Dare 2 Share Mission Statement:
Energizing the Church to Mobilize youth to Gospelize their world!
About Dare 2 Share:
Dare 2 Share’s vision is to see every teen everywhere hear the gospel from a friend.
Dare 2 Share (D2S) believes that to truly make teens disciples of Christ, we must raise
the bar spiritually, calling them to make a difference by taking Jesus Christ and His
cause to reach the lost – THE Cause – seriously.
This is the powerful paradigm for change at D2S – to introduce this potent generation to
Jesus Christ and unleash them to spread the message to others.
D2S creates evangelism training events, free resources online, youth leader training,
books and other tools for youth ministry and evangelism to mobilize and equip teens
and youth leaders.

movement of gospel conversations from coast to coast by training and inspiring teens to

Arvada, CO – In an unprecedented event that will train more teens in one day than had been possible in
one year, Dare 2 Share is preparing for the inaugural Dare 2 Share LIVE event. On September 23, 2017,
Dare 2 Share LIVE will be broadcast from the flagship event in Denver, Colorado, and streamed to over
fifty host sites nationwide. Each individual site will feature their own live worship band and emcee trainer,
along with the direct feed of prominent speakers and artists such as Greg Stier, Propaganda, Tenth
Avenue North, Zane Black and The Skit Guys. Greg Stier, Founder and CEO of Dare 2 Share stated, “We
are not aware of any youth event that has attempted to engage students all across America, train them to
share their faith and then launch them out into their communities with the gospel, all at the same time.”
Over the past 25 years, Dare 2 Share has inspired and equipped over 1 million Christian teenagers and
youth leaders to engage in spiritual conversations through conferences, training curriculum and resources.
In this one-day event, Dare 2 Share LIVE will engage over 50,000 students and youth leaders to initiate
up to 300,000 gospel conversations in one day.
A teen-led evangelism movement, Dare 2 Share LIVE will be a national, multi-site training event that is
designed to spark a movement of gospel conversations and reach this next generation for Christ.
Utilizing technology that students are accustomed to, the event is structured to inspire teens as they are
trained to relationally share Christ, and then empower them to reach out to both their local communities
and their social networks.
“We wanted to create an experience that combined local community impact with the energy of a national
evangelism training conference,” explains Greg Stier, Founder and CEO of Dare 2 Share. “Dare 2 Share
LIVE is the rally point for a revival! We believe that teens are uniquely poised to make a positive impact
on their communities and this country. On September 23 we will see movements materialize as students
are unleashed and empowered to engage their circles of influence with the gospel of Jesus.
“With Dare 2 Share LIVE, we can train more teens in one day than we had previously been able to train in
an entire year. I believe we can change our nation in one day. The gospel is that powerful and teens are
that revolutionary.”

Greg Stier Bio:
Greg Stier is founder and CEO of Dare 2 share Ministries
(D2S), a ministry committed to energizing the church to
mobilize youth to gospelize their world. Greg has a
reputation for coming alongside youth ministries to help
them reach today’s teens in unique and effective ways.
Because of his 25+ years in youth ministry, Greg is widely
viewed as an authority on teen issues and adolescent
spirituality. Over the course of the last 25 years, Greg has
spoken to over 1,000,000 teens and youth leaders in
major venues across the nation and heard countless
stories of their struggles and triumphs.
Greg’s commitment to energizing the church to mobilize
youth is rooted in the transforming power of the
gospel. Raised in a violent, inner-city family of body-builders, he didn’t have a dad and never
felt like he measured up because his biceps weren’t big enough! But one by one, he saw his
tough, urban family of “thugs” come to know Christ, and that ignited a passion in Greg to see all
lost people come to know Jesus.
As a former church planter and pastor, Greg believes in the power and potential of the church to
transform entire cities with the gospel. As a former youth leader, he is committed to seeing this
transformation erupt from the next generation.
Living just minutes away from the scene of the 1999 Columbine High School shootings, the
tragedy triggered a pivotal turning point in Greg’s career. Following those events, he resigned
his pastorate at a church in Arvada, Colorado, to pursue Dare 2 Share full time. Since then,
Greg and the ministry of D2S have inspired and equipped thousands of youth leaders to build
Gospel Advancing Youth Ministries, creating a movement that is seeing the gospel transform
students, churches and communities across the country and around the world.
Greg is well known for his ability to inspire others to action by communicating biblical truth
through amazing true-life stories and side-splitting humor. This ability to connect with youth
leaders has made him a nationally known and sought-after speaker and author who targets the
heart of youth ministry issues and helps youth leaders create ministries with true Kingdom
impact. As a dynamic communicator, Greg has had the privilege of appearing on several
national television and radio shows.
