Recently Vaughn Street was asked to produce an interactive media curriculum for best selling author Joyce Meyer's recent book, The Love Revolution, which was released at the JMM annual women's conference in St. Louis. The project features contributions from world-renowned guests John Maxwell, Martin Smith (Delirious?), Darlene Zschech (Hillsongs), and others.

As a follow up, Holt Vaughn asked Joyce and her son, CEO Danny Meyer, to discuss their heart behind this latest project.
