    Headline News…Greg Stier exposed!

    Posted on Friday 4 July 2008 by Greg @ 9:27 am
    Filed under: Rants

    Westword, a popular left leaning newspaper along the frontrange of Colorado, did a headline news story on me and Dare 2 Share that came out this week. To be honest I was kind of freaked out in the weeks leading up to the story. I was nervous that maybe the article would paint a slanted picture of what we’re all about. But now that I’ve read the article I’m actually pretty pleased with it.

    Jessica Centers, the reporter who interviewed a bunch of us (my good friend Rick Long who now pastors Grace Church where I used to preach, Emma the Buddhist from GOSPEL Journey Maui, Zane, my uncle Jack, my lovely wife and a few others) did a great job of capturing my heart and the mission of Dare 2 Share. I love the tagline to the online edition of Westword,

    “Greg Stier is raising up an army of adolescents to save your soul”

    You bet I am. All of us at Dare 2 Share are!

    There were a few things I cringed at. Sometimes when three hours worth of interviews are chopped up it doesn’t communicate as intended. But overall I think Jessica did a solid, pretty stinking unbiased job of reporting who, what and why we are.

    Check it out for yourself here. But be warned there are a few f bombs and such (no, not from me!) Let me know what you think of the article.

    Signed, Greg Stier

      • I thought the article was awesome. It provided me with a lot of background that I did not know.

        I have been taking my Youth group and College students through Gospel Journey. We are preparing to go through it the 2nd time with them inviting their friends who are unbelievers.

        Gospel Journey has certainly “fired me up.” I am looking forward to Gospel Journey Maui. My Youth are already asking about it. I am planning on taking Youth to the Invincible event in Atlanta next Spring.

        Keep up the great work!

      • Nicely done, Jessica! Or as Hancock said in the movie my wife, two sons and I attended today,”Good job.”
        There are times when profanity really drives home a point. As Jesus says through Paul,”Be all things to all people.” A couple years ago, I would have been really offended by the language in Hancock. Now I see opportunities in every movie or video or article for Jesus Christ to be made known. Sometimes to share His Message with guys like my brothers He Will Use some pretty crazy ways to Get His Point understood. Thanks, Lane, for Helping God Open my mind (and the minds of my family members) to ANY media that will open the avenue to a discussion of His GOSPEL.

      • Hi, Greg! Sorry for the long note…Met ya at Faith bible a couple months ago and in the best way possible, was completely blown away by everything you had to say and the way you said it. So was my 14 year old daughter. We think you rock!When I saw the article I was so happy you are getting more and more publicity for Dare2Share! It is in my eyes the finest org. around and it will be getting a bunch of my support financial and otherwise. I am a comedienne, who performs all across the country, and internationally also. My comedy is still quite adult in nature, (though I am praying for ways to polish it up, if you will, to be more wide range friendly) as presently I perform for many of the “rougher, wilder” crowd like you grew up with! Many that have not been saved, and most who barely know of Christ at all. Because of my testimony, 1000s of people who might be overlooked by the main stream faith based orgs. get to hear about what God has done for me. (I, who was and in ways still is just like them.)Kinda like you, your friends and the kids you reach. The Lord changes me for the better everyday. I ask Him to, and He hears me. Not everyone gets the lightning bolt, but if we listen, trust, thank and talk to Him, in time, His time, we will be forever changed. I love the saying “God’s not finished with me yet…” I also love Jesus with all my heart. (Got saved one year ago.)As for the “language used” it is true, whatever it takes to bring more of the lost home to Him, sometimes needs to be said, and done. Keep at it! You are an angel for many!

      • Greg, that is an amazing story. I was amazed at how well it was written. I’m glad that the word is geting out about D2S, and I plan on seeing you in Denver at the Invincible tour this year. Thank you for all that you do, and keep up the good work.
