    My Story

    Posted on Monday 3 April 2006 by Greg @ 8:04 am
    Filed under:

    Here’s my story:

    My name is Greg. I’m a husband, a father, a preacher, an author, a twitchy revolutionary and a fanatic for Jesus.

    I love my wife, my kids, my dog and my God (not in that order!)

    Give me Starbuck’s coffee, wi-fi, time at the park with my kids, a movie-dinner night with my wife and I’m a happy man.

    • What makes me mad? Lukewarm Christians, bad theology and passionless churches.
    • What makes me furious? Horrible Christian drivers with stupid Christian bumper stickers
    • What makes me happy? Jesus (the real Jesus that is), Java, arenas full of teenagers and vacations with the fam

    Hobbies: Movie watching, telling stories and working out just enough to not get fat and be almost semi-quasi buff.

    Sports: Golfing? Tried it…no! I can’t afford the balls (lost 20 in one round…got a score of 165 and stopped counting…true story) Basketball? Football? Baseball? No. No. No. Is preaching a sport? Please say yes.

    Special Talents: I can do the Napoleon Dynamite Dance, work numchucks and do a killer fake throw up (not all at the same time)

    Background: I don’t come from a church going, pew sitting, hymn singing religious family. I come from a tough urban family filled with bodybuilding, tobacco chewing, beer drinking thugs and that’s just the women (my signature line!) One by one my tough, urban family members were led to Christ and transformed. The impact that Jesus had on all my uncles, aunts and cousins touched my heart so much that from the time I was elevenish I knew that I was going to be a preacher someday…tadaaa! Praise God!

    Favorite Sports Team: The Denver Broncos

    Least Favorite Sports Team: The Oakland Raiders

    Could care less about: College basketball

    Past Vocations: Hay Hauler, Roofer (eight years!), Pizza Delivery Driver (Dominos!), UPS Truck Loader (ugh!), church planter and preacher pastor

    Current Vocation: President of Dare 2 Share Ministries

    Favorite Movie of all time: Sergeant York (Gary Cooper, 1948, 11 Academy Awards…rent it)

    Second Favorite Movie of all time: A tie between Rocky and Braveheart

    Brush with greatness: One of my best friends growing up, Scott Derrickson, co-wrote and directed the movie The Exorcism of Emily Rose

    Brush with stupidity: Every morning when I comb my hair

    Signed, Greg

      • Hey Mr. Stier:

        I read what you posted in the Christianity Post online about your view of the Latter-day Saints (“Mormons,” of which I happen to be one). Very thoughtful, well-written. A perspective that I admire and respect.

        Would that all mainstream Christians followed your examples.

        Best regards, David in Phoenix (who reads the so-called “Old Testament” in Hebrew and so-called “New Testament” in Greek, I say ‘so-called’ because both are really testaments of the Savior, Jesus Christ)

      • Hilarious! Your story is touching and you’re attitude is marvelous! I pray for you and D2S a lot. Can’t wait til I can get my Pastor’s license, though I have a while, I’m only 17! I preached my first sermon September 25, this year. I brought a Junior Higher on my school bus to Christ! I preach to him everyday, and I got him a Bible! I just learned he doesn’t know how to read, so I’m going to teach him how read Bible stories! I do my best to bring a new message top him everyday, but it’s hard. One of my (well I guess it’s not a dream, but pretty close) is to have an actual conversation with you face-to-face someday. I think the closest I’ve ever been to you was when I was in line at D2S and I saw you walk into a tent last year. I love you Greg!!

      • Hello Mr. Greg Stier,

        You have an awesome ministry going here. When you said “What makes me mad? Lukewarm Christians, bad theology and passionless churches.” I agreed. Most people who call themselves Christians today do not realize that faith without works is dead (James 2:14-26). If someone says something, but does nothing to back it up, then they probably do not believe what they say. I believe God has called me to help as many as I can learn that. I am the owner of http://www.1LightforGod.net, and hope to gain you support if at all possible (I do not know your policies). I just want to let you know that you have mine. If you ever need anything contact me through the email listed on this account or on the contact page on http://www.1LightforGod.net. Thanks

        In Christ’s Service,
        Joshua Bedford
