Trey Lewis, founder and CEO of Good Landing, was delivered from addiction in 2005 and was immediately filled with a passionate calling to tell everyone about the transforming power and love that is found only in Christ. It was in his first year of law school that Trey realized God was setting him on a path to fulfill a dream in his heart to open an inpatient residential treatment facility that would transform the lives of men who were hurting and lost to their addiction to drugs and alcohol. Trey has traveled the country while preaching the gospel, leading outreach initiatives, and inspiring thousands of people across America.

Dr. Christopher Yuan is a highly sought-after expert whose book, Holy Sexuality and the Gospel, was named 2020 book of the year for social issues by Outreach Magazine. As more confusion abounds on sexuality and gender, Dr. Christopher Yuan powerfully articulates that God's truth is crystal clear and not gray. Through the narrative of his personal transformation from an agnostic gay man to a Bible professor and through his graduate level education in biblical languages, theology, and even health sciences, Dr. Yuan casts a compelling vision of not identifying with our sexuality but embracing Christ and a biblical standard of holy sexuality.
