Episode 54: Dale Hummel, Taking the Gospel Beyond the Mountains (OCD)

One80

Dale Hummel was called at a young age to be a pastor, while growing up as a missionary kid in Papua New Guinea. As the elders were standing around, the local Christians asked, “Who will take the gospel beyond the mountains?”

It took Dale years to realize that he would be the one. But he had to overcome childhood trauma that developed into OCD to be able to fully realize God’s plan for his life. Learn how he overcame OCD and the biblically-based steps you can take to retrain your mind that he outlines in his book, Reset: Live Every Day Like It’s a New Day.

And be encouraged as you see how God used Dale to bring the gospel beyond the mountains, as both Senior Pastor at Wooddale Church in Eden Prairie, MN, and passionate church planter.
Do you have trauma from your past that is keeping you back from God’s plan for your life? Today’s show will encourage you in moving forward with Christ.

Today’s Sendoff features Michael Thompson, founder of OneWay.
