Thumb I have booked Spencer multiple times to speak at our summer and winter camps. He has been our most requested speaker by both students and their adult leaders. He consistently challenges students and his messages are not soon forgotten. Spencer speaks from the heart but makes sure to tie everything he says and thinks to what Jesus said and did. He has gone from speaker I book to close friend. If you want your audience (and yourself) to be pushed to follow Jesus in day to day practical ways, then you won't go wrong with booking Spencer.

Bio

Jimmy Spencer Jr is just a good guy trying to change the world, and himself, one act of love at a time. He's the Founder and CEO of Love Without Agenda. LWA is building a free platform to be used by millions of people to accomplish a common good in the field of social innovation, just as Craigslist, Amazon and Facebook did for their respective fields of classifieds, retail, and relationships. He's quickly becoming a rising star in advising businesses who build socially responsible companies and attract socially responsible consumers.

But, it's in front of people where Spencer shines brightest.

**Spencer's voice is reminding society that every single human has inherent and irrevocable value, and that the process of serving others without agenda, changes us, as we work to change the world.

A transparent and passionate motivator, he's beloved for his stories, humor and thought provoking style. He champions loving others without agenda in schools and universities. He's a frequent and passionate ally to the spiritually curious and astir across the United States. He recently completed his first book Love Without Agenda: My Journey Out of Consumer Christianity. He is uniquely positioned as the Founder of LWA to both emotionally inspire and tangibly equip his audience once their motivated to serve their neighborhood.

He's perpetually single, traveling and consumed by his work. He's a former University of Missouri athlete. He likes to eat out and walks along Lake Michigan as a refuge from stress. He's a Progressive Christian. A fan of Cash, Kanye and The Killers. But most of all, he loves to equip people who work hard to build a better future.

Thumb I have heard Jimmy Spencer speak on several occasions, and I am always amazed at his ability to draw people in. Shades of Autumn was no exception. There were people in the audience from all walks of life, and Jimmy brought them all together through the gift of storytelling. He takes a common life experience and turns it on it's head so we can look at it from a different perspective. When Jimmy speaks, I sit on the edge of my seat wondering where he is going to take me. But it's always to a good place that challenges me, and makes me smile at the same time.

Thumb Jimmy is an incredibly dynamic and passionate speaker. Paired with his enormous heart for others and raw authenticity, he delivers a message that awakens our inner “Do Gooder”. Jimmy engages the audience with an excellent mixture of personal stories, thought provoking questions and random humor that keeps the audience engaged and challenged. Above all else, Jimmy is not just another speaker who can “talk the talk”. Jimmy is a speaker who walks the walk.

Thumb Jimmy Spencer is engaging and motivating. He has a way of challenging those listening to step up, realize their potential, and use it to change the world around them. Jimmy's spirited message of making our world a better place - with one act of love at a time - comes through with passion when he speaks. Jimmy does not just bring a word - he lives it - and I'm certain this message is exactly what our world needs to hear NOW.

Thumb Like an artist at work, Jimmy brings a natural gift and creative ability to public speaking. He engages the audience as his canvas, painting in detailed words that may often perplex at first hearing, but come together in the end to portray a whole picture that beautifies the message he was placed in this world to share. In not only delivering an inspiring message, he challenges the mental paradigm of monotony and social acceptance with a wholly inclusive and embracing perspective.

Thumb Jimmy's genuine passion and character are clearly evident in the way he delivers raw truth. He's not afraid to pad anything, but not because he's harsh. Rather, Jimmy's convicted to share what he knows so firmly because he has a deep sense of compassion and love for people, and they need the words he's been blessed with. Jimmy speaks with no regrets, but in a way that is overflowing with compassion and heart. In his own words, Jimmy's message is "simple but not easy," and he honors that tension delicately and courageously.

Thumb Jimmy has spoken to our Jr and Sr high students of RVCF church at summer camps. He shares his passion for Christ and his passion to serve. True love without any agenda. Our students were challenged to move in the area of service to community. I would highly recommend Jimmy and look forward to seeing and hearing him again share what God has placed upon his heart.

Thumb Spencer has an amazing transperancy. When he speaks, there are no social ranks. His honesty and passion can be heard in the timbre of his voice, when he communicates that which he is passionate about... Which is pretty much every single word that he speaks

Heather Cope · Lifequest Organic Network of Churches
Thumb Spencer does a great job communicating to people. Starting off with the foundation of just being a likeable guy, he moves on to speaking truth, challenging complacency, and asking people to come along on a journey with him in a very sincere way. Good stuff all around.

Thumb I first brought a group of students to hear him,the kids who were in the back of the room and did not want to be inspired, were. Everyone wants to go to hear him again and return, with their parents and friends. Spencer speaks with passion and purpose, profound thought mixed in simple story and funnyness. He is transparent and real.Not boring for sure.!

Thumb I've heard Jimmy speak at several events over the past few years... he is an extraordinarily passionate speaker and connects well with his audience. He has definitely inspired me and helped me to grow as a student, and as a human being. He tells great stories with messages that I will never forget.

Thumb Jimmy connects well with an audience because he lays his heart on the line whenever he speaks. He comes from a background of faith and that faith compels him to authenticity care about people out of and a genuine heart. He speaks powerfully on stage—at times he's totally random—but always brings heart and boldness to whatever he is communicating. A very important thinker/speaker for today.
