Steven Brubaker
“Steve has offered a deep friendship to me over the last twenty-five years. Over time, no one has reshaped and tweaked my theological understandings like Steve. His influence was stitched into the content I’ve written. I’ve attempted to represent his Biblical sharpness, worldview, and his critical eye for Anabaptist theology. Steve also helped me eliminate humanistic and self-serving leadership philosophy from my content.”
-Merle Herr
