Endorsements

Dustin Rivenbark is a dedicated Youth Advocate and Speaker known for his impactful messages that resonate with audiences of all ages. Recently, he engaged students at Leipsic Middle and High School, inspiring them to pursue their life goals with unwavering determination.  Dustin’s talk was not only about setting aspirations but also about the importance of faith and resilience in overcoming obstacles. His personal experiences serve as powerful examples of persevering through life’s challenges, instilling hope and motivation in his listeners. Through his dynamic presentation, Rivenbark empowers young individuals to believe in themselves and to actively work towards achieving their dreams.

With over 15 years in education, this was the most honest, relatable, needed, genuine, professional development I have ever been around. Dustin brings a wholestic approach that impacts the listener in their mind, body, and spirit and allows them to think of themselves and their needs in order to be better version of themselves to impact the next generation of students. His “boots on the ground” and “Day in, Day out” phrases and activity allow individuals to say yes to the calling on their life to serve and impact this generation of students. His message is so real and poignant that it reminds educators of their calling and their purpose. I highly recommend this PD for any leader of an organization that is looking to support, uplift, and breath energy and life into their staff.

What an amazing assembly Dustin led! He shared his story of overcoming pain and struggles with our students giving them a plan of how developing a vision and establishing a rhythm of energy can change their lives. It was obvious that the students took his message to heart. Changing lives is Dustin’s mission.

We are so grateful that Dustin came and spoke to our student body at The Lakeside School.  Through his words, he helped our students to realize that they can all dream big and gave them practical steps to put that dream into reality!  We look forward to him coming back!

Dustin has a gift which allows him to relate to all people and therefore deliver a message that is both timely and meaningful.  As Dustin spoke to our faculty and staff at DHS, I knew this was exactly the message we needed at that moment.  He laid out for us the ways in which we must first take care of ourselves in order to be the influential people we have been called to be, because tomorrow’s leaders are depending on us and we cannot grow weary in fighting for them.  Dustin’s 6 principles are an incredible foundation for anyone to apply, but they are so powerful when seen and applied through the eyes of an educator. After our session with Dustin, the number one comment I heard from our teachers was, “That was the most powerful PD I have ever experienced.” His message was a great reminder of the importance of building relationships and trust. One thing Dustin shared that I will remind myself of every day is: “This is M.I.E. problem”.

Words are inadequate to express my heartfelt gratitude for the precious time you gave to our faculty, staff, and students yesterday. Your words of encouragement quickly reminded me that HCHS is, indeed, my mission field! So many of our students encounter obstacles on a daily basis that hinder their ability to excel to their true potential. Thank you for the encouragement, praise, and love that you shared with them yesterday. Thank you for sharing with our students that they were put here with a purpose. Also, thank you for challenging the faculty and staff to rise to their intended purpose.
Dustin, you are always welcome at HCHS.

“I had the pleasure to share the stage in Mexico with Dustin Rivenbark at My Make real estate REAL Annual conference this past October. Immediately when Dustin met me on stage and was handed the microphone he went from just giving the testimony he was asked to give, to inspiring and motivating EVERYONE in the building including myself! Some people speak to your ears and Dustin speaks to your heart! Dustin turned a 10 minute testimony into a passionate, heart felt message that will resonate in the hearts of Everyone who attended!!! For a lifetime!”

“After reading my friend Dustin’s book, “Courage and Redemption”, I thought it would be a good idea for me to bring him in to talk to my sales staff. The 6 Battle Principles he highlights in the story of Joshua are very similar to those needed and used in our daily lives. They can be applied to our personal lives, as well as our careers. Dustin speaking to our staff gave them a different perspective; from the outside looking in, and how they can use the principles in his book, if applied to their daily lives, to live a life of freedom. Everyone was motivated and encouraged by his words and his personal story. We look forward to having him come back and speak to us in the future.”

“Having Dustin speak to our student athletes has truly been a blessing. He has a unique way of relating to each individual even when speaking to a large group. He brings a great mixture of inspiration, motivation, and spiritual truth in his speaking. Dustin has been a true inspiration to my athletes and myself.”
