"Peter's training has been a lifeline for me as a minister entering these on-line ministry waters! Thanks to the wisdom that Peter shares - in a very accessible way I might add - I have shifted how we engage with our congregation on a weekly basis and they LOVE it!  From concrete skill development to inspiration, it helped me feel confident to expand my ministry in ways I had barely considered before. Thanks Peter! "  -- Rev. Deborah Bennett
