I’m not afraid to tell my story that led me to where I am today. I know that other men have similar stories to share. During my talks, we get closer to Jesus Christ by forming a bond as Catholic men looking to live our best lives.
ENLIGHTENING Testimonies
John Edwards ‘Just a Guy in the Pew’ Ministry is all about our baptismal vocation, a holiness and service, of justice and mercy and mission. And so, I say to John and to all, with St. Ignatius of Loyola: ‘go forth and set the world on fire.’ The mission is in front of us. ¡Siempre Adelante!”
BISHOP DAVID P. TALLEY, CATHOLIC DIOCESE OF MEMPHIS
Wow…Powerful…Transformative. These are but a few words I can use to describe the amazing testimony and witness of John Edwards. John is living proof to the power of God when we surrender our life to His will.”
JOHN SABLAN CATHOLIC SPEAKER, EVANGELIST, AND FOUNDER OF WORLD ABLAZE.
John Edwards is quickly becoming one of the top Catholic speakers in the country. His passion and zeal for the faith are truly inspiring! Firmly rooted in the teachings of the Church, John will both challenge and motivate those who hear him to strive for deeper intimacy with the Lord.”
DEACON HAROLD BURKE SIVERS, CATHOLIC SPEAKER AND EVANGELIST
John is a gift to the Church and any audience who hears his conversion story will quickly experience the kind of vulnerability, sincerity, and surrender to mercy that we all need to hear as a Church right now.”
BILL DONAGHY, SENIOR LECTURER, THEOLOGY OF THE BODY INSTITUTE, CO-AUTHOR OF THE RISE 30 DAY CHALLENGE FOR MEN
This is the age in need of joy-filled, witnessing, story-telling, battle-scarred, “hallelujah!” lay evangelists, and John stands among the best of our day. No man who hears him will see his own story the same way.”
DAMON OWENS CATHOLIC SPEAKER AND FOUNDER OF JOYTOB.
The most powerful conversion story I have ever heard.”
JON LEONETTI, CATHOLIC SPEAKER AND EVANGELIST
John’s powerful personal witness coupled with his authentic and refreshing directness makes him unlike any other presenter I’ve seen. If you’re looking to inspire and invigorate your audience, John is your guy. He’s authentic, practical, and knows how to speak right to the heart.”
CHRIS COPE, FOUNDER, CARDINAL STUDIOS
John Edwards really is “just a guy in the pew.” He lives it. And he shows how we can live it, too. That’s why his ministry is so vital, so timely and so important. It’s down to earth, applicable and goes right to the gut! In a word...it’s REAL."
