Born and raised in the Dallas Fort Worth area, Senior Pastor Cedric White has dedicated his life to the success of today’s family and helping heal the hearts of those hurt by misguided relationships. Through teaching God’s word as a minister, trainer, educator, and pastor, Cedric has helped transform lives and builds disciples. Disciples that have developed personal relationships with God. Cedric is known for saying “It’s about relationship…not religion.” That quote was born out of his work as a relationship counselor and is being manifested in his pastoral calling today at Heart Fellowship in Prosper, Texas. Cedric began his 30+ years in ministry as a youth pastor for many years and then became the associate pastor at Koinonia Full Gospel Pentecostal Church in Dallas. Cedric is a graduate of the Southern Bible Institute of Dallas, Texas, Christian Ministry Training Institute of Covenant Church in Carrollton, TX and a Board-Certified Belief Therapist of the Therapon Belief Counseling and Therapy Foundation. His speaking style is described as engaging, biblical, transparent, humorous yet practical. He is known to say, “I don’t believe in speaking just to be heard, if something I share can’t be applied to your life to affect positive change, I’ve wasted your time.” In addition to pastoring Heart Fellowship, Cedric and his wife Michelle own and operate Healing Thine Hearts Ministries, a Christian based counseling ministry for couples and families. Through this platform, Cedric has become a published author (4Ts For Your Heart), regularly speaks at conferences and retreats and facilitates workshops on topics regarding the heart, family, and relationships. Cedric and Michelle have a blended family with 3 children, Crystal, Cedric II, and Derick and 5 grandchildren.

Chad Robichaux is a champion MMA Champion Fighter, a former police officer, and a Force Recon Marine veteran who served eight deployments to Afghanistan. Despite his extensive training and personal achievements, including a black belt in jiu-jitsu and success in the military and fighting cage, Chad nearly became a suicide statistic as a result of PTSD, depression, and a broken marriage. Chad experienced significant trauma at a young age. His father, a Vietnam Marine veteran, was abusive, and Chad’s older brother was tragically murdered. When Chad was seventeen years old, he joined the Force Recon Marines and deployed to Afghanistan. After witnessing the injustice inflicted upon countless innocent people, Chad became filled with hate, rage, and bitterness. Between deployments, Chad became a winning MMA fighter but continued to struggle with PTSD. In 1995, he married his wife, Kathy, and started a family. Chad later became a New Orleans police officer, and he and Kathy began to attend church. Despite counseling and medication, Chad’s anxiety and depression became so intense that he left his family. One night, on the verge of suicide, God intervened when Kathy visited Chad and pleaded with him. Realizing he was at rock-bottom, Chad recommitted his life to God and reconciled his marriage.
