We see what we are looking for, we get what we expect. We are naturally wired to see what is negative and wrong in the world. If we can re-train ourselves to see all as grace, all as gift, we can begin transforming the way we see the world, and this in turn will change how we live. Meet Sam->

For those struggling in their marriage, here are a few ways to renew your hope in having a thriving relationship! Meet Simon ->

I never really practiced my Catholic Faith growing up. Then God woke me up: A fatal car accident left me in a coma, and the doctors wanted to euthanase me. But I survived. Today, I feel more than excited to be Catholic. I feel honored. I get to share the faith with people now! All because the Faith finally brought me back home. Meet Brenden ->

Pope Francis wrote in Joy of the Gospel, “there are many Christians whose lives seem like Lent without Easter.” Too often, as Catholics, we forget that the Gospel message truly is good news! The power of the Resurrection is offered to us by Jesus. The good news should permeate our lives so we can be radiant in joy and share that with the world. Meet Taylor ->

Religious vocations get years of training. But what about us, the laity? In our own vocations, we need intentional and strategic formation just as much.

Catholic women often feel trapped in a certain mold or concept of “vocation”. In honor of the Pope St. John Paul II’s 100th birthday on May 18th, let’s dive into the truth of the dignity and vocation of women at all stages and seasons of life. The complementarity of lay and religious women is critical to the life of the Church and to the overall happiness of women! Come discover the gift only YOU can give, because of the gift that YOU are. Meet Rachel ->

In a time when many are retreating into themselves, our Lord, the Good Shepherd looks to his sheepdogs to step into the field and do what only they can do: sing. Now is the time to bring them home. Meet Patrick ->

I have learned strength from my pain-filled past, insights from my faith journey, and my conversion to Catholicism brought me empowerment and home in the Church! Now I am ready to set this crazy world on fire! Meet Nicole ->

What do you see in your future? What truly ignites a fire in you? Think about your hopes and dreams, and try to find one reason why Catholicism will get in the way. You can’t! Catholicism gives us purpose! Meet Dave ->

How can we integrate our faith within a media culture? By becoming mystics! Through theological reflection and critical engagement we can discover the needs of humanity present in the art of pop culture. To become inculturated evangelizers today, we are called to take a sacred look on what is expressed in the culture about humanity’s longing for that something more, for the supernatural, for God! Only then can we propose the true joy of the Gospel. Meet Sr. Nancy ->

In Pope Benedict VIX’s encyclical letter, Spe Salvi, he says that the one who has hope lives differently. During this talk I will go through some points found in Spe Salvi and how the virtue of hope transforms the way live. Meet Mikki ->

Our society reflects the values of a highly secular and god-less culture. If we, Catholics, want to see change in our society we need bold action takers at the highest levels. In the corner office, in the boardroom, in media, and tech. Meet Elena ->

It is our desire to inspire in others the knowledge that a deep, meaningful friendship is possible. By learning what to avoid, we can find what to encourage in our interactions with others. Learning to hold each other accountable and lead each other closer to Christ is the kind of friendship we are called to emulate as Catholics. Meet Catherine ->

Union with Christ is the center of our faith, the purpose of life, the answer to the quest for happiness. But it can sound boring, churchy, even sterile. I share my story of the veil being lifted and being knocked on my feet with the glory of the Spousal Analogy. Meet Rose ->

Kendra bought into what this world said would make her happy – money, prestige, power, pleasure and bought into the culture of ‘me’ … Then God found her and flipped her reality upside down and changed everything in her life. Meet Kendra ->

What excites me about the Catholic faith? The treasury of traditions and devotions! My faith was set ablaze when I realized God had provided us a very simple formula for growing in faith. I call it the Grace Trifecta – Prayer, Sacraments, and Scripture. Meet Allison ->

Alex was raised Catholic, but only because his mother “dragged” him to Sunday mas. Later, he fell completely away from the Church. Mid-career, he regularly turned to a secular meditation app. It was through contemplative prayer that Alex found his way back to God. Since 2018, he and the Hallow team, have dedicated themselves to making Catholic meditation available and accessible across the world. Meet Alex ->

Hallow is a Partner with this conference.

JP2 had every reason to be cynical about God and the world, but he was an eternal optimist because he understood salvation history and had a deep, personal relationship with the Lord enabling him to see God’s hand in everything — including tragedy. We’re called to the same — and to be excited about being Catholic in today’s world. Meet Patrick ->
