Catholic Revival Ministries exists to raise up giants within the Catholic Church – mighty sons and daughters of God, fully actualized in their identity and operating unencumbered in Holy Spirit power.

 

 Our heart is to see heaven on earth. We are fixed upon the advancement of God’s Kingdom via His manifest presence and the supernatural activity of His people. We believe God is moving powerfully in this hour, renewal is underway across the earth, and each of us has a crucial part to play.

OUR VISION

Our vision at Catholic Revival Ministries is to see God’s Kingdom advance across the earth, according to the target that Jesus set for us: “on earth as it is in heaven.”

We believe every person carries something vital for the advancement of the Kingdom, and we want to see every Catholic fully actualized in their identity and calling, so that the uniqueness of what they carry can be released into the world.

 

OUR MISSION

To that end, CRM exists to provide support, encouragement, and training/formation to the Catholic faithful who are hungry for “more.”

  • Those who want to experience more of the Lord, but have outgrown their spiritual environment.

  • Those who dream big or feel called to something great.

  • Those who long to see more of heaven’s realities on earth, but feel poorly equipped to bring it forth.

  • Those who want to bring supernatural impact to the world, whether it’s in everyday-life or from a position of influence.

We want to pour into these people so that they can grow into the saints they’re designed to become: world changers walking in freedom and the fullness of their Catholic identity, and operating in the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit.

 

OUR SERVICES

To do this, we offer online and in-person training in the practicals of developing a relationship of ongoing intimacy with the Lord, and in the how-to’s of exercising the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Currently, we offer:

Interactive online courses taught with a mentorship-style approach – a blend of audio recorded teachings, processing activities, and one-on-one Zoom sessions with our coaches, who provide guided instruction, demonstration, practice opportunities, feedback, and dialogue.

Small Group studies – carefully crafted resources to help small groups deepen spiritual understanding, foster meaningful connections, and grow together in community.

Group training events – workshops, retreats, and other speaking or teaching engagements, both online and in-person. We are honored to have served a variety of parishes, ministries, and audiences world-wide, including Endow, Metanoia Catholic, Pray More Novenas, Legatus, TAM NOVA, Awaken Kingdom, the Diocese of Peoria, IL, the Diocese of Austin, TX, and the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, CA.

Jim & Jonna married in 2011, and both have a heart for ecumenism. They consider themselves “ruined” by the goodness of God – unable to settle for anything less than extraordinary after witnessing what’s possible through Jesus. They have a love of adventure, a fondness for the outdoors, and a propensity for exploration and long conversations over dessert. Both originally from the Midwest, they currently reside in Southern California and have been operating Catholic Revival Ministries since founding it in 2019.
