I have been able to actively attend services that Shane speaks at for a few years now. Services including Sunday church type services as well as outside events. One thing I can say is that Shane simply brings a trustworthy message that is relevant in a very caring manner. I can defend his trustworthiness because I follow him along in the Bible and he doesn’t add or remove, in fact he would rather everyone read along and not put all their trust in him as more than just a tool God uses to bring his word forward. The way Shane delivers his message is very simple and relevant. Listening to Shane speak you can right away tell that he has spent much time reading, studying, and praying about his topics. If a question is raised that He doesn’t know the full answer to, he will go back to reading, studying and praying for advice before he even begins to answer. You can hear the caring in Shane’s voice and tell he really cares about people getting God’s word and getting into God’s word. You can tell he really wants to help others and also build those who attend his services up to where they can help others too. Shane is one of few people I know who walk their talk. His heart desires to reach everyone. If you have a chance to listen to a message that Shane gives it would be well worth it to attend. I have seen Shane’s speaking ministry used time and time again by God to help people in many different types of situations. He has been used by God to bring kind words when a hurt soul needs it, strengthening words a weak soul needs, guidance when a lost soul needs it, and even “step on your toes because God says so” words when we unfortunately need those as well.

“Shane has preached at several of student rallies over the past four years. I would not recommend that you invite him to your event unless you are ready to hear the Bible preached with no excuses or embarrassments. He is a gifted speaker who is able to connect to the audience like few others. I love to see how God uses Shane’s Gospel-centered messages to provoke a changed heart. Shane brings the unfiltered truth.”

“Shane’s speaking ministry consistently pushes me personally to new, more intense levels of spiritual growth by not “spoon feeding” me the Bible, but exhorting me to dig into God’s Word on my own and, therefore, learn how to make Jesus Lord of my entire life. Over the past two years, Shane’s teaching and guidance has led me to allow the Holy Spirit to smash many unhealthy “church” ideas and replace them with pure, Bible-centered convictions. I understand now that what Jesus wants of us is to press solely into Him, serve Him everyday of the week, and engage others along the way to join us. I praise God for Shane’s willingness to speak the raw and oftentimes unpopular truth that is the real gospel of Jesus Christ.”

“As someone who grew up in church, I have heard and been around several different preaching and speaking styles in my life. One of the things that I can say about Shane’s speaking ability is that it never comes across as fake or superficial. He has been gifted with a way of speaking and getting the message out that always feels genuine. I have also noticed and witnessed that it doesn’t matter the age of the person or group that he is speaking to. There is always a relevance and understanding that is taken away from it. He has a way of taking real life situations and biblical principles and mixing them so well together that the application of what needs to be done just makes sense.
To me though, the most important thing though is that it is always Bible. It’s not make you feel good or stroke your ego or motivational although all of that can happen or none of that can happen, depending on where you are at at the moment in your spiritual walk. He doesn’t shy away from the tough topics. He takes them head on and deals with them and you come away from that message with a clearer understanding of the biblical application that is needed. And lastly, he is real. You know that whatever the message is, it is from his heart and that it’s not just him, but the Holy Spirit using his talent to further the kingdom.”

“Shane has a way of drawing you in with his speaking. He makes it easy to understand and relate to. But he doesn’t pull any punches. It’s Bible or nothing, and if the Bible says it, he will tell you that the Bible says it. Shane will step on your toes if they need to be stepped on, but always out of love and the truth.”
