JIMMY MITCHELL

IS A CATHOLIC SPEAKER and author (with a great love for the New Evangelization), a film composer (but only for movies that don’t exist), and, most recently, a seminarian whose work for more than 15 years has centered on restoring beauty to Christian life and culture. From 2010–2013, he arranged and recorded piano for Marian Grace before releasing solo instrumental albums in 2014 (Through It All) and 2016 (Love [An Epic]). He served as Chief Curator of Love Good for more than a decade and hosted The Love Good Podcast from 2017–2021. In 2020, Jimmy moved to Tampa and eventually became Assistant Principal for Mission at Jesuit High School, overseeing one of the largest campus ministry programs in the country. His first book, Let Beauty Speak: The Art of Being Human in a Culture of Noise, was published by Ignatius Press in 2023.

In 2025, he returned to seminary for the Diocese of Nashville. Under the guidance of his bishop and alongside several other seminarians, he is discerning the foundation of a new society of apostolic life called the Apostles of Divine Love, whose hopeful charism of spiritual fatherhood seeks to revitalize the Church through the evangelization of young people. Please pray for him and all his confreres, and feel free to follow him on Instagram for regular updates. Ad salutem animarum!

JIMMY'S MOST POPULAR TALKS:

1. Let Beauty Speak: The Art of Being Human in a Culture of Noise

In a culture of noise that casts aside truth and goodness, beauty is the last-standing transcendental. Whether you’re encountering a blood-orange sunset or the world’s finest symphony, beauty breaks through the noise and powerfully reminds you what it means to be human. This talk helps you understand the Church’s way of beauty and empowers you to turn it into a way of life that evangelizes culture.

2. Wear the Pants: Reclaiming Manhood in a Fatherless World

How do you grow into your full potential as a man, even if you’ve grown up without a solid father figure? Furthermore, how do you become an effective mentor in the lives of others? Whether you’re married with kids or a freshman in college, you are called to spiritual fatherhood. This talk empowers you to reclaim that essential truth and discern your own unique calling as a man.

3. Wounded by Love: Understanding Salvation from Creation to the Cross

It’s easy to go to church regularly without personalizing the Gospel or letting it change your life. How do you embrace each truth of salvation history from Creation to the Cross? How do preach the Gospel with your life? This talk dives into the full story of God’s love affair with humanity and inspires you to connect the dots with the most ordinary circumstances of your life.

4. Be Those Saints: How to Become Agents of Renewal in Times of Crisis

There’s no doubt that we’re living in a time of crisis for both the Church and the culture at large. Down through the centuries, the saints have always been the great agents of renewal in similar times of crisis. This talk explores the lives of several great saints and proposes practical ways that we can be those saints in these times and rise up as agents of renewal amidst crisis.

5. Reclaiming Your Sacramental Imagination in a World Without Wonder

G.K. Chesterton once claimed that God “has the eternal appetite of infancy; for we have sinned and grown old, and our Father is younger than we.” Sadly, all of us grow old in our sin as we leave behind the innocence of youth and the purity of child-like faith. This talk explores what it means to see the world with a sacramental imagination and inspires you to become young again with the gift of wonder.
