About the Author
Dave began in the ministry in 1972 when he joined the staff of Youth for Christ. His journey from that point led him to positions as Youth Pastor, Associate Pastor, and then as a church planting pastor, founding a thriving church in Silicon Valley. He was an honored history scholar at the University of California and attended Fuller Seminary.
After retiring in 2014 and moving to Yelm, Washington, the church he was attending, Crossroads Community Covenant Church, invited him to come out of retirement and join their staff as Associate Pastor—a position he continues to hold in the present.
Dave’s teaching and ministry are focused on practical Christian living with many emphases. His life verses serve to highlight those emphases. In Hebrews 4:15&16, we are assured that Jesus is a high priest who can sympathize with our weaknesses because He has experienced every type of temptation that we have, enabling us to confidently come into God’s presence knowing that we will not only receive mercy and forgiveness, but also grace to empower us to live the way the Lord intends us to. Another of Dave’s life verses, Ephesians 2:10, stresses that every one of us is God’s masterpiece and has a destiny of kingdom ministry that the Father planned for us from before we were born. And finally, John 10:10 shows us Jesus’ promise to give us abundant life—or as Dave calls it, maximum possible life.
