The Parable of the Talents is especially meaningful in this age of media. I believe it's the last story told by Jesus, because we're in the last of times before His return. If John the Baptist was the opening act for our King's first big show, are actors, models, and talent for Christ today the opening act before His finale? Are we called to prepare the way of the Lord, Part 2? To make His paths straight? To clear up the misunderstandings about the Heart and purpose of the King of kings?"
"Carey has breathed life into so many souls and unleashed so many hearts."

“Carey always speaks with boldness and clarity.”
Scott Haire
“I gained an understanding of my potential and how I 've been short-changing myself for quite some time.”
Amirah Justice
"Carey is an inspiration. Without the encouragement I received, I wouldn’t have been able to move forward. I was lifted up to find the courage to follow through. That means EVERYTHING.”
Jen Bryne
Many ladies want to be like Queen Esther, but do they know why Esther won the king's heart? Yes, her beauty was a lure, but her behavior was the hook. Carey helps girls and women embrace the beauty God placed inside of them... and to understand beauty's purpose in this modern world.
King David was a talented performer, great warrior, noble leader and fallible man. He made mistakes. Big ones. But his virtues, repentance, and love for God kept him as a man after God's Own Heart. Carey's talk will encourage men, young and old, to find the hero God destined them to be... no matter their past mistakes.
The Parable of the Talents is Carey's most popular talk. Because this age of media is unprecedented. It is the most powerful cultural influence in the world. Carey helps God's people understand God's purpose in the entertainment industry, and the roles 21st century saint are called to play.
Should the church condemn media and modern stars? Should Christian performers play it safe and stay on church grounds? Or should we be the light of the world? Should we seek the lost? Should we set the record straight about the loving heart of Jesus?
Churches talk about the Bible, of course, but very few pastors apply the Words and Great Commission of Jesus... to our modern world's challenges and opportunities: how best to spread Good News to countless millions of media fans, looking for heroes and hope!
Of all ages and types have gifts, callings, and a mandate– to multiply their talents for the glory of God. How? Wisely! Safely! Effectively! With love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control!
Parents know their kids have callings, and some of them are "born to perform". But how can parents shepherd and help them live their dreams in such a massive and confusing mission field? Carey will share how kids and teens can rise and shine, with parents involved every step of the way!
