presentations … In fact, her delivery was so engaging that I lost all track of time. The topic was timely, and she presented the material in a way that everyone could understand. She offered valuable information and a personal story of hope. She is a captivating speaker who talks about difficult material with both sensitivity and humor. She exceeded my expectations. I hope to have her return and assist in future events.
