Dan Salter serves as the Teaching Pastor at The Measuring Line, where he shares insights from years of leading Bible studies. For the past almost two decades, he has also been the Director of TruthWhys Ministries. His academic journey includes graduate studies at Bob Jones Seminary, Southern Evangelical Seminary, and Trinity College of the Bible.

Dan can’t recall a time when he didn’t believe in Christ. Raised in a Christian home, he was blessed to experience both theology and Christian living as deeply held and cherished values. His mother modeled a Christ-like life of love and selflessness—living for the good of others. Meanwhile, his father instilled in him a passion not only for knowing what to believe, but also for understanding why. Dan’s father couldn't abide legalistic compliance, inspiring Dan to pursue each conviction with thoughtful study and personal ownership.

Dan met his wife, Becky, during college, and she has been a constant source of encouragement and support ever since. Her influence pushed Dan beyond being a solitary student of the Bible, motivating him to share the insights God was revealing to him. Her unwavering dedication to Christian values has been a key factor in Dan’s journey toward teaching. They have two grown children: Chris, who is pursuing a master’s in clinical counseling at Columbia International University after teaching in Hawaii for several years, and Angela, who creates content and offers support for My Joy Speaks, an early learning leadership coaching and training initiative led by Mecca Johnson.

Recently retired from a long career in the energy industry as a consultant for utility regulators, Dan’s true passion has always been studying, understanding, and sharing God’s purpose, design, and hope for humanity. Dan finds great joy in preparing and teaching the rich, overflowing truths of Christian philosophy and foundations. The Measuring Line provides a wonderful opportunity for him to continue his pursuit of truth and share it with others. Ultimately, Dan teaches for Christ. “For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory forever. Amen.” (Romans 11:36)
