Rev. David Ault, Minister, Author, and Visionary Vocalist

For nearly 30 years David has traveled the world as a New Thought musician, keynote speaker and workshop/retreat facilitator. His focus on remembering the Divine within and reclaiming that connection has empowered hundreds of thousands on their spiritual journey. The union of David's charismatic message and heartfelt singing has elevated him to keynote speaker of choice in many nationwide churches, centers and global organizations.

David founded a Center for Spiritual Living in Mobile, Alabama and served as its senior minister for 4 years before accepting the position as senior minister for Spiritual Living Center of Atlanta, Georgia in the fall of 2010.

Through his stateside non-profit, Khmer Child Foundation, David has established an ongoing fresh water well building facilitation project in the Siem Reap area of Cambodia, as well as created a non-government regulated school that provides free education, medical/hygiene assistance, agricultural and life skills training, all against the odds of poverty and bureaucratic restriction. The school, named Future Khmer Child, currently supports nearly 200 children and young adults all year round.

If Tony Robbins were a girl, could sing like Mariah, groove like Madonna, and inspire like Oprah, you'd get Faith Rivera!

With six solo artist releases, her transformational music has been featured on popular TV shows like ER & Scrubs to NBC's Passions with her song “Forever Near,” awarded an Emmy in 2003 for Outstanding Original Song.

Faith has musically supported best-selling authors and teachers like Marianne Williamson to Michael Beckwith and wowed audiences from the Hollywood Bowl to the Honolulu Symphony, Australia to Japan & across the US at Posipalooza concerts with high-energy performances & hip-shakin' music for all ages & all faiths.

Her heart-opening pop songs have been used in so many empowering ways - as daily affirmations for families to theme songs for organizations & events, as support material for teachers & life coaches to creating pinnacle moments for thousands at conscious conferences & spiritual centers around the world.
