I've Been A Christian Since 1971
When I began attending my present church, Dan had already been teaching adult Sunday School for some time. Due to my own schedule I have been unable to attend these classes. However, our Pastor and many others in our congregation give him high approval.
On occasion, Dan has been asked to "sit in" for the Pastor during the Wednesday evening service. I have been privileged to experience Dan's teaching then. One topic he taught on was "Faith and Action." Dan brought scripture from several different Bible books; James, Hebrews, Luke, Romans, Genesis, along with anecdotal examples from everyday life . . . some humorous, some serious, to bring his lesson into focus. He gave Biblical examples of how to grow in faith. He also gave real life and scriptural examples on how to know when faith is faltering, and how to restore it.
I believe Dan has insight from the Holy Spirit that he is using to help others.
I have been a Christian since 1971. However, I will be seeking his counsel on spiritual matters and would not hesitate to refer others to him.

Dear Brother/Sister in Christ,
I am Pastor Daniel Shepard. I have spent 39+ years studying the Bible; the people in the Bible, as well as the Strong, Mature, and Effective Christians of our day. I have preached sermons on and taught lessons on various aspects of growing as a Christian. I have seen people's lives changed when they have applied the lessons I have shared. I want to do the same for you.
It doesn't matter if you have been a Christian for 4 days, 40 years, or even longer. If you have found this website, I am here to help you grow into the strong, mature and effective servant God wants each of us to be.
One of the wonderful things about being a Christian is that God is constantly showing us areas where we need to grow. That is not a bad thing. God wants us to be complete, fully His in everything we think, say, and do. The Apostle Paul knew this. In Philippians 3:12 he wrote:
Not that I have already attained all this or have already been made
perfect (complete), but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ
Jesus took hold of me. (NIV)
Paul wrote those words 25 to 30 years after he had become a Christian.
Pastor And Teacher Of 39+ Years Reveals His Proven System of Lessons for Growth that will arm you to become the Strong, Mature, and Effective Christian that will Please our Heavenly Father. This system will also give you the power to Defeat the Devil's goal to keep you weak, immature, and ineffective in your Christian walk.Guaranteed!
Who Else Wants To Grow Into The Mature Christian That You and Our Heavenly Father
Desire?
LOVE GOD.
LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR
So, why am I selling this course instead of just giving it away? The reason is Human Nature. If a person gets something for free, too many times it has very little or no value to them. This course is a Life Changing Experience. I am so strongly convinced that you Will Benefit from this course that I want it to have value for you; so that you will Use It and Apply it in your life.
"I'll Guarantee You'll Grow Into The Christian Servant You Desire"
I know what you're probably thinking. What if this doesn't work for me? That's the reason I have guaranteed the course. I am so convinced that you will grow that I have made it Risk Free! If for any reason you go through the entire course, faithfully applying the lessons to your life and you do not see any Spiritual Growth and changes in your relationship with God and others, I will Refund your money. No Questions Asked.
God wants you to grow. He is our Heavenly Father. What parent doesn't want to see their child grow into a mature adult. Another reason is that He has a plan for your life. He wants you to grow in a mighty way so that you can Glorify Him, Reach the Lost, and Help Others to Grow.
He Has The Holy Spirit Gift Of Teaching (Ephesians 4:11-13)
I really enjoy sitting in Mr. Shepard's classes. He honestly and accurately applies the truths of the Bible to our modern day lives. The way he teaches helps us to easily understand the steps we can take to grow into mature Christians. I would not hesitate to recommend him to a family member or friend who is seriously wanting to grow as a Christian.

P.S. Imagine when you get to Heaven how great it is going to be to hear those wonderful words from our Heavenly Father, "Well done good and faithful servant! . . . Come and share in your Master's Happiness!" (Matthew 25:21)
P.P.S. Remember what James, the brother of Jesus, wrote by the Holy Spirit: "Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins." (James 4:17)
P.P.P.S. Don't forget, this is Risk Free. If, after going through the whole course and faithfully applying the lessons to your life, you do not see any Spiritual Growth and changes in your relationships with God and others; I will refund your money, no questions asked!
rowing into a mature Christian is a spiritual growth process that does not happen automatically. In the physical world one does not automatically mature mentally and emotionally . You need people to come alongside you. You need them to instruct you, guide you, and model for you good ways to grow into a mature person. We call them parents, teachers, mentors, role models, etc. The same is true in the Spiritual realm of Christian growth. It is my desire to be a teacher and mentor for you.
I have designed these lessons to be very practical and Biblically oriented. Each lesson will challenge you to prayerfully examine your life. It will show you how to apply the lesson to your daily life so you can begin growing immediately.
I so strongly desire that you learn and apply these lessons that some of the longer lessons will be broken down into two or more sessions. Each lesson/session will be sent every other week to your email address. So, you will have plenty of time to understand and reflect how the lesson fits into your life; as well as time to begin applying the lesson.
Some of the lessons may seem short. However, they will completely cover the subject and give you the opportunity to apply the lesson so that you can grow.
The first few lessons are foundational. Without grasping these lessons, you will struggle to grow into the strong, mature and effective Christian which you and our Heavenly Father desire.
Foundational Truths That Must Be Understood And Applied In Order To Grow

what Faith is and the secret ingredient which makes it real. You will also learn how you get Faith. Finally, you
will learn what you can do if you find your Faith wavering or if you have lost your Faith altogether.
THE BIBLE: The Bible is the most important book you will ever read. It teaches us how to live and how not to live. We will look at
some examples of each way of living. Also, in this lesson you will learn who wrote it and why. We will briefly examine the
four main styles of writing found in the Bible: History, Poetry, Instruction and Prophecy. You will learn how to properly
apply the things you read to your daily life. This is very important because too many times people misapply scripture to fit
their own ideas

questions and more will be addressed in this lesson.

relationships and how to mend those relationships. We will also see why it hinders your ability to grow.
HOW TO KEEP FROM SINNING: There are several specific actions a person can do to keep from sinning. Some are actions
which can be done before being tempted to sin. Some are actions which can be done during the temptation, so that
you don't sin. There are also actions which must be taken as soon after the sin action as possible. After this lesson you
