Camp Berea
9 June 2008I returned to Camp Berea this weekend to spend a few days with a couple hundred men of all ages. I spoke at Berea’s Father-Son Retreat, and, what a time we had! I watched God move throughout the weekend as 30+ sons and 5 fathers prayed to receive Christ as Savior.
Pray This Summer For JDM
5 June 2008I hope you are enjoying the beginning of summer. I am. I live for this time of year - sun, skiing, a day, or two…or five at the lake, a 55-ounce steak on the grill. To me, there’s nothing like summer.
Listen
30 April 2008I’ve been reading the story about a man named Elijah in the Bible. If you’ve never read the story, go read it now. (1 Kings 18-19) I won’t take time to explain the whole deal, but it is a remarkable story.
Belding
26 April 2008I spoke last night at the warehouse in Belding, MI to 40 teens. If you were there, you know what happened. You may be one of the 22 teens that prayed for the first time to give your life to Jesus. If so, congrads! It was an awesome night.

So what are your summer plans? A little fun in the sun, sleeping in late, just loving the fact of no school…did I mention sleeping in late?
FIVE. ONE. ZERO EIGHT.
3 March 2008
If you haven’t become a FIVE. ONE. ZERO EIGHT. partner with Jeffrey Dean Ministries, I hope you’ll consider doing so. God laid it on my heart at the end of ‘07 that 2008 was going to be an incredible year of ministry for JDM. Thus far, God has confirmed that promise. We have seen more […]
Gas Prices
18 February 2008While on the road recently, I drove past this old gas station and I just had to stop and take this picture. Can you remember when gas was this cheap? It was really just a few years ago, but it seems like forever doesn’t it?
Happy New Year
4 January 2008So, did Santa bring you everything you wanted this Christmas? If you’re a teen, then under the tree on Christmas you probably found at least one of the following: a North Face Denali, an iPhone, a subscription to Teen Vogue mag, or maybe a copy of Britney’s BLACKOUT – okay, maybe not the new […]
DuQuoin, IL
7 November 2007I want to say a few things to those of you from Duquoin, IL that I had the privilege of spending time with this past week at your community revival. What a great time we had over the past three days. God truly did an amazing thing in your community and I […]
Tolerance isn’t Partnership
1 November 2007“You are intolerant. You are judgmental.”
Not the kind of thing I enjoy hearing after walking off the stage after speaking. However, this, along with several other comments I’ll leave in the archives of my mind, is exactly what was said to me at an event where I spoke last week.
I am married to Amy. I have two daughters, Bailey and Brynnan. Though we rarely have a winning season, I am a Razorback fan. I am a pastor, author, and communicator. I love teens, ice tea, Mac, and I believe any day is a good day when it is spent on my boat.
