Andrew was great! Many of our guests stated, 'Andrew was the best speaker to date.' His humor was well timed and not over the top! He 'gets' this movement as he is hands on and that was well communicated.

Sav-A-Life Calhoun County, AL

Our staff and board truly appreciated his time pre-event and willingness to help us improve our banquet and zone in on the key aspects to create a wonderful and successful evening for our supporters...We exceeded our goal and I am proud to say we were quickly able to find and purchase a new location thanks to to funds raised at our event. We also have several men lined up to serve under our new male mentor when the Lord provides the right person. We believe that will be soon as God is preparing centers to serve more than ever before... I highly recommend Andrew Wood not only as an event speaker, but as friend in the ministry, and a powerful pro-life apologetic... I also appreciate his appreciation of history and urgent political updates from a biblical perspective. His calm spirit, direct approach, and value for the sanctity of life will bless your ministry and encourage you as a leader.

Andrew was so encouraging to me. We enjoyed having him speak! He spoke so well and I would absolutely encourage anyone who is looking for a Guest Speaker to schedule him.

Andrew did an excellent job covering the content we asked him to share. His communication style was easy to follow. The value and sanctity of life was shared with truth, clarity, and compassion. Andrew was a joy to work with in the planning process and I would highly recommend him as an event speaker.

Our supporters really enjoyed him. It was a nice balance of very serious ministry update and the a lighter tone from him. He was very relatable.

The Care Center

Andrew is so conversational. His keynote was less of a lecture or presentation, and much more like a conversation with a friend. He had people laughing, while at the same time putting forth a challenge to connect actions to words.

Dr. Todd Stinnett, Senior Pastor, Black Oak Heights Baptist Church, Knoxville, TN

Andrew is a phenomenal man of God and an excellent speaker for any occasion. He is winsome, clever, and articulate. He pours his heart and soul into every engagement. He is especially gifted in engaging men. His most recent book, "Hero, Ghost, Villain" has been a gift to the world, and men in particular. I have used him on multiple occasions, and I can't recommend him highly enough!

Pastor Jason Hayes, Shoreline Church

I’ve been fortunate to hear Andrew speak in multiple settings over the years, including at our own church, and he consistently connects with people in an authentic and impactful way. He communicates with clarity, humility, and practical wisdom, helping people take meaningful next steps in their faith, leadership, and life. What stands out most is that the character you see on stage is the same character you find off stage. Andrew leads with integrity, genuinely cares about people, and brings value to every room he enters. I would strongly recommend him for any men’s event, conference, leadership forum or church gathering.

Brian Conover, Grace Church, Cookeville, TN

We consistently call on Andrew to speak at our church because he is a credible, confident and competent voice for biblical truth in today’s culture. His message is backed by a family and personal life that proves he believes what he says. He’s definitely a church and personal favorite.

Kally Yates, Options Now

We were honored to have Andrew Wood as the keynote speaker for our 2026 Annual Vision Dinner fundraiser and to host a Ministry Leadership Breakfast that same weekend. Andrew's message on the Church's role in partnering with Pregnancy Support Clinics, engaging in abortion recovery, and strengthening men and fathers was both challenging and inspiring. The feedback from both our church leaders and donors was overwhelmingly encouraging, and his message made a lasting impact on all who attended. At the Leadership Breakfast, Andrew specifically challenged churches to move from simply valuing life to actively creating pathways for healing, discipleship, and restoration through abortion recovery and men's ministry.
