SPEAKING

"From the fullness of the heart the mouth speaks."

Luke 6:45

As someone who has (and continues to) plan events to reach people of all ages, audiences and demographics, finding the right speaker is in no way an easy task. That goes with out saying especially when it comes to a faith filled event for an organization, parish or diocese. So it comes with personal experience and a great desire to be a resource to those who work hard to find solid, dynamic, high caliber and quality speakers to meet the needs of their events.

The importance of the right speaker can often times be trivialized, overlooked or underestimated and in that becomes the single most reason why events can be perceived as lack luster or uneventful (pun intended).

It is my goal, therefore, to provide you with the necessary information you need to make the right decision given your event, and if there's a fit, to humbly serve you and your parish or organization in making this the best faith filled experience possible. Of the many talented, gifted and dynamic Catholic speakers you have at your disposal, I am humbled, honored and privileged to be considered among them and by you.

A Committed & Professional Catholic Evangelist

j-sablan-w-rosary If I am selected as a speaker, I guarantee an unwavering commitment to delivering on the expectations and goals you have for your event. In each event I am asked to serve, I strive to faithfully and dynamically articulate and communicate the Gospel message and the many wonderful treasures and gifts we have in our Catholic faith. I work diligently and collaboratively with each event planner(s) to cater and tailor each talk to your liking in hopes to make every engagement one that is efficacious in your community and ultimately in the Lord's Vineyard. I give every event my 150% effort and preach it like it's my last. Bottom line - I'm all about helping people encounter Jesus Christ.

What I Offer You

As a speaker hired for your event, I can promise to deliver you three very important things to consider:

A dynamic, passionate, engaging and inspirational delivery of the topics of your choice. They don't call me "Man on Fire" for no reason! My gift and passion is to take the great riches of the Catholic faith and deliver them in a way that is relatable, understandable and easily received by all so as to make the event a dialogue rather than a monologue. As an instrument for God, I promise to move and engage your audience in a way that inspires them to embrace our call to holiness.
An orthodox presentation of the faith. Make no mistake, I am a Catholic who is faithful to the Magisterium and teachings of our One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. I believe and profess all that the holy Catholic teaches, believes and proclaims to be revealed by God and this will shine through in every talk or presentation I deliver. This is not about my message but God's Message through me.
A valued added engagement. In each of my events, I encourage and welcome opportunities to serve in your parish or community whether that is providing additional talks to the youth, elderly, or special focused groups that would be of benefit. I'm not here to nickel and dime you but rather ensure this engagement is fruitful, impactful and longstanding within your community.

John is a highly energetic person who loves God and his faith. His life as a working professional in the business world combined with living out his faith through his family, parish and ministries gave us a great potential speaker to invite to the Catholic Professional & Business Club. His talk engaged members and gave examples of how we, too, can be authentic with our faith in the workplace.”

John Sablan has a gift of being able to communicate the Truth to teens that is truly extraordinary. His ability to connect on a personal level, meet them where they are in their faith journey, and evangelize is special. It only took one retreat before teens were requesting that he attend the next retreat, and then the next. Not only have teens walked away from his talks on fire for God but I myself have been moved to serve God and love God in new ways.”

-Siobhan Roddy
Campus Minister & Theology Teacher

John’s truly a gifted speaker. Whenever I hear him speak, I don’t just hear someone talking about God and the Catholic Church, I see someone who practices what he preaches, and who is living it out! His example as a man of God, a husband, and a father is all evident in his ministry as an evangelist.”
