"Barbara is one of the best speakers I have heard in my 30+ years in Stonecroft Ministries. She is an excellent speaker and her story touches many lives.  Her struggles and accomplishments give courage and hope to people who are struggling with a multitude of problems.  She is never negative but always shows how depending on the Lord can get us through anything."

        “Barbara spoke to four of our Outreach Groups in the Metro-East St. Louis Area in three days.  Her energy and enthusiasm never waned as we traveled from one engagement to the next.  She shares her life stories with unbelievable candor, and truly desires for other women to learn and be encouraged through sharing her many life experiences.  Barbara touches hearts in a way unlike many other speakers.  She is an amazing woman – an amazing mom – an amazing servant of our Lord!!”

She shares the procedures it takes to get from tragedy to success.  She relates how the influence of one can impact a life and challenges others to make a difference.  Travel with her as she inspires!”

“In my 40 years as an educator, social worker, non profit executive director.  I have rarely met someone as energetic, talented, intelligent, and honest as Barbara Vernoski.  As a Coach, Barbara is a client centered, nonjudgmental, loving and totally supportive and accepting of her her client's agenda.  With Barbara in your corner as your personal coach, you will identify your true wants and desires, and she will then be your partner on the journey attaining them. I consider myself extremely lucky to have Barbara as my coach, and I know you will too.”

"I have worked with Barbara Vernoski for over 6 months. It is rare to find an individual that has the skill, compassion and enthusiasm that Barbara possesses. Through her coaching, Barbara was able to meet me where I was, partner with me to exceed my limits and reach my goals. Her strong sense of faith was critical for me as a Christian Coach to help me see God's movement in areas of my personal and professional life that I was unaware of. She is an incredible cheerleader, teammate, and most importantly- coach! The best way to truly appreciate the value of Barbara's coaching, is to partner with her yourself. It is truly a Blessing!"

“It was a pleasure listening to Barbara talk about her life story and how God guided her first to become a born again christian and then later helping her grow. She has a very unique style of speaking and she is so down to earth.  She was really interesting to listen to from the serious things to the humorous!  I think anyone of any age would be able to enjoy her testimony! It was so neat to hear how God restored her marriage!  I believe many people would benefit from hearing her.

work and it was great to witness."
