Branden Pannell helps students rise from fear and live with bold, unshakable faith. A former college athlete turned author and speaker, his journey proves that sometimes losing what you thought defined you is how God reveals who you really are.

​

At Ave Maria University, Branden’s basketball dreams were sidelined by injury. But in that silence, his faith came alive. He stepped off the court and into his calling, graduating with a deeper mission: to help the next generation walk in truth, identity, and hope.

​

Through real stories, practical truth, and a Christ-centered message, Branden equips students to face fear, find purpose, and follow through.
