In this challenging and inspiring keynote, Bishop Joe encourages ministry leaders and disciples to stop inviting Jesus into our plans—and start joining Him in His.

With warmth, wisdom, and insight, he explores how we truly "fix our eyes on Jesus" in a fast-paced, noisy culture. From Scripture and sacraments to everyday life and ministry, this talk re-centres us on what matters most: Christ Himself.

You’ll be inspired to:

- Rethink how you approach planning and prayer in ministry

- Rediscover the joy of simply being with Jesus

- Recognise where God is already working around you

- Encourage young people to see Jesus not as a helper, but as the leader
