Resident Testimonials
"There are a lot of wonderful things about TR, but I am especially grateful for Neil & Casey!
"[Neil] spoke words that both encouraged and challenged me.... He called out and affirmed my truest identity & celebrated the way God has worked in my life. I knew that Neil was someone I wanted to learn from.... His words continue to stick with me and shape future decisions.... This was a healing year for me and I attribute a lot of it to Neil's character and leadership."
"I am thankful for Casey's hospitality, her sacrifice & surrender, her discernment and her creativity.... She is full of the Spirit and Truth. I'm thankful for her presence and investment in us...."

"God used the program (through Neil, professors, job placements, housing, etc.) to shine a light.... We came face to face with ourselves... as our God was inviting us into the things He wanted to point out in our hearts...."
"For me it was healing. It was deepening.... It was slowing down, stopping, and listening all the more intently.... I learned so much about our Lord through this experience...."
