Dale Partridge: A Timeline
Sadly people, nowadays, are unwilling either to commend or dispraise what they read, until they know who the author is. Which is why Silence Dogood has been resurrected. While many will claim to know the person behind the keyboard, this document is the work of several people, from different parts of the country, all of whom are trying to make sense of Dale Partridge’s many claims. If you are here, you must have questions too.
This document seeks to dispassionately and objectively lay out the timeline of Dale’s life based on his own statements, claims he has in the media, public records, and interviews conducted with former employees, classmates, and business associates. A team of people has listened to countless podcasts, watched hours of YouTube videos, read hundreds of articles, and tracked down hard-to-find copies of some of Dale’s early books to compile this list. Claims are laid out chronologically or as Dale has stated and sources and dates that the claims were made are referenced.
We will start at the beginning, a few weeks ago Dale’s Relearn.org Instagram posted this Instagram Story, (we will refer to it as the Instagram Timeline) as well as a post claiming that Dale Partridge was a former Drug Dealer and gang member turned successful businessman, professor, and pastor. For many who have followed Dale for years, this is a new claim… so instead of trying to remember all of his stories, we have put them here, in one living document that we will be updating from time to time.
Please leave any corrections or additions in the comments.
1985 — Dale was born in Upland, California on April the 10th, to James and Holli Partridge.
In a June 22, 2020 story titled: How God Saved, Freed, and Reformed Dale Partridge — A Personal Testimony Dale says he was raised in a nominally Christian household with a blue-collar dad and a stay-at-home mom.
1986–1994 — Not much is known about Dale, other than that his family remained in the Inland Empire, his parents had another child, Dale’s younger brother. His father worked at General Electric. Dale has talked about having a fairly normal upbringing in several stories. In his TEDx Talk, Dale shared several stories from his youth, that his dad had “Golden Handcuffs” because of his great job, his mom was a stay-at-home mom, and he learned to earn his own money by collecting cans and having a lemonade stand. No mention of having sex at 12 or his time as a gang member or drug dealer in the TEDx Talk.
1995 — (age 10) Dale claims in the Instagram Timeline that he started looking at pornography.
1996 — (age 11) Dale claims in the above timeline that he started smoking cigarettes.
1997 — (age 12) Dale claims he lost his virginity at the age of 12.
1998 — (age 13)Dale claims he started drinking at the age of 13.
1999 — (age 14) Dale claims he started smoking weed at the age of 14.
2000 — (age 15) Dale claims in the Instagram Timeline that he was “Involved in Gangs.”
2001 — (age 16)Dale claims he started selling weed.
2002 — Dale Turns 17
Dale claims in the Instagram Timeline that he started experimenting with “other drugs”.
In a story on Relearn.org he states
“At age 17, my alcoholic mother cheated on my father and brought our family through a vicious divorce that left our family in shambles.” He later tells this story as happening three months after he graduated high school.
Dale tells Entrepreneur Magazine in 2008 (see below under 2008), that he founded The Fit Image at the age of 17 after working as a personal trainer at LA Fitness. But the timeline doesn’t make a lot of sense, as The Fit Image doesn’t incorporate or have any records before 2005.
2003 — Dale Turns 18
Dale’s senior year of high school.
He claims on his Instagram Timeline that he started taking steroids.
In his 2018 book, “Saved from Success” Dale claims that three months after he graduated high school, his parents went through a vicious divorce. Calling into question the timeline shared in his post where he was 17 not 18 when his parents divorced. He also writes:
“I had just graduated high school in a small town in Southern California and was striking out on my own. I was a respectful young man. I was polite, disciplined, responsible, and a Christian.”
This would seem to contradict the narrative that he was a drug-dealing gang member on Steroids and his later claims that he wasn’t a Christian until 2014.
During an interview on The Thirty Day Trial, recorded in 2014, Dale claimed he was a professional skateboarder at 18 and played baseball “all the way through college” before starting his first company. Dale has stated several times he doesn’t have a College degree. We reached out to the Alta Loma High School Alumni Group and got a response from several classmates who went to high school with Dale and don’t recall him being a baseball player at school. They provided scans of the school yearbooks which do not list him on the JV or Varsity Baseball team. Other childhood friends remember him playing as a youth but do not recall him planning to go to college on a baseball scholarship.
On the Solopreneur Podcast, recorded in 2015, Dale claims that at age 18 (2003) he started his first business. On this same podcast, it is said about Dale that
