He has worked in the broadcasting industry for 30 years and in Christian ministry for over 25 years. While living in Los Angeles, he acted in television shows, commercials, and was also very involved in the Christian community. He currently lives in Wisconsin with his wife, Rosanna. Because of his love for the Lord, for old-school journalism, and extensive knowledge of ongoing efforts to erase Christianity from American culture, David was compelled to get out of his comfort zone and take action by writing, speaking, encouraging & challenging believers. He suggests America is at a 'Bonhoeffer moment' and we must not be silent in the face of evil! "I wasted too many years on selfish pursuits and lukewarm Christianity. I’ve recommitted myself to live as fully as possible for Christ. The Church is in desperate need of restoration and revival. We cannot remain neutral any longer! I am passionate about truth, the gospel, religious freedom, and am convinced America would be much better off if we all lived what we profess to believe. No more conforming to this world. Let’s rally the remnant of true believers and live counter-culture for Christ.”Subscribing, sharing, and your feedbackYou can subscribe to Equipping You in Grace via iTunes, Google Play, or your favorite podcast catcher.
