Jim Dant is the Velveteen Rabbit of preachers.   After hearing him one time, audiences feel comfortable with him, even though his messages tend to be a bit edgy.   Life is edgy.  So is the Bible.  Jim merely reflects life and the Bible honestly.  People appreciate that.  Where life has frayed Jim, he shares it with a refreshing honesty.  His humanness invites others to join him on a journey of faith.  In a day when people are presented with a lot of new, fancy, eye-catching things happening from the pulpit, given a choice they will reach for Jim Dant, because ultimately, people are hungry for truth presented with integrity and authenticity. People know that's what's really real.

Michael Helms, Pastor, FBC Jefferson, Georgia

 "With a really good case of experiential religion, Jim Dant is a first class Christian preacher. Biblical and creative with content, relevant and courageous with applications, super with words, brief with time, and crazy with humor, he goes down easy for the listening ear in the pew. His gospel, however, is challenging, even life-changing."

Jim gave us his heart at our church's annual retreat. He was generous with his time, his life experiences and his excellent, knowledgeable teaching as he opened up the Word for our benefit. His messages alternately challenged, encouraged and invited us to engage our faith wholeheartedly . . . and laugh a lot along the way. Our people are asking when he can come back!

"Jim brought refreshment to our church family! He was able to communicate in a very deep way that "God is truly for us!" We have a better fellowship and a healthier church family because of Jim's time with us. Jim's honesty helped us to remove our religious masks. It has not yet been 24 hours since the last revival service ended and I have already heard from five different families sharing with me how much their burden was lightened because of Jim's messages. Best of all, Jim not only blessed our church but made me look good in the process--and that takes some doing. One gentleman told me I had hit a homerun by getting Jim to be our revival preacher."

“Jim is an immensely gifted preacher, teacher, and leader. His use of language is rich with imagery and creativity, and his love for the church and all of God's people make him a wonderful pastor, friend, and mentor.”

“Jim Dant has a gift for weaving the insights of the Gospel with daily life. Salted with stories from his years of pastoral experience, his sermons run the emotional continuum from tears to laughter, sorrow and joy. If I were to end up somehow in Macon, Georgia, I can tell you this: I would find a pew and listen to this preacher and pastor. He has something to say and a delightful way of saying it.”
