Ron Luce is the president and founder of Teen Mania Ministries, a Christian youth organization that reaches millions of young people worldwide.  Raised in a broken home, Ron ran away at the age of 15 and became involved in drug and alcohol abuse before finding Jesus at the age of 16.  The life-transforming impact of Christ inspired Ron to dedicate his life to reaching young people.  After receiving a bachelor’s degree in Theology and Psychology and a master’s degree in Counseling, Ron and his wife, Katie, started Teen Mania in 1986 with nothing more than a Chevy Citation.  Their dream was to raise up an army of young people who would change the world. As a part of Teen Mania, Ron rallies teens all over the U.S. in arenas and stadiums at events called Acquire the Fire, with over 3 million attendees to date.  Ron appeared as a teen culture expert on CNN God’s Warriors, ABC Nightline, NBC, The Sean Hannity Show, The O’Reilly Factor, 700 Club, and Focus on the Family.  Ron and Katie live in Garden Valley, Texas, with their son Cameron while their two daughters, Hannah and Charity are off at college.

She’s RIVETING, REAL and RELEVANT! Powerhouse speaker, motivator and author, Jennifer Keitt, reaches over1,000,000 people weekly with one simple truth: “You can be successful in life every day!” Leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs—women and men—globally have been touched with Jennifer’s ability to inspire and encourage them to live confident, powerful lives. She has earned honors for her contributions as the founder and host of the nationally syndicated Today’s Black Woman Radio Show. A graduate of the University of Alabama at Birmingham in Broadcast Journalism, Jennifer’s life mission to “empower, educate, equip and encourage” has become a way of life in her roles as wife and mother of four. After turning her love for feature reporting into a radio show that would make a difference, Jennifer and her husband Tony (both media veterans) launched T.J. Communications Inc. a media consulting and communications company.  T.J. produces and distributes radio programming, consults radio stations and coaches professionals in the area of personal and professional success, speaking, presenting and communicating. While media is her forte, Jennifer is closer to realizing a life-long dream of making a lasting change in the lives of women and men through her non-profit organization. She envisions building a one-of-a-kind “life-institute”—a state of the art, retreat-like facility—for women to come to for practical, relevant courses, classes, workshops, conferences, retreats and most importantly the critical help and support that they desire, aiding in their life transformation.
