A leader, coach, and builder helping others live and lead from a healthy foundation.
Dr. David Stine
Dr. David Stine is an investor, entrepreneur, author, pastor, and business development consultant based in Austin, Texas. With decades of experience leading and coaching organizations, David brings a rare blend of strategic insight, entrepreneurial drive, and spiritual depth to every conversation. As the founder of Advance Partners, he helps churches fund their vision of the future through data-informed fundraising campaigns and donor development coaching.
His passion for building extends beyond ministry into current ventures like Evergreen Café, a community gathering space that brings people together around creativity and connection, and Feast Coffee, a purpose-driven coffee company that fuels stories of impact one cup at a time.
David’s leadership philosophy is simple: strong things grow slowly. In a world obsessed with speed, he teaches leaders how to cultivate endurance, character, and faith—the true marks of lasting success.
A Louisiana native, David and his wife Taryn have lived all over the country and are currently adjusting to life deep in the heart of Texas—learning to trade “Geaux Tigers” for a little “Wreck ’Em Tech” spirit along the way.
They’re parents to four amazing kids: Isaac, Josiah, Asher, and Karis (the undisputed princess of the family). Now that their oldest has headed off to college, the Stines are navigating a new season filled with tennis matches, laughter, and the kind of chaos only a close family can create.
Through his coaching, writing, and ventures, David’s mission is to help leaders live with strength, lead with endurance, and leave a legacy built on faith.
Whether he’s consulting in a boardroom, mentoring a pastor, or sharing a quiet moment with his family over coffee, David Stine’s life is a reflection of one message…
