Speakers

With record sales in the millions, Meece is the composer of modernday Christian classics such as “We Are the Reason,” Forgiven,” “Unknown Soldier,” “Learning to Trust,” and “My Father’s Chair.” He composed the Christmas classic “One Small Child” at the age of 14, having begun touring as a concert pianist at age 10.

Meece is a graduate of the Peabody Conservatory of Music in Baltimore, where he was a scholarship student. He says, “Obeying God is where it’s at. I am convinced that there has been a tremendous urgency placed upon my life by the Holy Spirit to get the Gospel out to as many people as possible. I’m convinced Jesus is coming back very soon.” David’s life has impacted the lives of millions of people worldwide, and his passion for excellence in the field of Contemporary Christian Music continues to leave a powerful legacy for generations to come.

Football, basketball, baseball, track...you name it, I was into it. As a kid, my whole life was sports. My favorite time was winning the New York City 50 yard dash and long jump when I was thirteen. When I got to college, I focused on football. And as a senior, I became an All-American at Northern Arizona University, and was drafted by the Denver Broncos. After the '89 season, I went to Detroit and then to the San Diego Chargers from '91-94. In 1995, it was off to the Jacksonville Jaguars and then in '96 I became an Oakland Raider.

In my first year in the NFL, I played in the Super Bowl, and I thought life just couldn't get any better. That was before I met some people in a Christian youth group who were totally sold out for God. I learned the most important thing in life was having a real relationship with Jesus Christ. Sure, I had accomplished a lot in my football career. But, when it came to my relationship with God, I was just going through the motions.

Then a guy named Gil Byrd entered my life; a guy who practiced what he preached. I began to realize that until I started doing what God was teaching me, I was always going to feel uncomfortable -- like something is missing. It is only when I obey God that I can feel confident. Even being a pro football player doesn't give you the courage God can give you. Through Gil's example, I set out to do some tough things. I decided to stop living with my girlfriend. We waited the next 13 months, until after our wedding, to live like married people.

Life as a professional football player can be great, but the truth is you're only as good as your last play. You realize the world -- and even some of your friends -- only love you for what you have, or what you can give them. But, my faith in God helps me deal with all this. I know that, through His Son, He loves me no matter what. And that's where real confidence and strength come from.
