I finally got some of the video edited from my talk at the 2010 FOCUS National Conference in Orlando, FL on New Year’s Eve 2009. The talk was titled “Fighting for Manliness” for the Men’s Impact Sessions. The crowd for the two sessions totaled around 1,500 college men.
The video below is only part 1 of the 50 minute video.
In this talk, I highlighted some major points, including: What is Manliness?, Manly Leadership, Living Virtue, Fighting the Giant of Pornography and more.

Fallible Blogma’s “Support a Catholic Speaker” Month
I agreed to write up a brief post on a Catholic speaker for Fallible Blogma’s “Support a Catholic Speaker” Month. Click HERE to see the entire list. I chose to blog about Mr. Richard Lane. Here’s his bio:
“Born in Detroit, Michigan to Mary O. Alexander, retired Educator for the Highland Park School system and the Late Dick “Night Train” Lane; National Football League Hall of Fame Cornerback, Mr. Lane, Jr. attended Morehouse College in Atlanta Georgia and also served honorably for nearly six years in the United States Army Military Police Corps in numerous domestic and international locations.
As a convert to the Faith in April 19, 2003, it was in early 2005 when Mr. Lane was lead to begin proclaiming the Gospel as a Street Corner Evangelist, sharing the Word of God, passing out Bibles, Crosses and other Religious items. Since that time Mr. Lane has been featured on “Catholic Answers Live”, Ave Maria Radio, Relevant Radio, Our Sunday Visitor, the National Catholic Reporter, Sports Review Magazine, as well as Eternal Word Television Network’s (EWTN) the “Journey Home” with Marcus Grodi and is the Co-Founder of Catholic Men for Christ Men’s Conference in St. Louis, Missouri which continues to draw thousands of men each year to hear the Powerful Message of the Gospel.”
Mr. Lane and I are represented by the same booking agency, CMG Booking. CMG Booking is the premier source for Catholic speakers. To book Mr. Lane for your next event, click HERE. If you would like to book me to speak at your next event, please click HERE.

Speaking
Book Dave to speak at your event, parish, retreat, school, conference or group!
As a leader in Catholic men’s ministry, Dave has tirelessly devoted his life to building up men for God. Dave aggressively battles the modern idea that “cultural manliness” (power, money, sex and stuff) is what defines a man and encourages men to live virtuous lives for Christ. Dave has spoken to men ranging in age from 8 to 88… his presentations are both relevant and challenging for all listeners. There’s no better or more dynamic speaker for men’s groups today.
Dave also aggressively battles the difficult topic of pornography addiction. As a recovering porn addict of 18 years, Dave knows all-too-well the unyielding grip that mortal sin can have on a man. In a real-life, practical way, Dave equips men with the tools, resources and how-to plan to seek and obtain freedom from this addictive beast. With the help of the Holy Spirit and grace from the Sacraments, other men can experience the freedom that Dave now has. Whether your group is a men’s breakfast group, a conference or retreat, a Knights of Columbus council, a Boy Scout troop or something in between, Dave’s presentations will blow you away.
Ladies – Don’t be fooled by the high levels of testosterone… Dave also speaks to co-ed crowds!
