Keynote or message
A single, focused talk for a Sunday service, chapel, banquet, or event — hope-filled and practical, tailored to your theme.
Speaking
Invite Bret to speak
Invite Bret Legg to speak at your church, conference, retreat, or event in Augusta, GA or beyond. He teaches warmly and practically on marriage and "Normal Marriage," family and parenting, recovery from sexual abuse, personal growth, and living biblical truth — sending people home with real hope and next steps they can actually use.
What he speaks on
Topics
Three decades of counseling and Bible teaching, distilled into messages that meet people where they really live.
Bret speaks the way he counsels — honestly, warmly, and with hope. Each topic can be shaped for your audience, from a single keynote to a multi-session series.
Most-requested: the "Normal Marriage" framework — the down-to-earth, God-designed marriage that's real rather than perfect — and gentle, hope-forward teaching for ministries walking with survivors of abuse. He also brings practical, Scripture-rooted messages on growing in faith, drawn from his "2-Minute Truths" and the "Quick Counsel" podcast (see the resources).
Ways to have him
Formats
However your gathering is shaped, there's a fit — from a single message to a weekend retreat.
Class or sermon series
A multi-week class or teaching series — for example the "Normal Marriage" class — that lets a congregation or group go deeper over time.
Marriage workshop or retreat
A half-day, full-day, or weekend experience for couples, blending teaching with honest conversation and real, take-home tools.
Conference breakout
A focused breakout or seminar within your larger event — on marriage, family, recovery, or growing a faith that holds.

What to expect
Prepared for your people, not off the shelf
Before he ever steps up to speak, Bret wants to understand who's in the room. He'll ask about your audience, your hopes for the gathering, and what you'd love people to walk away with — then shape the message to fit, rather than reusing a one-size-fits-all talk.
The tone is warm and plain-spoken: real stories, clear biblical truth, and practical next steps people can actually carry home. He's glad to coordinate timing, format, and any follow-up resources with your team, and to point listeners toward further help when a topic touches deep wounds.

Frequently asked questions
How do I check Bret's availability?
Send your event date, location, and a little about your audience through the contact page. Bret will follow up to confirm whether the date is open and talk through what you have in mind.
Will Bret travel to our church or event?
Yes. Bret is based in Augusta, GA and serves the CSRA in person, and he travels for events beyond the area as his schedule allows. He can also join some gatherings by video when travel isn't a fit.
Can you customize the topic for our audience?
Absolutely. Every message is shaped around your people and your goals — whether that's a marriage retreat, a recovery-ministry training, a sermon series, or a single keynote. Just tell him what you're hoping for.
What about honorarium and travel costs?
Those are handled simply, through a friendly conversation. Reach out with your event details and Bret will work with your budget to find an arrangement that fits.
