Spring 2025 Keynote Speaker

Merril Hoge

Throughout my NFL career, my time at ESPN, and my current platform in speaking and the head and health space, I have gained valuable insights into what it takes to achieve success. But success for me hasn’t only been about reaching professional milestones. It has also come through personal experiences, such as lying in intensive care, battling deep depression, relearning how to read, going through chemotherapy, and even undergoing open heart surgery.

Jacqui Jackson

The Mess is a Message

with Jacqui Jackson

Leveraging my personal story of being born in a third world country, being placed in foster care and then adopted into the states, I have seen first hand how the messiest parts of my life have been used by God to shape and direct my steps into the calling he has just for me. I have seen and believe that God can use all of our stories - the Good, the Bad and the Ugly - to bring Glory to His kingdom and to bring healing to the deepest wounds of our hearts. Romans 8:28 was true yesterday and is still true today! No matter where you have been or what you have experienced - God is ready to make your test into your testimony.

Ephesians 2:8-9
Jeremiah 29:11
Romans 8:28
