Since 1983 Jed Doherty has challenged over one million young people and adults to live the way Jesus teaches us to live: to love others, to take action in response to suffering wherever we see it and to work to make everyone feel welcome and included. In other words, Jedlie challenges audiences to “ROAR For Jesus!!!” In his on stage role as Jedlie, Doherty uses the Gospel, positive reinforcement, storytelling, original music, comedy, magic tricks and illusions to help audiences connect with each other and get excited to ROAR for Jesus!!!
“Our middle and high school students loved Jedlie’s show. I especially appreciated the way Jedlie wove Gospel messages throughout his show and the respectful way he treated every member of the audience.”
Father Matt Williams, Director, Office For The New Evangelization, Archdiocese of Boston
One of the highlights of the show is a hilarious retelling of the story of the Good Samaritan. In addition to bringing lots of smiles, Jedlie uses the story to help students understand that there will be many times in their lives when they will be called on to be the hands and feet of Jesus, to be the one who gets down on bended knee to help and serve others
“Jedlie teaches that the greatest transformation of all is transforming feelings of caring into action to help another human being.”
Gabby Geraci, Catholic Spirit Newspaper, Diocese of Metuchen, NJ
