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.

In this episode, Dave addresses the critical need for modern missionary organizations to adequately equip their personnel for the severe risks of fulfilling the Great Commission in high-threat environments. Recording from a high-threat security and survival training event in South Dakota, Dave highlights rising global statistics of anti-Christian violence and historical hostage situations to argue that sending missionaries with only theological training and plane tickets is a failure of leadership. He counters hyper-spiritual objections by citing biblical examples like Nehemiah and the Apostle Paul, who balanced radical faith with strategic security measures. Ultimately, Dave advocates for implementing comprehensive survival and security training to build resilience, urging ministry leaders to invest heavily in practical tactical preparation for those answering the call to dangerous regions.
