My natural inclination is not to allow concerts in my church by musicians I haven’t heard personally. However, our music director and a few others in the church highly recommended Brad Stiles. After that night of worship, I readily echo their sentiments.
Brad is a gifted contemporary Christian artist with a true heart for the Lord. In fact, it was his heart that moved me even more than the outstanding quality of his music. What I anticipated as being a typical Christian concert turned into a worship experience involving our young and old alike. That night we caught a glimpse of heaven as Brad opened up his heart and soul in music.
It is with no reservations that I highly recommend Brad to other pastors and churches. His heart and music will stir your soul and inspire your congregation.
For the only cause that matters,

It is my great pleasure to write this Letter of Recommendation for Mr Brad Stiles.
Brad is one of the most outstanding musical talents in our area and this was evident when he sang at our 2nd Annual Fellowship of Christian Athletes Home Team Drive & Banquet in May of 2006. We were looking for a very professional person and Brad was exactly what we wanted.
The two items he sang at our event, attended by over 600 people, were simply inspirational. We had a number of people comment on how impacted they were by Brad’s performance. Some of these comments include:
“Brad Stiles is one of the most talented singers I have heard in some time. The first song he sang (“The Wind & the Waves”) really spoke to my heart and prepared me for what God had in store throughout the evening……”
“I sensed the Holy Spirit’s presence as Brad sang at the FCA Banquet. He has a wonderful voice and he added a lot to the night……”
“Brad is a real professional and this was evident at the Banquet……”
“I enjoyed hearing Brad sing. He sang with passion and energy. It was excellent……”
“I liked Brad a lot. He has a wonderful voice, great stage presence and is very relaxed and smooth in his delivery. The concluding item for the evening (“Word of God Speak”) brought tears to my eyes and left everyone with a deep sense that God is at work in all of our lives...……”
While there are many things I could say about Brad, I found his commitment to the task, organization, desire to excel, attention to detail and overall approach to our annual fundraising event to be of the very highest standard.
In addition, Brad’s many positive personal attributes made him a pleasure to work with. I find him to be friendly, approachable, hardworking and engaging. He was very sensitive to our special needs for this event and I enjoyed working with him a great deal.
I believe that this very talented man is one of the best singer/songwriters, recording artists, musicians and worship leaders in the Midwest and I have great pleasure in offering my very highest personal recommendation for Brad.
Should you require further substantive comments, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Yours sincerely,

I have known Brad since he was an 8th grader in my youth group. I have watched him grow and mature through good seasons and bad seasons in his spiritual journey, and I’ve seen his heart for God grow. I’ve had the privilege of ministering alongside of Brad in youth meetings and a spiritual emphasis week in West Africa. His gifted worship ministry was always a tremendous tool for preparing students’ hearts for God’s Word to find its place in their lives.
Brad has a sincere passion for God and that passion comes through as he leads worship and sings original songs born out of a passionate relationship with a loving Savior. Brad is amazingly gifted in musical talent, but even more so he is gifted in pursuing and engaging the Presence of God.
I highly recommend Brad’s ministry and I am confident that he will be a blessing to any church or ministry that will give him the opportunity to minister.
