Wade’s speaking style is to engage the audience with sound Biblical teaching and insight to make the message of Christ relative to people in all walks of life. This combination allows Wade to share truth with those outside the church as well as deepen the faith of the believer. His ministry has allowed him to speak to hundreds of thousands of adults and students all over the world.

Wade is the founder and producer of The Journey Bible Study Series, which is a study that walks people though the reading and understanding from books of the Bible. Wade started this Bible study in a Starbucks with 14 people and it has now spread to be a personal as well as small group Bible study tool for people in America, Japan, Europe, South Korea and counting. The Journey allows listeners to gain knowledge of the Word of God as well as a chance to apply it to their lives.
