Kristen Waggoner
As the CEO, president, and general counsel of Alliance Defending Freedom, Kristen Waggoner leads the faith-based organization in advancing every person’s God-given right to live and speak the truth in the U.S. and around the world. She oversees more than 450 ADF team members in 10 global offices.
Since 2011, ADF has won 15 cases at the U.S. Supreme Court, three of which were argued by Waggoner: Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, Uzuebgunam v. Presczewski, and 303 Creative v. Elenis. ADF also has a strong record of international success at the European Court of Human Rights, United Nations, and other leading courts and tribunals and has secured the release of more than 1,000 imprisoned Christians.
After clerking with Washington Supreme Court Justice Richard B. Sanders, Waggoner practiced law for over 16 years at a Seattle firm before joining ADF in 2013. She is Peer Review Rated AV® Preeminent™ in Martindale-Hubbell. Waggoner is a sought-after public speaker who often appears in national and international media outlets.
Rev. Linda A. Seiler, PhD
For decades, Linda felt like a man trapped in a female body and was exclusively attracted to women. Today, she is content in a female body and wholly attracted to men, offering a unique, compassionate perspective as one who has struggled with her own sexuality and gender identity. An ordained Assemblies of God minister, Linda led a team to pioneer Chi Alpha (XA) at Purdue University in 2007 and served as the XA director until 2020, when she stepped into a new role as a National Chi Alpha Field Specialist, training campus missionaries and student leaders in matters of applied theology and culture. Linda also serves as the executive director of ReStory Ministries, established to equip churches to address LGBTQ. Linda earned a PhD in Intercultural Studies from the Assemblies of God Theological Seminary with her dissertation consisting of 30 case studies of men and women who were once same-sex-attracted and have experienced transformation. Dr. Seiler’s newly-published book TRANS-Formation highlights her dissertation research and personal journey to equip leaders how to respond to LGBTQ from a Pentecostal perspective. Linda is an avid golfer, dark chocolate lover, and cat mom to feline Facebook sensations Bo and Tabby.
