I'd love to come speak at your event, conference, church, or organization. Please visit the contact page here. For a short biography, click here.
In addition to teaching Catholic moral theology and Church history for 6 years, I also like to speak about spirituality, prayer, beauty, evangelization, the lives of the saints, religious freedom, culture, Christian persecution and anything theology related. If you'd like to view one of the talks below hosted by the Institute of Catholic Theology you can do so by visiting their web site here.
I write talks based on your topic needs, requests and preferences.
