Deep down inside, don’t you just wish someone would hear your cry for help? Big Boy Buddy Love was A DJ & Pro Wrestler. Also, a man struggling with severe depression for years. His life takes a giant turn, from a couch to a different stage and a life-changing ministry after he takes his cue from God. This is a story you don’t want to miss, the everyday extraordinary, Dave Ebert.

This verse was transforming for Dave: IJohn 5:13-“I write these things to yo who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life.”

Great quote from Dave:
“For many years, I used to use comedy to hide who I was, but now I use comedy to reveal who He is.”
to newbie improv people he would say:
“Your job is not to be funny. You do not have to be funny. Take that burden off of you, because improv is built on being human. Humans are funny. I think God built us as much for love and compassion as he did for comic relief.”
