As the founder of STAND FIRM, it is my passion and life mission to ensure as many women as possible are equipped to know WHO GOD SAYS THEY ARE, discipled to walk boldly in the Dunamis power of the Holy Spirit, and no matter what biscuits are flying, they are able to STAND FIRM on God’s Word.
SIGNATURE KEYNOTE
When Biscuits Hit the Fan: YOU ARE WHO GOD SAYS YOU ARE
Life can feel overwhelming at times. Relationships get messy. Fear creeps in. Disappointments happen. Unexpected challenges show up out of nowhere. Sometimes it feels like all the biscuits are flying at once.
Whether a woman feels broken, discouraged, exhausted, stuck, confused, or caught in self-condemning thoughts, or simply hungry for deeper intimacy with the Lord, she will be reminded that her circumstances do not define her. God’s Word does.
No matter how many biscuits are flying, YOU ARE WHO GOD SAYS YOU ARE.
This message is a biblical based teaching designed to:
- Equip women to know WHO GOD SAYS THEY ARE
- Disciple them to live boldly in the Dunamis power of the Holy Spirit
- And regardless of what biscuits are flying to STAND FIRM on God’s Word
This signature message is my foundation; however, I am happy to tailor the emphasis and desired outcome to your audience, your event theme, and what you hope the women will receive from our time together.

WHEN BISCUITS HIT THE FAN

YOU ARE WHO GOD SAYS YOU ARE.
When Biscuits Hit the Fan is a daily guide that will equip you to not only recognize the lies the enemy tries to plant in your mind but also eliminate them.
I know what it feels like when the ALL biscuits hit the fan. I have gone through some major Flying Biscuit seasons.

TESTIMONIALS
Wow - from Michelle
WOW Cathy. Very excellent work!! This is going to change many lives. Beautiful!!! WOW. I am so excited for you❣️💜 So proud of you!❣️feel like squealing I’m so excited for you🥳
Love - from Colleen
Cathy, I listened to your chapter as you read it (Love that option to actually hear you read it!) and I am so struck by the absolute wisdom of your words. Could you have possibly give any more sound counsel? These are absolute truth and perfectly practical. Totally a FEAR ANTIDOTE and words of life in the midst of this time.
The scripture you gave is absolutely perfect and timely. Love that you have a daily corresponding action: speaking the word out loud and making a personal affirmation and then taking an action step. Cathy, I didn’t know exactly what to expect but this is better than anything I expected.
It is just wonderful. I am so proud of you and want to see this book go out to as many women as possible. I feel God’s favor and blessing on it Cathy, which reaffirms that this is HIS idea. You have been obedient to do what He is calling you to do now and stay away from the projects that He is “not” in, which means that you are in His perfect will.
You are such an overcomer Cathy. I have seen you walk through so much disappointment, discouragement, setbacks and seeming delays, but you have never given up. You have never lost your faith in the One who holds you life in His hands. You have been steadfast and not let go. You have persevered. And you will receive from Him one day the overcomer’s crown.
Vision from Suzie
I want you to know I have read through your vision statement and it is truly stellar! It is obvious how thoroughly you thought this through and how much of your heart you put into it. You explained things really well, even the way you briefly mention your own journey that got you to where you are now. The goals are very clear, and the benefits of this community were expressed in such a way as to provoke a desire for it. All your hard work and time are very evident Cathy. May the Lord put it before the eyes of the women He is drawing to become a part of this journey with you!

CATHY’S FLYING BISCUIT TRAIL
MEET CATHY
Cathy has never been someone you could put in a box or an office cubicle. She has always chosen a different path than most. While many people settle into one career and stay there for twenty years, Cathy has spent her life embracing new adventures, pursuing new challenges, and saying “yes” to opportunities most people would never dream of.
For more than twenty years, Cathy skied more than 300 days a year, whether she was hiking the backcountry, skiing untouched powder, or making turns at one of the country’s incredible ski areas.
Cathy also worked as a full-time ski patroller and served on an elite search and rescue team alongside her search and rescue dog, Angel, who was trained in avalanche, wilderness, and water rescue. During those years, she served as an avalanche forecaster for CAIC/CDOT, trained CDOT highway crews across the state, and performed avalanche explosive-control work in some of the most rugged mountain terrain.
Some of Cathy’s other passions include backpacking, mountain biking, kayaking, and living and traveling in her van. She has also led a women’s hiking group as a ministry for more than ten years.
Along the way, Cathy built multiple businesses, including one well into six figures. She has mentored business owners, owned a virtual project-management company supporting entrepreneurs for many years, and has always been passionate about equipping women to pursue the vision God has given them.
But like everyone else, Cathy has also walked through seasons when the biscuits were flying. However, she refused to let those seasons define her. Instead, they revealed the foundational truth of God’s Word and transformed the direction of her life.
Whether she is teaching the Bible, speaking at an event, leading a community, or sharing stories from a mountain trail, Cathy’s heart is always the same: to bring women closer to Jesus.
