Meet Ed Van Buskirk

Ed Van Buskirk has a corporate background in consulting and IT software. He founded If U Love Me in 2018 after a life-changing men’s retreat challenged him to reflect on his awareness and understanding of the Ten Commandments.

After prayerful reflection, Ed realized that the Ten Commandments are a wealth of wisdom given to us by a Loving God who only and always wants the very best for us. Following God’s call, he founded If U Love Me so others, who may have missed the greatness of the Commandments, could rediscover them, and the God who wrote them by His very hand, in a new light. to show how the Ten Commandments could bring spiritual renewal to people of faith.

In his talks at parishes, retreats, and conferences Ed brings the Commandments to life through teachings and stories that demonstrate the joy and freedom of the Commandments.


Through the organization’s mission, Ed shares how the Commandments have come to life in his presentations his profound experience at parishes, retreats, and conferences worldwide.

“Every day, as I explore something new about God and His Commandments,” As I work on this non-profit,” said Ed, “I discover even more of the richness of the Ten Commandments and how they are refreshing in their simplicity and amazing in their completeness for living a joy-filled life.”

Ed provides inspiring and engaging presentations for conferences, retreats, and parish missions, business lunches and more. Offer a unique presentation that no one is talking about, yet is the solution to the real challenges our world faces, by scheduling Ed for your next event.
