Speaker & Retreat Director
Retreat and Speaking inquiries:
benwagner.music@gmail.com
Ben has given speeches and directed faith-based retreats for thousands of teenagers and young adults since graduating from Marquette University in 2014 with a degree in Psychology.
Retreats and mission trips like Catholic Heart Workcamp played a profound role in his relationship to God and his own mental health. Ben uses guided small-group based activities, stories, and music to demonstrate the powers of prayer, discernment, and service in a life of faith.
Though Ben's original music tends to be secular and story-based, his musical upbringing was formed in the Church and he has been leading music for Catholic masses and worship since 2013. Ben often will lead music as part of his retreats and speaking engagements. If you are interested in having Ben come to speak or lead a retreat at your school or parish, please email him here.
