Francis and Lisa Chan
The best-selling author of Letters to the Church, Crazy Love, Forgotten God, and Erasing Hell. Currently, Francis is planting churches in the San Francisco area (We Are Church). Together, Francis and his wife Lisa raise their seven children in Northern California and are co-authors of the book You and Me Forever: Marriage in Light of Eternity. Both are actively involved in inner-city ministry.
Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott
A husband-and-wife team who not only share the same name, but the same passion for helping others build healthy relationships. Married in 1984, the Parrotts bring real-life examples to their speaking platform. Their professional training – Leslie as a marriage and family therapist, and Les as a clinical psychologist – ensures a presentation that is grounded, insightful and cutting-edge. Part of Les and Leslie’s vision for building stronger, life-long marriages is to equip a band of more than a million marriage mentors who walk alongside less experienced couples. Research reveals that marriage mentoring is one of the best things we can do to cut the divorce rate and improve marriages. As #1 New York Times best-selling authors, their books have sold over two million copies and include best-selling and Gold-medallion winner Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts.


Andrew Stanley
Growing up as a homeschooled preacher’s kid, it was unlikely that Andrew Stanley would ever find love, become a comedian, or contribute to society in a meaningful way. Two out of three is not too bad! Now a husband, father, and fast-rising stand-up comedian, Andrew has been performing all over the country since 2016. His unique perspective pairs well with his dry delivery and observational nature. Andrew can be heard regularly on Sirius XM radio, he was selected as a New Face of Comedy at Montreal’s prestigious Just For Laughs Comedy Festival, and he appeared on Nate Bargatze’s “The Showcase” on Nateland in 2023. Andrew’s parents are still alive so he works clean.
