Dave’s Designs come from the founder of Energize Ministries, Dave Annan.
Dave was our beloved pastor who fought a courageous four year battle
with cancer. In the final stages, when he was too weak to do anything else he would spend days, weeks, and months doodling and sketching out visual images related to his prayers and devotional time with the Lord.
We’ve printed some of his designs and encouragement onto some awesome T-shirts!
For a limited time we have opened an Energize Store where Dave’s Designs, one of a kind, T-shirts can be purchased.
All proceeds from his shirts and designs support Energize Ministries and our commitment to providing preventive care and prayer for our nation’s pastors and their families.

Not only did we host our regular event in Lexington, NC., but we also added a duplicate event in Johnson City, TN, at the luxurious Carnegie Hotel. Both events created a red carpet, five-star
Last month we were invited by Lifeway research to take part of pastor care ministry summit at their headquarters in Nashville, TN. What a privilege for our work to be recognized as a vital part of encouraging our nation’s pastor and helping to sustain healthy and vibrant ministry leaders. The term “flourishing in ministry” became
While it’s the “Most Wonderful Time of the Year”, Christmas can also the most stressful time of the year for many of us. We all keep pretty busy schedules year-round and the Holiday season can often add a heap of new obligations and responsibilities on top of days that were already plenty full. We long
We regularly pray for our family and friends when they’re sick and we pray for God’s comfort for those hit by disaster, but how often do you pray for your pastor? Did you know your pastor needs your prayers too? After a great sermon on Sunday, on Monday the pastor rests, but on Tuesday the
People are attracted to charismatic leaders. Some even strive to be a part of their “inner circle” to feel important. Many pastors have been blessed with a charismatic leadership style, and often without their knowing it, may appear to have an inner circle as well. Maybe you’ve wanted to share with your pastor how much
In the book, Pastors are People Too, authors Jimmy Dodd and Larry Magnuson suggest that we, as churchgoers, each make a list of 20 expectations we have for our pastors. Your list might include things like: he should deliver powerful and relevant sermons, he should be there if my family has a crisis, he should
Lots of people assume that pastors live the “Life of Riley.” After all, when they’re not jetting around the world speaking at churches and visiting missionaries, they’re either out playing golf or lounging in their office reading or chatting with church members and staff, right? Not quite.
