Testimonials
Testimonials
"Braden was such a blessing to the success of our retreat! He led a powerful talk on Jesus Christ, sharing his personal testimony with Jesus and His love for each of us. He was very present to each of our students on the retreat, really immersing himself with each person on the retreat. He immersed by sharing meals with us, lending a helping hand anywhere and everywhere he saw a need... He is so personable, understanding, easy to work with, attentive, and inclusive (the list could go on). He truly exemplifies what it means to be a Christian—a Christ bearer—to all he encounters."

Love, Relationships, & Chastity
High School Presentation
We all want love that’s real. But in a world filled with hookups, shallow relationships, and heartbreak, it’s hard to know what love is supposed to look like. This session offers an honest look at relationships, dating, and what it means to love without losing yourself in the process.
Braden unpacks the truth behind chastity. It’s not
something that holds us back from love, it’s what
makes real love possible. Instead of shame, confusion,
or silence around the topic, this talk brings clarity,
freedom, and hope. Through personal stories and
practical insights, Braden tackles real questions like
“how far is too far,” “why wait until marriage,” and
“how do I overcome lustful habits or pornography
struggles?”
This session meets students right where they are and invites them to something greater. You don’t have to settle for cheap love or empty promises. You were made for real love, and it’s worth waiting for.

Understanding The Hearts Of Young People
Parent Presentation
Teens today are growing up in a world filled with noise, pressure, and constant comparison. Social media, hookup culture, and shifting values are forming their hearts more than most adults realize. But behind it all is a generation that’s still longing for real love, lasting truth, and something worth living for.
This session is designed for parents, teachers, and ministry leaders who want to understand what young people are really facing—and how to help them rise above it. Braden Johnson draws from his experience speaking to thousands of students across North America to offer insight into the teenage heart, and how to guide them with truth, compassion, and confidence. Topics include social media, chastity, relationships, identity, and how to lead young people toward virtue without losing connection.
Hope is real. Hearts can be reached. And you don’t have to do it alone.
