is the Church blessing God?
Heat dances from the asphalt, giving solid objects the illusion of swaying under July’s burning heat. Hydrangea bushes, all purple and pink, dot the landscape of homes and churches. Driving down the road, I begin to count all the churches – One, Two, Three…Ten,...
write on dear writers… write on!
Write on dear writers… Write on! I don’t know how many times I have sat here staring at the computer and wondering why in the world I am doing this. Why am I writing? Who in the world is even reading this stuff? It’s easy to get caught up in the lack of comments and...
tread lightly on heroes in orange aprons
Yesterday I met a man, a hero, and he shared a true story that makes me want to wring somebody’s neck. The man had retired from 20 years service as an aviator for the US Coast Guard. He’d held a stellar career, one of awards and commendations. And he’d fought off the...
when fear rises
I wake with a headache and a stiff neck. I shiver in the breeze of the open window and pull the sheet up to my chin. I breathe a prayer for those out west who can barely breathe for the heat of the air, for those who can barely breathe for the heat of life, for...

I`m working on a brand new Bible study called "I Will, With God`s Help", and I`d love your help shaping it.
This study takes a deep dive into what it really means to be a Christian, exploring who God is and how our faith becomes a lived way of life. Week 1 is ready, and before I move forward, I`d love honest feedback from people across different backgrounds and denominations.
I`m using a tool called Help This Book, where you can read the draft of Week 1 and leave comments, questions, or suggestions right inside the document. Your input will help me refine the study and make it as meaningful and accessible as possible.

Thanks in advance to anyone who jumps in to help. Your perspective will make this project so much stronger.

November 10th is a special day for me, and this year is a good one.
Today is the one year anniversary for my ordination to the Sacred Order of Deacons, and it`s the 250th birthday of the US Marine Corps.
As I write this, I realize how much both of those things have in common... both marked by the unparalleled heart to serve.
Today, I take pride in the fact that I`m part of both of these two great callings, and I`m honored and grateful to have the opportunity to serve in these ways.
Semper Fidelis.
Once a Marine, always a Marine.
Once a Deacon, always a Deacon.

When God calls, no two stories sound the same.
Some hear Him in the quiet.
Others in worship, or even in the middle of a storm.
Curious which calling story matches yours?

The Psalms give us words when our own hearts fall silent. In this week`s episode of The BibleDude Sessions, we explore how these ancient prayers teach us to bring our whole selves — joy, pain, doubt, and hope — before God.
Let`s talk about how praying our pain can become a rhythm of healing. 💛

Had a great time this afternoon with the #EYCmountdora youth and others from around the @cfdiocese at @greatscottfarms for the Fall Festival and corn maze!
Sometimes it`s good to just get out in the fresh air on an awesome (Florida) Fall day and just have some fun.

"Avoid wrangling over words…" — Paul`s advice to Timothy sounds like it was written for social media in 2025. 📱
He reminds us that endless arguing does no good but only ruins those who are listening.
The call is clear: handle truth with integrity, not hostility.
Because our world doesn`t need more noise — it needs clarity, rooted in Christ. 🙏

Another Blessing of the Stage is in the books! 🙏
This is a really cool event that I get to help run a couple times per year at Mount Dora High School before their big productions.
I feed them chicken nuggies, then we grab candles and gather on the stage.
I shared with them the words of Saint Paul as he writes about how we are different members of one body. It`s this kind of community perspective that makes what they do special. When every member plays their part, it creates something magical!
Then I prayed a prayer for a theater performance with them, something that`s becoming a big part of this tradition.
And then the special part happened as they spoke words of truth and gratitude and blessing over one another as they sprinkled water all around the stage area and each other.
In the end, water everywhere (as if we baptized the stage)... everyone left with full heart and a reminder that they are all important parts of something much bigger than themselves.
These youth inspire me so much, and I`ll continue be there for them and pray for them as they perform and discover who they were created to be.
Amen.

God`s grace isn`t stopped by exile, hardship, or division. 🌿
It goes before us into the hard places… and follows after to redeem what we offer in faith.
"No exile, no prison, no cultural storm can ever chain the Word of God or silence His grace." 🙌

A Message From Dan
What does it look like to live a Christian life? Like, TRULY live a Christian life? If I’m honest, I’m over the fake front of being a happy, blessed, and perfect person in order to impress others. Truth is, I’m a sinner who’s just trying to figure out how to do this without looking like an absolute fool. I think the Christian life is about admitting our brokenness, while raising our hand to say,”Here I am Lord! What would You have me do?” And that’s what this blog is all about… just a dude trying to do the best I can, and maybe hoping that you’re stumbling through the same journey. Maybe we can walk together.
