The Solomon Foundation

When Michael and his wife, Lois, visited South Africa in 2003, they were shocked at the conditions children were being raised in. They immediately began searching for ways to improve these children’s lives. Soon, they were working with the community, crèches, schools, and teachers to find solutions – and they never stopped. Since the nonprofit’s founding in 2005, AWA has impacted thousands of people in South Africa by generating lasting, positive change.

Lynn has been preaching for more than 45 years, led in multiple revivals in preaching and music ministry, led a mission organization dedicated to rescuing children in need in The Philippines, and of course, Lynn previously served our Midwest Region as a Regional Vice President with The Solomon Foundation.

Dr. Diana Pavlac Glyer. Diana joined us in Aruba to discuss radical collaboration, and we're so pleased to have her joining us again today!

She has spent more than 40 years combing through archives and studying old manuscripts. Her book The Company They Keep: C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien as Writers in Community changed the way we talk about these writers.

Her most recent book, BANDERSNATCH: C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, and the Creative Collaboration of the Inklings teaches us how to follow in their footsteps.

Diana’s scholarship, her teaching, and her work as an artist all circle back to one common theme: Creativity Thrives in Community.

Clayton is the lead pastor at The Crossing, a missional, multisite, megachurch planted in 11 micropolitan (and smaller) communities across 3 states, ranging in population from 125 to 40,000.

The church is currently running about 5,400 in attendance, and Outreach Magazine regularly lists The Crossing as one of the largest and fastest-growing churches in America.

Clayton recently finished walking The Crossing through an eight-week series entitled "Better: How to Win at Home". Over eight weeks, Clayton and the teaching team explored God's design, intention, and guidance for the most important relationships in our lives, tackled extremely relevant topics facing families today, and equipped the congregation with tangible tools along the way.

Dr. Wes is a pastor, clinical psychologist, and author specializing in the mental health and wellbeing of ministry leaders.

The needs of ministry often outweigh leaders' personal resources. Providing an enduring quality of leadership across the entire bandwidth of church and personal life is a formidable task. With countless variables in play, a pastor’s ability to maintain a healthy life can be a challenging needle to thread. Join Dr. Wes as he facilitates our weekly ministry leadership discussion.
