Speak the Word – Faith in Motion
If you’ll allow me just a few minutes today, I want to share something that has the power to change your life. Speaking God’s Word out loud… is faith in motion. It’s where belief becomes action. Those aren’t just words I’m placing on a page. This is something I’ve lived. Something I’ve watched transform lives—including my own. There is something profoundly powerful about hearing God’s Word with your own ears—carried on the sound of your own voice—until it settles deep into your spirit. Belief begins quietly in the heart. But when you speak God’s Word out loud… belief begins to move. And that...
From Wheelchair to Wings – The Power That Changed Everything
Maybe recently you received a diagnosis that has shaken your world. Perhaps it’s something doctors say is inoperable—something that cannot be fixed. Or maybe it’s not life-threatening, but it wears you down day after day. Or perhaps your body is strong, but your heart is broken. You’ve lost someone you love… and you don’t understand why. Why would God allow such pain? I understand more than you might think. After surviving an airplane crash as a teenager, I spent about 30 days in a wheelchair in the backyard of my home in Los Alamitos, California. Nearly every part of my body had been...
The Truth About Who You Really Are (And Why It Changes Everything)
Most people believe faith is something you inherit—something you grow up around or absorb from your environment. But Scripture teaches something very different. Faith is a choice. And once chosen, it is something you develop. God has a plan for your life—a good plan, filled with purpose, peace, and direction. But stepping into that plan requires something many people never fully understand: how faith actually works. My prayer is that what you read today becomes a foundation—a starting point for a completely new way of living. I’m not talking about simply surviving. I’m talking about learning...
The 3 Steps Most People Miss Before Their Breakthrough
There was a time in my life when I didn’t fully understand the difference between hope, belief, and faith. I used the words almost interchangeably. But over time—and through experience, both in life and in the Word of God—I began to see that each one plays a distinct and powerful role. They work together… but they are not the same. Let’s begin with hope. Hope is where it all starts. It is that inner desire for something good—something better—to come. It’s the picture of a preferred future. Without hope, life begins to feel heavy, even hopeless. But God, in His goodness, gives us hope as an...
Atomic Faith Begins with a Living Word
The Word of God is alive. It’s not just a book—it is a living force. It carries within it the power to bring life, healing, restoration, and blessing into every area of your daily walk. When you engage with God’s Word each day, you’re not simply reading words on a page—you are receiving truth. You are being strengthened, corrected, and empowered from the inside out. Now let me gently clarify something I believe is important. When I refer to “the Bible” or “the Word of God,” I’m speaking of a faithful, accurate translation of God’s holy Word. Not a paraphrase, and not something that departs...
Is the Earth Flat?
A Pilot’s Perspective After 40 Years in the Air Over the years, I’ve been asked many questions—both from the cockpit and beyond. But one, in particular, has surfaced more frequently in recent times: “Captain Dale… after flying all over the world… do you believe the earth is flat?” That is an honest question. And rather than offer a forceful opinion, I would simply like to share what I have observed over four decades of flying—along with a few points of evidence for you to consider thoughtfully and personally. Let’s begin with something highly practical: navigation. Every flight I have ever...
Does God Heal Some… and Not Others?
It used to be one of the hardest questions I’ve ever faced. And… it’s one I didn’t ask casually. In my youth, I asked it through tears. Through fear. Through long nights when everything felt uncertain. Does God heal some people… and not others? If you’ve ever wondered that, you’re not alone. When I was walking through barely surviving an airplane crash, I saw something that deeply troubled me. There were people who loved God just as much as I did—some maybe even more, it seemed. People full of hope. People who prayed. People who trusted. And yet… not many of them were healed. So what do we...
Faith and Patience: The Power Twins
There was a time in my life when I believed that faith meant power. And that’s true. But I also thought… If I believed strongly enough… If I prayed clearly enough… If I stood firmly enough… Then surely things would change quickly. But that’s not what I experienced. What I discovered instead… was that faith has a companion. And its name is patience. During my wife’s journey through cancer, there were moments of strong, unwavering faith. Moments where she knew—deep down—that God was with her. As I stood by her… daily… hourly… I watched her hold on to God’s promises. I knew His Word is true. I...
Praying in the Spirit — Charging Your Spiritual Battery
Friends, Some subjects in the life of believers are widely understood. Others are rarely discussed or often misunderstood. Yet sometimes the very things believers avoid talking about are the things that could strengthen their spiritual lives the most. Our enemy often tries to rob the Christian of power any way he can — and that often includes anything to do with the Holy Spirit, who was sent to empower believers. Let’s continue our conversation about the Holy Spirit and the gift of "praying in the spirit" in your prayer life. This subject has been misunderstood for many years. Some churches...
