Dr. Dav Knows All The Things
About
Dr. Dav Knows All the Things is a Scripture-centered, conversational podcast featuring Dr. Bryan Davenport—pastor, theologian, and record-holding powerlifter—who brings decades of study, ministry experience, and spiritual formation training to every episode. Dr. Dav holds a B.A. in Management and Organizational Leadership, a Master of Divinity (MDiv), a Master of Theology (ThM), and a Doctor of Ministry (DMin). He is also a Certified Spiritual Director and Certified Biblical Counselor (both in process), and—just for fun—a Washington State record holder in both bench press and back squat. His blend of theological depth, pastoral heart, and very real humanity shapes every conversation. Each week, various staff hosts from Heritage Church NW sit down with Dr. Dav to revisit recent sermons, unpack biblical miracles, and explore the spiritual questions people are genuinely wrestling with. Every conversation encourages listeners to slow down, sit in the “wow” of what Jesus is doing, and discover the layers of truth, hope, and transformation woven throughout the Bible. If you’re hungry for thoughtful dialogue, grounded theology, and practical insight that meets real life, this podcast is for you.
