	Francis Chan founded Cornerstone Church in Simi Valley, California, where he served as pastor for 16 years. Francis and his wife, Lisa, recently sensed they were being called to take a step of faith and move to a major city to plant a new church. They will be using the next few months to pray and seek His will as they move from Cornerstone Church. Francis is a frequent speaker at conferences. He has authored two books, Crazy Love and Forgotten God, and his commitment is to teach directly from the words of Scripture. It is his passion to see the next generation of American Christians display a much deeper love for Jesus and their neighbors. He is also the founder of Eternity Bible College. Francis and his wife Lisa have three daughters and a son and reside in Southern California.

She is known for her relational teaching style and inviting people to discover the relevance of God and His Word in a modern world. Margaret currently lives in Morrison, Colorado, with her 6'8" husband, Leif. When she's not writing or travelling, she enjoys anything outdoors, lots of laughter, and their superpup, Hershey. But she says some of her best moments are spent communicating with her readers. So go ahead, become her friend on Facebook or follow her on twitter: @mafeinberg.

He is considered a successful entrepreneur in the financial services industry and an admired leader and speaker on the topic of Biblical financial management.

	Christy Nockels met her husband Nathan in 1993 at the Christian Artists Seminar in Estes Park, Colorado. They married in 1995 and the two began serving as worship leaders in their local church in Oklahoma City, while Nathan finished college at Oklahoma Baptist University. It was during these early years that they began writing songs together in their tiny, one bedroom apartment. In 1996, the two made an album entitled Holy Roar under the name Sons & Daughters with fellow worship leader and friend, Charlie Hall. Eventually they signed a recording contract as Watermark and moved to Nashville, TN in 1998. Together as Watermark, Christy Nockels and Nathan recorded five albums with Rocketown Records. They composed a journey full of songs, 7 of which were #1 radio singles. They have been nominated for numerous Dove Awards, including Christy's nominations for Female Vocalist of the Year, and their album A Grateful People was up for both Inspirational Album of the Year and Praise & Worship Album of the Year. Christy's heart is to encourage young women through worship and teaching, and also to encourage women of all ages to pursue mentorship relationships. Drawing from her own life experiences, through word and song, is what she loves to do most. With a heart to see young women open up their lives fully to God, Christy desires to leave a legacy and to proclaim the name of Jesus over this generation. Christy makes her home in Franklin, Tennessee with her husband Nathan and their 3 children.
