The Lord asked me this question one morning.  Have they burned Ziklag yet?

David's lowest point came when they burned Ziklag. He'd finally fled Israel and defected to the Philistines, the ones of whom he had "slain his tens of thousands." Living under the watchful eye of his mortal enemies, he was promoted to become Achish's personal bodyguard. What a humiliation: to be the bodyguard of your sworn enemy!

But it got worse. When the Philistines went to battle, Achish decided to take him along as a sort of "secret weapon." Hey, he could kill Philistines pretty efficiently, right? Why couldn't he do the same to Israelites?

But Achish didn't get very far; David made the other commanders too nervous. So, reluctantly, Achish sent him home.

Exiled to the land of his enemies and then humiliated in front of them, he and his men trudged back the long dusty path to Ziklag, their home away from home.

He grew up in Pennsylvania, like many hard working folks in the Northeast. After obtaining his degree at Penn State University, he served in Vietnam as a captain giving oversight to a tank company where he nearly lost his life for our country. Upon he returning home from the war, Rich worked at Bethleham Steel eventually becoming an executive.   Rich met Jesus through some well orchestrated events and has much to share regarding his journey.

He spent some time after his years of corporate experience working for John Guest Ministries before launching CPTI. He has been personally involved in planting 1,800 churches in Ukraine. Rich is also establishing drug rehab clinics in Ukraine. 

Teddy Roosevelt said it best.  Let it pulse through your veins.

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Dave has a B.S. in Industrial Management from the University of Richmond and spent 25 years in the aerospace industry with three different companies negotiating large contracts for computer technology and aircraft components. He has led numerous projects, managed departments, and helped organizations be more effective and efficient. Both inside and outside the workplace, Dave has consistently functioned as a mentor and guide for hundreds of individuals over the past 30+ years.

A major element of his mentoring has been in the areas of career transition, discovering one’s particular purpose in life, and helping them launch into a new era of greater impact for Christ.

Dave believe's the most rewarding aspects of being a mentor is seeing people become more effective in all areas of life, then seeing them reproduce their lives in the lives of others. While Dave has been approached about writing a book, giving seminars around the country, and marketing his ideas on a broad scale, his heart is to impact individuals deeply, one at a time, over a long period of time, through different stages of life, and to train coaches/mentors in guiding others to their One Degree. 

Over the past 10 years, the focus of Dave’s mentoring has been in helping busy, productive, and impacting people to:

John Eldredge talks a lot about being wounded. In fact he brought clarity to an idea that psychologists wore completely out as they dug around in our pasts trying connect the dots about why we behave the way we do. They could tell there was something about this idea that when we bump up next to flesh and blood, it’s going to hurt. Raise your hand if you have ever been bruised by something a parent, a spouse or sibling said or if you have ever been hurt, frustrated or angered by someone close to you. Have you ever done something in response to an event that you later regretted? And why is it that those closest to you are the ones that can inflict the most pain on you?

I can't tell you how excited I am to see Clark coming to The Narrows.  This guy is rich with wisdom and energy.  He is a man of action and his energy is contagious.  I met Clark two years ago at a Wild at Heart Expedition.  Years ago he played an important role in gatherings his closest buddies together to enjoy a trip to Colorado and go to John Elderedge's Boot Camp.  That proved to be an impacting moment, so impacting that those guys brought the expedition home with them.  Now every year, those same guys take over a 100 guys on this journey.  It has personally impacted my life.

Aside from running an exploration business, Clark has made his real legacy in the Westside Harvest Market.  The recent Tulsa World article below tells it best. 

You are invited to come hear the wisdom, passion and hunger that burns in this guy.
