Chris Seay

Chris Seay is a church planter, pastor, president of Ecclesia Bible Society, and internationally acclaimed speaker. Among his six books are the culturally-relevant The Gospel Reloaded, coauthored with Greg Garrett, The Gospel According to Tony Soprano, and Faith of My Fathers. In 2010, Chris will be on tour to support the release of his newest book, The Gospel According to LOST, which explores life, faith, history, science, philosophy, hope, and the basic questions of what it means to be human. Each evening, the audience will watch an episode of the final season of LOST and discuss the clash between faith and reason, on the island and in real life; the struggle with guilt that consumes each character—and sometimes us, too; the dichotomy between fatalism and fate, and what the Bible advises; and how being lost—on an island or in society—presents an opportunity for reinvention that liberates some and paralyzes others.

Susan Isaacs

Susan Isaacs is a writer and comedienne with many credits in TV, film, stage, and radio including Planes Trains & Automobiles, Seinfeld, and My Name Is Earl. She is an alumnus of the Groundlings performing company, written TV specials for DirecTV, and has read her original essays on NPR’s Weekend America. Susan spent this fall on Donald Miller’s A Million Miles tour, performing a portion of her solo show based on her memoir, Angry Conversations With God, in which she takes God to marriage counseling. Publisher’s Weekly calls it "funny, biting, earthy and brilliant." Sarcastic and vulnerable, even at its most scandalous, Angry Conversations with God remains a refreshing affirmation of faith. Susan has spoken at the International Arts Movement Encounter, Pepperdine University, the BIOLA Media Conference, and teaches screenwriting for the Act One Program. In 2010, Susan is mounting a full-length version of her solo show, which is available to tour. She is also available to speak and lead workshops in writing, comedy, and acting.
