DAVE STEVENS FOUND HIS TRUE CALLING after a career in education and then a year traveling around Europe, as he says, "... arm-wrestling with God about going into the public healing practice of Christian Science."
When Dave and his family returned from their travels in 1989, they landed in Petaluma, California, where Dave lay down his arm-wrestling and began to advertise in the Journal as a full-time practitioner. He and his wife, Laurie, still make their home in this northern California community, and today Dave continues with his active practice, his travels around the country lecturing on Christian Science as a member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship, and holding annual classes on Christian Science.
Recently Dave and I talked about his journey to the practice and some of the life lessons he's learned along the way.
