About Our Founder

Dave Stone, MBA, MA, has spent the last 18 years as a brother and priest stationed at EWTN Inc. in Birmingham, Alabama. In that time he was best known as the host of EWTN’s then popular LIVE Show, Life on the Rock.

Prior to that, Dave was steeped in the proverbial “cult of the body” cultural mileue of the 1980’s and 1990’s. With an Accounting Degree from Michigan State University, an MBA from California State University, an MA in Systematic Theology, and life experiences that would rock the common man, Dave has experienced much of what the culture has had to offer – the good, the bad, and the ugly.

With his broadbased lived-experiences, Dave is uniquely positioned to provide the expertise, experience, and leadership necessary to found and Chair the dynamic and bold works of Dave Stone Inc., helping others Living Life On The Rock! - Dave Stone website.

“Nations that at one time were rich in faith and vocations are now losing their identity…” - Pope Benedict XVI

“In the last forty years, the Church has undergone one of her greatest crises of all times. We all know that the dramatic situation of consecrated life has not been marginal in this state of affairs. In practically all Western countries, observers note that most religious communities are entering the end-game of a prolonged crisis whose outcome, they say, is already determined by the statistics.” - Franc Cardinal Rodé, CM

Holy Father St. Bruno…

“Many wish to come into this port, and many make great efforts to do so, yet do not achieve it. Indeed many, after reaching it, have been thrust out, since it was not granted to them from above.

Therefore, my brothers, you should consider it certain and well established that whoever partakes of this desirable good, should he in any way lose it, will grieve to his death, if he has any concern for the salvation of his soul.” -Letters of St. Bruno. Office of Readings.

Each year I read this text, despite the fact I know it by heart. 

Three past things:

The evil done.

The good left undone.

The time wasted.

Three present things:

The shortness of life.

The difficulty of saving your soul.

The few who will be saved.

Four future things:

Death, than which nothing is more certain.

Judgement, than which nothing is more strict.

Hell, than which nothing is more terrible.

Paradise, than which nothing is more delightful.
