Thank you for sharing, my dear brother. My husband of 56 years died 2 weeks ago and I miss him so much. And our 54 yr old son, addicted to alcohol, is homeless on the west coast, and he knows and I haven't heard from him. My heart is breaking and I couldn't do it without the Lord and my daughter and our family here. Thank you for the encouragement. I, too, wouldn't wish this pain on anyone. God bless as you go on your journey. The Lord's presence be so very real to you.
I have never heard of this story or this man before..... But within the first 3 minutes I could feel something was off... He stated that "we rushed her to hospital". Who is we and why didn't you call 911 instead of taking her yourself? Something ain't right and After I googled him I saw that my inkling wasn't off and there is speculation of involvement. I hope the wife receives true Justice
He did call 911. The paramedics took his wife to the hospital & Davey followed in his car 🚙 w/ their toddler son. He is an amazing man of God. If you read his more recent testimony, he explains in more detail.
I think he knew his wife was in danger and that’s why he stayed in his car supposedly talking to a friend. Why doesn’t he shed a tear? All he does is talk about himself.
Thank you for this outpouring of your heart. I lost my husband October 2020 and God gave me the same words “Lean into Me”. Sometimes the sorrow is overwhelming, but I must continue to keep close to God and settle under His wings. God bless you!
How’s that revival of the city & nation going, Davey? It’s sure as shit isn’t happening at Resonate. Way to memorialize Amanda’s life. Use & Discard is the name of the game for Davey.
I'd love to share my best friend's story with you. This family knows where to turn in times of grief. Family Story Little did our family of six know that Friday evening, September 24th, 2021, would be the last night our family would be complete. We laughed together, played games, sang, and enjoyed listening as our 16-year-old son, Ethan, played the piano for us. I packed a lunch for Ethan for a church mountain hike he was going on the following day. My mother (who was visiting from out of state) and I woke early with Ethan on Saturday morning. He hugged me and smiled, never pulling away or rushing me. He got in the car, waved, said he'd see me later and he loved me. It was hard to watch my "new driver" heading out on his own that morning. As Ethan pulled out of the gate, I turned to my mother and said, "It's just so hard letting go." Little did I know how much "letting go" I was really doing. That was the last time I saw Ethan. He did not make it home that evening. That afternoon, a friend tried to contact my husband, leaving an urgent message to call him back. He tried several times to return the call to no avail. As we were preparing supper, an overwhelming feeling of deep concern for Ethan filled my heart. I quietly blinked back tears. I glanced out the window, half expecting to see a police officer pull up to the house, but no one arrived. However, within a few minutes, a patrol car DID pull into the driveway. In my heart, I feared the worst. My husband and I went out to meet the officer, who confirmed our fears. Hesitantly, he told us our son had fallen off of a bluff and had succumbed to his injuries. Our hearts were crushed; they still are. Yet, in all of our brokenness, deep, continual grief and loneliness, our family has such a blessed Hope and assurance that we will see our dear son and brother again. You see, when Ethan was a young boy, he was saved; he put his faith in Jesus alone to forgive his sins and to take him to Heaven when he died. He realized some very important truths from the Bible that he would want to share with you. His Story Everyone is a sinner. Sin is any violation of God’s Law. God is holy, just and righteous, and He cannot allow sin in His presence. Ethan realized that he - like all of us - had sinned; and his sin separated Him from God. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ” (Romans 3:23) “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” (Romans 5:12) He understood that, because of his sin, he deserved to spend eternity in Hell. “For the wages of sin is death;” (Romans 6:23a) [Wages: price] “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8) Ethan believed that Jesus, God’s Son, paid the price for all sin when He died on the cross - because His sinless sacrifice was the only thing that could satisfy the just demands of a righteous, holy God. Jesus was buried in a borrowed tomb, but He arose the third day, triumphant over sin, death, and Hell. Jesus is alive today! “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9) Ethan was sorry for his sin, repented (turned), and received by faith the free gift that God offered to him. “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13) “...but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23b) Because of this great salvation, Ethan lived his life serving Jesus. He worked hard to spread this Good News to the world. He is alive in Heaven with Jesus today; and because of this great HOPE in Christ, we know we will see him again soon - not because he was a great kid, but because of his faith in the great Saviour! “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” (John 10:28) Your Story What about you? What if you had fallen to your death that day - What if you were to die today? Where will you spend eternity - Heaven or the Lake of Fire? There will not be any parties in the Lake of Fire. It is a place of eternal torment for those who reject God's Son. The Word of God is very clear that there is only One Way to Heaven. “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6) We did not know that Ethan would step into eternity that day; however, because he put his faith in Jesus alone for his salvation, Ethan was ready to go. Some day - perhaps today - you will take your last breath here on earth, and you will step into eternity. Where you spend eternity is determined by what you do with Jesus Christ. Will you accept Him or reject Him? You are not promised another day or another breath. Eternity begins soon - Are you ready? “...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved…” (Acts 16:31b) “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13) “(...behold, now is the day of salvation.)” (2 Corinthians 6:2c) ****************************** This testimony has been made into a tract form as well, so if you or your church are interested in having them to pass out, please go to libertyfaith.net and you will find the contact info there.

