BIBLICAL AUTHORITY

I finally had Brad Melton come present ‘What is the Bible and Why Does it Matter?’ to The Summit Church family, and my only thought was, ‘Why did I wait so long?’ His information was clear, concise and could not be more relevant today with the current decline of the Biblical worldview. The response from my congregation was great. I look forward to having Brad come back and present his other seminars to The Summit Church next year."
— Eric Woods, pastor, The Summit Church; Chino Valley, AZ

Southern Baptists believe that God’s Word is inerrant, but do they really know why? We also believe that God’s Word is authoritative, but do we really know what are the ramifications of this belief? If God’s people really want to see the details of God’s Word and why it truly matters, then ‘What is the Bible and Why Does it Matter?’ is the way to go. This is definitely not a seminar for wimpy Christians. "
— Jim Masters, pastor, FSBC; Cottonwood, AZ

Brad’s presentation, ‘What is the Bible and Why Does it Matter?,’ was excellent and well received…. [It] was comprehensive in nature and would have taken a month to present in sermon form had I attempted to do it. This is a presentation that all believers need in a day when the authority of Scripture is suspect at best."
— Mark Reeder, pastor, FSBC; Chino Valley, AZ

Brad’s seminar, ‘What is the Bible and Why Does it Matter?,’ was right on target. In a culture where our Bible is constantly attacked, suspected, sidelined, and twisted by false teachers and critics alike, Brad’s information is a must for every Christian."
— Fred Harris, pastor, FSBC; Winslow, AZ

FAMILY MINISTRY

Brad’s seminar, ‘Home-Grown Disciples,’ is the best I have seen at presenting a biblical model for helping parents ‘to train up their children in the way they should go."
— Rick Butterworth, pastor, FSBC; Overgaard, AZ

In ‘Home-Grown Disciples,’ the personal vignettes and anecdotes Brad shared with us regarding methods he and his wife have employed in the discipleship of their own children were quite effective and lent a high level of credibility and authenticity to his teaching."
— Harold Boldin, pastor, Clarkdale Baptist Church; Clarkdale, AZ

Thought provoking was my first reaction to attending Brad Melton’s ‘Home-Grown Disciples’ seminar. My second thought was to remember the passage in Judges 2:10 that reads, ‘After that whole generation had been gathered to their fathers, another generation grew up, who knew neither the Lord nor what He had done for Israel.’ If Brad’s research is correct then our generation is similar to that generation found in Judges. Brad’s seminar will not only open your eyes to the danger to where we as a culture are, but he also challenges parents to renew themselves to discipling their children."
— Dr. Jesse Liles, pastor, Willow Hills Baptist Church; Prescott, AZ

The parents (and grandparents) attending found the ‘Home-Grown Disciples’ to be very clear, practical, and helpful.  No untested theories or high sounding advice, but rather clear and concise tools to help in raising children God’s way.  I can readily recommend Brad and this seminar."

MORMONISM

During my 20+ years of ministry among those of the LDS faith I heard and met many who wanted to address its tenets. Most did so with inadequate information or with an angry spirit that undermined their purpose. Brad’s approach is authoritative while expressing great concern for the individual who is trapped in falsehood. His methods are exactly the same as those that allowed me to see hundreds of LDS people come to Christ during my tenure as a Southern Baptist pastor in Utah and Idaho, and as the Evangelism Director of the Utah-Idaho Southern Baptist Convention. Listen and learn!"
— Herb Stoneman, former Evangelism Director, Utah-Idaho Southern Baptist Convention (currently pastor of FSBC; Prescott Valley, AZ)

Having seen many LDS presentations, I assure you that none of them can hold a candle to the accuracy and the content that Brad Melton brings to his presentation. He obviously has spent a great deal of time to put together a thoughtful, truthful, and well-executed workshop that reveals much of the workings and history of the LDS church. This is an evangelical ministry with wide acceptance and praise in the interdenominational Christian Community.  Brad is respectful of LDS in all aspects. This is not a ‘Mormon bashing,’ but a candid and biblically-based session that clearly delineates the divisions and discrepancies we have between the ‘counterfeit’ and the ‘canon."
— Larry Monteverde, pastor (former Mormon), Christ’s Church of Flagstaff; Flagstaff, AZ

I have studied cults and have read countless books on cults, but your presentation really opened my eyes on how to really be a witness to our Mormon friends and neighbors. Thank you for the compassion you have for those who are caught in Mormonism. As you share one can see the love you have for these dear people. I appreciate the fact that you do not put them down or make fun of them, but you have a genuine love and desire that they come to know the real Truth."
— Matt Gaston, Director of Evangelism and Missions, Desert Pines Baptist Assoc.; Snowflake, AZ

Brad Melton has a passion for reaching the marginalized and wounded LDS souls that are looking for a way out. After making that difficult journey himself, he is in the perfect position to help churches bridge the gap. His seminar has helped to practically equip our church in loving, caring, and reaching out to the Mormon seeker who is truly looking for God. I would recommend it to any church, any place, any time."
— Dave Arden, pastor, River Community Fellowship; Cottonwood, AZ

Brad presented his heart and compassion concerning Mormonism and his personal experiences to over 40 University of Arizona Christian Challenge students. Students were moved and inspired to consider how they pray and respond to those who identify with Mormonism at the U of A campus. Students said that the apologetical training will only help them…. Brad’s humor and genuineness will relate to college and youth groups throughout the state of Arizona and we highly recommend your ministry partner with Brad Melton."
— Dr. Eddie Pearson, Church Ministries Facilitator, Arizona Southern Baptist Convention; Tucson, AZ

Brad Melton brings a wealth of expertise to his presentations on Biblical authority and Mormonism.  Brad speaks with great clarity and compassion, combining truth from Scripture with authentic, personal experiences.  Our students were thoroughly engaged during Brad’s presentations and many are still discussing his insights with one another.  The NCS staff and students are grateful to Brad for challenging us to better defend the truth of the gospel."
— Mark Young, Bible Department Chair, Northwest Christian School; Phoenix, AZ

Mormonism, Christianity, and Me’ was eye opening, enlightening, and insightful. Brad spoke before our youth and collegians and made an immediate connection with them with his personal testimony and Biblical teaching. I would highly recommend his seminar to any church that seeks a biblically-based approach to understanding and ministering to Mormons."
