A Life Changing Experience.
In 2024, Christian traveled across the United States documenting Ben Tracy’s run across the country. This journey was physically intense, emotionally raw, and completely life changing. Along the way, he met families who had lost their children to online predators, dangerous social media challenges, and other devastating digital dangers. Their stories opened his eyes to the urgent need for awareness and action. That experience didn’t just change how he sees the world...it lit a fire in him.
Christian is now a passionate advocate for youth online safety, using his skills as a storyteller to help parents, educators, and young people understand what’s happening behind the screens and what we can all do to keep kids safe.
Sherrie Gibelyou: Principal: Concordia Christian Academy
“Christian had a real impact on our students. His compassion was evident in everything he covered, and much of what he said was a true eye-opener for students and parents. The stories he shared were heartbreaking to hear, but they were also necessary. Many of our students and families were unaware of the darker aspects of the web and social media. Many people told me they appreciated what he had to say and felt more aware of the dangers after he spoke. Christian offered to stay and talk individually with students after each presentation. He had many students stay to speak further. I plan to have him back next fall for a parent night. We can't provide enough education about the pitfalls of technology for our kids and parents!”
Katy Elkins: Upper School Counselor: Boyd Buchanan School
“Christian's visit to our campus was a blessing to our students, parents, & faculty. He speaks from the stage with kindness and empathy. Then, he engages with students individually with incredible sincerity & understanding. Christian's message is relevant & impactful. I highly recommend Christian to speak to any school community!”
Liz McKibben: Dean of Students: Episcopal Day School
“Christian Hall was an exceptional presenter for our students, parents, and faculty. He engaged each audience with a consistent, age-appropriate message that combined factual information with relatable anecdotes and underscored the importance of protecting children online. Our parents were eager to continue asking questions and seeking advice, and our students in grades 3–8 felt equally comfortable doing the same. My only regret is that we could not require every parent and caregiver to attend. We cannot recommend Christian, Ben, and Haven’s resources highly enough.”
April Parker: Assistant Principal: St. Pius X Catholic School
“You could hear a pin drop in the Alumni Auditorium at St. Pius X Catholic School as students listened in awe to Christian Hall discuss the dangers and secrets of social media for teens. Christian detailed the hidden identity of predators, how big-name companies prey on their feeds, and the impact screen time can have on their life both now and in the future. The ripple effect was felt as student after student raised their hand with deep, insightful questions that Christian took care to answer one by one. As students left the auditorium, Christian stayed behind to talk to each one who came to him with stories of their own experience, burning questions, or seeking advice. Later that evening St. Pius parents came to hear Christian speak on the same dangers, but in more depth, detailing the darkest corners of social media and how teens find themselves in hopeless situations resulting from isolation, bullying, peer pressure, and fear all a result of social media. Parents were made aware of sites they had never heard of, all while gaining strategies to combat these challenges through honest dialogue as a family, listening to one another, and setting healthy parameters. Parents learned the right age to allow cell phones, alternatives to Smart Phones, and the right age to introduce certain online sites together as a family. St. Pius X Catholic School community could not be more grateful for the opportunity to host Christian Hall to speak with both parents and students. This initiative has set a goal for greater unity as a school of distinction, as a community of like minded parents, educators, and students who belong to one another and seek to follow God's plan for a life of peace, joy, and continued growth in holiness set apart from the norm of secular society.”
Nick Tanis: Principal: Christ the King Catholic School
"Christian Hall provided a candid, real conversation with our students about the potential dangers of being on-line. His approach with the students was practical and informative. Rather than telling students that technology was "bad" or to be avoided at all costs (that's not practical), he informed them about the dangers of using certain platforms or how predators behave through examples of things that happened to real people. In the evening, he gave a presentation to parents that provided practical ways for parents to be aware of on-line safety dangers. This was especially important because their children are growing up with digital access they did not have, so tips for navigating are always appreciated."
A storyteller on a mission to amplify the voices of those who have lost so much.
