Testimonies
Brian was our speaker at a week-long leadership camp for Catholic youth and he did an amazing job. Brian is a gifted speaker and it was obvious how thoughtfully and prayerfully he had prepared for each and every moment of the week he spent with us. He has a talent for engaging with youth, telling impactful stories, and guiding people into a more meaningful reflection on the work God is doing in and around us. But more than anything, what struck me was how deeply authentic is his love for Jesus and his Church. When Brian speaks, you truly feel that you are receiving the fruits of his own life of prayer and relationship with our Lord.

Energetic, engaging, passionate... These are the words that best envelope Brian's delivery of his message of living a Catholic life within today's secular mindset. He paints a clear image of what it looks like to live a Catholic life amidst the worldliness that each of us encounters today. The words "cultural Catholic" conjure up the image of lukewarmness in the faith, but Brian present a different definition of these words to inspire us as Catholics to offer exactly what the world needs – a culture of Catholic life beginning in the home and emanating into the world through how we live our Catholic faith every day. Our Legatus members commented that Brian was one of the most inspirational speakers we have ever had. And young Catholics would be equally inspired to take his message and reorient their lives to one of great Catholic witness!

For the past 4 years Brian has been leading groups of college students and missionaries with our non-profit BLUE Missions that brings clean water and sanitation to poor communities in the mountainous region of the Dominican Republic. I have been personally blessed to share these experiences with Brian and cannot say enough about his conviction to serve others, lead by example and do all of this in the most humble way possible. On a very personal note, I always look forward to sharing these annual trips with him because he shows me very clearly how to be Christ-Like.

The Kentucky Association of Health Underwriters hosts an annual summit supporting agents in the Medicare business. With much change occurring in our industry, we searched for a keynote speaker to relay a story of life changes and how it can positively affect your life and career journey.
Fortunately, we were able to secure Brian Gall as our keynote speaker. Brian relayed his story in an engaging manner while challenging our participants to embrace the changes in their lives. He was thoughtful in his preparation to ensure his message meshed with our intended message. His message was delivered with a great mix of history, humor and humility.
As chair of the annual event, I would highly recommend Brian for any speaking engagements.

Our parish was so blessed to have Brian share his insights and wisdom with our parish leadership team! He helped my core team understand the importance of relational ministry through mentorship and discipleship while also the necessity of forming their own prayer life. His training was foundational in building our ministry and helping us to recognize the call to share the Gospel and make disciples!

Brian spoke with the junior class of Covington Catholic at their day of reflection in early March. He did a wonderful job on having the students reflect on using their time now and in college to prepare themselves for their time after college for their call, their state in life, either to the married life, priestly life, the generous single life, or religious life. How important it is for the students to reflect spiritually now on their vocation and Brian proposes this reflection for them in a beautiful light of God’s plan for their lives.

Brian was a guest speaker for our high school seniors and discussed their transition to college. Brian shared experiences of “his plan” during his college years and then how “God’s plan” sent him on a different path. He related well to the students, and you could sense the connection as the students laughed and were engaged as they listened. I would highly recommend Brian to speak to your students! He was open, honest, and humble as he shared his story! This was a shared version of his story that was very relevant with all the seniors transitioning away from home and moving forward with their faith during the next chapter in their lives.