“At 18, he had a full scholarship to play baseball for Cal State Fullerton which is one of the premiere colleges for baseball in the US.”
In a video interview recorded in, June 2016, Dale said
“In the year between high school and college, I actually was throwing pitches in front of all these people that were, you know radar guns up for every pitch that was thrown.” He then goes on to say he blew out his arm and “It was those moments on the mound at seven years old, nine years old, at twelve years old that I had the ability to lead.”
This choice of words is interesting as we have yet to find any team rosters, tournament records, photos, newspaper clippings, or school yearbooks, that show Dale as a top baseball player in Southern California from 2000–2003.
2004 — Dale Turns 19
Dale claims in his Instagram Timeline he is sleeping around.
In the Addicted 2 Success Podcast, recorded in 2015, Dale claims he started his first company at 19. (He has also claimed he started his first company at 17 and 18 in different stories he has told.)
2005 — Dale Turns 20
Dale is promoting himself as a photographer on MySpace.
Dale claims he is feeling empty (Instagram Timeline)
On a podcast, recorded in 2020, Dale claims he became a Christian after a sleepless night on the road:
“I really do remember the renewal, a regeneration the next day.”
Dale claims he was baptized in Southern California at the beach in 2005
TheFitImage.com launches: The Listed Partners are Dale Partridge, Jim Partridge, David Tennis, & Kristin Palasek. Offering: In-Home Personal Training, Group Fitness Workshops, Mobile Massage, and Nutrition.
2006 — Dale Turns 21
The Fit Image Mobile Fitness Professionals, Inc. Incorporated
On the Lewis Howes School of Greatness Podcast, recorded in 2015, Dale claims that at the age of 19, he took $50,000 from the sale of The Fit IMage and used it to buy $10,000 worth of Chipotle Stock during their IPO, which was January 2006. This is confusing because The Fit Image doesn’t seem to exist before 2005, was incorporated in 2006, and Dale was listed on the company website through at least 2007.
Dale claims on the Instagram timeline that he started going to church at the age of 21.
Dale claims he became a believer at 21 years old in a video interview from 2016.
2007 — Dale Turns 22
Thresh Hold Indoor Rock Climbing Gyms, Inc. is incorporated. Dale is a partner and claims to have raised $500,000 from investors to launch it.
The Fit Image, Registers a Trademark on May 9th, 2007, with a first use in commerce date of 02/10/2005. Dale was registered as the agent as the CEO until the organization was dissolved in 2011.
Dale claims on the Instagram Timeline he is a Christian “legalist and moralist.”
2008 — Dale Turns 23
The Fit Image website’s final archive
Dale claims he started dating his wife at 23, Veronica’s post from 2012 claims they were together in some capacity in 2005.
Thresh Hold Indoor Climbing Gym opened in March 2008 (according to a 2008 Entrepreneur Magazine story (below)
Dale partners with Vance Carriere to launch Legwork Creative in July 2008 after meeting at Thresh Hold Climbing Gym (via an interview with Vance)
In an episode of the Social Media Marketing Podcast, recorded in 2015, Dale shares he was fired from Thresh Hold Indoor Climbing Gym in the summer of 2008. “Dale thought things were going well until he got pulled into the yoga room by one of his business partners and was fired from his own company for being a “horrible leader.” (This is the first time he was fired from a company he started. Dale claims in his timeline he was fired from his company at 27 (Sevenly), but it wasn’t the first time.
Dale is featured in the August 2008 edition of Entrepreneur Magazine in the Investor Look-Out Section by Christine Pala. This was likely a sponsored story, however, we have been unable to verify that it paid placement. The story says:
“This year has been nothing short of pure overload for Dale Partridge, cofounder of The Fit Image Professionals, Thresh Hold Indoor Rock Climbing Gyms, and MeetYourHealth.com. You might wonder how the just recent 23-year-old has had his hand deep enough into three successful businesses to create revenues exceeding 1 million dollars” — “At the age of 17 and fifteen jobs later, Dale began to realize that working for someone else just wasn’t for him. At the time, he was working at LA Fitness as a personal trainer.” — “After a few years of trial and error and the ups & downs of a young company Dale and Dave began to feel a resistance in the fitness market and decided to move in a new direction. After many meetings and heated arguments Dale, as CEO, made the final decision to shut it down, liquidate, and move into other markets.” — “As for MeetYourHealth.com, the project is valued to be worth over $1 million already.” “The website debuts this October and is expected to turn heads of some big-name investors.”
There is no evidence of MeetYourHealth.com’s existence, there are no archived versions of this site before 2010. Dale also shared on DPMedia that he was the founder of Redpoint Management Software which was incorporated in 2009 (see below).

