Speaking & Teaching

“With my time knowing Jud as a youth leader as well as the speaker during our Teen Week at Camp Kwasind, I have been able to witness Jud as an attentive communicator and leader. At camp, his attention to understanding where the kids were at in their faith journeys was incredible. He gave the kids opportunities to not only hear the messages he had prepared which were rooted in the Word and God's character, but also gave time for the kids to practice their faith in personal reflection time. This showed his deepest desire for kids to not just know Jesus from the words he spoke, but also help them to begin to know who Jesus is in their own hearts, taking Jesus further than a camp Jesus but a personal Jesus.”

“Jud coming to speak at our retreat was awesome! He was very clear, relatable yet theologically deep in his talks and our students really learned a lot over the course of the weekend!”

“It's still incredible to hear Jud speak to students all these years later—it takes me back, and at the same time it's amazing to watch students grow in their faith and deepen their understanding. Being part of that is such a gift. His pacing is spot on, and honestly, I hope he never stops using those ‘old school’ words and phrases like schmooze. I'm so grateful to see how the Lord is using Jud.”

“I have been working with DTS for about 6 years now. I have heard many teachings on the fear of the Lord. But the way Jud brought it to us was unlike anything I've ever heard before. His knowledge and presentation kept you focused and sitting in anticipation for what was coming. It was a very convicting week. The challenges to lay our sin at Jesus's feet and then participate in communion was so refreshing for us. Jud was teaching with the Holy Spirit guiding his steps! Very encouraging speaker. I can't wait to have him back again! I wish he could teach every week.”

“We had the opportunity of having Jud Stade teach in our DTS on Holiness and Fear of The Lord. He really puts the topic into perspective addressing profound issues like sin, shame, fear of the Lord, and forgiveness in a very powerful and fresh way. He also leads the group in practical exercises of surrender and forgiveness. Your students will leave the sessions feeling empowered to deal harshly with sin and equipped with the tools to do so.”
