“Brad is a great storyteller, which makes him unique among today’s Bible teachers, but very much like the teachers in the Bible. His deep understanding of doctrine and firm grasp on reality give him an uncanny ability to apply the Scripture to common life situations.”
“Engaging, provocative, and often leaving hearers with their ears and mouths open. Brad is a High-Definition teacher for today’s culture.”

Outdoor Blessings Ministry
"Just a quick note of thanks for "hooking us up" with Chaplain Brad Borders as guest speaker at our second annual Outdoor Blessings event held at First Baptist Church in Cherryville. He seemed to "fit" our audience well. We had 165 to 170 in attendance---men, women and children of all ages. Everyone that I've talked to said the event was a success and wondered how I found Brad. One lady called me at work three days later and thanked me for getting her son to the event, and that she absolutely knew that God had sent Chaplain Borders there to specifically speak to her son---WOW !
Our pastor has commented several times on how effective he thought Chaplain Borders was; I think they hit it off well. The witness he shares of his life's past trials and failures, being forgiven, then overcome via the power of God's wonderful grace, "hits home" in a powerful way, relevant to many. One young man came forward to make a decision to accept Christ. Three others indicated the same on a response card. And several wanted a member of the FBC to contact them---certainly making all efforts worthwhile. Alternative deliveries of God's word is a wonderful way to reach people where they are. Please remember our outreach efforts here at FBC in your prayers. May God bless your journey with HIM."

"I have known Brad personally for 11 years. He is a gifted preacher and communicator, but more importantly to me, he is a good and trusted friend. Brad is an encourager and a prayer warrior. He is committed to his friendships, his family, and his nation serving as an Army chaplain. He genuinely cares for people and their soul, so when he comes to preach, you are not getting someone who simply comes to deliver a message. You are getting a man of integrity who is passionate about seeing people come to Christ because he really cares what happens in the lives of the people he serves. I trust Brad as a minister, a man, and a friend."
