But Dan's transformation didn't stop there. After completing PTC, he returned to his church with renewed passion and biblical clarity. His preaching became more grounded in Scripture, his teaching more confident, and his ministry more fruitful. Dan now leads Bible studies that have grown from a handful of people to more than 50 regular attendees. He's training other lay leaders in his church, multiplying the impact of his PTC education throughout his community.