“Dale Partridge — Graphics and Photography” DalePartridge.com launched in February 2009. (This is the first version of this site) Dale’s Bio from the site:
“My name is Dale Partridge, I am a dedicated follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. Creativity, passionate, driven, and achiever are four words that come to my mind when trying to describe myself. I love art in all of its forms but primarily advertising, graphic design, photography, and web.
I was brought up in Rancho Cucamonga, California when Rancho was just Rancho. I rock climb, skateboard, and design for my fun. I have been shooting photos professionally for a little over 3 years now. It started with my first purchase of a Canon Digital Rebel XTi back in 2005 (it was a great starter camera). Over the years my $500.00 investment had turned into around $5,000.00 investment from lenses and camera bodies, to lighting and accessories.

Dale claims he is a workaholic on his Instagram Timeline
May, Vidopin.com is suspended by the California Franchise Tax Board.
Dale leaves Legwork Creative, June 2011. In an interview with his business partner Vance Carriere conducted in July 2023, he stated that there were several problems with Dale and their short time working together.
“He was plagiarizing content for the Legwork Website, I had other designers calling me up and asking why we were sharing their work on our site as if it was our own. Dale always claimed to be a designer, but he was never a designer, he could do some basic stuff, but almost everything he shared as his work he would subcontract out and just claim as his own work. Dale would have these stories on the site about brain science, I knew he had to be plagiarizing them, he doesn’t know anything about science. In fact, he bragged all the time that he didn’t go to college.”
“The arrangement was, I was the experienced designer and marketing person, Dale was the sale guy, he was getting all of our customers from that Christian CEO group (Convene).
“I overheard him on the phone with a client (over some billing irregularities). We had a discussion about it, and he said he would make it right. But instead, he just cleaned out his office and never came back.”
We reached out to several members of Convene, the CEO group that had worked with Dale in California, but none of them wanted to go on the record about their experience with Dale, one said “I never want to hear his name again.” Another said “It seems like everyone is happy to have that relationship in their rearview mirror. They don’t want to revisit any of it…focusing on the best of what’s ahead that does not include Dale.”
July 2011 Mashable does a story on Sevenly: Is Sevenly the Next TOMS Shoes? “Co-founders Dale Partridge and Aaron Chavez were motivated to create the site after seeing the amount of worthy non-profits that shut down within their first year open. The problem isn’t apathy so much as a lack of following, funding and awareness.”
Identity Culture Inc. Non-Profit, Incorporated by Ryan Wood (Identity Conference) Dale is not listed as an officer, but is still involved in the organization and still producing content and speaking.

2012 — Dale Turns 27
January, Sevenly is featured in the Los Angeles Times: Sevenly hopes to change the world one T-shirt at Time — Los Angeles Times. In this story Dale claims he owns a chain of rock climbing gyms, however, there was never a chain and he had been divested of any ownership according to his own timeline in 2010.
“Dale Partridge, who holds the title of chief world changer.”
“Partridge, in the hallowed tradition of entrepreneurs, is always looking for an edge and an opportunity. At 26, he already has created and sold a small fitness company, and he currently co-owns a chain of rock climbing gyms in the Inland Empire.
The hook at Sevenly, which he co-founded last year with Aaron Chavez, 19, goes beyond the number gimmick. The company is following a recent trend in business models — for-profit firms that donate a major percentage of their revenue to charitable causes.”
Sevenly Has Raised $175k for Charity Selling Hip Shirts — Readwrite Sevenly co-founder Dale Partridge tells the story this way: “Sitting in my office after an 8-hour discussion on the topic of fighting poverty I realized… the problem is not the millions of people who go in need every day, It’s the billions of people who watch it happen and do nothing about it.”
Sevenly Makes Charity Fashionable — OC Register “Our mission is to lead a generation towards generosity,” said Partridge, who has owned a rock-climbing gym and an advertising agency.

Sevenly: Your T-shirt Purchase Helps a Great Cause — Socialbrite
Before founding Sevenly, Dale Partridge and Aaron Chavez were both running highly successful businesses with incomes to match. They had always dreamed of becoming successful entrepreneurs because of the freedom it allowed but soon realized that they weren’t giving back to society. So in April 2011 Dale and Aaron created Sevenly. After nearly a daylong conversation about how to tackle poverty, the idea of Sevenly emerged. They came to the realization that the biggest problem is not the fact that millions of people are in need; it’s the fact that billions are watching it happen. Sevenly was developed around the belief that people matter, and we figured that if we could just get people to start giving, then we could get them to start caring.
In May 2012, Dale Partridge and Aaron Chavez formed Key Influence, LLC outside of Sevenly.
In June 2012, Dale claimed that he and Veronica left the institutional church. Your Walk Scares Me, by Dale PartridgeTheDailyPostive.com (possibly backdated looks like it may have been published in 2013)
“About 5 months ago (June 2012), my wife and I left the institutional church. It was probably the most obedient, yet fearful decision I’ve made for my family ever. I was leaning on God like a ton of bricks. It felt like I was walking in a dark room with a little candle in my hand and God was whispering, “keep your eyes on the light, we’re almost there.”
“Over $260,000 in donations”

