The Rugged Path
About Dan Black
Dan Black is not who you would expect to be hosting a Christian podcast.
He spent years as a tattoo artist, working in a world far removed from church
pews and Sunday mornings. He served in the military. He lived through the kind
of seasons that leave marks — not just on the skin. Faith was not something
he grew up with or arrived at easily. It was something he found, or more
accurately, something that found him, at the end of a long and difficult road.
That road is exactly why The Rugged Path exists.
When Dan started this podcast, he was not interested in the kind of faith
conversations that make everything sound manageable. He wanted to talk to
people who had been through real things — and find out how God showed up in
the middle of it. He wanted to ask the questions that polite company usually
avoids. And he wanted to create a space where people who have never felt
comfortable in a traditional church setting could hear stories that sounded
like their own.
The Rugged Path is the show Dan wishes had existed when he was still on the
road that led him here.
