Who is Chris Lambert?

I didn’t begin life with any intentions of becoming a social entrepreneur. While “studying” marketing (more so partying) at Indiana University, I was preparing for law school and a lucrative career in real estate development. But a radical spiritual awakening while living in Australia during my junior year set me on a different path—one that led to founding three nonprofit organizations. I decided to pursue an MDiv and doctorate in preaching at Fuller and Gordon-Conwell seminaries. I also spent seven months in West Africa, where my wife and I helped a village drill a well, acquire farm animals, and build their first school.

In 2007, I planted a church. In 2010 I launched Life Remodeled, which repurposes vacant schools into one-stop hubs of opportunity. In 2014, I began creating the Next Level Nonprofit organizational operating system. However, it’s the journey ahead—and the people who are leading the way—that excites me most. Delivering keynotes and workshops that engage, inspire, and inform isn’t a job for me… it’s my passion!
