“There are Kings and there are King Makers, Trog Trogdon is a King Maker.” 

Milton Baker

Transportation Services Coordinator, H.I.S. Bridgebuilders

“For to one is given…faith by the same Spirit” (1 Cor 12:8,9). I have not known many Christians who I would say have this extraordinary and peculiar gift of faith. In fact, only one stands out, Trog Trogdon. After almost 20 years of friendship, I have seen God work in extraordinary ways through this modern-day George Müller. His generosity and love for the poor, his desire to see the lost come to know and love Jesus, his Kingdom focused life has consistently challenged me to seek first and more sacrificially the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Trog has put his hand to the plow and he’s not looking back. Pray to the Lord to raise up more men of grace and grit like Trog to get to work in His harvest.

“There are talkers and there are doers. Trog Trogdon is a doer. By his faith and action in the gospel of Jesus Christ, he has changed the world and me.” 

Mark Penick, PhD

Senior Pastor, Metro East Baptist Church

“I have known Trog for nearly twenty years and watched him up close and personal making a Kingdom difference in the lives of so many people. In my observation, Trog is about two things- sharing the hope-filled message of Jesus with others and investing his life in people from all walks of life. Trog leverages his gifts, talents, resources and relationships to further the cause of Christ. I have nothing but respect for him as a man of God and confidently encourage others to partner with, serve and lock arms with him in ministry.”

“For almost 20 years, Trog has consistently encouraged me and many others to seek first the Kingdom of God in all that I do, both in life and in business. His leadership and humility is transformative.”

Wil Reed

Founder & CEO of Wreedone

“Trog has been the most influential person in my faith journey for the past 22 years. His eyes are continually on the eternal. He constantly points to the sacrifices of this life being nothing compared to the riches in Glory. His conversations are deeply saturated with the importance of living and sharing the love of Jesus. Trog inspires and impacts everyone he comes into relationship with and has dedicated his life to being a friend of and serving the least of these. Trog Trogdon is the real deal.” 

Duffy Johnson, M. Div.

Festival Director, Luis Palau Association 

“There’s way too much to say about how Trog has impacted my life. He lives out his faith daily in his walk with the Lord, and he leads by example. He taught me how to give generously and joyfully and has strengthened my time with Jesus through the Word. Trog looks at all aspects of life through a Biblical lens and Kingdom perspective which challenges me to trust God in all things, both personally and professionally. I am forever grateful for Trog’s godly influence in my life.” 

Matt Schneider 

Co-Founder & Partner, Harvest Exteriors

“Trog guided me through Re:generation, a 12-steps recovery program. Working in ministry and having led philanthropic works for major sports teams and athletes, I sought results and improvement now, this side of heaven. Trog discipled me through my blindspots, weaknesses, and through some of the most difficult experiences in my life. I'm now reminded of our heavenly treasures and the need to boldly share my faith with anyone that God puts in my path.”

Stormy Pecchioni

Founding Partner, The Gardens Foundation

“Trog uniquely witnesses and teaches the TRUTH of who God is despite circumstances. I have not only witnessed him pouring truth into the lives of those he faithfully serves in his ministry but have personally been impacted by his daily grounding in who Jesus is. His ministry to others and to myself has allowed me to grasp the height and breadth of the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge. This wisdom has helped bring healing in areas of my life that I needed it. I have witnessed him doing the same for so many others.”

Elisabeth Jordan

Founder & President, The Human Impact

“Trog Trogdon is a true man who seeks after God’s heart.  He demonstrates his love for the Lord everyday by the way he lives and supports others.  I would describe Trog as a Man of God who is loyal, caring, a bible student, and teachable with a Shepherd’s heart.  His passion in life is coaching others to reach their full potential through the gospel of Christ Jesus.  If you desire to grow in your application of God’s word in your life, I will strongly recommend working with Trog.”

Ricky Jimmerson

Founder & President, Macro Focus Consulting

“When I think of men that I know personally that are surrendered to the lordship of Jesus, Trog is one of the first that comes to mind. Observing his life and ministry continues to spur me on as a brother in the fight of faith. “

Kyle Pierson

Strategy Coordinator, e3 Partners

“Trog has played an important role in my walk with Christ. Three years ago, I became a believer and I have been meeting with him consistently ever since. As a result, I have experienced an incredible amount of spiritual growth. He has patiently walked with me, pointing me to Truth, answering questions and challenging me along the way. I can now enter into a situation with someone who is looking for answers without fear of what I will say; I feel well equipped to share my faith and disciple others.”

Trog also has extensive business knowledge, and he has helped me shift my mindset in business from “what can I do to grow in business” to “what can I do to grow God’s kingdom through business.” Changing from a ‘worldly’ perspective to an ‘eternal impact’ perspective in business and life, has allowed me to step into all that God has planned for me.”

Chris Curry

Founder & CEO, Startgun

“Over the past few years, no one in my life has taught me more about living a life for Jesus than Trog. I’ve learned by his example how to weave the Gospel story into any conversation. Trog’s discipleship and mentorship also extends into my business life. He has a unique ability to look at business problems with a fresh and discerning perspective, and his coaching consistently comes from a Christ-centered perspective.”

Payton Guthrie  

Co-Founder, Harvest Exteriors

Trog’s love for Jesus and others has always inspired me to love Jesus more, to treasure His word and serve those around me, so they too can experience the love of our Savior. When I think of Trog, I think of a disciple-maker that inspires other disciple-makers.

Authentic, loving, giving and Christ-centered are 4 words that always come to mind when talking about Trog! He has challenged me in my walk with Christ and inspires me to serve others for the glory of our King!

Carter Morris, M. Ed

President & CEO, Grace Bridge Food Bank & Master Cares Africa

The first time we met Trog we instantly knew he was a man after God’s own heart. We have watched him constantly and consistently shepherd, encourage, and cultivate a love for Jesus in the hearts of those around him.

His impact in advancing the Kingdom through his discipleship and love for others cannot be overstated. His life of self-sacrifice and Kingdom focus has had a huge influence on our lives, and both us and Seed Effect are better for it.

David and Missy Williams

Co-founders of Seed Effect

“Trog displays a simplicity of the gospel in the way he loves God and loves people. He displays his love for Christ in every area of his life. His wise nuggets, biblical teaching and way of life have forever shaped my view of kingdom work. It has caused me to know God more and serve His people with gladness of heart at my church, at my job and at home.”

Trog always reminded me, “God hasn’t called us to be successful, just faithful,” and I have witnessed Trog’s ministry grow with his genuine, sincere pursuit of Christ and his faithfulness to the Lord’s call on his life.

Abby Leake

Co-founder, Novi3

I have known Trog for 30 years. Over that time, I have never met another person as passionate for the lost to be saved and for those that have been saved to be discipled into the fullness of Christ that God promises us. Without Trog's friendship and constant discipleship, I would not be the man of God I am today, and I certainly would not be a pastor. No single man has had a larger impact on my life, and I know there are so many others out there that would say the same. Trog's life is not only a beautiful example of the greatest commandment given to us by Christ in Matthew 22, but also of his call to go and make disciples in Matthew 28. His life is surrendered to Christ and his infectious spirit calls others around him to do the same.
