“With our culture moving away from its Judeo-Christian roots,  the inception of the National Apologetics Training Center (NATC) by Steven Garofalo is very timely.  Steve has been making an impact in the area of cultural apologetics for over ten years.  He is one of the best persons I know to carry out that mission.  As advisor to Steve’s Masters of Apologetics program, I became aware that  God had uniquely gifted him for this ministry.  The man, the moment, and the message have converged for equipping the upcoming generations. While speaking with me on many occasions, I observed Steve’s penetrating message, his understanding of people from different cultures, and  his ability to apply his message to their current needs.  The battle against the onslaught of a secular worldview is raging more than  ever before in the history of our country.  And I believe God has raised up NATC to effectively engage this battle.  This is why I am delighted to stand with Steve and the National Apologetics Training Center. "

"It has been my privledge to know Steve Garofalo for several years. He represents a remarkable cluster of gifts and is a brilliant businessman. As a student of apologetics, he has also honed his skills for the defense of the Christian faith in an increasingly post-modern world. Furthermore, he has a deep committment to impact his culture for Christ, and this has led him to be one of the brightest cultural apologists in the land. I can wholeheartedly recommend Steve and The National Apologetics Training Center."

"I believe that God has raised up the National Apologetics Training Center (NATC) and commissioned Steven Garofalo with a vision for taking apologetics into our rapidly changing culture. I have had the opportunity to speak with Steven at numerous conferences and can testify that his commitment, resolve, and passion to serve his calling to cultural apologetics are impressive. I believe that God has uniquely suited Steven for this mission and raised up NATC to provide answers for skeptics and equip believers by bringing both a compassionate and logical approach to defending the Christian Faith in our diverse and rapidly changing culture. It is for this reason that I stand with Steven Garofalo and the National Apologetics Training Center."
