CONFERENCE SPEAKERS

Tim Barnett is a dynamic speaker who provides a perfect blend of expertise and humor in each talk. Using easy-to-follow and visually engaging presentations, Tim trains Christians to think clearly about what they believe and why they believe it. Tim's passion and energy will help motivate you and your group to love God with all your mind.

Dr. Douglas Groothuis has been explaining the world to the church and explaining the church to the world for nearly fifty years through his teaching, preaching, writing, mentoring, and general witness. His passion is to take to the streets the truth and significance of the Christian worldview for all of life. He is known as a knowledgeable, sharp, forceful, but gentle communicator of the Christian message.  

Alan Shlemon has dedicated his life to training Christians to thoughtfully articulate their faith and values. He realizes that when people are properly equipped, they’re more confident about talking with others. Because they become more skilled in maneuvering in conversation, they’re more effective at sharing their faith.
