"Bart Ponders has a deep burden for the youth of America to come to know Jesus. Throughout the years Bart has continually exhibited a heartfelt concern for the souls of teenagers. I strongly recommend you use Bart at your earliest opportunity. His bold, engaging, honest and direct approach will compel your youth to the point of decision and will not leave your church disappointed."

"Wow! What can I say about Bart Ponders. One, he is a man after God's own heart. Two, he has a passion for young people. And three, he cares about what is happening to youth ministers and their ministries. He has been in youth ministry 17 years and knows what we go through with parents, teens, pastors, etc. You get the picture. He loves us, and his ministry is to come along beside us and help us to keep steadfast in the battle. He speaks with a passion that only comes from God. He is about encouraging young people to stay faithful and true, even through the college years, when 3 out of 4 teenagers check out and never darken the doors of church again. He wants teenagers to crush that statistic, live long, and prosper. Bart is a great speaker, dad, friend and mentor. He will only help your ministry, not hinder it. But if you like your comfort zone then don't call Bart Ponders, because he may shake things up a little. Let Go And Let God."
