Please contact Steve if you would like him to give one of these or other talks to your group or organization.

Winning the Real War on Terror: Engaging the Enemy of God: While many people are concerned with the war occurring in the Middle East, there is a much more sinister war that has been happening since before the world was created. The war on Satan is the real war on terror, and it is as fierce as ever, with assaults centering on the meaning of life, love and sexuality. It can seem as though it is impossible to overcome this enemy, especially when he attacks us at our weakest moments. By re-learning God's plan for our life, we will be able to enter into this conflict, experience real victory over our limitations, and obtain that love for which we all long.

Introduction to The Theology of the Body Seminar: This four-part series presents the Good News of Jesus Christ in a way unknown to most Catholics. God has designed us to experience true love, yet often because of misunderstanding the beauty of our bodies, we are filled with emptiness and pain. By walking through John Paul the Great’s glorious vision of the human person, we can be healed and reclaim the glory that Jesus Christ came to give us.

The Meaning of Masculinity:  What does it mean to be a man?  There are so many solutions offered by the secular world that fail to live up to the deepest longings of the masculine soul.   So often it is easy to misunderstand how we, as men, are to relate to the world, especially in relation to the opposite sex.  By uncovering God’s plan for our lives, we will be able to reclaim the original intention for our lives and learn that what it means to be a man is written right into our sexuality.  Steve’s powerful—and often humorous—presentation is a witness to the power of Jesus Christ to transform our lives and discover how to live our lives as a gift for others.

The Meaning of Femininity:  What does it mean to be a woman?  There are so many images that that our culture promotes that fail to reveal the full glory of a woman’s dignity. These confusing notions often leave a person lost, causing a great mistrust of others (especially of God and men).  Through Steve’s unpacking of John Paul the Great’s understanding of the ‘feminine genius,’ women can begin to reclaim their intrinsic dignity as a beloved daughter of God and learn how to receive the love that every woman deserves. 

Dating and Discernment:  What is dating and discernment all about?  In Christianity, discernment is a buzzword that is confusing for some people.  In addition, our society gives the impression that if you’re not married—or at the very least, dating—then something is seriously wrong with you.  However, the truth is that singlehood is a great gift.  It is the time where a person is able to look honestly at their gifts and how God is calling them to the service of others.  Through Steve’s very real—and witty—look at the struggles and successes of discernment and dating will bring great hope in your pursuit of the will of God.

The Legacy of John Paul the Great:  In 1978, Karol Wojtyla was elected Pontiff of the Catholic Church.  Little did the world realize that this previously unbeknownst Cardinal from Poland would affect the lives of everyone on the planet.  Among his many gifts to the world, the greatest of these is his Theology of the Body.  Never heard of this?  It’s not surprising.   This treasure that has the power to end the Culture of Death is something that faithful Christians are just beginning to discover.  Come along with Steve as he gives a brief guided tour of the impetus for the true sexual revolution, and you will discover why the Theology of the Body is the legacy of John Paul the Great.

YOUTH TALKS

Adam and Eve’s Kids on a Date: Who are Adam and Eve’s kids? We all are! But the biggest difference between our first parents and ourselves is that Adam and Eve never had to date. But for those of us who want to be married, dating is what we must go through, and this is often a very difficult road. By utilizing the principles of Theology of the Body, we are able to uncover the truth about dating and courtship. Come alone with Steve as he unpacks the nuts and bolts of the road to marriage in a very entertaining and powerful presentation.

The Meaning of Masculinity—Calling All Heroes: Inside the heart of every man is a desire to be a hero—courageous, self-sacrificing men who are willing to lay down his life so that someone else might live. The world gives out many ideas about men that does not satisfy the masculine heart and often leaves us empty. Through Steve’s powerful witness, he will help young men discover the hero inside of them and give them the tools to live out their call to greatness.
