Speaking
Helping people slow down, see clearly, and become more like Jesus.
Dave Ellis is a pastor, writer, and host of the | Practice podcast. Through preaching, teaching, and conversation, he helps people rediscover the deeper invitation of the Christian life — not simply believing the right things, but becoming the kind of people Jesus calls us to be.
Dave speaks with honesty, warmth, and thoughtful depth, weaving together biblical reflection, personal story, and practical insight. Over the years he has also created and led programmes within rehabilitation centres, walking alongside people seeking freedom from addiction and helping them rediscover their identity, dignity, and hope in Christ.
Whether speaking in churches, conferences, leadership gatherings, or recovery communities, Dave’s aim is to create space for people to pause, reflect, and notice what God may already be doing in their lives.
At the heart of his message is spiritual formation — the quiet and often hidden work through which God shapes our lives as we learn to slow down, see clearly, and become more like Jesus.
Speaking Themes:
Dave regularly speaks on themes that explore the journey of spiritual formation and the invitation to become more like Christ in everyday life.
Don’t Just Believe. Become
What if the goal of the Christian life is not simply believing the right things, but becoming the kind of people Jesus invites us to be?
Spiritual Formation in a Distracted Age
How do we learn to notice God in a world filled with hurry, noise, and constant distraction?
Learning to See Clearly
Exploring how our attention shapes our lives and how spiritual practices help us see ourselves, others, and God more clearly.
Slowing Down to Walk with Jesus
Why transformation rarely happens through striving harder, but through learning to slow down and pay attention to what God is already doing.
Identity, Grace, and the Journey Home
How the gospel reshapes our understanding of who we are and invites us into a life of freedom, healing, and restoration.
