  • A much needed voice

    Thank you, Trevin, and NAMB for such a thoughtful and motivating resource. I’m constantly finding myself both encouraged and concerned because of the insights shared. Trevin and his team are thoroughly orthodox and cutting edge in the approach to equipping leaders to engage our current culture with timeless truth. Thanks again. Well done.
