Christ is better." I knew Daniel when he was a middle school student and watched him struggle into an embrace of this truth. It was, and is, a beautiful story that moves me to wonder and gratefulness. His story will show you that your worth in Christ is better than all the arms in the universe.

Biography
Daniel was born without arms but God is being glorified in Daniel’s difference and has given him a thriving life. He has adapted to a world made for people with arms by using his feet to do everything others do with their hands. From writing, eating and driving all the way to hunting and fishing - “I can’t” is not in his vocabulary.
With 23 years of professional speaking experience and as he speaks to more than 200,000 people every year, he shares a message of hope and strength that can come even in the most difficult circumstances imaginable. Daniel connects to audiences in a powerfully motivational, yet down to earth way of communicating. He has spoken for churches, public and private schools, conferences, universities, corporations and professional sports teams.
He has authored two books, My Affliction For His Glory and Endure and his writing has been featured by Fox News, The Gospel Coalition, Focus on the Family, Desiring God, and Church Leaders among others. He has appeared on national television programs like The Story with Martha MacCallum, The 700 Club and The Encouraging Word.

Excuse-Free Living
We always focus on the things that we can’t do, but what if I told you that “I can’t” is just an excuse to quit? By using the back drop of my life of learning to make my feet do what was meant for hands, I push you toward a life that doesn’t make excuses. I’ll show there is a way to keep going, problem solve and recruit teammates to help you along the way.
Made For More
We live in the most comparative generation in human history. We look at the lives of others and we see their talents, possessions and platform and feel like we can never measure up. We are looking in the wrong place when we look to others to find our value and identity. You were made for more than to be a copycat, you have a real purpose to walk in starting right now.
A Life of Courage and Purpose
Life is incredibly hard and only gets more difficult when we try to navigate trials in our life. In this talk, Daniel gives a roadmap forward through the hurt and darkness and into courage and purpose.
