Concorde travelled at twice the speed of sound-some would say that Graham Lacey did the same. Graham relentlessly pushed the limits, until he went too far...and he got a phone call which changed his life forever. In his new book, Take My Life, Graham Lacey shares his very personal story of how God saved him from himself and gave him peace of mind-a peace that is available to us all. Having read the manuscript, his life-long friend Dr. R.T. Kendall remarked, "I could not put this book down and I don't think you will want to either."

Born in England in 1948, he commenced business on his own account at age fifteen. He has served on the boards of twenty seven publicly listed companies in five countries. Dr. Lacey has now dedicated himself to activities that have eternal spiritual dimension.

Dr. Lacey was the executive producer of the award-winning “A Worldwide Christmas Celebration” and is the executive producer of “The Millennium Chorus”. He produced a television special on Mother Theresa. He also compiled the book entitled, My Favorite Hymn.

A confidant of many leading evangelist and lay preacher alike, he has been and active enabler for the cause of Christ in numerous countries around the world. Lacey holds an honorary Doctorate in International Law, which was conferred on him in 1986.

Dr. Lacey is married to Susan, and they have two sons – Luke and James. They reside in the Isle of Man in the British Isles.

“In my lifetime, I have met leaders from every area: politics, military, religion, sports, business, and the arts. Graham Lacey is the giant essential leader. No one individual has made the impact on my life and vision as has my dear friend Graham Lacey. I have learned more from him than any other man. He has done more than anyone else to make SLU 301, London a reality.” — Dr. Jay Strack

Robby has served as Long Hollow’s Senior Pastor since 2015. He wasn’t always a pastor, though.

For three years, he battled a drug addiction that ravaged his life. A $ 180-a-day heroin and cocaine addiction forced him to steal $15,000 from his parents. After living without gas, electricity, and water for months, losing 8 of his friends to drug-related deaths, watching 6 friends arrested, and completing two rehab treatments, Robby remembered the gospel that was shared with him by a friend in college and was radically saved on November 12, 2002.

Eight months later, David Platt, a seminary student and church member at the time, asked Robby to meet weekly for accountability, prayer, and bible study. For the next 2 years, David installed a passion for missions, expository preaching, and disciple-making in his life. He also encouraged Robby to go back to school to pursue theological education.

Robby completed his Masters of Divinity Degree in Expository Preaching in 2007 and his Ph.D. in Preaching in 2011 from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. Today, Robby’s gospel conviction and evangelistic zeal drive him to passionately “make disciples who make disciples.”

In addition to his leadership at Long Hollow, Robby is also the founder of Replicate Ministries and the author of several books, including Growing Up, Firmly Planted, and Rediscovering Discipleship.

Robby and his beautiful wife, Kandi, have two young sons: Rig and Ryder.

Most leaders live with UNHOLY HURRY.

Jesus modeled grace-paced leadership. To learn from him, we begin not with leading but with following.”
