Dave's Memoir Now Available!
Dave Warnock was caught up in the Jesus movement of the 70s and lived the bulk of his life as a Charismatic Evangelical, serving as a pastor on three different church staffs.
Following several years of internal struggle, Dave came to the conclusion in 2011 that he no longer believed in a personal God. In 2019 he was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease), a progressive neurodegenerative disease with an average 3-5 year life expectancy.
Dave is spending the days he has left speaking out about the dangers and harm of fundamental religions, with a focus on Evangelical Christianity. He also seeks to provide a safe haven to those questioning their faith, recovering from religious trauma or navigating life's tribulations as he shares his own perspective as a former ex-evangelical, but now an atheist, facing a terminal diagnosis.

Want to support Dave's outreach?
Dave's goal in his time remaining is to be able to reach out to as many individuals and communities as possible, both religious and secular, to show the value we already have in this one life we have, and how we can face death without fear, and without a need for a promised afterlife.
Dave also works tirelessly to educate others on the dangers of religious fundamentalism, and to promote a less judgmental, more tolerant worldview that does not condemn or shun others for their faith, or non-faith, beliefs.
To support Dave's work, a Patreon & Paypal) account has been set up to help cover travel costs incurred when meeting with groups to have conversations around living and dying as an atheist. We greatly appreciate your financial support which enables Dave to continue this outreach while he is still able. Patreon support also assists with the weekly production costs of "That GD Show."
