Illness, broken relationships, grief, and loss can make faith feel heavy. Dave names that difficulty—and points us back to trusting God when life doesn’t make sense.

Brief messages. Lasting truth.
Brief words of encouragement from Dave’s teaching — for a commute, a quiet moment, or anytime you need a reminder of God’s faithfulness.
Be steadfast
Vision and energy matter, but God starts with something deeper: a bedrock commitment to honor Him, resist temptation, and remain steadfast in His strength.
Open on YouTubeIs there a Creator—and what is His heart toward me?
If God spoke the world into being, a second question follows: what is His intention toward us? Dave answers with loyal, overflowing love that stays faithful even when we are not.
Open on YouTubeDon’t do the human math
Palm Sunday led to the cross because people around Jesus calculated by the world’s principles. How are you evaluating the new life He offers—drawing near, or staying at arm’s length?
Open on YouTubeInvited into the gospel plan
You’re invited not because you’re perfect, but because you need the righteousness of Jesus—adopted into God’s family and brought into His mission from before the foundation of the world.
Open on YouTubeYou are called to lead
Following Jesus means you are called and commissioned to lead. The question is whether you recognize that call—or leave it sitting dormant.
Open on YouTubeFaith grows in the Word
As we learn, love, and live Scripture, faith grows. We don’t manufacture belief—we receive what Jesus offers when His Word becomes the foundation of our lives.
Open on YouTubeFreedom from the power of sin
In justification we’re freed from sin’s penalty; one day, from its presence. Right now, in sanctification, we’re freed from its power—because Jesus conquered death and shares that victory with us.
Open on YouTubePursue the presence of God
Nothing lasting is accomplished for God apart from His presence. The blessing we pray for is often found on the other side of seeking Him with whole hearts—in worship and every morning.
Open on YouTubeAbide when the power feels low
Life has ups and downs. When God’s power doesn’t feel like it’s flowing the way you’d hoped, lean into Jesus—open His Word, abide, and watch for the fruit He wants to bear in you.
