“Nothing short of outstanding. All I can say is we have been changed.”​

A FEW OF JON'S MOST POPULAR KEYNOTES
LIFE, LIBERTY, AND THE PURSUIT OF HOLINESS
Genesis reveals that God created human beings in His own image—something true of nothing else in creation. That single truth changes everything. It means our worth surpasses anything in this world, and no possession, achievement, or pursuit can truly fulfill us. As good as these things may be, they are lesser than us, and what is lesser can never satisfy what is greater. Therefore, when we try to quench our deep longing for meaning and purpose with what was never meant to fulfill us, we will always come up empty. That’s because our hearts aren’t searching for something—they’re searching for Someone. We’re searching for God.
SACRAMENT MOST HOLY, SACRAMENT DIVINE
If someone asked you why you’re Catholic, how would you answer?
I’m Catholic because I believe the Catholic Church offers the surest path to Heaven—to life with God forever. Why? Because in the Church, we have the Eucharist—Jesus Christ’s body, blood, soul, and divinity—truly, really, and substantially present for you and for me. The same Jesus who walked the earth, healed the sick, and conquered death gives Himself to us completely, here and now. God Himself is present, drawing us to Him—and nothing in this world could ever matter more.
WE CAN KNOW GOD
Many today are bored with God and Catholicism. But that's not God or the Church's fault. They're bored because they've forgotten who God is and why that matters to their lives. After all, when we forget who God is, we forget who we are, too. But we can know God! We can know God because he's revealed himself to us. This talk helps us rediscover who God is. When we do that, our mission becomes clear, and profound change happens in our lives.

SAINTS ALIVE
Do you want to be a saint? Of course you do. After all, anyone in Heaven is a saint. So, it follows – if you want to go to Heaven, you want to be a saint!​ But our spiritual lives will not come together on their own. The canonized saints had a plan, and, by God's grace, they stuck with it. It's time we implement the three-fold plan every canonized saint lived and had in common; a plan to make us saints, as well.
MISSION OF THE FAMILY
How will you change the world? What's the key to molding our culture into a culture for God? Where do we, as followers of Jesus Christ, begin?
​
It starts where God Himself began—with the family. The family is the foundation of society, the first school of love, and the primary place where faith is passed on. If we want to transform the world, we must first transform our homes. It’s time we discover and live God’s plan of discipleship and love in the family, making our marriages, parenting, and daily lives a witness to His truth. Because when families are rooted in Christ, the world cannot help but be changed.
