How to Develop a Personal Relationship with Christ

Who is Jesus to YOU?
Almost everyone knows about Jesus, but few actually know Jesus. Through stories & scripture, we reflect on the person of Christ and answer the greatest question Jesus ever asked: “Who do you say that I am?” (Mt 16:15)
Not sure where to start in helping young people develop a personal relationship with Christ? This talk is for you. Change lives by introducing youth to The One who transforms hearts and “makes all things new.” (Rev 21:5)

You did it! You said YES to Jesus. NOW WHAT?
For many of us, accepting Jesus is the easy part. It’s following Him that’s difficult. Unpack what it really means to follow Jesus, “pick up your cross,” & have a personal relationship with Christ.
Learn how to put Jesus first everyday & prioritize God above all things. Get a clear plan of action to follow Jesus & grow in relationship with Him daily. Giving our whole lives to Christ — being ALL IN — isn’t always easy. But it is always worth it.

Motivational talks on self-improvement are popular. However, they often miss the mark. Here’s the thing: Jesus never asks us to be “the best version of ourselves.” Jesus tells us to be like Him. Over and over again, the Bible shows that Christ’s followers imitate Him.
”It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.” (Gal 2:20)
”We are God’s children now, we shall be like him.” (1 Jn 3:2)
”Be imitators of God, as beloved children.” (Ep 5:1)But how can we be like Jesus? He is… GOD! The answer: Prayer + Sacraments. Discover how prayer & Catholicism are key to discovering who we really are. Empower youth to live radical yet attractive lives & be Jesus in the modern world.
The Theology of the Body
How Your Body, Relationships, & Sex All Point to Heaven
-
Today, more than ever before, people are confused about the meaning of their bodies. Knowing this would happen, God gave us the gift of St. John Paul II and his writings on The Theology of the Body.
Get back to the basics and discover how your body and your desires point to Heaven itself! St. John Paul II writes, “The body, in fact, and only the body, is capable of making visible what is invisible: the spiritual and the divine.”
Every person is a gift. We must reclaim the truth about our bodies and rejoice knowing that Jesus has redeemed us completely — both in our souls and in our bodies!

Navigating relationships in the 21st century can be confusing. The good news is, virtue is simple.
When it comes to teaching young people about the gift of attraction & the purpose of sex — we can’t afford to get it wrong. Young Catholics need to understand what the Church really teaches.
Learn what virtue is ABSOLUTELY NEEDED for all relationships to thrive, and give young people clear steps on how to navigate attraction, sexual desire, and virtuous dating in the 21st century.

Discover what these 3 core desires are, how to fulfill it, & get a plan of action to tap into the greatness inside of you!

I’d love to speak at your event too!
“I had the opportunity to witness Gian speak to hundreds of high school and young adult students. Whether it was bringing joy through his sense of humor or a sincere call to action, Gian's presentation always made a difference. Young people looked up to Gian as a genuine example to follow. I’d highly recommend Gian as a speaker & worship leader!”
— Tom (Steubenville, OH) Staff at Franciscan Univ.
“Gian brought his youthful energy, dynamic personality, and his desire for all to have a lived relationship with Jesus to every person he encountered. We were blessed with his gift of music and speaking to the youth. I learned so much from Gian and am honored to have worked with him.”
