Keynote Speaker

Pastor James Ward

James E. Ward is a pastor, Bible teacher, coach, best-selling author, keynote speaker, and entrepreneur who has emerged as a mainstream, conscionable voice of spiritual and moral truth. James has affectionately become known as America’s Zero Victim Pastor and leading expert on the subject of Zero Victim thinking.

Because of his unique Zero Victim, Biblical perspective, his presence is highly sought after by corporate, government, academic, and thought leaders, and on mainstream media outlets to mitigate the complex cultural, relational, intersectional, and socio-political challenges of our day.

Pastor Ward serves on numerous corporate, ministry, and advisory boards, including Regent University, St. Mary’s University, NRB, NRB TV, America Returns, Reviving Nations, Presidential Roundtable, and other notable institutions.

In his latest book, Zero Victim: Overcoming Injustice With a New Attitude, James presents a universal principle that equips individuals to succeed in every area of life —the development of a Zero Victim mindset.

Along with his wife Sharon, James is pastor and founder of INSIGHT Church near Chicago, and founder of the National Prayer Altar at the Museum of the Bible. He is Chairman and CEO of the TLN Media broadcast and digital media company.
