Steve
Diehl
Speaker and Author

Steve’s
messages and style come out of over thirty years of ministry, over
twenty five years of marriage, six children, a degree in Biology,
memorization of over 120 chapters of the Bible and a quiet intimacy
with Jesus Christ. His unswerving passion is to help people discover
the vital truths of life that enable people to experience the reality
of a loving God who heals and transforms lives.
People
find Steve easy to listen to because he is able to draw from many
facets of life to make key, biblical truths both understandable
and practical. While educated, Steve’s style is simple and
appealing. People enjoy listening to Steve not only because of his
sincerity, conviction and animated presentations, but also because
they are consistently challenged with new insights and new perspectives
on familiar themes. Steve is able to help people see that the Bible
makes sense and makes sense for their lives.

transformation by teaching people how to practice of the full range
of biblical forgiveness. Steve helps people develop a lifestyle
