We are sick of the superficial. We are desperate and hungry for real meaning. We are asking questions. We are seeking answers. We are on the hunt to find the best in each meaningful area of life, forcing conversations that peel back the cultural layers, the media muck, and questions that our ever-shifting society is asking. There IS truth out there and we are determined to find and uncover it.

Jason Howard
With his film and editing abilities, Jason has come to be known for his emotional, cinematic storytelling. This modern-day storyteller has been asked to assist companies to the likes of: Avon Inc., Politico, The Broadcasting Group (Editor for Alicia Keys & Chelsea Handler), Brian Wayne Johnson (NBC // The Voice), National Recording Artist, Zach Loomis and Grace Tv (India). He was recently asked to be the editor for the 2016 Republic & Democratic National Conventions. His 15+ years of pastoral ministry mixed with his cinematic background has allowed him to have a unique perspective, impassioning him to fervently pursue a media movement that would uncover and reveal beautiful and brutal truth through new and creative media. But beware, his undying love for European Football will have him bantering and trash-talking about his Arsenal Gunners.
Gilbert Silva
A passion for the local church this regional and local leader finds himself often communicating through written or verbal forms. Though he would never admit to it his leadership has been recognized locally as well as regionally through his MFI affiliation. He has lead his congregation as the lead Pastor for over 25 years and was able to contribute to launching and supporting several other church-plants located both domestically and internationally. His pastoral heart leads you to think he knows no stranger. His wife, Eileen, is the quiet backbone to the success of their ministry and the raising of their 3 grown children.
Brian Del Turco
Coming from a background in new media, radio announcing, and innovative marketing, Brian has found his way into becoming a modern-day, strategic thought-leader. His well runs deep with experience in church-planting, pastoral ministry and higher education. Brian is most amped when he is generating ideas, solutions and concepts that stir up healthy transformation. His theological degree and graduate studies have some coining him a modern-day "spiritual strategist." He lives with five women (Penny, his wife, and four daughters)! And so you wouldn't be shocked to often find him on his board, surfing the "estrogen waves" in the Del Turco home.
Alicia Howard
Alicia has counseled and taught for 15 years in the public school system, focusing much of her attention on the art and skill of effective counseling. She's committed to teaching, training and developing students, teachers and fellow counselors. Alicia is also energized about cultivating healthy marriages and is often discovered kicking up spicy conversations around marital intimacy and "wreck-proofing" relationships.
