What Church Leaders are Saying

Zach was a huge blessing to our annual conference! The energy, relatability, and seemingly simple message of the Gospel was second to none. The attendees all had great things to say about the Red Letter Challenge, many of whom have used Zach’s materials before, and were excited to hear him speak. In fact, we would consider having him back to speak on other areas of discipleship, too. He was that engaging!”
