What Ever Happened to the Modern World?
The modern era, which was supposed to be all about progress and reason, has gotten itself into serious trouble. In many ways the modern world has become unfit for real people, and as it progresses, it becomes even less so. We cannot make a society fit for humans until we admit that the modern world, though it has gained many things, has also been a time of losses for humanity. The most serious of these losses is the loss of Christ. And knowing how that happened can help us recover a modern world fit for people.

Woman: The Pinnacle of God’s Creation 
This is the feminine counterpart to talk #30 above. From the perspective of the order of creation and redemption, focused on the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony, Tim presents the respective vocations of the man and the woman in God’s plan of salvation with a special focus on the unique and irreplaceable role the woman plays rooted in her God-gifted ability to “receive.” In the image of the Blessed Virgin Mary’s fiat that changed the universe as only a woman can, Tim will explain how “the woman” is the keeper of civilization as well as “the sacred” without which neither can survive.
God is Looking for a Few Good Men
Straight talk to men about being the men that God has called them to be. Tim teaches on the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony from the perspective of the Husband and his special call to headship/service. Focusing on the Sacrament, Tim challenges men to sacrifice for their wives (and children if they are so blessed with them) in the image of Christ’s sacrifice for his Bride, the Church in order to be the “first principle of life” in the family in the image of God, the Father in the life of the Trinity. The family, the Church and the culture is only as strong as its men. Tim challenges men to be the kind of men who will bring about by their prayers and sacrifices the kinds of families that will serve to strengthen both the Church and the Culture through faithful service.
Why Be Catholic?
In this presentation, Tim will take you from no faith at all to the four marks of the Church. Whether you are a skeptic yourself or if you want to learn how to share your faith with someone who does not believe, this talk is for you. Tim will show you how you can demonstrate the existence of God using good philosophy and good science, as well as how you can prove “beyond a reasonable doubt” the natural immortality of the human soul, Natural Law, the necessity of divine revelation, and the Catholic Christian Faith as the fullness of that divine revelation. This talk will empower you to be able to present the only antidote to what Pope Benedict XVI called “the dictatorship of relativism”—absolute truth.

Mary, the Mother of the Eucharist
“Mother of the Eucharist” is a title of our Lady that has been growing in popularity in the last 50 years in the Church. Tim explains how this title of Mary connects Mary as Mother of God and Mary as Mediatrix and brings them both into perspective for Catholics in their daily lives.

Tim challenges men to be the kind of men who will bring about by their prayers and sacrifices the kinds of families that will serve to strengthen both the Church and the Culture through faithful service.
Raising the Standard
In this talk geared for men, Tim begins with a brief recounting of Colonel (and later Lieutenant General) Lewis “Chesty” Puller and the heroic exploits of the Marines under his command at the Chosin Reservoir during the Korean War. As a former Marine, Tim does a little bragging here concerning the great history of the Marines, but then gives some of the lesser known underlying reasons for this greatness rooted in the Marine Corps motto of “always faithful to God, Country and Corps.” From there, Tim draws a parallel to the history of our Catholic Church revealing a level of heroics that makes Marine Corps history pale in comparison. Both the Marine Corps and the Catholic Church similarly bring out the greatness in men because each “raises a standard” that challenges them beyond anything they would even consider on their own. When good men are challenged to fight for a cause that transcends themselves and in union with other men with the same vision and purpose, there is no obstacle that can stand in their way!

Salvation: The Beginning and End of the Christian Life 
In this talk, Karlo explains the biblical understanding of salvation and justification as an interior transformation that puts one into covenantal relationship with God. He will also explain how good works fit in relation to salvation and give biblical evidence for their necessity. By using passages from Sacred Scripture, Karlo debunks the common Protestant notion that once we’re “saved” we can’t lose our inheritance of heaven.
What Most Miss in Abortion Debates
Abortion debates have been going on for years now. And most who pay attention are familiar with the most common pro-life arguments. However, there are lines of defense that most are unaware of and should be employing to establish a more robust defense of the pro-life position. In this talk, Karlo identifies such lines of defense, arguing for why it’s always immoral to directly kill an innocent human being (something most take for granted) and how we know a human being from the moment of conception is a human person deserving protection of the right to life by the law.

The Heart of Worship: Rediscovering the Importance of the Eucharist 
Does God really care about how we worship Him, or is it a matter of our personal preference? And why doesn’t the Catholic Mass look like the worship services you might find in a Protestant megachurch? In this talk, Joe unpacks the biblical difference between preaching, prayer, and worship, and our need (individually and collectively) to offer sacrificial worship to God.

Catholics and the Culture War
In this talk, Tim Staples challenges us Catholics to understand our responsibility to effect change in the culture in which we live. Tim will both paint a vivid picture of the perilous times in which we live and demonstrate just how we Catholics can engage the culture and change it without the culture changing us. The need of the hour is for Catholics to engage the culture in dialogue on every level—from Scripture to the arts, to politics, law, medicine, and more. The New Evangelization that our Holy Father has called us to involves much more than just engaging our separated brothers and members of quasi-Christian sects in biblical apologetics, though that is certainly important. Tim will show you what it means to truly confront the “culture war” in which we find ourselves engaged.

The Cycle of the Christian Life
Meeting Jesus is the beginning of new life. From this encounter, we are free to choose whether we follow Him or return to our former lives. If we follow, we become converted, bit by bit, to be like Him. This allows us to enter into shared lives of love with Him, a state we call communion. Those who enter communion with Christ have everything (the summit of the spiritual life), but they cannot keep it to themselves or it will die. From communion we must go on mission to help others to meet Christ. In this passing on of the Faith, the cycle begins anew both for the one sharing and the one hearing. This is the fundamental cycle of the Christian life, and the way of eternal life handed down by the Apostles: Encounter, Conversion, Communion, and Mission.
