Kevin Ball, Keynote Speaker

Kevin Ball – Keynote Speaker

Where Justice, Love, and Mercy Meet

I might as well say this up front: I’ve never been much of a fan of long bios full of grand achievements, past callings or reasons to “ooo and ahhh.” It has always just felt a bit “off” to me.  Afterall, our perfect Father in Heaven ushered in the Restoration by introducing the most amazing being to ever live on this earth in just 7 perfect words.  Surely that says something…so I’ll be brief.  I love the Lord with all that I am and strive to be worthy to be called His friend. I love discussing the Gospel with like-minded souls and will choose that delicious pastime over almost anything, when I can.  I adore my family and take my role as husband and father as a profound stewardship.  I love the temples of God (in all of their forms) and strive to find myself near them. I am originally from the Pacific Northwest and currently live in Houston, Texas.
