“Dave speaks with the perfect mixture of excitement and truth. He takes on the posture of an old friend as he shares words that you can trust and receive well.”
Enrique Solorzano, Storehouse Church at Penn State University
“Dave is an effective and creative communicator of God’s Word. This ability flows out of his own personal pursuit of knowing and abiding with Jesus. I highly recommend Dave!”
Wayne Harris, Founder of Advancing Churches
Dave was such a blessing to the students at our annual retreat! His teaching is full of stories and images that help bring the Scriptures to life. He is passionate but also funny and relatable. He offered clear steps of faith for our students to take in response to the Good News they received, and in the weeks and months following the retreat, we saw our students leaning into what they heard from Dave. Furthermore, Dave was eager to interact with our students outside of the teaching times, giving room for them to ask questions and go deeper. His humility and charisma made him approachable and accessible even for students who were very young in their faith. Dave’s teaching and presence at our retreat has left a lasting impact on our church.

“Dave’s sermons feel like a conversation with a friend, not a sermon. He intertwines personal stories, laughter, technology and interaction with the congregation to keep us engaged. His lessons are personal and give me cause to reflect on the Word and what it means in my heart. Dave is not afraid to have hard conversations and deep dive into the Word.”
