Born in 1914 in Dawson, Texas, Lester Roloff was an Independent Baptist preacher. Often in his sermons he sang hymns which can move a grown man to tears. In the same sermon he can tell a joke which could make the Grinch himself laugh. Most importantly, his preaching contains sound doctrine delivered in plain English. He began a radio program called The Family Altar, which would broadcast recordings of his sermons. He preached doctrines lost to America's pulpits now: healthy living, fasting, living by faith, family Bible reading and prayer, while also preaching against television, psychiatry, and medications.

Born in 1926 in Italy, Texas, Jack Hyles was an Independent Baptist preacher. He pastored First Baptist Church of Hammond in Hammond, Indiana from 1959 until his death in 2001. He founded Hyles–Anderson College, a Bible college in Indiana. He was a great defender of the King James Bible and was famous for his loud preaching style, which may have earned him the world record for "the longest amount of time yelling."
