What we look for
Our values
- 01
Christ-Centered
Our speakers point people to Jesus. Whatever the topic, whether leadership, marriage, business, or the arts, their message is shaped by the gospel and grounded in Scripture.
- 02
Biblically Faithful
Our speakers hold to historic, orthodox Christian belief and teach in line with it. They don’t use the platform to promote teaching that contradicts our Statement of Faith.
- 03
Integrity On and Off the Stage
What a speaker teaches and how they live should match. We expect our speakers to model honesty, humility, sexual integrity, and financial integrity in public and in private.
- 04
Servants of the Local Church
Our speakers exist to strengthen churches and ministries, not to build a personal brand at their expense. They honor the hosts, leaders, and pastors who invite them.
- 05
Professional and Dependable
They show up prepared, on time, and as promised. They communicate clearly with organizers and respect the audience’s time.
- 06
Accountable
Every speaker is connected to a local church and is open to correction. When concerns come up, they handle them with humility.
Statement of Faith
Sent Speakers is a Christian organization. These beliefs reflect the historic Christian faith and are affirmed by every speaker on our platform.
- Scripture
- We believe the Bible, Old and New Testaments, is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. It is the final authority for faith and life.
- God
- We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
- Jesus Christ
- We believe Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died on the cross as a substitute for sinners, rose bodily from the dead, ascended to the Father, and will return in glory.
- Humanity
- We believe every person is created in the image of God, with dignity and worth. All have sinned and are separated from God, and all need a Savior.
- Salvation
- We believe salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. It is a gift of God, not earned by works.
- The Holy Spirit
- We believe the Holy Spirit lives in every believer, giving new life, empowering holy living, and equipping the Church for ministry.
- The Church
- We believe the Church is the body of Christ, made up of all true believers, and is expressed through local congregations that gather for worship, teaching, fellowship, and mission.
- Marriage and Sexuality
- We believe God created people male and female in His image. We believe marriage is a covenant between one man and one woman, and that sexual intimacy belongs only within that covenant. We believe every person, regardless of their struggles or story, deserves to be treated with kindness, dignity, and respect, and that the gospel offers grace and hope to all of us.
- The Future
- We believe Jesus will return to judge the living and the dead, and that God will make all things new.
