Speaking

• Who is Jesus Christ? Getting to know the Lord in the Catholic Church
Pope Benedict has emphasized the need for Catholics to draw close to the person of Christ. He has said that intimate friendship with Jesus is that "on which everything depends." In this talk I emphasize the multitude of ways in which we can draw closer to Christ in the Catholic Church. Some of these ways include:
- Sacraments: we meet Jesus directly
- Scripture: the Word of God written leads us to the Word of God incarnate
- Tradition: follow the path to Christ laid down to us by our forefathers
- Sacramentals: see how our physical world leads us closer to Christ
Christ instituted the Catholic Church in order to draw us into intimate communion with him. Come hear how to deepen your relationship with Christ in the Catholic Church!

• Encountering Christ in the Scriptures - Reading the Bible Spiritually
The Catholic Church has a rich tradition of reading and meditating upon the Bible. In this talk I walk through the steps to read the Bible as the Church reads it.
• Evangelize! (Without being a Street Preacher)
Most Catholics are deathly afraid of evangelization, but every follower of Christ is called to evangelize their family and friends. In this talk I give practical advice on how to evangelize the Catholic way!
• From Ignorance to Bliss - the story of my conversion
Jesus Christ has touched my life in many ways and the way I'm most grateful for is his leading me into the Catholic Church. Hear the story of my conversion from Evangelical Protestantism into the Catholic Church.