“The future of business is authenticity, integrity, and honesty,” said Partridge, who sees a sea change that startups are causing for larger businesses. By 2014, I see us raising $250,000 a week. We’re raising $50,000 per week now. We’d also like to get into corporate donors — for instance, one corporation sponsoring one cause for a year.”
Dale tells a different version of his Baseball story to Conscious Magazine.co: DALE PARTRIDGE AS MISTER CONSCIOUS
“As entrepreneur and CEO of Sevenly, Dale Partridge plays business the same way he played baseball — equipped with rigor and empowered with agility. Conscious Magazine, Issue 01”
“A pitcher is always ready with one hundred different intentional pitches meant to produce a certain outcome. He is mindful of the how and why, the action and reaction, and the team’s strategy. He must be aware of his strengths and weaknesses, those of his team, and those of his opponent. He is passionate to fight for the cause but level-headed to set the pace and lead his team. He manages the pace of the game.
Approaching his freshman year of college, Dale’s dreams of becoming a professional pitcher were crushed after breaking his pitching arm. Fortunately, it turns out the skills of baseball and business are interchangeable. Dale found a new dream: he set out to find success as an entrepreneur.”
August, Dale Partridge and Aaron Chavez incorporated Shutupimtalking.com LLC.
In November 2012, the Identity Conference is held at Saddleback Church
2013 — Dale Turns 28
January, Sevenly, LLC is Dissolved.
Dale claims he was fired from his own company at 27 on his Instagram timeline. If this is referencing Sevenly it would have meant he was fired before his April birthday. This would fit with the former employee’s stories that Dale and Sevenly had a drawn-out back and forth about his exit and role. Dale claims that November 2014 was the end of his time at Sevenly.

“Today’s battle is getting noticed in the noise, not building trust and loyalty, that part is easy. The human brain is wired to only notice what is different. In a sea of red, white, and blue candidates the only one who will get noticed is the bright neon orange one. Whether in business or politics, it’s critical to recognize the new playing field, noise. How can you get noticed? How can you become an orange dot in a sea of gray. When you figure this out, winning votes or winning dollars becomes easy again.”
Dale claims he is addicted to Ambien and Veronica is facing a mental health crisis.
“In the Spring of 2013, I entered into the hardest season of my life. I found myself addicted to Ambien for sleep, carrying Ativan in my wallet in case of a panic attack, and wearing a holter monitor to examine the hundreds of skipped heart beats I was experiencing daily.” “Just a few weeks into this season of torment, my wife begun going through her own battle of mental illness. I remember days where I was fighting off a panic attack while coaching her through reasons to live.” — TheDailyPostive.com (Published 2014)
Dale claims he has extreme doubts about Christianity on his Instagram Timeline.

“Sevenly was a brainchild of my previous company. Because I’m a serial entrepreneur, I wanted to start something that incorporated my faith with business in a blend that functions well with the next generation. I wanted to do it in a manner that the generation would sense is practical; where it is just a really authentic version and not “super Christian,” like if Jesus owned a business.”
“I’m actually in the middle of writing a book called, People Over Profit. I wanted to create a business that valued people over profit.”
“It was me and my partner Aaron Chavez at the time, which started Sevenly. Aaron is now working on another company where he is a co-founder, but still a silent shareholder for us at this point.”

November, FROM BEGINNING TO [ALMOST] THE END. — VeronicaPartridge.com
“Dale and I got married on the most cliche’ date of the year, February 14th, 2010. It was a very small wedding held at our old pastor’s house with about 15 people there. I wore an old dress I had had for years and he wore jeans and a button up. It was an extremely stressful (yet exciting) time for the both of us due to a lot of negativity towards our marriage, but I knew this man was to be my husband. I had been praying about it for months, trying to figure out if this thing was real or not. Analyzing my mind and not just my heart to see if my young self (just turning 20) was thinking clearly and not just becoming infatuated with him. I told God, I would call off the engagement if it wasn’t what He had for my life. I prayed this prayer many times and every time I would pray it, God would show me the opposite. He would show me all of the reasons why he was the one for me.
Shortly after we got hitched, our honeymoon phase lasted about, oh let’s say… two, maybe three MONTHS!! It went from being all unicorns and dandelions to fire and brimstone. We got to a point where we were fighting every single day. And not just a little bickering, we would full blown yell and scream at the top of our lungs at one another and say whatever we could to intentionally hurt the other. Needless to say, we needed help.”
“I don’t remember what we were fighting about, but I do remember a lot of chaotic arguing in the car and I must have hit the big red button that says, “DO NOT PRESS”. All of a sudden, my husband just lost it! I was dumbfounded. Never have I seen that side of him. I immediately shut my mouth and couldn’t do anything but cry the rest of our drive home.”
“Once we got home, I went straight to our room and cried some more. Dale came in and apologized for the way he acted shortly after. We talked it out for a bit and both knew we needed to do something about our marriage, and quick.”
“I learned that most of the arguments initiated by myself were because of my ridiculous jealousy, being unreasonable, and passive aggression. My husband learned he needed to take my needs into consideration and make time for me instead of spending any free moment he had working.”
November, the Identity Conference is held for the last time ever at Saddleback Church. Dale is promoted as Keynote Speaker.
The End of Sevenly: According to an interview with a former Sevenly employee, Dale and the board of Sevenly had a meeting regarding the sale of the feeder sites and social media assets that were the major traffic drivers for the brand. It didn’t go well, Dale was removed from Sevenly and after much back and forth a deal was reached which resulted in his move to Oregon. When Dale tells the story of the move in his 2017 book Launch Your Dream, he claims that “Living in Los Angeles had taken its toll” on him and Veronica. (We have found no evidence that they have ever lived in Los Angeles.) He goes on, that the board was upset because the Facebook algorithm changed, and they decided to fire him unfairly. He considered just taking a job with a “Fortune 500 company” but instead decided to move to Bend. Nearly all employees and board members signed NDAs, so most other former employees declined to comment, citing their NDA, others did not respond to our requests for an interview.

