Brandon was absolutely amazing. He traveled across the country to lead our Confirmation 2 retreat, and the kids loved him. His retreat was not only beautifully organized but also incredibly impactful.

What stood out the most was his ability to truly connect with the teens. Many catechists struggle to meet young people where they are, often speaking in ways that feel too advanced or disconnected. Brandon, however, knew exactly how to engage them, making the faith relatable and accessible.

I also deeply appreciated his vulnerability in sharing his past. Too often, people in the Church present a perfect image, hiding their struggles and unintentionally creating a false illusion of perfection. Brandon’s testimony was raw, honest, and powerful—showing the kids that we are all human and that faith is a journey, not a destination.
