Our Team
Jeremy Lamont, CEO
Jeremy has dedicated his career to serving people. In the special events industry, he produced thousands of engagements ranging from conferences to original stadium shows with a single focus on audience response. The content Jeremy created caused him to be hired by clients ranging from Qualcomm to Morgan Stanley and even the late U.S. President George H.W. Bush called Jeremy's work, "Great entertainment!" For decades, Jeremy has utilized technology to move large audiences.
As the founder and CEO of Godspeed magazine, Jeremy was blessed to hire and then serve alongside TIME magazine's David Aikman to build a digital publication completely focused on God in action. Jeremy's interviews with Ben Carson, Franklin Graham, Alveda King, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and others provoked invitations into the Israel Embassy and White House in Washington D.C. God used these experiences to show Jeremy the need for a global unity movement in the body of Christ and the result was Lifeverse.
Stu Fuhlendorf, CFO
Stu Fuhlendorf has broad financial and operational experience that spans finance, technology, human resources, manufacturing, and international operations for private and public technology companies.

As vice president of Lincoln Partners, a leading Chicagobased investment bank, Stu led merger and acquisition initiatives for electronic and technology companies. When God called Stu to be His instrument, Stu dedicated years in Christian ministry as Sr. Pastor and Elder of churches.

Joseph Good, Historian
Joseph Good has pioneered the awakening of the Christian faith to its Hebraic foundations in the history and stories of the Hebrew Bible since the 1980’s. His consequent ongoing research into the Temple of Jerusalem is highly respected and he has been honored to present his findings to the prestigious Temple Institute of Jerusalem, for which he consulted and contributed to their in depth research for many years. He continues this day to lead groups on scholarly tours to the Holy Land.
Joe and his wife Debbie are the founders of Hatikva.org, a teaching ministry, as well as Jerusalemtemplestudy.com, which serves the purpose of educating people about the Temple itself and Temple-related context of Scripture. Good travels the country to teach and is frequently found on the Trinity Broadcast Network, Christian radio programs, and he continues to write and spread the good news through his teachings and numerous books and articles.
Good’s most recent work is "Measure the Pattern, Vol. I," which includes color illustrations, maps, sketches and decade’s worth of research about the Temple. Additional books between Good and his wife, and sometimes in collaboration are "Prophecies in the Book of Esther," "Discovering the Locations of the Temple Complex," "A Concise Guide to the Mishnah and the Tosefta: An Exploration of Jewish Oral Law," and "Rosh HaShanah and the Messianic Kingdom to Come."
Leen Ritmeyer, Archaeologist
Leen has served as conservator or architect at dozens of excavations in Israel “from Dan to Beersheva,” including sites as prominent as Arad, Bet Shean, Ashdod, and Banias.

Other Jerusalem projects included the Byzantine Cardo and the Herodian/Roman villas.
While responsible for numerous publications, his opus magnum was The Quest (2006). This comprehensive history of the Temple Mount has become standard required reading for all archaeologists and archaeological students.
