Kendra Von Esh 
       “Find Something More –
                     A Journey of Transformation and Grace”

-  Corporate Executive for Decades
-  Powerful Reversion Story & Life Changing Confession

I don’t need God … And Certainly NOT Catholicism!
 
Kendra Von Esh was a Corporate Executive who thought she had it all—money, prestige, power and bought into the "me" culture. She devoured all the pleasures this world had to offer but nothing satisfied her desire to "Find Something More" and her life filled with stress, anxiety and never being good enough continued as the norm. She bought into the lie that life was not supposed to be peaceful and loving ... that it was stressful and difficult so you better party hard because life is short.
 
Kendra was a confirmed Catholic – but knew nothing about the Faith. She only went to Mass on Christmas and Easter as a child. Her family never spoke about religion or God and the world raised her. When she moved out on her own, she wasn’t going to church of any kind for decades. 
 
Then God found her on Easter in 2013 and flipped her reality upside down and transformed her life! In her Amazon Best Seller, “Am I Catholic” Kendra recounts her struggles, triumphs and “God-incidences” that paved her way from the back pew to a state of grace, peace, and joy that can only come from the Catholic Church and a personal relationship with God.
 
In early 2018, Kendra left her career in Corporate America to evangelize the world leveraging technology, platforms and all forms of media.  In addition to speaking, she is a social media enthusiast, daily podcaster, vlogger, blogger and YouTube junkie.  Kendra believes that we are not meant to walk alone and uses media to walk together with everyone on the journey. 
 
Kendra is known for her contagious joy as she speaks of her reversion to the faith and the sacramental graces of the Catholic Church.  As an executive for decades, Kendra has years of experience on global stages as a speaker, panelist, facilitator and master of ceremonies.  She is an entertainer by nature.  Her humorous down-to-earth style sprinkled with her raw vulnerability wins over audiences as she inspires them to deepen their relationship with God and the Faith. You will leave changed!

Taylor Tripodi
        "Awaken Concert"

-  Singer, Songwriter, Worship Leader

-  Encounter God's Truth, Goodness, and Beauty

-  Sing Our Way into the Presence of the Lord


With a heart full of music and a voice full of praise, 25-year-old Taylor Tripodi from Cleveland, OH is on a mission to put people in an encounter with truth, goodness, and beauty.  Because God’s voice is more real and more powerful than any voice we hear.
Taylor graduated from Franciscan University in 2016 as a Catechetics and Theology major and, after doing youth ministry for 2 years, is now a full-time musician, singer, songwriter, and worship leader. Her music has led her all around the country and even as far as the Holy Land in Israel.

This past year she was named one of the  top 30 Catholic artists in the world and her newest EP 'Awakening' released in August 2019 just hit over 500k  streams on Spotify.

She recently began writing blogs for Ascension Press and, as the oldest of nine, she knows the importance of speaking out in order for your voice to be heard. There are a lot of voices in our world and in our minds every day, but the one voice that's never truly leaned into is the voice of God. His voice can only be heard when we chose to take the time to listen to Him and He often speaks to us through music. She hopes that we can all join voices together in praise and be attentive to the presence of God through her gifts of music.
