Chick-fil-A Support Center ( Headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia )
Amanda delivered an incredible message at Chick-fil-A Devotion last year, speaking with an unmistakable enthusiasm and a holy weight that conveyed the deep significance of sharing God’s word. Her passion for Scripture shone through every word, leaving a lasting impact on everyone in attendance.
Amanda’s message centered on God’s light within us and our call to let that light shine brightly in the world. Her words were both challenging and deeply encouraging, urging us to take action and live out our faith with boldness and purpose. She also emphasized the importance of disciples encouraging one another, a theme that resonated deeply with me and continued to inspire my walk with Christ for months after her talk.
I left her message not only uplifted but also called to respond, to truly embrace the mission of reflecting God’s light in my life. Amanda has a unique gift for connecting with her audience, blending heartfelt conviction with actionable truth, and I am grateful for the way her message continues to shape my faith journey. If you ever have the chance to hear Amanda speak, don’t miss it… you will leave renewed and inspired to live out your calling! - Christina Hibbs

"Amanda Reed is a spirit filled speaker instructing with wisdom and kindness. I have enjoyed her podcast, Living Out Loud, for years. Two years ago she spoke at our church’s annual Women’s Christmas Dinner and she was like the cherry on top of the sweetest night. Her testimony ministered to so many women and fully ignited our women’s ministry to look for opportunities to serve our community with a renewed fire. God is using Amanda in countless ways and The Spirit is alive in her teaching!"
