dave’s speaking topics
leaving a corner
Dave unpacks the message of generosity laid out in Leviticus 23:22 by taking listeners through the journey of his own life and stories of compassion from around the world. Similarly to how the scripture in Leviticus asks people to leave a corner of their field for the poor, Dave challenges each listener to think about how they could leave a corner of their finances, time, and possessions to meet the needs around them. This is a very personal message for Dave and one he has shared in churches and conferences across the nation.
