David Rinaldi, President of NET Ministries, shares an incredible journey of faith and hope in this BeatiDudes bonus show with Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein.

During his days in college, David enjoyed Bible studies and small groups with friends who were mostly anti-Catholic. During World Youth Day in Denver, David reluctantly took a youth group to hear Pope John Paul II, during which he experienced a conversion of heart that brought him back to Catholicism.

David’s post-college experience in the Air Force also played a formative role in his faith journey. He and other friends wanted to evangelize young people in Minnesota, and that was when he first encountered NET Ministries. This group had already been established to do exactly what David felt called to do in his heart. Years later, he told his commanding officer in the Air Force about the pull on his heart for ministry, and that man proceeded to pull out his Bible to join David in prayer and support.
