I first encountered him when the Ascension Religious Education program used the Chosen curriculum for the middle school classes. It was then that I learned he's a well-known Roman Catholic speaker, and I quickly came to understand why. He has an energetic style as he answers the Great Commission to proclaim the Good News, and how it's truly Good News for us on a personal level.
He's at the head of Real Life Catholic. ON a weekly basis, he releases a new video, many of which are interviews with people who present great insights on topics related to the spiritual life, like Maggie Craig on friendship. He hosts Reboot events at parishes across the country. I had the chance to attend one of these events in Orland Hills a few years ago and I talked with him for a moment during the event.
Last year, I heard him speak before 60000 people at the final day of the National Eucharistic Congress. Even as he spoke before a huge crowd in Lucas Oil Stadium, I still felt that energetic style that resonated with me on a personal level. The driving point of his message is that we're loved by God, and we're meant to grow in a relationship with Him and share this amazing reality with others. Case in point, he lives what he preaches.
