Spirit-Led Success Summit: The Spirit of Christmas

Living the True Spirit of Christmas Every Day

Hosted by Nikki Cruise

December 8 to 14, 2026 | 7-Day Virtual Summit | 2 Days Live + Prerecorded Presentations

What if the true spirit of Christmas shaped how you lived, led, and built your business every day?

Christmas reminds us of God’s extraordinary love, the gift of hope, the promise of peace, and the joy of giving. These Kingdom principles belong in our everyday decisions, relationships, leadership, and business practices throughout the year.

The Spirit of Christmas, part of the Spirit-Led Success Summit series, brings together Christian entrepreneurs and leaders to explore practical ways to build with God while carrying the heart of Christmas into every season.

We’re inviting Spirit-led Christian speakers to connect love, joy, peace, generosity, humility, hope, and faith with the real work of running a business.

We’re Looking for Speakers Who...

Do you...

Help entrepreneurs build businesses rooted in love, faith, and Kingdom values?
Teach practical strategies for leading and serving others with integrity?
Equip Christian business owners to market, sell, and grow without compromising their values?
Inspire others to embrace joy, peace, hope, and generosity in everyday life?
Help entrepreneurs strengthen relationships, communication, and collaboration?
Teach biblical stewardship of finances, time, gifts, and opportunities?
Encourage servant leadership, humility, and authentic influence?
Help business owners overcome fear, pressure, comparison, or burnout?
Equip entrepreneurs to build sustainable businesses while remaining aligned with God?
Demonstrate how the principles of Christmas can influence everyday business decisions?

If so, we’d love to explore partnering with you.

What This Summit Is For

Our purpose is to equip faith-driven entrepreneurs with encouragement, fresh perspective, and practical business applications grounded in Kingdom mindset and Kingdom living.

We want attendees to leave better equipped to:

Make business decisions guided by faith and biblical wisdom.
Lead and serve with love, humility, and integrity.
Build meaningful client relationships and Kingdom connections.
Market and sell through authentic service.
Steward their time, money, gifts, and opportunities faithfully.
Create sustainable growth while protecting their joy and wellbeing.

Who You’ll Be Speaking To

Our audience includes Christian entrepreneurs, business owners, coaches, service providers, and leaders who want to grow God-honoring businesses while remaining aligned with their faith and calling.

Women and men are welcome, at every stage of business.

Whether attendees are laying their foundations, growing an established business, or stepping into a new assignment, they’re seeking practical teaching that helps them bring their faith into the way they work, serve, and lead.

What Every Talk Includes

Each presentation should connect the true spirit of Christmas with everyday life, leadership, or business beyond the Christmas season.

Every speaker’s message must include:

Practical teaching consistent with biblical values. You do not need to preach a sermon, teach a Bible passage, or include Scripture quotations. We welcome speakers sharing their message or professional expertise through strategies that reflect Christian principles and do not conflict with biblical values.
A practical business or leadership example showing the principle at work.
A reflective question attendees can apply to their own circumstances.
A clear action they can take right away.

Speakers must also provide a valuable free resource relevant to their presentation or the summit audience. This should offer practical or educational value, be accessible without credit card information, and go beyond an invitation to book a consultation.

Presentations should focus on teaching, encouragement, and practical application. Any paid offers shared during a presentation require prior approval.

Speaker Participation Options

Live Speakers: With Workbook Placement, $97

Live speaker participation includes a featured placement in the official summit workbook. Live speakers are exempt from the 25-attendee opt-in requirement and the associated potential $47 charge, and are still expected to promote the event.

Prerecorded Speakers: With Workbook Placement, $97

Prerecorded speakers may choose a featured placement in the official summit workbook for a $97 investment. Speakers choosing this option are exempt from the 25-attendee opt-in requirement and the associated potential $47 charge, and are still expected to promote the event.

Prerecorded Speakers: Without Workbook Placement, No Upfront Fee

Prerecorded speakers who do not choose workbook placement agree to actively promote the summit using their unique referral link, with a minimum target of 25 verified attendee opt-ins. If fewer than 25 verified attendees register through that link by the close of event registration, the organizer reserves the right to charge a $47 speaker partnership investment. This condition will be clearly stated in the speaker agreement and acknowledged upon signing.

Nikki and Jane will coordinate speaker placement, workbook participation, and any individually approved arrangements.

Promoting the Summit Together

We want this summit to reflect the heart of Kingdom community: each of us contributing to an experience that serves and encourages others.

Every speaker will receive a unique referral link and promotional resources. All speakers are encouraged to share the summit with their audiences and networks, including those exempt from the minimum opt-in requirement.

The 25-attendee minimum and potential $47 charge apply specifically to prerecorded speakers participating without workbook placement.
