“Having been a teacher, high school principal, and a senior administrator for the past 34 years I have been blessed to work alongside a good number of exceptionally talented and faith-filled individuals.

Among these educators, there is but a handful that I could even place in the same category as Darrell with respect to his knowledge, understanding and passion for our craft. He is an altogether, and near peerless rank, among those whom I have encountered who teach Christian Education.

His excitement and interest in all things related to our faith, and more specifically with the branch of studies of Christian

Apologetics is infectious and the chief benefactors of his gifts are his students and the many colleagues he works with and alongside here at St. Thomas More Collegiate (STMC), across the province of British Columbia, throughout Canada, and internationally. A gifted and dynamic speaker, and a religious scholar of note; I highly recommend Darrell Hall.”

“His recent passion for writing and speaking is truly admirable and I only wish more people could hear his beautiful messages on suffering and evil as well as science and faith. I have had the opportunity to hear Darrell speak at various locations over the years. He is by far one of the most engaging, entertaining and intelligent speakers I have come across. If you want to hear a different and fresh approach to Faith and what God is all About; then Darrell is the person to listen to.

I have seen him bring audiences to their feet with laughter and tears in his talks about theology and faith.”

I recently had the opportunity to attend three separate but linked lectures by Mr. Darrell Hall. These lectures were part of the St. Thomas More Collegiate’s faith-based series of lectures and discussions entitled, “Bring Life to our Faith and Faith to our Life!”

Darrell is a lively presenter and interacts well with the audience. I enjoyed each of the three lectures, simply his third one was the most riveting for me. The third presentation was not only lively, it was also passionate. He joined the theory with his lived experience and moved the audience. It was great. If you have a chance to listen to Darrell speak, I would encourage you to take advantage of the opportunity.

As a speaker, I would enthusiastically recommend Darrell as one who is well researched, engaging and impactful. I especially appreciate that he eagerly approaches timely and difficult topics with thoroughness and confidence, and also challenges the audience to apply their faith to life.

Having heard Darrell speak, it is my intention to invite him to speak to our church congregation at Northside Community Church, and I do this with enthusiasm. I most heartily recommend Darrell Hall to you as a speaker.

Pastor Rob Stewart MDiv

Over the years, Darrell has presented to a number of groups, sizes of audiences, and various ministries throughout our archdiocese and through our schools. He is enthusiastic, practical, clear and articulate, and very accessible. Darrell often cuts to the heart of an issue in a winsome and practical way.

I have witnessed Darrell effectively engage audiences of greater than 1,000 and as intimate as workshops of 20 participants. He presents very effectively on apologetics and any of its topics of reasons for the faith. He has recently focused on the complementarity of faith and science, as well as

the topic of suffering. Darrell has been an instrumental part of different teacher formation initiatives and I plan to invite him to again address a number of our teachers and school staffs.

I highly recommend Darrell as a speaker.

Thank you for being such a great teacher Mr. Hall. You truly deserve your own arena, and to have people pay you for the wise words you say, because if I’m being honest they shouldn’t be free. The things I have learned in your classroom are something no science, or math teacher could ever teach me, and I will value these teachings for the rest of my life. You have truly made a huge impact on my life, and I couldn't thank you enough.
