Men are called to adventure, especially in today’s world of screens and non-stop technology. But what exactly is adventure? How do we find adventure in normal everyday life? How do we involve God in our adventures? Dan Zehner is the founder of the Anthem of the Adventurer and answers these questions and much more in this conversation. From his powerful trip to the beaches of Normandy to adventure in his home state, Dan shares his stories and the importance of adventure in the lives of men.
When Dan isn’t diving in the dark with Navy SEALs, rucking through the cold with a team carrying logs, or building something in his shop, he’s serving his wife and three kids in the ways that only he can in Lafayette, Indiana. Every day he’s showing others how to have an epic, adventurous life and love the journey with some powerful tools!
Dan started the Anthem of the Adventurer out of a deep-seated need for adventure in his life, and to share that journey with other men. Before joining SEAL Team Leaders, where he serves as the head coach in the leadership and teams class, Dan has worked with research centers at Purdue University for both the National Science Foundation and NASA, helping make our society more resilient to all the natural hazards nature throws at us on Earth as well as on the moon and Mars.
