Welcome!
*** I’ll be on Sabbatical May through July, so there won’t be any new content. But feel free to poke around the site. There is still lots of material.***
My name is Steve Davis. As you’ll see on this page, I like to teach. This site is loaded with my teaching on everything from marriage and intimacy to Biblical prophecy. If you look around long enough, you may find a sermon on how the church should address LGBTQ individuals, a series on racism, and a book on military families. There’s also a daily, one-minute devotional I call the Jumpstart and a few other tidbits.
So poke around, subscribe to the podcast, and learn a few things about how to let your faith and Bible knowledge impact your world in meaningful ways. (Also feel free to check out the church I pastor. I like it a lot.)
2022: Potential for an Amazing Year in Missions
It looks like I’ll be taking three mission trips this year:
- March: Training pastors and church leaders in Bolivia.
- May: Vision trip to evaluate potential ministry partnerships in Iceland.
- June-July: Teaching at a seminary and working with pastors in Armenia.
Prayers would be appreciated, and if you’d like to contribute, here’s the link.
The Jumpstart
The spiritual equivalent of that first cup of coffee…
The easiest way to get the Jumpstart three days a week is to follow me on Instagram or Facebook.
You can also stay caught up on the Jumpstart with Two Weeks’ Worth of Jumpstarts.
To see the Jumpstart archive–as well as a few Back Deck Bible Studies–click here.
And if you’re using the Jumpstart as part of God’s Big Story, click here.

It started my back deck, during the Covid lockdown. Not knowing what else to do, I strapped my phone to my deck and started recording a Bible study on Facebook Live. We focused on digging deep enough to try to hear what the original hearers heard and how they applied the Bible in their world so we could better live it in ours.
Things have changed a little. I record in my studio, not my back deck, and it’s no longer weekly.
But we still investigate the Bible from that same fresh perspective. Not content with surface discussion or simply rephrasing what cultural Christianity says, we dig deep and strive to apply what we learned.
That’s what the Back Deck Bible Study is all about.
(Here’s a direct link to the study on Revelation.)
