A Certified Speaker for the Theology of the Body Institute, National Trainer for Ascension Press, and presenter at the 2015 World Meeting of Families, Damon keeps a full international speaking schedule at conferences, marriage seminars, universities, high schools, seminaries, and parishes on the good news of marriage, sexuality, Theology of the Body, Theology of the Family, adoption, and NFP.

Since coming to a deeper conversion in college, Greg Boudreaux has been driven to share Christ with others through song. He has done so as half of the musical duo Greg&Lizzy with his wife and as a founding member of The Vigil Project. Over the last decade, Greg has worked extensively all over the world to mentor music leaders for the Church and offer retreats for musicians.
Greg and his wife Lizzy are songwriters and have three children, Molly, Louis, and Sam (the tiny members of the Vigil team). His spirit animal is the seagull - he loves the water, loves fishing, wishes he could fly, and he’s always hungry.
