The Host
Dan Black
Veteran / Former Tattoo Artist / Host
Dan Black spent years in the military and more years behind a tattoo machine before he found faith in a place that didn't look anything like a church. He started The Rugged Path because he kept meeting people whose stories didn't fit the version of Christianity he saw on offer — people who had been through real darkness and needed to hear that God was in it with them, not waiting on the other side of it.
The Rugged Path is the show he wished existed. Long-form. No script. No filter. No polished testimonies. Just real conversations with real people who found God in the hard places.
Faith conversations the Church usually leaves out. That's the whole point.