“This month, Mashable announced Sevenly as the winner of America’s Most Social Small Business. The three-year-old social good apparel company has gone from a closet office with four employees to a 33-person operation that’s raised more than $3 million for charities around the world. Read on to learn how Sevenly harnessed the power of social media to change the way people think about — and wear — charity. Sevenly co-founder Aaron Chavez isn’t your typical entrepreneur. As his star-status rose in California, Chavez caught the eye of his future co-founder and de facto mentor, Dale Partridge, a local entrepreneur, author and social media aficionado.
The two met online and then connected in-person in 2011 at the Identity Conference, a faith-based entrepreneurship event run by Partridge. Though seven years Chavez’s senior, Partridge was instantly impressed with Chavez’s precocious digital insights and entrepreneurial zeal.”
“Immediately, Chavez and Partridge zeroed in on marketing Sevenly through faith-based social platforms with millions of followers. The Christian community is very dedicated to supporting causes, so we launched Sevenly on there and it just took off,” says Partridge. “This was pre-Facebook algorithm adjustments, so if you posted something in the group, all million people would see it. It was a rare time and an outlier moment where we able to drive that much traffic — a half-million to one million visitors — to the Sevenly site every month. For a good while, almost 97% of our site traffic came from Facebook.”
March, OC Weekly: JUST SEVENLY: DALE PARTRIDGE
“As a teen, Partridge was something of a baseball star in his hometown of Alta Loma. But in a series game in San Diego, he went to throw a pitch, and “my elbow exploded,” he recalls. “Everyone knew I would never play baseball again. It was a crazy moment in my life.”
“But he didn’t have time to wallow in the tragedy; the 17-year-old had a side business to focus on. Actually, by that point, Partridge had already started a few side businesses, including an in-home personal training and massage therapy business. After he sold that company, he started a rock-climbing gym with some friends. When Partridge was fired from that enterprise, he says, he was left to ‘ponder his next move. “I thought, ‘Holy crap, what am I going to do?”

After looking at multiple options to help align the goals of all parties involved, it became apparent that the best course of action was to part ways and sell the company.”

January, Veronica Partridge, Christian Blogger, Vows To Give Up Yoga Pants To ‘Honor God And Husband’:
“If it is difficult for my husband who loves, honors, and respects me to keep his eyes focused ahead, then how much more difficult could it be for a man that may not have the same self-control? Sure, if a man wants to look, they are going to look, but why entice them? Is it possible that the thin, form-fitting yoga pants or leggings could make a married (or single) man look at a woman in a way he should only look at his wife?”
January, ‘Men might have lustful thoughts’: Meet the married woman who has vowed not to wear leggings in public after husband admits ‘it’s hard not to look’ — The Daily Mail.

Describing one ‘chaotic’ car ride, she writes:
“All of a sudden, my husband just lost it! I was dumbfounded. ‘Never have I seen that side of him. I immediately shut my mouth and couldn’t do anything but cry the rest of our drive home.” After then attending marriage counseling at the couple’s church, Mrs Partridge wrote: “I learned that most of the arguments initiated by myself were because of my ridiculous jealousy, being unreasonable, and passive aggression.”

