Louie Giglio - Speaker, Thinker, Author, Producer

Giglio graduated from Georgia State University then earned a master of divinity from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas. After finishing seminary, Giglio and his wife Shelley began a weekly Bible study called Choice at Baylor University. After several years, over 10% of the student body was attending the weekly study.

In 1995, the Giglios moved from Waco, Texas to Atlanta, Georgia. While flying from Texas to Georgia, Giglio began to plan for a national gathering of Christian college students; this evolved into the Passion conferences. Several months after the move, the Passion organization was formed. Also, Giglio, along with Bill Willits from North Point Community Church, began a Bible study for college students from the Atlanta area called 7:22; Giglio lead this Bible study weekly until 2005.

In January 1997, Passion hosted its first conference for college students which lasted four days in Austin, Texas. Two thousand people attended. This launched Passion to the public, and it has been followed by conferences and tours yearly. In 2000, Giglio and others formed Sixsteps Records. Sixsteps is the record label for Christian worship artists David Crowder Band, Chris Tomlin, Matt Redman, and Charlie Hall (who have all remained a part of the Passion ministry). Sixsteps also releases live albums from the Passion conferences. Giglio leads the record label.
