Topics

I've spoken on the following topics before, but I'm certainly willing to discuss others with you. Sessions can be modified to meet your particular needs. Please email me for more information.


Getting the Most out of Mass - In this talk, I'll help you rediscover all Christ gives us in the Mass and what we can do to dispose ourselves to receive it. We'll walk through the Mass from entering the Church through the Mass itself and even leaving Church. This talk is perfect for lifelong Catholics, Converts, and even Inquirers.

Practical Apologetics - Defending the Faith doesn't require a PhD. I'll show your parish group how to defend Catholic beliefs in a way that is practical and easy to remember.

Getting the Most out of Sacred Scripture - Ever heard that Catholics don't know the Bible that well? How can that be when the Bible is a Catholic book? Unfortunately many Catholics today don't know their Scripture. In this series, I'll help your group to understand where the Bible came from, why it is so important, and how they can grow in their relationship to Jesus Christ by studying it. Novices to serious students of Scripture will find tools and tips to help them get the most out of every encounter with God's Word.

Best Practices in Evangelism - Even if your name isn't Billy Graham you can effectively share the Good News of Jesus Christ. I'll show your parish group how they can share Christ with their neighbors, family members, co-workers, and even complete strangers on a plane.

Musings of a Catholic Convert - Why would a Baptist pastor decide to become Catholic? In this talk, I'll share my conversion story and help the parish renew their appreciation for what they possess as Catholic Christians.

Reaching Your Teens for Christ - What is it like inside the mind of today's teens? How do you effectively reach out to them? Is there a way to compete with the entertainment circus found elsewhere? In this workshop, I'll help parents and youth leaders find ways to get teens involved in the life of the parish, build their faith, and do both for the right reasons.

Separated Brethren - Ever wanted to get inside the mind of a Protestant? Why do they ask the questions they do? Why are they knocking on your door? Don't they believe we're Christians? This talk will help shed light on our relationship to non-Catholics, particularly Protestant Christians.
