“Drake offers his audiences a rare combination of humility, approachability, wisdom, and knowledge, along with a faith that has been tested.  He is a pursuer, teacher, and lover of the Father’s heart, extremely careful to honor Scripture in its original culture and meaning, painting word pictures that help us leap into the stories.”

“As a speaker, Drake beautifully navigates the tension between incredible heartbreak and amazing faith in a manner that is inspiring to listeners and glorifying to God.  I’ve never seen such a moving example of a believer turning to bless the name of the Lord in the face of an unimaginable circumstance.  The Levasheff’s experience is heart-wrenching and powerful, bringing out important and poignant questions about God.”
