Invite Patty to Minister

Invite Patty to Minister

Biblical truth. Real-life faith. A message women can carry home with them.

Patty Garcia is an author, Bible teacher, speaker, and founder of KnowThat Girlfriend, with a heart to help women encounter Jesus, understand who they are in Christ, and confidently walk in the life God has called them to live.

When Patty ministers, women can expect more than an inspirational message. Her desire is to create space for the Word of God to become personal, practical, and transformational. With warmth, humor, honesty, and a deep dependence on the Holy Spirit, Patty speaks to women right where they are while encouraging them toward where God is calling them to go.

Whether she is speaking to a room full of women, sitting around a table, teaching a workshop, or ministering in a more intimate gathering, Patty’s heart remains the same: that women leave knowing Jesus more deeply, believing His Word more confidently, and recognizing that—in Christ—they can.

What You Can Expect

Patty brings a conversational, Scripture-centered style that feels less like being spoken at and more like sitting down with a Girlfriend who will encourage you, challenge you, and point you back to Jesus.

Her ministry often includes biblical teaching, personal testimony, practical application, prayer, and opportunities for women to reflect on what God is speaking to them. She is intentional about honoring the vision and leadership of the ministry or organization that invites her while remaining sensitive to the direction of the Holy Spirit.

Speaking & Teaching Topics

Patty’s messages and writings frequently center around:

  • Identity in Christ — knowing whose you are and living from that truth.
  • Purpose & Calling — following God’s plan instead of living according to people’s expectations.
  • Spiritual Growth — developing a genuine relationship with Jesus, hearing His voice, and learning to walk with Him daily.
  • Confidence & Courage — overcoming fear, comparison, insecurity, and the temptation to shrink back from what God has called you to do.
  • Women & Biblical Friendship — cultivating healthy relationships where women pray for, encourage, celebrate, and strengthen one another.
  • Marriage & Family — building intentional relationships centered on Jesus and faithfully stewarding the people God has entrusted to us.
  • Healing, Forgiveness & the Father’s Love — letting God meet us in wounded places and learning to live from His love rather than our past.
  • Faith for Everyday Life — bringing Jesus into our homes, relationships, work, decisions, schedules, and ordinary moments.

Many of these teachings also flow from the themes Patty develops through KnowThat Girlfriend resources, guides, devotional writings, and Tea With Three.

Who Patty Ministers To

Patty loves ministering at women’s conferences, retreats, church gatherings, leadership events, small groups, workshops, community events, marriage gatherings, and intimate women’s ministry settings.

And there is a special place in her heart for the woman who may not consider herself a “church girl” yet—the woman who is searching, curious, hurting, rebuilding, or simply following little breadcrumbs of hope toward Jesus.

There is room for her, too.
