You will be hard pressed to find a more dynamic, engaging, inspirational, and well-informed Catholic speaker than Bryan Mercier. Bryan is one of the few speakers who can speak powerfully and equally to both adults and teens on a wide variety of topics. For more than two decades, Bryan has given powerful keynotes, inspiring Parish Missions, wonderful youth talks, apologetics seminars, workshops, and more. He has been aired on TV and radio including Sirius XM Satellite Radio, Ave Maria Radio, Relevant Radio, and EWTN.
Bryan is the President of Catholic Truth, an organization that reaches millions of people across the globe through ten social media platforms and hundreds of articles in 5 languages. You would not believe how many non-Catholics and former Catholics Bryan has brought back to the Church due to his preaching, and how many more stayed in the Church who were planning to leave.
Bryan is on-fire and loves to spread to love and fire of Jesus. As a college student, Jesus transformed Bryan from an angry, hateful, and depressed teenager who dressed all in black to someone who now overflows with Christ’s love, joy, peace, and new life! Bryan’s conversion revealed his life’s purpose — to save souls and transform lives – to ignite God’s love, light, and fire in as many lives as possible while building up the Church.
Bryan is the President of Catholic Truth and a professional apologist who sets Catholics on fire for their faith. His goal is to help them to know, love, live and defend their faith. He is the author of two books: Counterfeit Spirituality:Exposing the False Gods and Why Do You Believe In GOD? He holds a Master’s Degree in Theology from Holy Apostles College and Seminary.
Bryan is professional, relatable, and easy to work with.
