We love the emphasis on community, spiritual formation, and the kingdom mindset that Kathryn invites students to embrace. These are foundational, essential aspects to knowing and loving Jesus, and we're so grateful for Kathryn's faithful witness and desire to see students encounter and receive Jesus more and more." - Drew Martin
