Pastor Troy Evans, or PE, has led an extraordinary life journey. From a troubled past with gangs and a grand jury indictment, he escaped threats to his life by moving south from West Michigan, where he later faced mental and emotional breakdowns and even homelessness. His life took a transformative turn in Detroit, where he embraced faith, transitioned to an IT engineering career, and founded four churches. PE became a renowned national speaker and an expert in urban church planting, ministry, small business startups, and leadership development and is the author of the widely-used book, The EDGE of Redemption.
