Our Mission
Disciple Science is crowdfunded non-profit media production company. We believe integrating science and Christian faith can inspire a fuller knowledge of God.
Our Story
Online media is full of excellent (and some not so excellent) educational content. YouTube has transitioned from a source of silly entertainment to a critical resource for educators across the spectrum of age and topic. As a biology professor at a private Christian university, Dale appreciated and regularly used the myriad resources available on Christianity and scripture and on science and technology but noticed a big hole, there is very little good content integrating science with Christian faith. We were inspired to create great video that would teach science through the lens of Christianity, that would show that science need not distract us from our journey of faith, and that there is deep resonance between what we can know of God through scripture and our understanding of God through nature. We recruited help from a few friends, colleagues and former students and created Disciple Science to show how integrating science and Christian faith can inspire a fuller knowledge of God.
