Speaking is an integral part of the ministry of XXXchurch and the honorariums for speaking help us continue in all that we're doing. We are passionate about educating the church on the effects of pornography and sharing the reality that people within the church are struggling as much as those outside the church. It is our goal to educate and to equip the church to break free from the stronghold of sexual addiction through the word of God and shared experiences of those who have overcome. Each speaker has as unique story and will bring a solid message to your church or organization. We have created successful events such as Porn Sunday, Porn & Pancakes, Porn & Pastries, Porn & Parents and The X3Youth night but we can customize an event based on your vision and or ideas for an event that works for you.

Craig Gross and Ron Jeremy have been traveling the country speaking at Universities, Ron and Craig are now taking the debate to churches. They recently appeared at The Rock Church San Diego and at Eastlake Church in Seattle.
“We had over 3,000 people in attendance. 630 people of those who attended do not attend church.” – Miles McPherson, Senior Pastor at The Rock Church San Diego
The debate draws a huge crowd. If you really want to do an outreach to the community, then this is it. The format is pretty simple. Craig and Ron both share their opening arguments. People in attendance then get a chance to interact and ask questions to either Craig or Ron. Ron and Craig then have final closing arguments. The debate typically lasts 90 minutes and is followed be a meet and greet. The people attending then have a chance to take pictures, get autographs and ask more questions. A moderator is needed and could be the pastor of the church or someone on staff.

When it comes to marriage and parenting, what you don’t know can hurt you.
That’s the driving force behind husband and wife teaching team, Dave & Ann Wilson. This nationally-known duo shares their unique blend of wisdom, humor and practical advice at workshops and conferences across the country. As keynote speakers for Family Life marriage seminars, they’re known for their no-holds-barred look at marriage and family issues.
Before getting his seminary degree from the International School of Theology, Dave was an All-American quarterback at Ball State. Later, he used that winning attitude to co-found Kensington Church in Metro Detroit in 1990. Today, that ministry has swelled to 12,500 attenders, with six campus locations. Dave & Ann are both teaching pastors at Kensington, and often share the mega-church’s stage to teach on love, life and relationships. The couple has produced several DVD series, including “Rock Your Marriage,” “Survival Guide to Parenting,” and “Survival Guide to Relationships.” With football still in his blood, it’s not surprising that Dave’s most popular topic is his “Real Man” series. This Hall of Fame member has served as NFL Chaplain for the Detroit Lions since 1985, and Ann regularly works with player’s wives. The popular duo is known for dividing their crowd into gender-specific breakout sessions for “in-your-face guy talk” and “no-nonsense girl-to-girl time.” Married for 30 years, Dave & Ann have three sons, CJ, Austin and Cody, and two daughter-in-laws, Kendall and Robin. They live in Rochester Hills, Michigan.

He has performed at upwards of 300 shows across the country and is a regular writer for HM Magazine and Hopecore Magazine. His wife is a member of White Collar Sideshow, and they live in an RV and tour together, performing at festivals, colleges, churches, venues, bars, etc. Levi says: The Lord used XXXChurch to play an active role in disciplining him towards purity throughout the years, and he is honored to now have the opportunity to serve others alongside the ministry.

DAVID DEAN
They say laughter is medicinal for the soul. One of THE most difficult tasks we place on Pastors/Youth Pastors today is to bring in a comedian who will entertain the entire church without the fear of responding to weeks of hate mail. God has blessed David Dean with the gift of making people laugh on a full-time basis for over 22 years. Comedy that is family friendly, fast paced and most important..clean. Not corny, but clean.
David honed his talent in the late 80’s at the famous Second City School of Improvisational Comedy in Chicago. (Yes..he was a believer!). It was there where he was taught to think quick on his feet and learn to play off the audience. Eventually, God began opening doors throughout the Chicago-land area for David to come and share his humor at faith based events. Hosts not only wanted the laughter, they wanted David to talk about his walk with Christ. That chapter in his life taught him comedy is simply a platform for talking about Jesus.
David is a frequent performer, friend and trusted opening act for some of today’s biggest known clean comedians and speakers. Ken Davis, Chonda Pierce, Mark Gungor and more call on him to open for many of their shows. David has worked with Fireproof Ministries for years and has opened for many Porn and Pancakes events as well as Parents Events. Watch a comedy clip
from David as he talks about teenagers.
JAKE LUHRS
William Jacob Luhrs, frontman of Christian metal band August Burns Red, is a man of many trades. Musician, artist, ministry leader, motivational speaker, counselor—there seems to be little that he has not accomplished in his short 26 years. Luhrs is as well known for his incredible faith as he is for his powerful vocals. A dedicated role model.
Luhrs is committed to going to the the merchandise table after each and every show for the past six years to communicate with his fans. The lack of direction and counsel for our youth was troubling to Luhrs and he made it his personal mission to help fill that void. In the past two years, Luhrs has been sought out for advice, prayer, and has heard many stories of overcoming addiction and other personal issues. He felt called to further his relationship with the band’s fans and do something in return that meant more than just an autograph. He decided to take a leap of faith and start an online-based community with his wife and a few close friends. He has traveled all over the world and his message has reached thousands of people. Jake has been a friend to the ministry for many years. He runs our sister ministry Heart Support, a website where youth come to find hope, strength, fellowship, and encouragement. Heart Support in many ways is equivalent to all that Jake Luhrs embodies: understanding, restoration, and not only embracing God’s true love, but sharing that Love with everyone he meets. He is truly a man worth keeping your sights on, as we all look forward to his accomplishments yet to come.
Jake has an incredible testimony that you can hear about by clicking this link. Jake is available for a number of different events but has limited availability because of his touring schedule with his band.
