Author | Vice President for External and Government Relations - Focus on the Family in Washington DC
Tim is the Vice President for External and Government Relations at Focus on the Family in Washington DC. He served in high-level government posts for two decades. He worked as Special Assistant to President George W. Bush, where he was the Deputy Director of the White House Office of Public Liaison from 2001 to 2008. He was the President’s principal outreach contact for conservatives, think tanks, veteran’s groups, faith-based groups, and some of America’s leading cultural organizations. He was a member of the President’s original 2000 campaign and White House staff, serving for nearly 8 years. Also, he has served as a senior fellow at The Heritage Foundation and a professor of government at Liberty University.
From 1988 through 1998, Tim was the Deputy Press Secretary, and then Press Secretary and Communications Director, for U.S. Senator Dan Coats of Indiana (who was in the Senate for a decade). Between his time with the Senate and Bush campaign, Tim served as Communications Director for Gary Bauer in his presidential bid.
Goeglein is author of many books and he holds Honorary Doctorate degrees from Concordia University, New York City; and from Faith Evangelical College and Seminary, Tacoma, Washington.

What Really Matters: Restoring a Legacy of Faith, Freedom, and Family
For three decades, Tim Goeglein has served in the highest echelons of United States government and Christian ministries. From those positions, he has obtained a unique perspective on numerous issues that presently confront our nation: the breakdown of marriage and family, the decline of American education, attacks on faith, increased political polarization, and how all of these factors have placed in the current national peril in which we find ourselves. Over the past several years, Tim has been sharing this perspective in numerous media outlets such as The Federalist, Daily Signal, Epoch Times, among others. This book is a compendium of those columns.
J.P. De Gance
Author | Founder and President - Communio
J.P. De Gance is the founder and president of Communio and the co-author of “Endgame: The Church’s Strategic Move to Save Faith and Family in America.”
De Gance leads Communio’s work equipping pastors with a long-term, data-informed strategy to deepen and broaden engagement in their congregations, using relational health as the engine for church health and spiritual impact.
Before launching Communio nationally, De Gance led a three-year, $20 million experimental initiative across three states to test what moves the needle on marital health, family stability and church engagement. Working with an ecumenical network of churches in Jacksonville, FL, that effort helped drive down the local divorce rate by 24% between 2016 and 2018. Today, Communio applies those proven learnings as it partners with churches across the country to build out Full-Circle Relationship Ministry®, uniting Gospel-centered content, practical relationship support and targeted outreach to singles and couples inside and outside the church.
Under his leadership, Communio has also commissioned major national research on the hidden drivers behind the decline of Christianity in America, highlighting the collapse of marriage and resident fatherhood as a central factor. That work, along with Communio’s innovative, data-driven support for churches—including a groundbreaking collaboration with Hampton University—helped earn the ministry the Heritage Foundation’s Innovation Prize in 2023.
A husband and father, De Gance lives in Virginia with his wife and their eight children.

Endgame: The Church's Strategic Move to Save Faith and Family in America
The family crisis in America has battered society and reduced belief in Jesus Christ. So far, the Church has struggled to address it, threatening the very future of Christianity. Aided by the Spirit, believer must use their whole heart, soul, and mind to use the very best strategies to combat it. Endgame recognizes that time is running out to solve the crisis. It analyses pathbreaking empirical research and provides insights on new strategies churches are deploying to solve this crisis and save family and faith in America. “Endgame is the marriage and family manifesto the church needs to heed. Van Epp and De Gance offer proven strategies and practical skills for seasoned ministry leaders as well as those just getting started. I had many “Ah-ha” moments while reading this book.” Ted Cunningham Pastor, Woodland Hills Family Church, Branson, MO Author, Fun Loving You "Endgame is a book for anyone serious about evangelization and sharing the Gospel. J.P. De Gance and John Van Epp identify arguably the biggest 21st century barrier to faith in Jesus. They also provide a set of real solutions and strategies for churches and Christians to begin breaking down this barrier." Craig Springer Executive Director of Alpha USA "Endgame is the book that every bishop, priest and lay family minister needs to read. This book is for all those overwhelmed by the “bad news” about marriage and family life in America. Endgame provides a way forward that completely sidesteps political divisions and the culture wars." Helen Alvare Member of the Vatican’s Dicastery for Laity, Family, and Life Professor of Law at George Mason University and legal scholar on the Family
