For more than 30 years, Darin has turned what could have disqualified him into the message that's shaped leaders, families, and students across the country, because purpose was never about having everything you think you need.
Darin was born with one hand, a difference that could have become his limitation, but instead became his laboratory. Life is full of challenges, and how you respond to yours determines the direction of everything that follows. That attitude has never wavered: nothing is impossible if you just try.
In 2008, Darin started sharing what that lesson had taught him, and it grew into two decades on stages he never expected: schools, churches, conferences, camps, and corporate events. He's since spoken to more than 750,000 people across the country.
Alongside the stage, Darin spent more than 20 years pastoring and leading ministry organizations and teams through growth, crisis, and change, the real proving ground for everything he now teaches.
Today, Darin channels that same conviction into Leadership Strategies, the coaching program he leads to help pastors, executives, and leaders close the gap between where they are and who they were created to be.
Defeating the lions that oppose your destiny. It's the heart of Darin’s message on overcoming adversity: turning what could disqualify you into what defines your purpose.
A practical guide to raising kids intentionally instead of by accident, built on the same Blueprint Darin uses in leadership coaching.
Darin's own story of growing up with one hand, and how what looked like a loss became a gift.
Coming 2027: a new message on identity, worth, and how you were built on purpose, for a purpose.
Battle The Beast and Parenting With Purpose are available at PentecostalPublishing.com and Amazon.com.
On the podcast, Darin sits down with leaders, authors, entrepreneurs, athletes, and overcomers to explore leadership, purpose, resilience, family, and faith, and what it takes to become the person you were created to be.

“Darin Sargent first crossed my path when he was a junior in high school. He was part of a very unique, creative, motivated group of overachievers. Halfway through the year, Darin had set the bar for everyone else in the speech class. Darin participated in many regional and state speech tournaments, and often wowed the competition. Life is so much easier when you have a sense of humor. People want to be a part of that fun and excitement — they want to be around someone who is always positive, fun-loving, and full of life. That is Darin Sargent. I'm thrilled to know that he is still sharing his gift with others.”Karen Rogerson, Darin's High School Speech Teacher, Kimberly, ID
“30 plus years ago I gained a lifelong friend. We’ve been college roommates, groomsmen in each other’s weddings, traveled together and I hate to say this; he’s beaten me in golf. (Okay I said it!) Darin Sargent is a very special man. Not simply because of his effervescent personality…and he’s got that. It’s not his capable speaking ability…although he possesses that as well. You see, Darin has an attitude. Not the kind of arrogant, self-serving disposition that wears on people but a ‘can do, never give up’ attitude that has propelled him to excel as a pastor, friend, motivational speaker and family man.”Tim Gaddy, National Leader & Pastor, Cabot, AR
