Craig Groeschel is the founder and senior pastor of LifeChurch, a multi-site church with locations in ten states. Following a vision God gave him for a different kind of church, he and a handful of people launched LifeChurch in 1996 in a two-car garage. Groeschel performed market research among non-churchgoers and designed his church in response to what he learned. Groeschel’s non-traditional style was successful and attendance grew rapidly, eventually becoming the largest Protestant church in the United States with 32 LifeChurch campuses and approximately 100,000 people attending weekly. He started the free Craig Groeschel Leadership Podcast in 2016. With his team at LifeChurch, he developed the YouVersion Bible app, which has been downloaded over 200 million times. Craig has written several books including his latest release, Hope In The Dark: Believing God is Good When Life Is Not. He and his wife, Amy, live in the Edmond, Oklahoma area and have six children, two sons-in-law, and one grandson.

Jonathan “JP” Pokluda is the pastor at Harris Creek Baptist Church in Waco, Texas, and is the former leader of The Porch at Watermark Community Church in Dallas. Under his leadership, the Porch became one of the largest weekly gatherings of 20- and 30-somethings in the world reaching over 4,000 young adults on a weekly basis. After growing up in several different church denominations, JP came to understand the grace of The Gospel in his early twenties. This ignited a desire in him to reach young adults to radically follow Jesus Christ and unleash them to change the world. His belief that millenials are the most underleveraged demographic in the Church inspired JP to write Welcome to Adulting: Navigating Faith, Friendship, Finances, and Your Future. This book has already helped thousands of young adults through some of the most challenging aspects of maturing into adults. JP has taught all over the world, but the ministry he is most passionate about is his family. JP and his wife of 13 years, Monica, now live in Waco with their three children: Presley, Finley, and Weston.
