MAIN SPEAKERS

LARRY FOWLER

Larry Fowler is the founder of Legacy Coalition, a national ministry focused on equipping Christian grandparents to fulfill their biblical role of impacting grandchildren.

For 50 years, he has pursued his calling to children’s ministry, beginning as a youth pastor, then missionary, then international trainer (in 47 different countries), and senior executive with Awana Clubs International. He has years of experience writing children’s ministry curriculum. He is the author of the best-selling books, Rock Solid Kids and Raising a Modern-Day Joseph, as well as several other books on children’s ministry, parenting, and grandparenting. He has been featured in parenting videos by Focus on the Family and is a frequent main-stage and breakout speaker at conferences and seminars. His latest books are Overcoming Grandparenting Barriers and My Wish of All Wishes, a children’s book for grandparents to read.

In 2012, he was the recipient of the Legacy Award from the International Network of Children’s Ministry, recognizing him for his lifelong impact upon children’s ministry in America. That same year, Larry felt God’s call to a new focus—grandparenting—and he and his wife Diane moved to Riverside, California to be closer to his son and daughter-in-law as they started their family.

In 2016, Larry followed his new calling, and led the launch of the Legacy Coalition. This launch was the catalyst for a national grandparenting movement. This movement calls Christian grandparents to become intentional in perpetuating faith in their families and is characterized by grandparents first realizing their biblical role and their potential for spiritual influence, and then becoming purposeful in their interactions with their grandchildren.

Now, its 100-plus staff members and key volunteers serve local churches and equip grandparents through podcasts, webinars, blogs, printed materials, and other resources. They also conduct the only national conference on Christian grandparenting, the Legacy Grandparenting Summit.

Larry and Diane have two grown children, seven grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, and live in Riverside, California.

DR. CHRISTOPHER YUAN

Dr. Christopher Yuan is an internationally respected speaker, author, and authority on biblical sexuality. His award-winning book, Holy Sexuality and the Gospel, was recognized as the 2020 Resource of the Year for Social Issues by Outreach Magazine.

In this work, Dr. Yuan articulates a theologically robust, gospel-centered framework that calls Christians to reject identity rooted in sexuality and instead embrace holy sexuality: chastity in singleness and faithfulness in marriage. This Christ-centered paradigm offers a biblically faithful alternative to secular classifications such as gay or straight.

Dr. Yuan earned his B.A. from Moody Bible Institute, an M.A. in Biblical Exegesis, and a Doctor of Ministry. He taught Bible at Moody for over twelve years and has since expanded his global ministry to five continents, where he equips churches to address questions of sexuality and gender through a biblical lens.

He is also the creator of The Holy Sexuality Project—a pioneering home-discipleship video series developed to equip parents and grandparents to guide their children in understanding and embracing a biblical vision of sexuality.

Dr. Yuan's mother, Angela Yuan, has been an integral part of this journey. She endured profound trials—including a broken yet redeemed marriage and long seasons of intercessory prayer for her prodigal children. Throughout these years, she witnessed God's transformative power and devoted herself to ongoing spiritual renewal through Christ.
