What People Have said About Steve’s Talks

“Words like dynamic, compelling, inspiring and insightful all come to mind when I think of describing Steve’s presentations. I say presentations, because they are more than just “talks”; he puts his whole heart into them. They not only provide intellectual information, they call you to a deeper and more profound understanding of Christ and His Church.”

Tom Monaghan
Founder of Domino’s Pizza
Chairman of Ave Maria University

Having worked with Steve Ray all around the U.S., the Philippines, India, and more, I have found his presentations to be exemplary. Steve combines an extensive knowledge of the various subject matter about which he speaks with an enthusiastic presentation that is infectious. I have watched him over and over again bring his audiences to their feet with excitement and applause while simultaneously challenging them to their knees to pray, and to study and dive deeper into their Catholic Faith. Nobody does this better than Steve Ray.

Dear Steve,

It was a pleasure to meet you and to hear you speak at our “Be A Man Conference” for the Diocese of Scranton.  Your fast-paced and fascinating presentation kept the men on the edge of their seats.  I am amazed that you could fly back 13 hours from Israel and be fresh the next morning.  In particular your apologetics were very good.  I think that the way Holy Mother Church has been beaten down in popular culture it is good for Catholic Men to hear that Catholics have always had the right stuff.

You are living proof that God is a great recruiter.  We needed men with an evangelical knowledge of the Bible and a passion for it and He went out and signed you up!  I will prize the signed copy of your testimonial story and look forward to a future pilgrimage with you.

Michael C. Kilmer, Conference Co-Chairman

 

Steve Ray is one of the greatest Catholic speakers and apologists in the country. Not only does Steve command a great knowledge of the Catholic faith, Scripture, and history, but he is passionate and enthusiastic, inspiring people to love and live out their Catholic faith. He also makes learning the Catholic faith interesting and exciting. One could say that he brings it to life. Steve Ray is a must have speaker.
~Brian Mercer, Int’l Speaker & Retreat Leader

I’ve read “Crossing the Tiber” and heard your conversion talk many times and I thought that these were all “home runs”.  Well, I picked up a copy of your latest cd on your conversion talk at the men’s “Rekindle the Fire” men’s conference in South Bend last month and I just want to tell you that you knocked this one “OUT OF THE PARK!”  Fantastic!  I will be getting several copies of this to pass out to family and friends!  Thank you so much for your witness to Christ, Steve.  You keep honing your witness talk and it is definitely bearing fruit.  You haven’t lost any of your enthusiasm and your message is just resonating with me!  Thank you, Steve, and keep up the good work!  I’m pretty sure that you will be invited back… ~Ron B

Steve,
Thanks for coming, you make a difference. The men were spirit filled. I wish time had permitted you to be there for the closing Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. What a powerful experience. My brother Deacon Jose Manuel, had the men come to the altar ,kneeling on the steps. He brought the Monstrance to each man personally. The degree of reverence was profound. From what you did, the Holy Spirit was able to enter their lives like never before. The experience will leave them hungry for more. Their parishes will sustain them until once again they will have an opportunity to summit the mount of transfiguration and be renewed once more. You have a gift my friend. You can touch the hearts of men where they are and invite them to become transformed into disciples and leaders for Christ.

Of course, I’ll write you a letter of recommendation! I will also share our experience with our brothers in the Diocese of the Palm Beaches and with the Diocese of Orlando, who have men’s conferences as well. May God continue to bless you and your family. May He continue to bless your ministry abundantly.  — Deacon Vincent Eberling, Miami Florida Men’s Conference

Dear Steve,

I just want to thank you for coming to Traverse City to speak to the Martinus of Northern Michigan group once again this year.

Your talk, “Swimming Upstream”, provides motivation for each of us to be “bold and show our Christianity.” Your presentation reflecting on the frequent martyrdom prevalent in early Christianity, and its importance as serving as the seed of the early Church, reminds us that we too are called to be authentic Catholic witnesses living counter cultural to the morals of the post-Christian pagan society we live in today.

You are an inspiring speaker. Thank you for saying “Yes” to God’s call by devoting your life to help others discover the fullness of Christianity found only in the Catholic Church and to help Catholics become better leaders in their families, careers and in society.

God Bless,
Wayne Sterenberg
President
