Bringing Heaven's Truth Into Today: Already Loved
Most people know God's grace is real — they just can't feel it when life is falling apart. Using a transformative tool he calls the Ona Question, Dr. Miller makes the reality of grace tangible in a way that addresses anxiety, heals relationships, and changes how people see themselves and each other.
Held in the Storm
Your audience is facing loss, depression, or circumstances they didn’t choose and can’t control. Based on his book of the same name, Dr. Miller shows them how to find solid ground when everything is shaking — without cheap answers or empty reassurance.
What Every Marriage Is Really Fighting About
Your couples keep coming back with the same problems because most marriage content treats symptoms. This talk gets underneath the surface arguments to the one unspoken question driving all of them.
Corporate
Leading From Strength, Not Fear
Most leadership problems — they’re identity problems. When leaders haven’t resolved their own fear of not being enough, their teams pay the price. Dr. Miller gives leaders a clinical framework for recognizing fear-driven patterns in themselves and building the kind of settled, secure leadership that actually earns trust.
Why Every Conflict at Work Is Really About Something Else
The arguments on your team about process, credit, and communication are rarely about those things. Dr. Miller translates 30 years of clinical insight into a practical framework for understanding what’s actually driving workplace conflict — and how to resolve it at the root.
Why Your Best People Are Falling Apart
Your top performers are exhausted and your team’s mental health is slipping. This keynote reframes burnout and imposter syndrome as symptoms of one root cause — and gives leaders a new lens for building teams that actually thrive instead of just produce.
HealthCare
The Clock Is Running: Why Depression After Stroke and Brain Injury Can't Wait
Post-stroke and post-TBI depression is one of the most significant predictors of recovery outcomes — and the window to intervene is narrow. Drawing on 25 years with residents and his own mother's stroke, Dr. Miller makes the case that addressing depression immediately after the incident isn't a mental health add-on. It's frontline medicine.
When Coping Isn't Enough: The Psychology of Chronic Illness and Long-Term Care
Residents in long-term and post-acute care aren't just managing symptoms — they're rebuilding identity. Dr. Miller gives clinicians and care teams a deeper psychological lens for what their residents are experiencing beneath the surface, and what actually helps.
Compassion Without Burning Out: The Psychology of Sustainable Caregiving
Compassion fatigue is not a weakness —it's a predictable clinical outcome. Dr. Miller reframes burnout for healthcare staff using the same psychological framework he uses with residents, and gives teams practical tools for staying present without losing themselves.
The Central Framework
Most Talks Begin With the Beloved Principles
Dr. Miller doesn't speak on topics. Every talk emerges from the Beloved Principles — an account of why we suffer at our core, and where the answer lives.
And Most Talks End with the Ona Question
After 30 years of sitting with people in their deepest pain, Dr. Miller has found that one question cuts through everything — the defenses, the theology, the self-protection — and reaches the person underneath.
"What would the version of you already safe, loved, and at peace in Heaven say to the suffering version of you now?" — The Ona Question
