Joel Dahlenburg

"I am a native of Northeast Florida and live in St. Johns with my wife, Marie, and son, David. I came to Christ in 2013 after a few years of God taking me on a spiritual journey. My acceptance of Christ was a realization that Jesus is the Way, Truth, and Life. I lived a deceived life, based on the false claims of naturalism, Judaism, and the lie of self-worship, believing God was unnecessary and I could figure out how to achieve my goals and dreams myself. I find that as I grow in my knowledge of God, I see more of who God is, and my love and passion for God grow (Psalm 19). This fuels my passion for serving and teaching the Bible so others can see, know, and come to worship the true and living God.

I love to read, play sports, and spend time with my family. I will talk about the Bible with anyone I meet, especially Mormons, to whom I often witness. I love to be challenged in my beliefs, and I welcome opposing views, enjoying friendly theological dialogue."

Joel graduated from Flagler College with a B.A. in Business Administration and Liberty University with an M.Div in Apologetics. He is currently finishing up his D.Min in Pastoral Theology from Calvary Chapel University. 

Personal quote: "We are to love God with all ourselves, but we cannot do that if we do not first know the God we are supposed to love."
