Speakers

Megan Almon

Megan Almon, a former University of Georgia gymnast, worked as an award-winning journalist until 2008, when she decided to pursue a career speaking and teaching about Christian apologetics — especially in the area of bioethics. She joined Life Training Institute in 2009, and earned a M.A. in Christian apologetics from Biola University in 2011. Megan and her husband, Tripp, live near Atlanta with their children, Neely, 11, and Rogan, 4. Megan speaks to high schools, college groups, women’s ministries, pregnancy resource centers, congregations and legislators across the nation, and is still known to practice handstands in her living room.

Lee Strobel

Atheist-turned-Christian Lee Strobel is the former award-winning legal editor of The Chicago Tribune and best-selling author of more than twenty books. His classic, The Case for Christ, is a perennial favorite which details his conversion to Christianity. His recent release, The Case for Grace, just won the 2016 Nonfiction Book of the Year from the EPCA. For the last twenty-five years, his life’s work has been to share the evidence that supports the truth and claims of Christianity and to equip believers to share their faith with the people they know and love. Lee is currently a teaching pastor at Woodlands Church in Texas where he speaks multiple times each year. He recently joined the faculty at Houston Baptist University as a Professor of Christian Thought.

Craig Hazen, Ph.D.

Craig J. Hazen is a Professor of Comparative Religion and Christian Apologetics at Biola University and Director of the Christian Apologetics Program. He is the editor of the philosophy journal, Philosophia Christi. He has authored or contributed to range of scholarly works including To Everyone and An Answer, Apologetics Study Bible and his novel Five-Sacred Crossings. Hazen holds a Ph.D. in Religious Studies, a degree in Biological Sciences, and has studied International Human Rights in Strasbourg, France.

He has been on the pastoral staff of two large churches and has authored apologetics software as well as encyclopedia and journal articles.

He volunteers at Champion Forest Baptist Church in Houston, TX with his beautiful wife, Katya, and his two daughters, Juliette and Giselle, where he teaches an advanced theology and apologetics class.

Greg Koukl

A central theme of Greg’s speaking and writing is that Christianity — if it’s not properly understood and properly communicated — makes the most sense of the world as we find it. He has spoken on more than 70 colleges and university campuses both in the United States and abroad and has hosted his own call-in radio show for 27 years advocating “Christianity worth thinking about.” He’s debated many and is an award-winning writer and best-seller author. Greg has written seven books, including The Story of Reality - How the World Began, How it Ends, and Everything Important that Happens in Between; Tactics - A Game Plan for Discussing Your Christian Convictions and Relativism: Feet Firmly Planted in Mid-Air. Greg has been featured on Focus on the Family radio and has been interviewed for CBN and the BBC. He’s been quoted in Christianity Today, the U.S. News & World Report and the L.A. Times.
