Through God's love and mercy, we are able to recognize the unique gifts and charisms that He has given us. It is only when we pursue God's plans for us using our charisms, that we are able to be exactly who God created us to be. Only then can we set the world on fire and be like Jesus who is the Light of the World.

Breakout Speakers

Scott Williams

@sockreligious

Ministry professional turned entrepreneur. After working nearly a decade in full-time youth ministry, Scott turned a side-hustle into a rapidly growing small business in a niche Catholic corner of the internet.

If you asked Scott 10 years ago if he would be selling socks and other merchandise, he would have said you're crazy. He says "yes" to the next step of the journey each day.
