Dr. Kimberlee Mendoza serves as a Professor of Leadership & Humanities at Wayland Baptist University and as a College Pastor at United Assembly. A prolific author, her recent works include Matchbook, Torrid Faith, and the timely Teaching Squirrels: How to Reach Generation Z. With a Ph.D. in Leadership and a deep background in Humanities and Human Development, Kimberlee bridges the gap between academic insight and practical ministry. From Alaska to Chicago, she has spent years equipping churches and universities to ignite faith and create lasting engagement with the next generation.

Matchbook is an invitation to quiet the distractions and fan the flames of a deeper connection with Jesus Christ. In a world filled with constant "noise," our spiritual fire can easily be dampened. This challenge is designed to help you clear the debris of distractions, as well as set aside the "time robbers" that smother your spiritual spark. Like any fire that purifies, this process won't always be comfortable; it might stretch spiritual muscles and burn away old habits in ways you haven't experienced before.
However, the outcome of this journey is a life ablaze with profound change. Everyone who has taken this challenge so far has seen their closeness to the Lord rekindled. Some have witnessed miracles, others have found freedom, and more than half have caught fire for a new season of ministry.
This challenge has been likened to a Discipleship Ministry Training School in book form-a spark for the new Christian and a refiner's fire for the seasoned one.
Are you ready to take the next step and say "yes" to a more intimate relationship with God? STRIKE THE MATCH!

Dr. Mendoza is committed to making her ministry accessible to organizations and congregations of all sizes. She views every speaking engagement as a partnership and is happy to work within your budget to find a structure that honors both the host and the speaker.

How to lead a generation that's in a hurry.
A normal squirrel has the attention span of one second, but if given an acorn, its attention span goes up to four minutes. In other words, if there is something of interest, the squirrel can pay attention 240 times longer.
Like the squirrel, Post-Millennials have a short attention span. They are used to “doing,” ready to move on to the next thing. They are the “now” generation. They are restless, anxious, excited, and sidetracked. Engaging them is not an easy task, but it is possible if we can find their “acorn.” This book was written to help educators, ministers, and business trainers find that acorn to engage their “squirrels.”
