Brian and Lori Tanner
Brian Tanner is a Commercial Astronaut and Engineer who has been involved in the U.S. space program since 2008. A former F-14 test pilot for 18 years and now Founder and Director of the Spaceport Exploration Center in Indiana, Brian and Lori's mission together has been to help people from all walks of life understand the beauty and grace that Jesus Christ has given us through our own personal journey and exploring the planet we live on. Science and faith worked together for hundreds of years until the age of Darwin skewed the view of science away from a creation and faith based pursuit. Brian has been awarded the NASA Top Star Award, Techpoint's MIRA Award (3 years), Jr. Achievement Best & Brightest and many others. Brian and Lori have spoken many times about the need to re-unite human kind in the sciences and work together with Christian groups and professionals to explore God's amazing creation, and find a common ground for future exploration. Even more important is to kick start all Christians to stand up not as a minority, but as the majority we are in the United States and retake the lead in moving people to Christ and making sure our country keeps Christianity in our schools, our families and our exploration journey.
Lori Tanner has a remarkable background working with young people in a challenging environment. Lori was the Warden at a juvenile correctional facility within the Indiana Department of Correction for a decade. A champion for children in at-risk environments who ended up in the justice system. During her time as Warden she brought a number of Christian programs to the facility including Kairos Ministry. Her passion to create a positive faith focused journey for students was a priority throughout her career. She was awarded the State of Indiana Employee of the Year award in 2005, The Governor's Meritorious Service Award in 2011 and has numerous other awards and recognition. Lori was selected for the Warden Exchange Program hosted by Fellowship Prison ministries. She also serves as Program Director for Spaceport Exploration Center and is creating the Lori G Tanner Center for Youth Development.

Whether it is Brian's time in the edge of space and high altitude jumps from 80,000+ feet or Lori's incredible stories of life changing events for young people who were on the wrong path and found God's purpose for their life, you will leave passionate about change and ready to put on your Armor of God and begin your own inspired journey. Ephesians 6:10-13
