ENDORSEMENTS:
"The retreat with Bryan was amazing and completely changed my life! Before the retreat, I didn't believe in God, but after, I did very deeply. Thanks to Bryan, I now pray every morning and night, attend mass, and am thinking about becoming a missionary."
"Your Confirmation retreat was the LAST place that I ever wanted to be! I did not believe in God AT ALL! My dad literally dragged me kicking and screaming. Then, you gave the most amazing talk about God's love, and it spoke right to my heart. I can’t explain what happened, but it was so powerful that it changed my life! I now go to Eucharistic adoration every single week and sometimes even bring my friends as well. I am now even discerning religious life. Thank you for this change in my life!"
"Your retreat was the best retreat of my life! I'm so glad that I, and the people there with me, had the opportunity to experience this life-changing retreat. I can't wait to continue strengthening and growing my faith!!! Thanks SO much!"
"I am a Catholic young adult who was about to become an atheist until I heard you speak. I just wanted to thank you because now I am stronger than ever in my faith, and I go to Mass, young adult groups, retreats, and feel more close to God than I ever have."
"You smashed it out of the park at our men's conference! Your talk was incredibly powerful - even better than the bishops. You received the only standing ovation of the day, and I can't wait to have you back again."
"I am becoming Catholic because of you! I grew up with Witchcraft hating Christianity. I went from Satanism to Mormonism and began to have awful demonic attacks and utter despair, Then, I found your talks, and you have shown me what the devil tried so hard to hide from me: Truth. Light. Love. And Jesus Christ. I have found peace in my heart now because of you and your ministry."
"Wow! What an absolutely amazing and incredible retreat. The power of the Holy Spirit was surely present. I have never seen teenagers pray so long or so fervently. We will definitely be bringing you back next year."
"I was the kid who dressed all in black today and did not want to be at the retreat. I was rude to you and your wife. I have major depression, deep scars over my body, have suicidal thoughts, and more. Today, your retreat helped me a lot. I was able to give everything to Jesus, and He took all the bad out of me. My low self-esteem is gone, and I feel completely new! I truly am happy now. Thank you so much for this change in me.
