"Ascend was huge for me, especially those trips that we went on. All my life; all I knew was football, and to see these other men show leadership in their jobs was truly encouraging to me. I just want to say thank you for the opportunity. I’m so glad I got to meet everyone through the experience."
Mitchell Bryce

"This program was awesome and it had a huge impact on me and my faith. Getting to go through a rich book in scripture with a group of people and getting to connect with them has helped me grow in my faith tremendously."
Lola Pruitt
2025 Team
"ASCEND was one of my favorite experiences I have ever been a part of. My major takeaway was learning the importance of discipleship and why God places such an emphasis on discipleship. My favorite part about this experience was getting to pour into young believers and hear how even months later God is still working in their lives."
