WHAT IF YOU COULD LOVE YOUR LIFE AGAIN?
Christian Speaker, Author, Life Coach
REDISCOVER JOY. RENEW YOUR MIND. TRUST GOD.
I’m Lena Giffoni—a Christian speaker, author, and life coach.
It is deeply meaningful to me to encourage people as they move beyond fear, worry and anxious overthinking and rediscover joy, purpose, and deeper trust in God.
RETURN TO JOYFUL LIVING
Sometimes we do not lose our faith. We simply lose our sense of joy.
We continue doing what needs to be done, but life begins to feel more like a list of responsibilities than a gift. We become so preoccupied with solving problems, preparing for what might happen, and carrying the needs of others that we stop noticing the life unfolding around us.
I know this place because I have lived there.
There was a time when fear, anxiety, and constant overthinking affected nearly every part of my life. I loved God and believed in Him, yet I still had to learn how to bring my thoughts, emotions, physical responses, and uncertain future into His presence.
My journey back to joyful living did not happen in one dramatic moment. It began through many small returns—to God’s promises, to gratitude, to beauty, to caring for the whole person, and to recognizing that God was present even when life did not feel certain.
This is the message I now share with others: you do not have to wait until every problem is resolved before you begin living again.
A RETURN TO GOD, JOY, AND HOPE
Returning to joyful living does not mean denying pain, ignoring reality, or forcing ourselves to feel positive.
It means learning to live with an awakened heart in the middle of a real and imperfect life. It means noticing the thoughts that keep us trapped in fear, renewing our minds through God’s truth, and creating space for gratitude, wonder, beauty, and hope.
It also means remembering our True North.
In navigation, True North provides a stable point of orientation when the landscape changes and the way forward is difficult to see. In life, circumstances change, emotions fluctuate, and the opinions of others can pull us in different directions. But God’s character, presence, and promises remain steady.
When God becomes our True North, we may not see the entire road, but we can take the next faithful step.

RETURN TO JOYFUL LIVING
Reclaiming Life from Fear, Anxiety, and Toxic Overthinking
What happens when we still believe in God but no longer feel fully alive? In this message, Lena shares how fear and overthinking quietly diminish our capacity for joy—and how renewing the mind, returning to God’s presence, and recovering gratitude and wonder can help us fall in love with life again.
FINDING YOUR TRUE NORTH
Discovering Purpose and Calling in Every Season of Life
Purpose is not limited to one career, title, or stage of life. Our calling may take different forms as we grow, experience change, raise families, begin again, or enter an unexpected season. This presentation helps people recognize God as their True North and discover how their gifts, experiences, and present circumstances can point toward meaningful service.
HOW TO TRUST GOD
Prayer, Discernment, and Making Decisions When the Way Forward Is Unclear
How do we trust God when we have prayed but still do not know what to do? This practical and encouraging message explores honest prayer, spiritual discernment, unanswered questions, the fear of making a wrong decision, and the courage to take the next faithful step without demanding complete certainty.
"Working with Lena Giffoni produced a cataclysmic shift in my perspective- and more so in how I FEEL about my future. She has a gift of laser sharp focus, clarity, and analysis- all wrapped in a gentle, compassionate, feminine way."

“Lena helped me rediscover myself and recognize the validity of my dreams. After years of traveling, I began to feel that I had lost my roots and my sense of purpose.
Through our conversations, I gained greater clarity about my talents, dreams, fears, and the obstacles holding me back. Lena continues to help me reconnect with myself and find my purpose again.”

"I've spent most of my life trying to stay out of the spotlight and avoid unnecessary attention.
I’ve struggled with fear and social anxieties that have often prevented me from using the precious gifts God has given me to serve His church.
Until I met with Lena.
She helped me overcome my anxiety and see how God could use my weakness for His glory."
— Lisa, Ministry Leader
MY INTERNATIONAL MINISTRY
In addition to my English-speaking work, I lead an international Christian ministry for Russian-speaking audiences around the world. This ministry grew from my desire—and what I believe is God’s calling—to reach more people, including those who may never attend a conference, retreat, or church event but are searching for encouragement, spiritual guidance, and renewed hope.
I use Russian as a shared language, not as an expression of nationality or political identity. It allows me to connect with people from Ukraine, Europe, Central Asia, Israel, the United States, and many other places who come from different backgrounds but often face similar questions about faith, fear, uncertainty, purpose, and trusting God through difficult seasons.
This ministry is where the practical Christianity I speak about becomes deeply personal. Behind every screen is a real person who may be carrying anxiety, loneliness, grief, unanswered prayers, or uncertainty about the future. I want each person to feel seen, encouraged, and reminded that they are not alone and that God is still present in their story. Through biblical teaching, prayer, honest conversations, and practical guidance, I show how faith can meet us in our everyday thoughts, emotions, decisions, and relationships—and gently lead us from fear toward greater peace, renewed hope, and deeper trust in God.
