Lance Wallnau

Speaker

**Only in San Diego

USA Today described him as one of only three evangelical leaders to accurately predict Donald Trump’s Presidency from the moment he began his campaign. His Best Selling book, “God's Chaos Candidate,” broadcasts and viral media influenced 3-5 million undecided evangelical voters.
His prediction that Trump would be a modern-day Cyrus was challenged by left-wing news outlets but vindicated on March 5, 2018, the day Prime Minister Netanyahu met with President Trump in the White House to thank him for his historic embassy decision, linking him to Cyrus. A New York Times op-ed quotes Lance: “Could Trump be God's Cyrus?”

Lance is the innovator who introduced the “Seven Mountains of Culture” as a fresh template to explain how the church must engage culture at the turn of the century.

Dr. Wallnau is a strategist, futurist and compelling communicator who has shared platforms with Ben Carson, Mike Pompeo, and best-selling authors Ken Blanchard and John Maxwell. He has conducted training for the United Nations and spoken at Harvard, the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, and the London School of Theology. With a thirty-year background consulting business and non-profits, Lance’s students represent a global tapestry spanning governments, CEOs, entertainers, and entrepreneurs.

He currently directs the Lance Learning Group, a strategic teaching and consulting company based in Dallas, Texas.