The Power of the Holy Spirit — An Honest Question About Speaking in Tongues
Friends, Over the years I have received thousands of emails from readers asking sincere spiritual questions. Some questions are simple. Others are deeply personal. Every now and then a question arrives that opens the door to a truth that can change a person’s spiritual life in a powerful way. Recently I received one of those questions. Before we begin let me pause and say thank you. Many of you write emails, pray for us, and support the work Paula and Kara and I are doing. Because of you, we are reaching tens of thousands of people every week with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the pure,...
Why Every Believer Needs the Holy Spirit in These Last Days
Over a lifetime I have watched many misunderstandings develop inside churches and around the world about the Holy Spirit. Too often people form opinions without checking it carefully against Scripture. They repeat what they heard someone say, instead of finding out what Jesus told us about His Spirit. The subject of the Holy Spirit may be one of the most misunderstood teachings in Christianity. It is not surprising that satan has worked diligently to scare people away. He has caused misconception of the most powerful aspect of God we have been given. All with a strategy to rob God’s people...
The Holy Spirit – Your Source of Power
The closing chapter of the Gospel of Luke gives us something precious — something every believer was meant to experience, yet in today’s society, it is rarely found. Let’s discover what that is. Luke records something remarkable: “And He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures.”- Luke 24:45 This is a quiet but powerful moment. The disciples had heard Jesus teach for years. They knew the Scriptures. But now, something changed—not in the text, but inside each of them. Jesus opened their understanding! This reminds us of an important truth: Knowledge alone...
When Heaven Pulls Back the Veil
Dear Friend, One of the most powerful promises in Scripture is found right at the beginning of the book of Revelation: “Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near.” (Revelation 1:3, NKJV) That word near matters. It reminds us that eternity isn’t far off somewhere in the distance — it’s only a heartbeat away. At any we could leave this life and enter eternity. The Apostle John understood this deeply. John had been exiled to the island of Patmos for preaching the Gospel. It was essentially the...
When God Feels Distant
Jesus told us that true worship is not tied to a building, a mountain, or a special place. Worship happens wherever the name of Jesus is honored—wherever His presence is welcomed. The Bible tells us that we are the temple of God, and that He dwells within us. Yet if we’re honest, many believers live day to day without a real awareness of His presence. Sensing that God feels distant. God may be real theologically, but not always personally. Scripture says, “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” (John 4:23, NKJV) That kind of worship isn’t about form—it’s...
The Day Darkness Was Exposed
One of the most powerful and revealing moments in the ministry of Jesus took place very early in His ministry — not in the streets, not on a mountain, but inside a synagogue. Jesus’ authority over darkness. Mark chapter 1 tells us that Jesus came into Capernaum and entered the synagogue on the Sabbath day. As He began to teach, the people were astonished. There was something different about Him. Something they had not heard before. The Bible says, “They were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes” (Mark 1:22, NKJV). Jesus did not speak...
The Power of Your Thoughts
How important are your thoughts? They’re invisible. They’re silent. No one else can see them. So how powerful could they really be? The Bible gives us a clear answer: “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.” — Proverbs 23:7 (NKJV) This verse reveals a powerful spiritual truth: our lives become the fruit of our thoughts. We think with our intellect, but the thoughts we allow to remain eventually move deeper—into our heart. Whether for good or for harm—what we continually think begins shaping who we become. The Battlefield of the Mind One of Satan’s primary areas of attack against mankind is...
Living Faithfully in Dangerous Days
Dear Friend, It doesn’t take much effort to recognize that we are living in difficult and uncertain times. Moral confusion is everywhere. Long-held values are being challenged. Families, institutions, and even nations seem increasingly unstable. Scripture actually gives a name to days like these. The Apostle Paul wrote: “But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come.” —2 Timothy 3:1 (NKJV) The word perilous means dangerous or fierce—and it accurately describes the spiritual climate we are witnessing today. Yet God never reveals danger to frighten His people. He reveals it so...
Facing the New Year Without Fear
As we step into a brand-new year, many of us feel a mix of hope and uncertainty. Most people aren’t afraid of hard work or responsibility — they’re afraid of what they can’t see yet. The future feels uncharted, and that alone can stir fear in the heart. God understands this. That’s why He reminds us not to face the future on our own strength or assumptions, but on His promises. The truth is, we don’t need to know everything that lies ahead. We only need to know who goes with us. “For He Himself has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.’” — Hebrews 13:5 (NKJV) That single promise...
