Featuring exclusive video and commentary from celebrated figures including:

Max Lucado is a best-selling author, writer and preacher at Oak Hills Church in San Antonio, Texas. In almost 25 years of writing, more than 100 million products - 80 million books - filled with his words have been sold. Lucado is the only author to have won three Christian Book of the Year awards. In 2005, Reader's Digest magazine dubbed him "America's Best Preacher" and in 2004, Christianity Today magazine called him "America's Pastor." The product line for 3:16 - The Numbers of Hope sold more than four million units worldwide, including one million units of the cornerstone trade book of the same title (released in September 2007), making it the fastest selling Lucado product in his career. His latest, Outlive Your Life: You Were Made to Make a Difference (September 2010) hit both the Publishers Weekly and New York Times bestseller lists and has been featured on "Fox & Friends" and "CNN American Morning." He participated on the "Good Morning America" Christmas Day panel in 2009 and 2010.

Randy Frazee is the senior minister of Oak Hills Church in San Antonio, Texas, where he teaches and leads in partnership with Pastor and author Max Lucado. Prior to Oak Hills, Frazee served as teaching Pastor at Willow Creek and as senior Pastor at Pantego Bible Church in Fort Worth, Texas, for fifteen years. He is also the author of "Making Room for Life" and "The Christian Life Profile Assessment Tool."

There she developed multisite ministries at their 13 campuses.

Rev. Susan Sparks is currently the Senior Pastor (and the first woman in its 165 year history) of the historic Madison Avenue Baptist Church in New York City. A trial lawyer, turned standup comedian and Baptist minister, Rev. Sparks is America's only female comedian with a pulpit. After ten years as a lawyer moonlighting as a standup, she left her practice and spent two years on a solo trip around the world, including working with Mother Teresa's mission in Calcutta, climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro and driving the Alaska Highway. Upon returning home, she entered Union Theological Seminary in New York City where she earned a Master of Divinity and wrote an honors thesis on humor and religion.

Clay Walker first topped the Billboard country singles chart in 1993 with "What's It to You" and followed with his second consecutive No. 1 hit, "Live Until I Die." Since then he's placed 31 titles on Billboard's singles chart including such additional chart toppers as "Dreaming with my Eyes Open," "If I Could Make Living," "This Woman and This Man" and "Rumor Has It." (The latter two songs each spent two weeks at the summit.) He's enjoyed his share of success at the cash registers and has consistently been one of the busiest artists on the road. Walker has scored four platinum-selling albums, signifying sales of a million units, and two gold albums, discs that sold over 500,0000 units.

Dr. Jamal-Harrison Bryant has broken the stereotype of yesterday's clergyman. He is the leader of a new breed of ministers who embrace the idea of capitalizing on the ever-increasing marketplace of Internet and technological innovations to spread the gospel. With more than 7,500 members attending weekly services at Empowerment Temple in Baltimore, Maryland, and approximately 35,000 followers on Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace, he believes that "God is not just in the church; He is also in technology." His mission is to "empower people spiritually, develop them educationally, expose them culturally, activate them politically, and strengthen them economically."

Bishop Paul Sylvester Morton is currently senior Pastor of Changing A Generation Full Gospel Baptist Church and Co-Pastor of Greater St. Stephen Full Gospel Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia. He is also a recording artist, author and the founding and presiding Bishop of the Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship.

Dr. Debra B. Morton is the much admired and beloved Senior Pastor of the Greater St. Stephen Full Gospel Baptist Church in New Orleans, Louisiana and the Co-Pastor of Changing A Generation Full Gospel Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia.

Jimmy Wayne Barber is a country music singer and songwriter. He released his self-titled debut album in 2003 on the DreamWorks Records label. Four singles were released including "Stay Gone " and "I Love You This Much" -- both reached Top Ten on the Billboard country charts. A second album, Do You Believe Me Now , was released in August 2008 via Big Machine Records subsidiary Valory Music Group, and its title track became his first Number One hit in late 2008. In September 2009, Wayne released a cover version of Hall & Oates' 1976 single "Sara Smile," with backing vocals from Hall & Oates.

Howard Hewitt is an American R&B and gospel singer and former lead vocalist of the R&B group Shalamar. As a writer, producer, and session vocalist, Hewett co-wrote and produced "Frustration" for LaToya Jackson in 1984, and sang on her LP Heart Don't Lie. He did lead vocals on LPs by Stanley Clarke and George Duke in 1984 and 1986, a duet with Stacy Lattisaw on "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," and sang with Firefox in 1986, as well as doing backgrounds on a Donna Summer release. An eponymous 1990 album by Hewett included the number two R&B hit "Show Me," and the singer followed up with 1992's Allegiance and 1994's It's Time before going on hiatus as a solo artist and concentrating on his work as a background vocalist on albums by a variety of jazz musicians, including Duke and Joe Sample. Hewett returned with the 2001 gospel album The Journey, and the single "Enough" (also featuring Duke) arrived in 2006, followed by the holiday effort Howard Hewett Christmas in 2008.
