Bolton is a nationally known speaker and artist who is also a hunter and outdoorsman. He teaches God's Word to a multigenerational audience through an approach aimed at motivating and inspiring his audience to take their relationship with the Lord to a new level. From his early days as a youth pastor, Bolton has been committed to challenging people to serve and to "step out of the box" with their faith.

"God has called us to be light and salt to the world. You can serve the Lord with boldness and become a leader in your circle of influence, wherever that may be," Bolton said.
