I’ve known Rob for several years through his involvement with Ada Bible Church. He has led men's discipleship and has been instrumental in growing and developing men as they walk closer with Jesus.
Rob is a man of integrity, character, and humility. Through Soar Thrive, Rob would be an asset to any program devoted to discipleship in the Christian faith and committed to following Jesus.

I have known Rob and Annette for over 15 years, and I can say they are serious about following Jesus in their family, their vibrant business, and in partnerships.
Our friendship spans many levels: we attend the same church, participate in Bible studies together, our children attend the same Christian school, and we share business partnerships and ventures.
Rob has been a friend who has sharpened me like iron sharpens iron, and I would trust him with whatever I had. He is not willing to get complacent and continues to push forward spiritually, as well as personally and professionally.
I wholeheartedly endorse Soar Thrive and recommend Rob’s teaching and wisdom.

I have known Rob Young for almost ten years. During this time, I have witnessed his energy for life match his dedication to ministry. He and his wife Annette have been supportive, Christ-like members of our community who consistently model a Jesus-centered lifestyle.
Rob actively seeks right relationships with others and consistently demonstrates generosity. He is a hard-working individual who leads with grace, offers second chances, and is quick to forgive. Furthermore, he is dedicated to building the kingdom of God by creating tangible, gospel-inspired curriculum designed to reach the hearts of many.

The curriculum Robert has developed to lead young minds at the International Discipleship Training School team is highly relevant. We look forward to his dedicated leadership.

Rob is an incredible man of God, marked by humility and a deep love for Jesus. He is gritty, tenacious, and wholehearted in his pursuit of God. It has been my joy to travel with Rob and walk alongside him over the past five years of his faith journey. His life and faith in action have encouraged and challenged me in countless ways.
Rob’s curriculum is thoughtful and well-developed, considering the whole person and how our faith in Jesus shapes every area of life. It is theologically sound, but it goes beyond simply communicating good theology. It is inspiring, practical, and thorough as it addresses many of the essential elements of a healthy, growing walk with Jesus.
I highly recommend both Rob and his five-day curriculum on spiritual formation. I am confident the Lord will use Rob, his story, and this curriculum to encourage and challenge others toward deeper formation and greater faithfulness to Jesus.

Rob is an inspiring man of God. He has a contagious enthusiasm for the Lord that encourages people to become the person God made them to be and to boldly and passionately advance the cause of Christ.
I have traveled with Rob and his family on a mission trip. Our sons went to school together. I have had the privilege of connecting with Rob and his wonderful wife, Annette, socially. And I have seen Rob in action, leading and growing a successful business built on Christ-centered values and shining the light of Christ in our community.

I have come to know Rob as a man of unwavering integrity, honesty, and trustworthiness. His character is evident in the way he conducts himself each day, consistently demonstrating humility, compassion, and a genuine desire to serve others.
Rob is a Godly man whose faith shows in his actions, and he has a true servant's heart.
He is also a devoted family man who values strong moral character, personal responsibility, and the well-being of others. He deeply respects the proper development of our youth and is committed to encouraging, mentoring, and setting a positive example for the next generation.
I recommend Rob Young and Soar Thrive without reservation. I am confident that his character, values, and commitment to serving others will continue to positively impact every person and organization he is involved with.
