Starting as a night janitor for a church at the age of 19, David Drury says he’s had similar jobs ever since, serving multi-vocationally as a church planter, org founder, executive pastor, and chief of staff of the international headquarters of The Wesleyan Church. As a speaker and writer David seeks to be relevant to the next generation and faithful to the core Christian beliefs by communicating with heart and humor. He is the author or co-author of twelve books, including Marketplace Multipliers, Transforming Presence, Being Dad, SoulHacks, SoulShift, and Duckville. He has served for over a decade as Max Lucado’s personal researcher and also wrote a book with Todd Burpo called God is for Real. David and his wife, Kathy, were married in 1996. They have three children: Maxim (2000), Karina (2003) and Lauren (2005).

David Drury is a gift to the kingdom of God. I consider him to be a longtime friend, coworker, and able Bible scholar. I’ve turned to him for counsel many times. David helps us feel what it was like to actually be with Jesus and how it can change everything.
