Craig Gross: As a young pastor in Southern California, Craig Gross began to notice a recurring theme among those he cared for – a struggle with pornography. Boldly and courageously, he decided to address the root of the problem, so he went to the porn industry to ask some questions. This passion led him to start XXXchurch.com, a website devoted to telling the truth about porn. In the seven years since it began, XXXchurch.com has had over 70 million visitors to the website and almost a half of million people using X3watch Accountability Software. Craig has been featured in GQ magazine,”Good Morning America,” Newsweek, CNN, LA Times, Nightline and The New York Times, and his ministry is the subject of an award winning documentary. His focus is on the purity that every believer in Christ should have and how to become free from the sexual perversion found in almost every corner of America.

David is an outspoken Christian and speaks all over the world about that commitment to Christ. Fighting through a past of drug abuse and depression, David shares on how Christ has made the difference in his life even when everyone else could think that he already “had it all.” David is also the author of the book, “More Then The Catch.”

Minister. Actor. Comedian. Playwright. Author. Singer. Any one of these titles would be enough to fill a life’s worth of work. But for John Gray these titles are one and the same. Gifted with the ability to seemingly flow effortlessly from one mantle to another, John Gray is the very definition of a Renaissance man.

John’s heart has always been turned towards the development of young people, so it is no wonder that God has seen fit to send John all over the world to speak and encourage kids to live for Christ and to fulfill their purpose through service to others.

Through song, comedy, drama and dance, Gray captivates the crowd and never lets them go.
