Keys-HarrisYour audience already knows the Scripture. They’re still not experiencing peace.
Alyshia helps Christian women close the gap between what they believe about God and how they actually experience Him — so your listeners leave with clarity, language, and a way forward that doesn’t rely on trying harder.
About
The gap between knowing Scripture and living in peace
Alyshia Keys-Harris is a follower of Christ, wife, and mother of five — and a learning designer who has spent nearly two decades studying how people actually change. She began her career as a secondary biology teacher before stepping into her work at Harvard’s Graduate School of Education Teaching and Learning Lab, where she partners with faculty to design online learning experiences grounded in research, behavior change, and real-world application.
That work revealed something simple but often overlooked: knowing something and living from it are not the same.
Over time, that gap stopped being theoretical. In a season marked by unexpected loss — the kind that presses against everything you say you believe — Alyshia came face to face with the beliefs she had formed about God in moments of disappointment and waiting. What she found wasn’t immediate peace. It was the slow recognition that effort wasn’t the issue — and that the beliefs shaping her experience of God were either supporting her… or working against her.
Today she helps women identify the unseen beliefs shaping their lives and relationships with God — and guides them through a process of renewal that is both spiritually grounded and practically lived.
“Many believers know the truth of Scripture well. The deeper question is what they are actually living from when life feels hard.”
— Alyshia Keys-Harris

Who This Is For
Women who love God deeply — and are tired
This message resonates most with women who are often the most faithful people in the room. They show up, serve, pray, and seek — yet carry a weariness they may not have words for.
If your audience is full of women like that — this conversation will meet them exactly where they are.
What Your Audience Will Walk Away With
Recognition of the hidden beliefs shaping their relationship with God
Understanding of why effort alone hasn’t created lasting change
Language for patterns they’ve been living but couldn’t name
A new way of seeing their struggle — not as failure, but as something that can be understood and changed
A clear, grounded next step toward a steadier, internal peace — the kind that holds even when life doesn’t
