"Dannah Gresh's ministry to this generation is strategic. When it comes to our kids being at risk in an environment of no-holds-barred sensuality, we as parents, pastors and educators are in desperate need of help. Both in style and content she is a perfect fit and a capable partner in the cause of purity!"
Joe Stowell,
President, Cornerstone University, Grand Rapids, Michigan
"When Dannah speaks, girls listen! She delivers truth wrapped in fun, spontaneity and laughter. We’ve used her as a keynote speaker on our mom/daughter cruise, missions trip and broadcasts. She hits a homerun every time! She’s the queen at getting girls attention on stuff that really matters."
Susie Shellenberger,
founding editor of BRIO magazine and current editor of SUSIE magazine, susiemag.com
"Dannah is just such a great communicator. I had the chance to look around at the girls while she was teaching, and their eyes were locked!"
Geoff Safford,
New Hope Church (formerly Crystal E Free)
“Mom, Did You Wait?”
I was driving down the highway listening to the familiar voice of Dr. James Dobson. Suddenly the host asked his guest, “What is the most common question a young girl will ask her mom about sex?” Without delay the woman responded, “Mom, did you wait?”
I pulled my minivan to the side of the highway and allowed ten years of tremendous denial and grief engulf me. I reached for my brand new baby girl in the back seat and held her as I cried. I would not lie to my little girl...
My heart’s desire was, is and always will be to live a lifestyle of purity, but in high school I detoured from that pursuit long enough to get tangled up by lust. Like no other sin, moments of unbridled passion had intertwined my life painfully into another’s.
The evening that I heard Dr. Dobson’s program, it took me three hours to tell my husband in the darkness of my bedroom. Satan had me cornered into a prison of blackmail until the very moment that my lips uttered a long-awaited confession. Oh, how I wish I had done that sooner! Christ’s forg iveness finally verbalized in the midst of my husband’s warm familiar embrace suddenly began to heal the deep tear in my heart.
Within a few weeks, a woman in my church—unaware of my new healing—was asking me to do a purity event for a few teen girls. Since that day, I’ve been using my healing to equip teens to live lives of purity and heal from moments of past impurity. The Lord has expanded my ministry to coaching moms to raise pure, whole daughters!
The evangelical chastity movement finds a champion in Dannah Gresh!”

National Expert in Abstinence and Modesty
“Everyone has the right to promote their position. It seems contradictory to say you’re open minded by handing these girls condoms and not giving me the right to encourage them not to reach for them!”
-Dannah quoted in Chicago Tribune, January 2008
A frequent guest for national radio, TV and print mediums, Dannah is called upon to defend the conservative position of abstinence in national newspapers and magazines like the Chicago Tribune, TIME and Women’s Wear Daily. Her conversational and edgy interview style generates tremendous listener response on radio and television! FamilyLife Today, Midday Connection and Focus on the Family have included their interviews with Dannah in “best of” annual showcases. Dannah has also been a featured contributor to many national magazines.
