It is with great enthusiasm and conviction that I give my full endorsement for Daren Mehl as a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I have known Daren for several years and have witnessed firsthand his unwavering devotion to Christ and his steadfast commitment to proclaiming biblical truth with both courage and compassion.
Daren is a man who boldly stands for the biblical worldview in a culture that often rejects it. He speaks the truth in love, calling people to repentance and pointing them to the freedom and transformation found only in Jesus. His personal testimony of redemption—once walking in brokenness but now restored by the grace and truth of Christ—is a living witness of God’s power to renew the human heart.
Through his work with Cornerstone Standard, Daren has demonstrated exceptional leadership and vision in equipping believers to engage today’s moral and cultural challenges with biblical fidelity. His ministry continues to influence churches and communities across the nation as he faithfully teaches, counsels, and strengthens pastors, families, and individuals to stand firm in truth and love.
Together with his wife, Rhoda, Daren continues to minister hope and healing to those who are sexually or relationally wounded, embodying Christ’s call to “set the captives free.” His compassion and theological depth shine through every aspect of his work, offering a clear picture of God’s redeeming love.
I am deeply grateful for Daren’s friendship, his partnership in ministry, and his consistent witness for the truth of God’s Word. His leadership, discernment, and faithfulness are a blessing to the Church and an inspiration to all who desire to see lives transformed by the gospel.
With wholehearted confidence, I endorse Daren Mehl as a minister of the gospel and a servant-leader advancing the Kingdom of God in our generation.
As the Executive Director of the Association of Christians in Health and Human Services (ACHHS), I am honored to offer my full endorsement of Daren Mehl. Daren has been an invaluable asset to our organization, graciously providing his expertise in accounting and technical support on a pro bono basis. His contributions were vital to the success of several of our national conferences, where his resourcefulness and dedication were on full display.
Beyond his technical skills, I know Daren to be a man of profound integrity and intelligence. He is a ‘wonderful Christian’ in the truest sense—bright, honest, and deeply committed to his calling. His public testimony is a powerful, sincere narrative of his journey, reflecting a heart that truly desires to serve the Lord in every capacity as a pastor and minister.
Daren possesses a unique ability to bridge practical needs with spiritual leadership. Whether he is solving a complex technical issue or sharing the gospel, he does so with a spirit of excellence. I highly recommend Daren to any ministry or organization; his blend of professional skill and pastoral heart is a rare and a blessing to the Body of Christ.
I want to give my whole-heart endorsement for Daren Mehl as a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The truth of the matter here, Daren is a minister of the gospel and has great leadership qualities of networking and courageously defending the truth of Biblical Orthodox worldview on human sexuality. I really appreciate Daren and his wife Rhoda for their constant support of our ministry and the hope for the sexually and relationally broken, wounded and sinful. So very grateful!

It is with enthusiastic pleasure that I endorse Daren Mehl for ministry. I have known Daren Mehl to be an inspirational minister who boldly shares the gospel through the power of Jesus.
He shares his testimony, the truth of the Word, and cultural influences in the darkest places where many fear to share the gospel, but where so many need to hear the truth. Having lived as a gay identified man for many years, Jesus has turned his life around, revealing a true man of God. Daren’s life is a powerful testament to the work Jesus can do in our lives to set the captives free and restore the true identity of God’s original intent. Now a husband and father, I am encouraged as I see him passionately sharing Jesus with those who are eager to hear the truth of a Savior who saves and a Lord who restores. His sharp discernment of the cultural issues and his depth of wisdom and ability to deliver biblical truth, honed by a demonstrated humble love for God and people, will serve many well as he ministers to them.
Daren operates in compassion without compromise as he teaches and counsels many different audiences ranging from pastors, lay leaders, individuals struggling with same sex attractions or gender confusion, and groups of parents or family members of GLBT identified individuals. As a national Christian speaker, I’ve seen first-hand how his advocacy for the gospel truth has influenced cities, states, and recently even the United Nations as he tackles some of the hardest cultural questions of our day around human sexuality, identity, and religious freedom. Daren has received what the Lord has done in him and now speaks a powerful message of grace and truth that Jesus can bring life, freedom, and restoration to any person.
Again, I highly recommend Daren as a minister of the Gospel.
