02 · The work

Nick was the co-host of the internationally acclaimed podcast “The Catholic SIP,” and hosted a 3 minute daily scripture reflection called “Awaken the Word” heard on Catholic radio stations around the country and online. He has served as musician and speaker for retreats, conferences, and events with Dynamic Catholic, Renewal Ministries, Extraordinary Mission, Life Teen, and the Hallow app.

03 · The life

Nick is the author of The Eucharist: The Ultimate Love Story Unveiled. He hosts “Morning Joy,” broadcasting nationally every weekday on the Guadalupe Radio Network and internationally online.

Nick has a gift for making the faith come alive, he speaks from the heart, shares his own journey, and at the same time gives us solid teaching that helps us grow in love for our faith. His personable and down-to-earth style made everyone feel connected and inspired. We are truly grateful for the way he helped us draw closer to Jesus through Mary.”

Father Adolph Kowalczyk

Pastor · New York “I would like to thank Nick for his time with us here at Mary of Bethlehem Parish Family. His presentation was very well prepared and very well received. It spoke to many of the issues we are currently addressing and his inviting, personal and spiritual approach was welcome. I appreciated his integration of theological and prayerful insights, plus his gift of music. He was able to connect with people in a very real way. His life’s journey has given him a very unique perspective of Catholicism with a deep appreciation of our Catholic history, theology and love of the Eucharist.”

Father Derik Peterman

They were engaging, uplifting, and energetic, while at the same time calling people to deepen their Catholic faith. Many of our parishioners related to Nick’s testimony. We received A LOT of great feedback. People of all backgrounds can benefit from the message and music this couple has to share.”

For the past several years I have also gotten to know Alina who shares Nick’s faith and abilities. Nick and Alina compliment one another beautifully. I highly recommend them as presenters and leaders of praise and worship. Any parish would be blessed by their presence.”
