Bob Lenz

Considered one of the nation's top youth speakers, Bob easily connects with his audiences by sharing on the unconditional love and grace of God, intertwining stories and personal experiences that help youth deal with real life. He explores sober issues while using his unique gift of humor to help young people realize their need for God in their lives. Somewhere between laughing at one of his embarrassing moments and getting choked up over one of his true stories, they realize their lives have been changed.

Matt Pitt

Dave & Rachel Ramsey
 

Dave Ramsey, a personal money management expert, is an extremely popular national radio personality, and author of the New York Times best-sellers The Total Money Makeover, Financial Peaceand More Than Enough. On Oct. 15, 2007, Ramsey added television host to title when “The Dave Ramsey Show on Fox Business Network” debuted nationally. Ramsey knows first-hand what financial peace means in his own life – living a true rags-to-riches-to-rags-to-riches story. By age twenty-six he had established a four-million-dollar real estate portfolio, only to lose it by age thirty. He has since rebuilt his financial life and now devotes himself full-time to helping ordinary people understand the forces behind their financial distress and how to set things right – financially, emotionally and spiritually.

 

Rachel Cruze was shown at a young age how to follow in her parents’ footsteps. Dave and Sharon Ramsey intentionally taught their three children the four main areas of money: working, saving, spending, and giving.

 

She has been speaking to audiences of 3,000 to 10,000 since age 16 and is a graduate of Dale Carnegie Training. Now completing her Communication Studies degree at the University of Tennessee, Rachel is entering “the family business” and is excited about reaching today’s teens and young adults with the message of Financial Peace. Rachel Ramsey married Winston Cruze in December 2009.

Justin Lookado

Justin Lookadoo was a part-time youth director and a full time safe and drug free school consultant.  A Juvenile Probation Department hired him as their Crime and Drug Prevention Specialist where he spent the next five years creating programs to keep young people safe from harm.

In 2000, he left the Juvenile Probation Department and became a national safe and drug free consultant working all over the nation.  In 2001, he created the program phenomenon most often asked for by schools and churches called R U Dateable. The program teaches young people the qualities it takes to be a dateable.

In 2003, the book Dateable: are you? are they? was published and went straight to the Christian Booksellers Association Best-Seller List.  Today it is in the #8 position on the list.  Dateable has been printed in 10 countries and 7 different languages.

Since 1993, Justin has made more than 4,000 presentations to one and a half million young people.  He has ten books published of which four made it to best-seller status.  In December 2009, Justin asked the Lord to give him an outreach program that would draw young people to church.  God gave him the vision for Is It Holy.  Every teen, youth director and pastor should see this program.
