Defining the Dash

At Defining the Dash, we want to take the time to share with you the testimonies of our Heroes of the Faith that have made a difference in our lives and communities. For those heroes that have already gone on, we don’t want their legacy to disappear with them. We want to share that with others, and with our youth. We want young people today, to know that God can and will use them, regardless of age. We each were made with a purpose and a calling. Let us laugh with you and pray with you, while you try to recognize that calling. Our Life is defined by a dash. The little mark on a tombstone between date of birth and date of death. That little mark, encompasses all that you were here in this life. Let us help you, ”Define the Dash.” Disclaimer*** It is important to note that the views expressed in these podcasts, are ours and do not reflect the views of any particular religious affiliation, church or organization.

Welcome,

              Thank you for visiting us here at Defining the Dash! We are so excited that you took the time to join us. We hope and pray, that God is blessing you with a wonderful time. We ask that you pray for us continually, as we face the great task set before us. Our goal is to reach the lost, encourage the discouraged, and try to reach the youth of today. Please, never fail to pray for us, that God would lead us to say what needs to be said, to reach people today. 

      

              Another goal that we have is education. Our kids that venture out into the world need to not only know what they believe, but why they believe it. They cannot say, "because my parents say so," or "my pastor says so," but they need to know what the Bible says. They need to know what God says. We hope to arm them with the Word of God, so they can defeat the Devil daily. 

 

             Fellowship, is another one of our desires. We look forward to the opportunity to fellowship with you and your family. Although we may not be able to physically travel where you are, by utilizing technology, we can be in the car as you travel, or even in your home. During your spare moments, we want to spend time of Godly fellowship with you. We want to be a Podcast that is for all ages.  We hope to laugh with you, cry with you and pray with you. Most of all, we hope to go to Heaven with you!! We ask that you pray for us and we will pray for you. 

 

                                              May God Bless You,

                                       Bro. Chad and Bro. Mark
