Kirk Walden

Fundraising Speaker, Author of The Wall

A night with Kirk Walden is an evening filled with humor, challenge, vision and hope.

Kirk’s journey into pregnancy help ministry— where he has served for more than 30 years— leads through life as a sportswriter, professional golfer, and even nine years as a single dad.

Kirk, along with his wife Jennifer, is author of the book Saving Samaria: The Jesus blueprint for healing a broken culture. This book, released in Fall 2025, shows how Jesus took on the most divisive social issue of His day and leveraged this division to win the heart of a wayward culture . . . while also expanding His church into a previously forbidden territory.

And when you finish reading Saving Samaria, you will see how today’s Church can engage our toughest social issues and do the same today.

Kirk knows pregnancy help ministries, helping our clinics, centers and maternity homes raise more than $50 million. He has served as an Advancement Specialist for Heartbeat International and now hosts his own show—Coffee with Kirk—for the Pregnancy Help Podcast.

You can find Kirk’s weekly column, also titled Coffee with Kirk, at kirkwalden.substack.com.

When you hear Kirk, leave the challenges of the day behind and get ready for stories that will make you laugh, coming from a speaker with whom everyone can identify.

In addition, be prepared for a surprising view on the true impact of pregnancy help ministries all over the country. If you are ready to create a true culture of life in America—Kirk brings a powerful perspective on how the battle will be won in this generation.

Kirk lives in Hendersonville, Tenn.—a Nashville suburb—with his wife Jennifer. They have five children, ranging in age from 36 to 16. Now there’s another story waiting to be told!

First Choice Pregnancy Resource Center

This was by far the best Banquet we have jad with the biggest results.
Kirk Walden is a "must have speaker " for your next Pro Life fundraiser. His attention to detail and making relationship with you in advance .was such a blessing. His speech and engaged the audience but also drew in their hearts to who we are and our organization needs. His appeal was by far the best we have ever had. Highly reccomend. Have already been asked by several donors "will you please bring him back again?"

Kirk Walden related to the men and women at our fundraising event. He made us laugh, cry and understand the value of the work our pregnancy doing is doing to get others involved. We had new volunteers sign up, new monthly donors sign up and a great amount donated at our event. Kirk is a great speaker, and God used his story to help us reach new people support our center.

Kirk was an exceptional speaker at our 23rd annual banquet. Our guests loved him and felt connected with him from the beginning of his presentation to the end. We were able to raise the most funds at this banquet than we have raised at any of our other banquets. It was also the best attended banquet we have ever had. Thank you, Kirk!
