My Story

I’m the son of a military chaplain and grew up all over the world, but it was in high school that I began passionately following Jesus. That journey led me to Moody Bible Institute, where I met my amazing wife Susie—and now, years later, we’re raising five beautiful kids in the great city of Chicago (and still hoping for more!).
For the past 20 years, I’ve served Jesus here, mentoring and coaching young adults to overcome challenges and grow into their God-given purpose. As the former director of the Chicago School of Leadership, and one of the pastors of Chicago Tabernacle. I’ve helped students break free from addictions, grow in spiritual maturity, and develop bold, biblical leadership.
I believe transformation happens when you encounter God and receive a revelation of HIM. That’s why everything I do—from writing and speaking to coaching and retreats—is focused on biblical truth, real-life application and moments in the presence of God. If you’re ready to grow deeper in faith, navigate relationships wisely, and take ownership of your future, let’s connect!

Book David Stephens for Your Next Event

David desires to welcome in the presence of God everywhere he goes.

He believes every time he gets the opportunity to speak he is on assignment from God to move the kingdom forward. His desire is to see the captive set free, the sick healed the discouraged built up and for every heart to walk away desperate for more of Jesus. 

Vacation with purpose

More than just a getaway—this is a transformational experience designed to raise the vision for your future. These days will be a time of powerful revelation and deep connection with God and a group of likeminded young adults. This will be a time of disconnect from the world away from phones and screens and an enjoyment of meals and rich conversation. Come away and make an investment in your spiritual and emotional development. Disconnect from your daily life so that you can deeply connect with God and like minded believers.
