David Blanchard

David Blanchard is a flawed follower of Jesus, grateful for God's grace. For several years he has immersed himself in the Bible, biblical commentaries, online presentations, and books authored by pastors, philosophers, and theologians. During that journey he came to see the joy, hope, and freedom that comes from forming our identity, how we see ourselves, based on who, and what, God describes and intends a Christian to be, rather than one determined through culture, the world, or our own devices. He has recently authored a book to help others to see God's design for shaping a Christian’s identity. A graduate of the University of Southern California, he has been president of three companies, executive director of a youth sports organization, a banking executive, a CPA for a public accounting firm, a volunteer youth sports coach, and a father to three children. Dave enjoys spending time with his wife of 39 years, outdoor activities, reading, and leading a weekly Bible study group.
