HAUNTED

The Spirits That Haunted the Judges · Volume One

Meet the judges as people—not statues—and discover how unnamed patterns can become spiritual prisons. The story does not end with what haunts us. God still reclaims what we are willing to name.

Stories that meet you
where you live.

Each book begins with a familiar story from Scripture—and asks the question that changes everything: what if this story is about us?

The Complete Take the High Ground Experience

Book & Discovery Journal

I wrote Take the High Ground to correct a costly misunderstanding I carried for years: keeping the peace and making peace are not the same thing. One protects comfort. The other protects truth—and sometimes truth requires you to put on armor before you can offer an olive branch. Born from seven years of hard-fought lessons, the book offers clarity for anyone seeking to reconcile a relationship or decide how to move forward.

Truth you can feel

More than teaching.
An experience.

Edutainment is where biblical truth meets unforgettable storytelling.

Through story, humor, music, drama, puppetry, and creative media, Preacher Dale helps people not just hear the message—but experience it.

Preacher DalePREACHER DALE

Pastor · Author · Storyteller

He learned early:
people connect
with story.

Preacher Dale began telling Bible stories at thirteen—not behind a pulpit, but behind a puppet stage. He wrote scripts, built characters, and helped children laugh, think, and lean in.

Today, he pastors Hope Church in Caledonia, Missouri, and creates books, teaching, comedy, puppetry, music, and films that help people see themselves in Scripture.

“If you tell the story well enough, people won’t just understand the truth—they’ll see themselves in it.”

Newest Music Video

We Blow It Up

A country comedy music video with a serious message hiding under the humor.

The song features Preacher Dale and four of his characters, but the question beneath the laughter is one we all need to consider: how often do we take a little spark and turn it into a fire?

“Sometimes the thing stealing our peace is not what actually happened—it is the story we built around it.”
Read the message behind the song

A half-sentence becomes a whole story. A second-hand comment becomes a full-blown accusation. A tiny bump becomes a mountain. Sometimes we get angry over things we mostly made up.

That is not just a gossip problem. It can become a mental-health problem too. When assumptions run wild, they can feed anxiety, offense, bitterness, suspicion, and division.

What Scripture says

  • James 3:5–6: The tongue is small, but it can set a great fire.
  • Proverbs 18:13: “He who answers a matter before he hears it, It is folly and shame to him.”
  • Proverbs 18:17: The first side of a story can sound right until the other side is heard.
  • Proverbs 26:20: “Where there is no wood, the fire goes out; And where there is no talebearer, strife ceases.”
  • Philippians 4:8: Think on things that are true.

That word “true” matters. Not assumed. Not exaggerated. Not repeated because it sounded juicy. Not passed along because it made us feel important. True.

Before we repeat it, react to it, post about it, or get angry over it:

  • Do I know the whole story?
  • Is this mine to tell?
  • Am I helping heal it—or am I helping blow it up?
