Speaking ScheduleJuly 10, 2005 Dwight Ozard is currently taking bookings to speak to your church, conference, retreat, festival or corporate gathering. Over the last 20 years Ozard has taken spoken across North America to audiences as large as 10,000 and as small as a handful. In all cases, and with all audiences, one things is always consistent: Ozard brings passion for Christ and a passionate quarrel with most of those who claim to believe in him. Dwight Ozard is the owner and operator of a compassionate heart, a generous soul, and a stasis-busting mind. Ozard also brings a finely tuned--but never squishy--empathy for the weaknesses of the ordinary believer in our struggles to be faithful, and his writing and preaching work is committed to finding grace in our ordinary day-to-day lives and work. He is engaging and thought-provoking, funny, frequently iconoclastic, biblically sound but drenched in contemporary issues and culture, rarely predictable but always grace-laden. "Dwight is my friend. Even though we don't get to see each other very often, he has a way of saying things that stick with me for years at a time. He may be the closest thing I know to a prophet. I'm just waiting for him to run through the streets naked or get swallowed by a big fish." Dwight has addressed Canada's largest mainline congregation, small Pentecostal churches that meet in a bar, mid-sized Baptist fellowships, conservatives, charismatics, liberals and malcontents, and donned robes and gowns and preached for Anglicans and Episcopalians. He has spoken at large Christian Rock Festivals to crowds of thousands covered in dust and mud, to gatherings of Habitat for Humanity homebuilders, to would-be punk-rockers in an innercity warehouse, to trying-too-hard-to-be-cool youth workers who want to "reach" them, and to business men and blue-hair'd blue-bloods in high-society cathedrals. In all of these contexts, Dwight is committed to finding that core insight that will challenge and encourage his listeners.
"(Dwight's sermon was) among the most compelling sermons delivered from this pulpit." (the late) Dr. James Guest, Clerk of Session, 1992 Metropolitan United Church, London, ON Canada Dwight is also now available to speak to corporate gatherings and events, and professional and ministry gatherings. Many talk about bridging the gap between church and culture. Dwight Ozard does it, pointedly, yet gracefully. Dwight's the right choice for organizations looking to make a difference.
