Dynamic Catholic Speakers for Youth and Young Adults

In today's world, young people are surrounded by flashy media messages and forced to grow up faster than ever before. Despite these messages, they seek the Truth and the unconditional love of Christ. They long for someone to speak authentically about love and sexuality, to challenge them to go against the current – to become the Soldiers of Christ they are called to be at their Confirmation.

Pope John Paul II called us to be a witness to young people: "What is needed today is a Church which knows how to respond to the expectations of young people. Jesus wants to enter into dialogue with them and, through his body, which is the Church, to propose the possibility of a choice, which will require a commitment of their lives." Pope John Paul II, World Youth Day

Youth and Young Adult Ministry Leaders: For your next event, consider hosting a Catholic speaker who can inspire young people with God's plan for their lives and ignite the love of Christ in their hearts!

Brenda Sharman

Brenda Sharman was crowned Miss Georgia USA in 1990 after winning the first pageant she ever entered and is now the National Director for Pure Fashion, the country's fastest growing character formation program for teen girls! As a convert to the Catholic Faith, Brenda realized that "our culture had grown increasingly more immodest, and indecent, and I had to decide if I was going to be part of the problem or part of the solution".

Pure Fashion is a fun and effective program which helps young women realize their inherent dignity and cultivates in them a desire to live, act and dress in accordance with that dignity. Brenda also leads workshops for teen girls on purity, modesty and good character development. She uses Scripture, Catechism quotes, Power points, DVD's and visual aids to make her points and girls are entertained while being inspired and motivated!
