FEATURED SPEAKERS

  • Becky Alcantar is an author, public speaker, and the founder of Journey To Wholeness.

    Becky specializes in bridging scripture and neuroscience to help couples understand what’s causing their relational challenges, and then equip them with tools to overcome, heal, and move forward together.

    Becky has been married to her best friend, Ruben, and has been blessed with three children, Risa, Rachel and David. When not serving together as a family at church and in the community, you’ll find them actively seeking God in the beauty of his creation - on hikes, by the water and chasing sunsets. 

  • Mark & Tiffany Ivey are the founders and lead Pastors of Christ Alive Church.

    Since the 1980s, they have uniquely counseled couples in how to pray for one another, and offer God the challenges they face in marriage as an opportunity to discover God’s love, and the incredible purpose He has for each marriage.

    Mark & Tiffany have been married for 34 years, and are the parents of 3 children, as well as the grandparents of 2 grandchildren.

  • Among many roles they have in their own landscaping business, church, and community, LJ serves as the Lead Principle of Christian Family Academy, in Conover, NC.

    LJ & Jessie both understand the rush and toll that family sports and owning businesses can try to take on a marriage.

    They have encouraged and shown many couples how to prioritize their marriage and work through relational challenges despite the busy schedules that many often struggle to manage.

They are the result of a consistent investment of time, thoughtfulness, forgiveness, affection, prayer, mutual respect, and a rock-solid commitment between a husband and a wife.”
