Paul has earned a growing national reputation as one of the most dynamic motivational youth speakers today, because of his ability to be real with teens and counsel them on the topics they care about. He communicates the Catholic faith to young people on a level that they can understand and relate to, without feeling like they are being lectured. The way he presents is a rare gift to witness, and has impacted tens of thousands of students across the nation.
“Paul J. Kim was amazing. His keynotes always hit home for me and everyone else, but they were also funny and engaging. I felt like knew exactly what I was feeling and questioning about my faith.”
- Robert | High School Student | Lake Tahoe, CA
Growing up, Paul was your typical, jaded, apathetic teen who could care less about the value of going to Church, but ate up everything MTV had to offer. After hitting a point in his life during college where he felt empty, discouraged, and depressed; after binging on everything the college party scene had to offer, he came to experience the love and mercy of Jesus Christ. This experience inspired him to become a missionary for a few years in New York City, working with at-risk youth in the South Bronx. His diverse experiences in life, along with his education in Theology, Philosophy (B.A. | Franciscan Univ. of Steubenville) and in Marriage and Family Therapy (M.A. | Hope International Univ. of Fullerton) equip him with the ability to understand the issues that people face every day, and connect with any audience.
Utilizing his talents of speaking, comedy, and his experience working as a Marriage and Family Therapist, he breaks down reservations immediately by interacting with the youth and earning their trust. He follows by inspiring audiences with a powerful message of God’s love and His ability to transform any life, no matter what the circumstances.
“He speaks a message of truth that hits home for young people and adults alike, which greatly impacted participants at our annual Diocesan Youth Retreat. Paul moves to the next level of presentation by intentionally building relationships with youth, which drives home a greater sense of connection and intimacy in his message. Paul is not just a “speaker,” but someone youth feel comfortable sharing with in confidence.”
- John Rinaldo | Diocese of San Jose Director of Youth & Young Adult Ministry | San Jose, CA
>Aside from his speaking ability, Paul’s musical talent stands on its own. What sets his music and live performances apart are his vocal abilities: beatboxing (vocal drumming), harmonies, and lyrics. He gives new meaning to the term: “one-man-band”. Using a loop machine on stage that allows him to produce live multi-track vocal instrumentals, he performs original songs and covers; effortlessly moving from one genre to another (acoustic, hip-hop, spoken word). Though his music has mainstream appeal, his lyrics convey a deep message that has captivated audiences of all ages. Paul recently released a short-length music album entitled “Run Fly Fall” (available now on iTunes & Amazon), and the videos he has been featured in on YouTube have accumulated nearly ONE MILLION views.
