SPEAKING
SPEAKING
When I was a little girl, I used to stand behind the nightstand in my brother’s bedroom. Holding my daddy’s big black Bible, I’d “preach” to the cats, parakeets, and hamsters in the room. Even as a young girl, I knew I wanted to teach God’s Word when I grew up, but I had no idea what that would look like.
Dr. Howard Hendricks taught us at Dallas Theological Seminary that the goal of teaching isn’t to impart knowledge, but to change lives. And that’s how I approach teaching God’s Word—pointing women to the Bible in a way that transforms their lives.
Over the years, I’ve had many opportunities to encourage women to passionately pursue Jesus Christ through teaching the Bible. As the Women’s Ministry Director at my church for 17 years, I had the privilege of writing and teaching Bible studies for my women and challenging them from God’s Word to live wholeheartedly for Jesus. I’d love to come alongside you and encourage your group from God’s Word to passionately pursue Jesus and live wholeheartedly for Him.
TEACHING
To enhance your Bible study time, I’ve provided videos and Soundcloud recordings for Before the Throne and audio recordings for On Bended Knee. The videos for Before the Throne were recorded at First Evangelical Church in Memphis in the fall of 2020 as I took the women of my church through this study virtually. I actually wrote this during the lockdowns of spring 2020, and the original title was Strengthened Through Prayer. In the recordings and videos, you’ll hear me refer to the original title and events going on during that time. The title was changed to Before the Throne when Moody published it in 2022.
You’ll also find Soundcloud recordings of other Bible studies (some available on Amazon). Check out all the teaching resources by clicking the button below.

ON BENDED KNEE
ENDORSEMENTS
Cricket Keeth’s Bible teaching is insightful, relevant, and faithful to God’s Word. She’s ministered to women in the local church for more than 18 years and spoken at a variety of venues where she’s taken women deep into the beauty of the Scriptures. As her former professor and current friend, I’ve personally been blessed by her teaching, and I’m delighted to recommend her as your next conference, seminar, or retreat speaker.
The women in our local women’s ministry were blessed to learn about prayer through the studies: On Bended Knee and Before the Throne written by Cricket Keeth. Following these excellent Bible studies, we had the pleasure to have Crickett spend a day with our women speaking on the topic of prayer. She has a winsome, engaging teaching style that expanded the minds and hearts of our women. Crickett has a deep and sincere love for God. She inspires and motivates her listeners to draw closer to Him. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a retreat or conference speaker.
When God called me into the position of Women’s Ministry Director at Collierville First Baptist Church (CFBC), I felt like Solomon when he said, “But I am only a little child, not knowing how to go out or come in” (1 Kings 3:7b). As I was praying for wisdom on how to lead the women of CFBC well, the Lord blessed my life with godly, Spirit-filled women to come alongside me for encouragement and direction. Crickett Keeth was one of those women. Not only does she have a heart for discipleship and encouraging women’s ministry leaders, but she is also a gifted speaker.
I asked Crickett to speak at our women’s retreat, and she did more than just speak at the event—she partnered with me in prayer and planning weeks leading up to the event. She went above and beyond and spent the entire day at the retreat with us. She had a desire to know the women she was speaking to that day. She is easy to talk to, extremely relatable, and funny. She loves the Lord Jesus, and we were blessed by her coming to speak.
SPEAKING TOPICS
My passion is to encourage women to pursue Jesus Christ and live out their God-given purpose. I’ve had the privilege of teaching God’s Word to women for over 20 years—from the Women’s Ministry Bible study in my home church to conferences and retreats in the U.S. and Asia. If you’re looking for a speaker to encourage and exhort from God’s Word, I’d love to chat with you. Here are some topics to consider, but if you have something else in mind, I’d love to hear your ideas and work with you to best meet the needs of your women’s group. It would be an honor to serve you and your women.