I believe he is innocent but he needs to be mindful of accountability and mindful of his heart and sincerity. I'm not judging but what I am saying is when you telling a story like that about your wife. How can you forget to say in your story you left the door unlock? That got to be on your conscious and on your mind. I'm not saying he is not free In Jesus but you have to recall your mistakes and give them to jesus. Maybe he have or maybe he haven't but I couldn't tell the story to anybody without mentioning my mistake and show remorse behind it. But that's just me. I'm praying for Pastor Davey!!!!
EMILIA G Shame on YOU. They arrested and convicted the men who did the robbery and the one who murdered her. Guess you didnt know that? Shame on you. The man who killed her confessed in detail. Her husband did not kill her.
The "man who killed her" did not confess and as of today, there are NO convictions. Two men took plea deals, still awaiting sentencing and the third man has yet to go to court, almost 3 years later. Stop spreading fake news Both Botv, state the facts and quit making up your own version.
Both Botv They haven’t convicted anybody. Jalen & Gordon are in the process of taking pleas deals & Taylor is slated to go on trial in Aug., 2019. The entire story is suspicious. Guess you didn’t know that? Shame on you.
Anyone would look exhausted after the trauma Davey experienced. What possible motive would this man of God have to commit such a heinous crime? God knows all & will be the ultimate & final judge.
Too bad his "testimony" doesn't include justice for Amanda and their daughter. Ever hear him talk about that? Ever hear him cry for justice? Nope, never. He's a pathetic excuse for a "Pastor". Any real "pastor" would be gathering help to prosecute the alleged three men who murdered his wife and unborn child, but nope, not Davey. Davey just wants the MONEY, new wife, new house, new daughter, new car etc. Absolutely incredible how everyone forgets about Amanda and pretends Davey is the man, the worst excuse for a husband and "pastor" that I've ever witnessed
Thank you so much , Brother, THANK GOD FOR JESUS! GOD BLESS You! ⚘

He hired them...
Jacki Rodriguez he is a sociopath if I’ve ever seen one
This is so moving and sad. Thank you for God giving you the strength to share this. May the Lord Jesus continue to be with you during your grief. 😇😇
The background of everything that happened screams dirty hands
Juiced up in the downlow.Beware to anyone else to expose his true behaviors.
I believe he is innocent but he needs to be mindful of accountability and mindful of his heart and sincerity.

“Rushed her to the hospital” ....
....... And Not call 911?😐
He Did call 911. The paramedics rushed her to the hospital.
HE LOOKS EXHAUSTED FROM LYING AND SLEEPING WITH THE GUILT OF MURDERING HIS PREGNANT FAITHFUL WIFE
EMILIA G Shame on YOU. They arrested and convicted the men who did the robbery and the one who murdered her. Guess you didnt know that? Shame on you. The man who killed her confessed in detail. Her husband did not kill her.
Both Botv He hired them. Get a clue. This man is a narcissistic psychopath.
The "man who killed her" did not confess and as of today, there are NO convictions. Two men took plea deals, still awaiting sentencing and the third man has yet to go to court, almost 3 years later. Stop spreading fake news Both Botv, state the facts and quit making up your own version.

In our pain God brings purpose
You need to find another profession dude.
Phycopaths and Narcissists distroy .
How does someone be a pastor?
Theresa Crafton The Same way Davey is becoming a life coach. Talk fast & no one will question his (lack of) credentials.
They’re called to preach
Blessed by your testimony Pastor Davey...
And you are a rscist6.

Very inspired testimony 😇
It's a sketchy case
Very sketchy.
