About Dr. David McDonald
I’ve been a pastor for 30 years as well as a college professor, seminary lecturer, author, and storyteller.
My work has been featured in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and Time Magazine. I began Fossores Innovation and Design, my coaching and training network, to enliven the dreams of preachers, leaders, and creatives.
If you’re tired of ministry that feels more like business-as-usual than a provocative cooperation with God; or, if you still have as-of-yet unfulfilled noble ambitions, sacred fantasies, and holy dreams then I can help you rekindle your fervor and reengage your calling with fresh fire.
I love working with people who care, doing work that matters forever.
If that’s you, you may have just found your new home...
