Speaker: David J. Hardie

David mmm J mmmm Hardie is a big, bearded, full time youth speaker who travels the world inspiring teenagers and adults to "Tell a Bigger Story" while creating some pretty awesome T-Shirts designs (which he draws by hand) that he sells at large events (like the LIFE Conference). He is a grizzled veteran of youth ministry, having logged in over 20 years as a frontline, full time youth pastor. If you paid David ten million dollars and told him that he could do whatever he wanted for the rest of his life, he'd spend the remainder of his days speaking at youth retreats and camps.

Worship: Throne Room Worship

Throne Room Worship is a worship collective, birthed in the heart of metro Detroit. Consisting of Andrew, Zac, and Garrett, the band was formed out of a dream and desire to see the Church return to a place of intimacy in worship.

Based out of Hebrews 4:16, “Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” It is the goal and heartbeat of the band to introduce and reintroduce the family of God to the access we have to enter into the presence of God, because of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ to restore relationship between God and His children.
