Speakers in Singles Ministry

Speaker of the Month: Pastor Dan Houk, Co-Author of Intentional Relationships for Singles

Contact Dan
I experienced the pain of divorce after my twenty-five-year marriage failed. My healing and restoration journey led me to a new marriage to Teresa and a new ministry that we launched together. Together, Teresa and I have nine children, eleven grandchildren, and lots and lots of excitement. I have been in full-time ministry for over thirteen years and served as the single adults' pastor in one of the largest singles ministries in the United States. I also led our marriage and family ministry, specializing in parents of teenagers and blended families. Our singles ministry focused on helping people deepen their relationship with God and develop healthy and fulfilling relationships in their lives. 
 
Our singles ministry had three main categories—those never-married, divorced, or widowed. Those who went through DivorceCare® would heal from the divorce, but if they got into new relationships, they often had the same old dynamics that led to the divorce. Widows and widowers and those who had never married seem to have the same experiences. So, we wrote a curriculum for classes on the development of healthy relationships. 
 
Over time, we taught thousands of single adults these principles and saw them experience greater relational satisfaction with friends, family, and dating lives. While leading the singles ministry, we saw over a hundred healthy and happy marriages with almost no divorces. People were intentional with their relationships.
 
I have witnessed some fantastic endings to their stories:
  • Marriages that were on the brink of divorce recover and thrive
  • Single moms or dads find happiness in a blended family
  • Never-marrieds finally find their one true love and get married late in life
  • Singles find peace and contentment in their singleness 
  • People happier and more confident people 
 
I hope to see singles grow and thrive through Intentional Relationships.
