The Reach West Radio show welcomes Carl Dahlen, a part-time pastor at Christ Presbyterian Church in Gardnerville, NV. Carl returned to parish ministry after 40 years of many other professional incarnations including community theater, addiction counselor, rural economic development, grant writing, fundraising and leadership development. And he’s also my father-in-law. Carl’s story is inspiring as it’s one of embracing life’s highs, adapting to the lows and the importance of family first. It’s a story about coming home to God and the Christian ministry. His faith has given him a greater confidence in his work, and this confidence has given him the freedom to risk more. It’s never too late to stretch into the light.
