Interview with Hall of Fame Speaker Chris Widener on Confidence, Calling, and Leadership
What happens when one of the world’s most celebrated motivational speakers turns his focus from stages to spiritual revival? In this powerful episode of GRASP Confidence, I sit down with the iconic Chris Widener—a man who has not only spoken to millions across the globe but has now answered a deeper calling.
Chris has delivered over 2,500 speeches worldwide and is the author of 25 books translated into 14 languages, with accolades including:
Top 50 Speakers in the World
Motivational Speakers Hall of Fame inductee
Top 10 Sales Speakers (SUCCESS Magazine)
Top 100 Leadership Speakers (Inc. Magazine)
Top 20 Sales Speakers in the World (Global Gurus, 2025)
More than a prolific communicator, Chris has been personally mentored by legends like Zig Ziglar, Jim Rohn, and John Maxwell, and his impact continues to echo in both business and faith-based circles. But what truly sets this conversation apart is his recent transformation—from corporate inspiration to spiritual reformation.
We talk about his new 501(c)(3), Chris Widener Ministries, and the heart behind his latest book, The Coming American Revival, endorsed by leaders across politics, entertainment, and faith. Chris shares how God redirected his platform toward deeper purpose, how confidence shifts when it’s rooted in calling, and why now—more than ever—we need courageous, faith-filled leadership. This is a conversation about legacy, alignment, and the revival stirring in our nation and hearts alike.
