Who is Shareen?

Welcome to Sit In Proximity! I’m Shareen Crawford, and I’m so glad you’re here. If you’re looking for a dynamic, authentic, and faith-filled speaker for your next event, you’re in the right place. As an international speaker, I’m passionate about helping people change their proximity to draw closer to God and each other.

​

For over 23 years, I’ve been deeply rooted in the same church community where I’ve had the honor of serving as a member of the Board of Elders. My journey of leadership extends beyond the church walls, as I also led large teams in Operations and Human Resources as a working professional. These experiences have given me a unique perspective on leadership, relationships, and the power of proximity in both personal and professional spaces.

​

But why is proximity so important to me?

​

Because I’ve seen firsthand how it transforms lives. My own story is a testament to this truth. One day, a neighbor chose to change their proximity to get closer to my family. They extended love, and built a relationship, and through those actions, we encountered Jesus. That single act of love didn’t just change me—it changed my entire family’s legacy.

​

I’m forever grateful, and it’s this spirit of transformation that I carry into every message I deliver. I’m committed to walking with you on your spiritual journey, encouraging you to step out of your comfort zone and into meaningful connections with God and others—especially those who are different from you.

​

So, sweet friend, grab something to sip on, settle in, and let’s take this journey together. Whether you’re planning a conference, a church retreat, or a leadership event, I’m ready to bring a message of faith, love, and proximity that will inspire your audience to live out the Gospel in tangible ways.

​

If you’re ready to book me as your next speaker or have any questions, I’d love to hear from you. Let’s make it happen together.