April, Soloperneur Hour Episode 254: 254: PEOPLE OVER PROFIT, WITH DALE PARTRIDGE:
“At 18, he had a full scholarship to play baseball for Cal State Fullerton which is one of the premier colleges for baseball in the US. The summer before he was to begin as a student at Cal State, however, he broke a bone in his elbow and within a few days he knew his playing days were done. But rather than let a dashed dream slow him down, he took the experience and grew from it. He wanted to know why this had happened and if he could’ve done something differently to prevent it. With that in mind he started a fitness company called Fit Image. He grew that business for a few years until he realized he was simply a therapist for other people and he was miserable in that role! He dabbled in a few other ventures over the next year or so, and then started a branding agency. He loved it! He was a designer at heart and had a real eye for it. As with every other company he started this one grew as well. And one day while chatting with his business partner they had an idea for a new side gig, a company that would later be called Sevenly.”

May, Lewis Howes School of Greatness Podcast: Putting People Over Profit in Business and Life with Dale Partridge: From the Podcast:
“I was thinking, like I looked at my, at my past and the history of the relationships that I had, and I saw a wake of destruction, I mean just of people that I had not cared for.
So what we’ve done is we’ve tied a lot of the, the negative things that we’ve done in our past. We’ve tied that to our success. You know we say well, you know lying. I’ve lied for 10 years and you know I’m really successful and very wealthy and so I’m going to keep doing that because I’ve tied lying to my success, and so it’s really hard to be able to pick and choose and go. What do I need to get rid of? That’s actually bad, and what do I need to keep? It’s actually good and you know so it’s. This is the depth of kind of real emotional leadership, because you know what got us here, is it going to get it, get us there. And you saw that even in the marketing. You know you’re doing the same thing over and over and you go, man, I need to jump to the next level. Same thing with leadership.
You know, I’m 30 years old and I’ll still tell my wife that I’m around the corner and I’m not, I’m lying, right and it’s so. It’s like you know it’s. We still struggle with these things as leaders and and this is where we find success is when we can be these moral, ethical incredibly, you know, strong willed in tag, you know, built with integrity, type leaders that can take over our companies and lead our companies to success.
Yeah. So I thought, for sure, I was going to be a professional baseball player. Like it was. It was like in the cards. I got a full scholarship to one of the greatest baseball schools and in the summer, between between high school and college, I was playing baseball of course, and you know, is the end of a game. I’m ninth inning and I’m watching. Every pitch is radar guns up, radar guns up, radar guns up and and notes Right, and so I’m pitching hard. I’m throwing 87 miles an hour, which is really fast.
Yes, I’m a pitcher. Yeah, left handed, pitcher and 87 miles an hour for a five foot. Nine guys, really fast, sure and boom. My elbow, just like the bone. If you reach down on the inside of your elbow, that bone was like down on my tricep and it was it. That was, that was, that was done. Man, like every scout in the world would, would note about that and say this guy broke his arm when he was young, he ain’t playing.
So, I am. I stopped. I stopped baseball. I started my first company, thinking that I could learn how to fix myself, which is a fitness company, and grew that to about you know, five or six employees and about almost a half million a year and realized that I was training overweight wealthy women and I was a therapist and not a trainer and I hated it. So I I was also, you know, 19 or 20 years old. I sold that company to a young couple for 50 grand and I was the wealthiest 19 year old I’ve ever met. Yeah, and I was thinking, oh my gosh, what am I going to do with all this money? I don’t never have to work again.
And I took that money because I was an addict of Chipotle. I mean, I hate Chipotle, oh, it’s so good. And I was. I walked in one day and the guy like literally knew my name. He’s like hey, dale, he’s like we went public today and I was like, oh really, I was like you know, and I had this money and I was thinking about playing the stock market, we IPO at $21 a share and I said, huh, I went home and I funded 10,000 bucks into my account and invested into Chipotle and I just lucked out, because Chipotle happened to go up to like $121 a share in like a couple months. It went so fast and I thought, oh my God, I have to sell. There’s no way that I’m going to make that I’m going to make any more money. So I sold. If you look today, it’s at like $600 a share. I lost a bunch of money on solar stocks and you know it was definitely, you know, the biggest idiot on the stock market for a long time. And then started a rock climbing gym, raised a half million dollars from my past wealthy overweight clients’ husbands, and which is a fun experience and I started this rock climbing gym and got fired from that company.
What I’ll say is this, own your audience, instead of buy your audience. So I’m a big fan of instead of advertising, I try to build big audiences and own them and then market to those people. So I own lots of social media. Real estate is what you can call it Instagram accounts and Pinterest accounts and different things that I have built over the last few years that that have, you know, that can’t be taken away from me and that’s that that’s the one thing is, you’re constantly need to protect that. So that’s something I would consider is work on building it now, because a year from now, you’ll wish you did.
I actually recently told my wife I think my biggest fear is being irrelevant and it’s I’m constantly like making sure that people know who I am and that I have this message to tell and that I’m you know, I’m influential and that I wanna be successful.”

