THE PASTOR
For more than twenty years David B. Whitlock, Ph.D. has been encouraging people with a powerful message of hope that tells people they can become all they are meant to be as they find themselves in Jesus Christ. His message reminds people that God has good plans of success for them. It's a message that David has learned from his own life and one he is helping people apply to their lives.
Born the youngest of four boys, David's father was a dentist and his mother a homemaker. At the age of six David and his older brother, Doug, were in a car accident together. Doug, eighteen months older than David and his constant companion, was killed in that accident. That tragic event, along with the death of his grandmother less than a year later, led young David to ask about the eternal nature of things. In time, as a result of his questions as a child experiencing the loss of loved ones, David made a decision to become a follower of Jesus Christ.
During his adolescent years, David traveled with his parents to various countries where David's father, a dentist, and mother volunteered their time to help others. Those travels took David to Zimbabwe, Yemen, India, and the Dominican Republic. Not only did David enjoy a wide-range of experiences, but he gained a knowledge and appreciation for the beliefs of others. David preached his first public sermon in Bangalore, India, when he was a senior in high school.
David graduated from Baylor University (B.A.), Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (M.Div.), Princeton Theological Seminary (M.Th.), and Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (PhD). David has ministered in churches in Texas, Oklahoma, Alabama, Louisiana, and Kentucky. He has also participated in mission work in Honduras.
In 2000, David founded David Whitlock Ministries, Inc. His desire was to help people find and reach their full potential. This ministry has expanded David's efforts to reach people with the positive message of hope in Jesus Christ.
Since 2002, David has been pastor of Lebanon Baptist Church in Lebanon, Kentucky. In addition, David teaches in the Theology Department at Campbellsville University in Campbellsville, Ky.
In 1981 David married Katri Hudspeth. They had two children, Mary-Elizabeth and David Junior. Katri succumbed to a six year battle with cancer in 2003. David is now married to Lori Whitlock (the former Lori Wilburn, David's high school sweetheart) and they have four children: Mary-Elizabeth, David Jr., Harrison and Madison( David adopted Lori's children, Harrison and Madison in 2005). The Whitlock's currently reside in Lebanon, Kentucky. When David is not speaking, writing, or teaching, he is spending time with his family.
David's warm and inviting style captures his audience's attention as well as their hearts. He enthusiastically communicates his conviction that people can find God's positive purpose for them and live a truly successful life.
