"The collective wisdom of these fathers, in the warm atmosphere of a fireside chat is a winning combination. Enter into the conversation at your leisure and when you leave, you'll have heard the wisdom and heart of God. Conversations with Fathers of the Faith has my highest recommendation for every current and future Christian leader."

“Conversations with Fathers of the Faith provides perhaps a once in a life time opportunity to sit at the feet of six of today’s most influential spiritual leaders. Their candor, vulnerability and humility are amazing. These men not only open their lives but the depths of their souls in ways not often seen. This DVD series is a life time treasure and is a must for every leader regardless of their years of experience or field of expertise.”

“Every leader in their 30’s – my generation – needs to see this and hear the voice of their ‘fathers’ speaking wisdom. There are many fatherless leaders – spiritual leaders – who don’t have the relationship to go to spiritual dads and ask, ‘what would you do in my position– what pearls of wisdom would you give me for my family, my marriage, for ministry?’ We find it here in Conversations with Fathers of the Faith.”

Anthony Chaboya
Lead Pastor, Bethany Congregational Church

“We are all to grow in our knowledge and love for Christ.  This happens because godly patriarchs contend for and take time to pass on the faith once delivered (Jude v.3). Conversations with Fathers of the Faith is an opportunity to pull up a chair and warm your life by the fire that burns for Christ Jesus in the hearts of these men who have given their lives to the advancement of the Kingdom of God and to its King. I believe it will provide essential fuel for leadership to kindle afresh mission, ministry and revival.  It is an opportunity not to be missed. “

The Rev. Jon Davis
Vicar, Church of the Incarnation

“The life lessons imparted by these fathers of the faith have made a profound impact upon members of my congregation.  There is a renewed zeal to accomplish the purposes of God in our generation.  I highly recommend Conversations with Fathers of the Faith.”

"I had the privilege of being a part of the live recording of this DVD, and I am still unraveling the profound insights that I tried to capture real time in my journal.  Now that I have the Conversations with Fathers of the Faith DVD and journal in hand, I can go back and push pause...which for me, is priceless.  This conversation is so rich, every leader in my generation needs to hear and see what these fathers shared.  I know that I will invite every leader within my influence to join me for this conversation.”

Kent Chevalier
Pastor, North Way Christian Community

“The apostle Paul wrote, ‘for though you might have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet you don't have many fathers." Conversations with Fathers of the Faith is a treasure chest, in that it is a recording of true, proven, spiritual fathers who are transparent about their personal walk with the Lord, their mistakes they've made along the way, and the transformation they've experienced as a result. It is a must for any pastor/leader as it brings a ‘father's perspective’ to those of us in church leadership and points to ‘heart matters’ that no one really talks about. I would highly recommend that you get this series!”

Jeff Dollar- Pastor, Grace Center - Franklin, TN

“’The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom.’ (Prov. 10:21) The biggest mistakes I NEVER made were those I avoided by heeding the wisdom of those journeying ahead of me.  Wisdom cannot be gained merely through time but must be tested in time.  Therefore the wisdom of our elders is beyond price. Sir Isaac Newton once said, ‘If I have been able to see farther than others, it was because I stood on the shoulders of giants.’ Conversations with Fathers of the Faith represents some of those shoulders.”

Doug Buron

“I was blessed to able to bring our church leadership team to The Cove for the taping of Conversations with Fathers of the Faith. Our time together listening to these Church fathers was an important time for us as a new Church plant. What an opportunity to hear the hearts of these men who have faithfully served God for so many years!”

“As someone who has the privilege of overseeing  1,100 churches and almost 3,500 leaders, as I watched Conversations with Fathers of the Faith I was wishing that everyone of our leaders – especially our younger leaders – would know the impact of these men sharing their journeys and the principles they brought out – especially their godly character. I would love every leader, male and female, within our fellowship of churches to be impacted in the same way and to know what really matters in leadership.”

Dave Wells

"The level of unity and genuine honor shared so candidly among these diverse leaders in Conversations with Fathers of the Faith is profound. What a powerful tool to inspire and motivate ministry leadership teams. Because of this wonderful project, these fathers have been uniquely positioned to thrust the present day church forward to fulfill the John 17 prayer of Christ."

“This is an investment of spiritual legacy for generations to come. This is something that many of us dream of and long for but don’t have the opportunity to get – to receive collective insight and wisdom from some of the top leaders in the Body of Christ. Emerging leaders – especially those 18-25 years of age who are setting the course of your lives – this is the DVD and mentoring opportunity for you. Those looking for leadership wisdom and fatherly insight this is your opportunity – you shouldn’t look any further than Conversations with Fathers of the Faith!”

 “We want authenticity and we found it in Conversations with Fathers of the Faith. We see such transparency, humility and integrity in these “fathers.” These are the kind of leaders we want to be, and these are the kinds of leader we want to be raising up. This kind of leader WILL impact the world!”

 “The ‘fathers of the faith’ are not just voices from church past; they are prophets for church future, if today's church will but listen. Their timeless collective wisdom is a timely gift as the church endeavors to navigate, interface, and influence our shifting, searching 21st century culture. I highly recommend Conversations with Fathers of the Faithfor every leader who desires to missionally shape church next, yet recognizes the crucial need to do so anchored to lessons learned and insight gained from these fathers of the faith.”

“It was overwhelming for me to experience this – I felt like I was standing under a waterfall with my mouth open! Seeing Jesus in their eyes, these ‘fathers’ who have walked with Jesus through the hard things and the great things, and to hear them share their hearts and experiences, and be so transparent – I was deeply impacted. My husband leaned over to me while we were listening to Conversations with Fathers of the Faith and said, ‘every leader in every church needs to listen to this’ – I agree!”

Phyllis Rogers

“Conversations with Fathers of the Faith addresses a longing in the hearts of many to learn from those who have been faithful over the long haul.   These men possess an accumulation of life experiences and encounters, shaped by intimate friendship with Father God; in simple yet profound ways, understanding is communicated with passion, conviction and humility.  Their obvious familiarity with God and His ways -- tinged with the awe of His Presence -- ignites hope and inspires the desire to walk with Him in the manner of such honorable men.”

 “Conversations with Fathers of the Faith is an inspiring treasure of wisdom from those who have lived life well.  The lessons learned are from real life experience.  I loved the honesty, the humility and the mutual honor and respect that these men gave one to another.  Each of them is a giant in the Christian world today and yet they are real and vulnerable about their struggles and failures.  It is a rich experience to soak in the extraordinary wisdom from ordinary men who have lived their lives seeking the ways of God in all that they pursued.  I would recommend investing in this DVD series for your church or ministry.  It is a resource that will never go out of date.”

Cindi Whitman

“How many times do you wish you could sit down with some seasoned, mature fathers in the faith and glean from their stories, their wisdom and life experiences? Those of us who witnessed these extraordinary sessions will never forget the honesty, grace and humor with which these marvelous, yet very human men of God shared with each other. It was like being allowed to stay up late and listen to Papa and his friends recount adventures – something of the Spirit of God in these brothers became a part of us too!  Don't miss Conversations with Fathers of the Faith."

“Conversations with Fathers of the Faith has impacted my life as it has changed my perspective of leadership and has encouraged me to keep fulfilling God’s call on my life. My favorite part of the series was watching these ‘fathers’ interact with one another – enjoying their sense of humor and seeing them love and honor each other. I would like to share this with leaders in Mexico!”
