Resilient Fire Podcast
Welcome to the Resilient Fire podcast! Using over 25 years of experience, Dave takes principles of survival, balances them with scripture and the Gospel, and talks through ways to apply them to our daily lives. The podcast is aimed at people who want to deepen their relationship with Jesus so that they can be a blessing to their families, church, and community. Be resilient...be fire, because we need to continually be reminded that the light shines in the darkness...and where there is fire, there is light.
