John Michael Talbot
John Michael Talbot is an award-winning Christian musician, writer, motivational speaker, and itinerant minister to churches and parishes around the world. An early pioneer of contemporary Christian music, Talbot grew up performing in a country-rock band with his brother, Terry, before embarking on a spiritual journey that led him through Native American religion and Buddhism to Christianity. At this point he and Terry joined the Jesus Movement, recording the album Reborn on the Sparrow record label. He is now recognized as Catholic music's most popular artist with over fifty albums and four million copies sold. His songs are published in hymnals throughout the world.
A member of the Jesus Movement in the early 1970s, Talbot converted to Roman Catholicism in 1978 after immersing himself in the life and teaching of St. Francis of Assisi. He then founded his own community, the Brothers and Sisters of Charity, at Little Portion Hermitage as an "integrated monastic community" with celibate brothers and sisters, singles, and families. Talbot is also the author of numerous books bringing the Christian monastic tradition to contemporary life, including The Jesus Prayer, Blessings of St. Benedict, The Way Of The Mystics: Ancient Wisdom For Experiencing God Today, and The Music of Creation: Foundations of a Christian Life.

Tamara Park
Tamara Park (MDiv, Gordon-Conwell Seminary) is a writer, television producer, and former pastor with a passion for travel, cultures, and justice. Growing up in a family devoted to faith and social justice endeavors, Tamara's passion for narrative and curiosity for the world took shape. She quickly came to believe that everyone has a story to tell, and she has chased down stories and interviewed remarkable people in five continents. Tamara trekked from Mozambique to Morocco, learning from African leaders for the Halogen TV original series Noble Exchange: Africa. She then took rising musicians, models, and actors on a journey of discovery and service for Noble Exchange: Latin America. She recently spent a year and a half interviewing survivors of sex-trafficking and modern-day abolitionists in the U.S. and South East Asia for the TV series Tainted Love. Currently she produces videos and short films for Lifetree Café. Prior to producing, Tamara served as Pastor of Community at Warehouse 242, a church in Charlotte, North Carolina, overseeing small groups and spiritual formation. She studied and wrote articles in Jerusalem and scripted children's videos in Brussels, and after sallying through the Balkans and Middle East she authored the travel memoir Sacred Encounters from Rome to Jerusalem. Tamara lives in Fort Collins, CO, where daily she’s in awe of the Rockies, consumes ridiculous amounts of dark chocolate, and savors seeing God’s movement in lives of such fascinating people around her.
