"Jay speaks to eternal issues with practical wisdom based on God's word. He's full of energy and communicates in a way that connects well with men. His wisdom on being a better dad and husband is something every man would benefit from. Men's lives were changed and challenged at our men's retreat."

“Whenever a ministry is going to bring in a guest speaker, the question is always twofold: "Can this person hold people's attention, and is his content going to truly effect people's lives?" The answer is a resounding YES on both counts when it comes to Jay.”

Carey Casey

“I have known Jay and his family for over 20 years. The principles and concepts he talks about in his presentations and books are not just good ideas…they are things he has done in his own life. Jay is the real deal, with no pretension, he simply walks his talk. I wish that could be said of all of us.”

Dan Balow, Agent

The Steve Laube Agency

“When Jay came to speak at one of our monthly Home Builders meetings, I thought it was going to be the typical here’s how you do it, let’s get excited speech. Boy was I wrong! Jay got us talking and thinking about how “we” could work, how “we” could think. The “speech” was more like a workshop. He thinks differently than most people, and equips you to do the same.”

Tim Coleman, President

Coleman Home Solutions

“I have known Jay for 10 years. I see in him a man that loves God, loves his wife, and loves his family. He is a great communicator on parenting, but an even better father. Integrity, honesty, passion, faith, dedication and contagious enthusiasm are all words that come to mind when I think of Jay!”

Eric Rojas, Executive Pastor

Christ Community Church

“Primarily, Jay is a very intentional father, seeking the best for his children and trying to be his best for them. Secondly, Jay is one of the most creative people I know. He combines these two bold qualities, and the result is: you have a presenter worth listening to.”

Frank Mercadante, Executive Director

“An engaging speaker whose wit and intelligence were put to good use explaining the mysterious workings of the male brain...offering encouragement to love and cherish our husbands while pursuing our dreams and becoming the wives, mothers, and women we were created to be.”

Laura Wright, MOPS Mentor Mom

Crystal Lake, IL

"At our church's marriage retreat, we received so much wisdom from Jay's interactive teaching session.  Listening to Jay is like reading the book of Proverbs, spiritual principles and nuggets of wisdom told in a practical -  everyday - useful way.  It blessed our marriage, and every other couple in attendance."

"We enjoyed having Jay lead our group. He presented topics that were relevant to the members our group and they left with actionable items. He challenged us in our norms and asked us to be better fathers/husbands/men. Jay also jumped right into the group for our "non-program" time. He became one of the guys from the very start of the event. His flexibility and easy going nature made it easy for everyone to trust his talks. We would love to see him again!"
