WHAT HE THINKS
“God is doing incredible things in Revoice Local Chapters, Online Community Groups, and Care Ministries. I am beyond thrilled to support the faithful leaders discipling and caring for our people in these spaces. My favorite few days of the year are during our Conference, but the heart and soul of Revoice is what’s happening every day across the country and increasingly around the world. As this movement grows, I am grateful and humbled to join the Revoice Team!”—STEVEN
