Nick Ciletti sat in the historic First Institutional Baptist Church and listened to one of Pastor Warren Stewart's sermons ahead of his late-June retirement:

"Sitting down with Pastor Dr. Warren Stewart is such a motivating experience for me.

He is able to bring scripture to life, connect the dots, and craft a strong, positive message in the process. And his impact goes beyond the church; his work as a civil rights leader has created concrete change across Arizona and has opened a lot of eyes in the process. It's no wonder he stuck around for nearly half a century!"
