What people are saying

  • “We are so very thankful for the love and intentionality with which Dave walked alongside us in the months leading up to our wedding. We received biblically focused practical wisdom for our marriage. Along with this, we were given tools to better prepare ourselves in every aspect of our lives, together and individually, from communication techniques to financial advice. Every lesson was taken directly from Scripture. We are forever grateful for the truths that Dave instilled into us during our premarital counseling sessions. We absolutely recommend Dave to anyone seeking intentional biblical counseling from someone who truly lives a life to honor the Lord.”

  • “We were immensely blessed to work with Dave as our premarital counselor. Dave met us where we were. No question we had was too basic and no prospective challenge we considered was too trivial. He guided us expertly through delicate conversations, finding refreshing humor in the awkward, handling sensitive or sobering topics with great care, and always (always) listening to understand rather than to share his own opinions. Dave’s care welcomed us to dive into tough topics, to share freely—and ultimately, we learned much more than we would have otherwise. Dave is deeply studied in counseling topics. He always had relevant materials at his fingertips in case we wanted to dig deeper into one topic or another. He guided us through a couples’ compatibility study and layered in additional insights. He recommended books and articles and shared select passages when they were particularly salient. Dave never pretends to have all the answers, but if he doesn’t have an answer, he knows the best place to look for it. Dave’s care for us has continued far beyond our period of counseling. We’ve received encouragement from Dave in various forms well more than a dozen times since we were married 5 years ago. We see Dave and Hester most times we visit Spokane. They’ve had us over for chili and we talk about the good and the bad and the in-between. Sometimes it’s said that someone “demonstrates the love of Christ,” and because it’s a kind thing to say, it can be used loosely. Dave is the real deal!"
