Todd Gerelds

“Todd Gerelds spoke at our chapel this fall to over 500 students. I received excellent feedback on the presentation. Todd has a great story to share and he does it in a manner that appeals to teens! I want to give him my highest recommendation.”

“The Tuscumbia Education Foundation was honored to host Todd Gerelds at a recent community wide speaking event. Hearing the inspirational story of Woodlawn directly from its author was truly a special experience. Mr. Gerelds did a phenomenal job engaging our diverse crowd by retelling facts & memories from his childhood, and sharing how God used these events to shape the lives of his family, a football team, and a city.”

“Today I heard Todd Gerelds share with the Bob Jones High school football team in Madison Alabama. He presented a message of personal sacrificial love & hope based on the example of Christ. He held the attention of the entire team & their coaches. As a former coach and now pastor I appreciated Todd's message of hope and love for others that is only found in and through Jesus Christ.” ,

Todd Gerelds effectively tells the story of Woodlawn from his first person experience. As a child, Todd watched the transformation of an entire football team in 1973 racially torn Birmingham, Alabama and he naturally recalls his father’s involvement and wonder at how God used ordinary high school athletes to change a community. His communicative style is easy and unforced, friendly and pleasant

Henderson & Walton Women’s Center, P.C. had the privilege of having Todd Gerelds speak at our annual Thanksgiving staff meeting on November 11, 2015. The message that he brought to our staff was one of hope in the face of adversity. It was a powerful message on the power of grace. His story revolved around his book entitled “Woodlawn”. He told us of his account regarding the racial tensions in Birmingham

What a blessing having Todd Gerelds, author of Woodlawn at LCC this morning. If you haven't heard his message, then you are missing out! I would encourage everyone to talk to your church and have him come speak. Amazing man, amazing message, and amazing representative of our Lord and Savior