“Dale and Veronica Partridge and neighbor Charlotte Nash settled the lawsuit last week, according to records filed in Deschutes County Circuit Court. Attorneys for both sides — Carl Burnham Jr. and Michael McGean — said they couldn’t talk about the terms of the settlement.”
“Dale Partridge posted a photo to his Facebook account, showing a man — apparently Partridge — sawing down a large tree with a chainsaw. And in court papers filed in response to the suit, the Partridges also didn’t deny that they cut down the trees. Rather, they fought the lawsuit’s contention that they had committed elder abuse simply by “the inadvertent cutting down of trees on the property of an elderly person.”
Days after the suit was filed, Dale Patridge wrote to The Oregonian/OregonLive stating: “I’m really shocked this is happening the way it is. The whole truth will eventually come out. But since she has filed a formal suit, I have been instructed to keep my words for the courtroom.”
February, StartupCamp.com (DalePartridge.com) 10 Books I Read While Making My First Million
I’m a family man originally from Orange County California now living on a farm in the middle of Oregon. I’m a husband, father, and entrepreneur. I don’t start weird internet marketing businesses that nobody understands. Most of my companies have actually been very traditional: A rock climbing gym (acquired), a branding agency (no longer), a conference company (acquired), an online clothing company, a tech company (investor), and now StartupCamp.com (the site you’re on). To be even more “opposite” than much of the business crowd, I authored a National Bestselling book titled People Over Profit. But over the past several years, my companies have produced almost $30,000,000. And like most classic entrepreneurs, I did not attend college.However, I did read A LOT of books. My guess is around 250 during my early years of business.
Notes: Dale was not originally from Orange County, he was born, raised, educated, married, and launched his company in San Bernardino County. He moved to Orange County after Sevenly launched out of a small office in Ontario, California. He did the same with Legwork Creative which was based in Highland California, with claims that it was “the number one marketing firm in Orange County.” Dale appears to try to tie himself to affluent areas throughout his career.

She loved the city, dancing, and talking late into the night. She enjoyed dogs more than people and because of an extreme fear of flying, she had never been on an airplane. Her heart was for kids but she didn’t want any of her own — adoption was her preferred method to becoming a parent. But most of all, she recently fell in love with Jesus and was trying to learn what God’s will was for her life. For me, that sealed the deal. Within eleven months we were married.”

January, Dale is called out for plagiarism in Christian Influencer Dale Partridge Shares Inspirational Quotes — But They Weren’t All His
In an interview with Religion News Service, Partridge admitted that he has unintentionally used others’ work without attribution but said the problem is now in the past.
“I have no problem admitting that was a past failure,” he said. “But I don’t think it’s persisting.”
Partridge also said that in his early 20s, he embraced something called “the uncopyright movement,” which put forth the idea that “all ideas are God’s ideas.” That belief, he said, also led him to be careless.
“That is to say, in my previous immaturity, I projected my personal perspective onto other people’s work and allowed a handful of unoriginal pieces of content (tweets, social media sentences, etc.) to be perceived as my own,” he said in an email. “It was wrong and I have repented of it.”
Partridge also said that at times, he was in a rush to post new content online and failed to be careful.
“The intense demand for churning out content as a social media personality and the speed of preparing notes for dispersion online becomes an easy trap to carelessly use a sentence or two from your notes, without citation in your digital content,” he said.
January, ‘Christian Influencer’ Dale Partridge Continues to Be Chased By Plagiarism Accusations
Partridge’s new book Real Christianity hit the top spot on Amazon’s “Christian” book list in January. His website Relearn Church featured a quote from Dallas Theological Seminary’s Richard Jennings, who called the book “a splash of warm water on your face. You still get the shock of being wet without the sting of cold words. It’s direct. It’s bold. But most of all, it’s accurate to the Scriptures.”
Just one problem: Richard Jennings doesn’t seem to exist.
On a recent podcast, Partridge’s wife Veronica read the quote, this time attributing it Richard Davis. Partridge told RNS that Davis doesn’t exist either, saying the quote was from a website mockup that was never meant to be used publicly. The quote was removed from the website after RNS inquired about it.

“What is a biblical house church? How is it different from a traditional church? What kind of theology is held by these communities? A common misconception of house churches is their lack of theological and ecclesiological breadth, accountability, and order. In this Relearn.org resource, ministry founder, Dale Partridge, attempts to present, in short form, the basics of biblical house church doctrine. This book, however, is not much of a book. In fact, it is best to be viewed as a comprehensive tool and living document intended to introduce and inform the reader about the biblical commitments held by a Relearn.org network house church.”

