He is an engaging speaker who inspires each individual to cultivate a deeper intimate relationship with Jesus Christ.

At the core of every message, John inspires and challenges people to step out of their comfort zone, Awaken the Saint Within and have confidence in God’s greatness, as Pope Benedict states, “Man was created for greatness—for God himself.”

John continues to grow and deepen his personal relationship with Jesus through gratitude, prayer, sacraments, family life, household chores, and the help of Mama Mary and the Saints. His calling is to share his love of Christ with others and help them deepen their own relationship through simple but intentional prayer, actions and sacrifice.
