Dr. Towns is batting lead off, Tebow is on the schedule, but no mention of the Duck Dynasty guy:

Judah Smith just spoke at Passion 2013. He's got some issues, but I'm sure the students will love it.

He's coming for the wildfire weekend, same time as Tebow. I guess Tebow got the invite to convo over him.

I've been listening to his podcast for a while and just saw him at Passion. Definitely a big fan.

Judah Smith will no doubt give a very inspiring talk to the students, and it may be very good. The school just has to be real careful about who they invite, as Smith is real close if not right in the Word Faith movement, and in the past LU has been real quick to jump right in to whatever is popular at the moment without taking a thorough look at what they're promoting (Purpose-Driven Life, Prayer of Jabez, etc).

I'd love it if this guy was invited: www.ChristopherYuan.com
One of his videos is a talk he gave at Cedarville U, and it's pretty incredible.
