About

My name is Dave Dunham, and I may or may not have a coffee problem. But since I serve as a Biblical counselor I can use the extra energy. I was a pastor for 18 years, have helped to plant churches and served as a church consultant, with The Society for Church Consulting. I have taught courses at both a local university and at an interdenominational Free Seminary. I have also had the privilege of writing for a number of wonderful outlets, including: Relevant Magazine, Leadership Journal, The Gospel Coalition, The Biblical Counseling Coalition, Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, and Christ and Pop Culture. I am also the author of three books: Addictive Habits: Changing for Good published by P&R, 2018; Table for Two: Biblical Counsel for Eating Disorders (which I co-wrote with my wife) published by New Growth Press, 2021; and Power with Purpose: God’s Design for Power Dynamics in Marriage (also co-authored with my wife), published by P&R, 2025. I am a regular contributor to the Biblical Counseling Coalition, and have been a speaker at the ABC Called to Counsel Conference.

I am currently a Biblical counselor with Sparrow and Heart Soul Care.  I received a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature and Pre-Theology from Ohio University, and a Masters of Divinity from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.

This blog, which you have clearly stumbled onto by accident, is an attempt to synthesize my own thoughts, and to encourage the spiritual growth of others. May it be a blessing to you.

Grace and peace,

Dave
