Dr. Currie Myers is a Catholic apologist, writer, speaker, and podcast host whose work is rooted in Catholic anthropology—the Church’s understanding of the human person created in the image of God, endowed with reason, free will, moral responsibility, and an eternal destiny. Dr. Myers was a former agnostic. His journey to the Catholic faith was shaped not by emotionalism or easy answers, but by years of honest doubt, hard questions, and God’s quiet persistence. His conversion unfolded through what he now recognizes as one of the Church’s most underutilized evangelizing charisms: hospitality. Through the steady witness of his wife and family, a priest, and ordinary Catholics living the faith with integrity, God patiently led him home.
Myers spent more than 24 years in law enforcement at the local, state, and federal levels, serving as a state trooper, special agent, and later as an elected sheriff. In that work, he encountered profound violence, suffering, and moral disorder—experiences that left him spiritually empty and deeply skeptical of God’s presence. “I saw things no one should ever have to see,” he reflects, “things that made it difficult to believe in a loving God.” What ultimately broke through was not debate alone, but truth embodied—when God finally spoke to his heart: “What are you waiting for? I am here.” That moment changed the trajectory of his life and vocation.
Dr. Myers served for 14 years on the faculty of the Criminology Department at Benedictine College, where he integrated Catholic anthropology, moral theology, and applied criminology. He is also the former Dean of the School of Justice Studies at Rasmussen University. As a Catholic apologist, he addresses contemporary cultural and social crisis not merely as policy failures, but as reflections of a deeper anthropological collapse—one that occurs when faith is abandoned, families fracture, and there is a lack of moral formation.
Beyond the classroom and the podium, Dr. Myers is an active Catholic writer and podcast host, using essays, commentary, and long-form conversations to defend the faith, articulate Church teaching, and engage skeptics with clarity and charity. His work consistently emphasizes what he describes as the three pillars necessary for personal holiness and social order: Faith, Family, and Formation. Drawing from empirical research and Catholic social teaching, he warns that when faith, family, and formation collapse, societies descend into disorder, criminality, and despair—ushering in what he calls the advent of feral man. A recurring theme in Dr. Myers’ speaking and writing are charisms, particularly hospitality, as a powerful means of evangelization. He challenges Catholics to see hospitality not as a personality trait or social courtesy, but as a lived expression of the Gospel—one capable of opening hearts, inviting conversion, and restoring human dignity in a fractured culture.
Myers speaks to men’s conferences, parish missions, diocesan events, academic forums, and Catholic media audiences, tailoring his talks to individual parish needs. Whether teaching, writing, or podcasting, his mission is consistent: to defend the Catholic faith, form consciences, and help rebuild a culture grounded in truth, responsibility, and hope.
