The Biblical Path to Your Desired Future
Dr. Henry Cloud joins Michael Easley to discuss leadership, vision, psychology, faith, and how people move toward a desired future.
In this episode, Michael Easley sits down with Dan Bolin to share a deeply personal story of loss, faith, and enduring hope. Dan recounts the journey of his daughter’s leukemia diagnosis, years of treatments, and the heartbreaking day she passed away. Through his family’s story, we see the raw reality of grief—anniversaries that reopen wounds, moments when well-meaning friends don’t know what to say, and the quiet ways God’s grace holds us together.
Dan reflects on how seasons of calm prepare us for storms, how couples grieve differently, and how the support of a close-knit community makes survival possible. He draws comfort from Scripture—passages like 1 Peter 1 and Habakkuk—that remind believers suffering is temporary and refining, and that ultimate joy awaits in Christ.
For anyone walking through loss or coming alongside someone who is, Dan’s story offers perspective: grief is real, storms are fierce, but God’s promises remain steady.
Dr. Dan Bolin has dedicated his life to Christian leadership, service, and encouragement. He spent 25 years at Pine Cove Christian Camps near Tyler, Texas, including 14 years as executive director. He then served a decade as president of KVNE/KGLY Christian radio stations, now known as Encouragement Media Group.
For eleven years, Dan was CEO of Christian Camping International, advancing Christian camping ministries in 60 countries and reaching an estimated 13 million campers. Today, he leads Refueling in Flight Ministries, a nonprofit focused on supporting his writing, speaking, and event leadership.
An accomplished author, Dan has written eleven books and speaks regularly at ministry conferences. He pens a weekly devotional blog—Refueling in Flight—and teaches Outdoor Ministries in both academic and practical settings.
Dan holds degrees from Seattle Pacific University, Dallas Theological Seminary, LeTourneau University, and a Doctor of Ministry from Denver Seminary. He and his wife, Cay, reside in Culpeper, Virginia, close to their daughter, son-in-law, and two beloved grandchildren.