However, while this demand has expanded, Dale noticed that “house church” had become a tarnished term in the West as it was generally associated with free-spirited, anti-institutional, ungoverned, and even cultic gatherings of Christians.
Dale, out of a desire to fully understand the Scripture’s instructions for local church structure, began a decade long journey of defining what he calls “biblical house church.” Through this season of study, he founded Relearn.org in 2018. Relearn.org was established as an effort to initiate the public discourse around the Bible’s doctrines regarding local Christian assembly (and more specifically house church assembly). Today, the ministry is focused on producing theologically sound content, resources, and tools to support house church communities around the globe. Relearn.org, however, is not a theological denomination but rather an association of house churches operating within the historic evangelical church, confessions, and creeds.
In 2019, Dale Partridge along with the St. Justin’s Theological Advisory Board wrote a living document titled House Church: The Doctrines, Convictions, and Liturgy of Biblical House Church. It is from this ecclesiological position that St. Justin’s was born.
While still early in the journey, the St. Justin’s faculty is on a mission to train and equip biblically qualified servants of Christ who are marked by sound doctrine and Kingdom vision.
In the West, Kingdom vision is commonly associated with large buildings, countless programs, and a church culture that seems more tailored to entertaining visitors than edifying the saints.”
Dale grants himself the title of ‘Professor Preaching and Ecclesiology’ then changes to ‘Dean and Professor of Hermeneutics’ then again changes it to ‘President and Professor of Hermeneutics.’

“Stelle, formerly known as Savoury Jacobson, speaks of the “sadistic” corporal punishment taught and implemented by her father Matt Jacobson, who teaches based on the book To Train Up a Child, by Michael and Debbie Pearl. Jacobson — of faithful man.com — is a home church advocate and mentor of Audrey and Jeremy Roloff (Little People, Big World), Dale and Veronica Partridge(Relearnchurch.com), and Jennifer and Aaron Smith (Marriage After God). Also in their network of home churches are Issac and Angie Tolpin (Courageous Parenting.)”

“A simple, gospel-centered program for breaking the bondage of pornography.”
In Real Christianity Episode 107, recorded August 2020, Dale says “I finished my two-year graduate studies program at Western Seminary” (5:26) At 6:11 when speaking to a Masters of Divinity he says it’s double the length of a ‘masters degree, “it’s a four-year graduate program, luckily I’ll be able to transfer some credit from my previous seminary experience” (6:15). This does make it sound as if he took a two-year Masters program, not two years to complete a 16 unit certificate program. The rest of the episode speaks of the importance of this training and argues that pastors should be trained.

February, Dale claims he has severe illness again, this time caused by mold toxicity. In the forward of his 2022 version of the 1689 Baptist Confession, he says:
“During the Spring of 2021, I experienced a severe illness caused by mold toxicity, which resulted in a range of debilitating symptoms such as seizures, kidney failure, gastritis, intestinal bleeding, dyspnea, and many others. My immune system was greatly compromised, requiring us to relocate and necessitating a modification in my Seminary training. With the aim of pursuing a more manageable Master’s program consisting of around 30–40 credits (TMS did not offer such a program), I decided to transfer my credits to another small, unaccredited Seminary in the Spring of 2022. Unfortunately, due to various reasons, my time there was short, ending in January 2023.”

October, The Lion Within Podcast: 129. The Manliness Of Christ With Dale Partridge
“His name is Dale Partridge. He’s the president of relearn.org and Reformation Seminary. He’s conducted his graduate studies at the Master Seminary and Grace Bible Theological Seminary. He’s the author of several really wonderful books and he hosts a Real Christianity podcast. Highly encourage you guys to check that out. And he’s a lead pastor at Reformation Fellowship out in Arizona where he lives. So guys, it’s a powerful conversation. He really shares a tremendous amount of truth. It gets raw, it gets real. So I’m not gonna hold you back any longer. Let’s get into it.”
“We’ve, we’ve, we’ve got some, um, some wealth built up. We, we’ve got some, um, notoriety. I, we were featured on several. You know, covers of magazines on the cover of Entrepreneur Magazine and Fortune and Forbes and all, all the different magazines.
I decided to go to Seminary in January 2017.”
“I’m still wrapping up some, some stuff in seminary after five years. And, uh, I’ve been enrolled every single semester. So seminary is not short for some people and it’s short for, for others, but I took a longer track. Right. Uh, hoping that one day I’ll actually end up with my doctorate, but, But seminary, I went to Western Seminary and then I went to the Master Seminary down in Southern California with John MacArthur.
Then I went over to Grace Bible Theological Seminary, where I’m at now. And it’s been an incredible journey, wonderful experience to learn theology. Uh, one thing I learned quickly was that, um, that, that the deeper your theology is, the higher your doxology is, meaning that the deeper you know Christ, the higher your praise and worship will become.”
“I had to write a paper for a thesis paper for, uh, a Christology class. It was one of my last classes. Uh, at seminary and I, I chose this topic on the masculinity of Jesus.”
November, Dale published the 1689 Baptist Confession in Modern English (Special Dale Partridge Edition) “I remember being overwhelmed with frustration as I sat at my desk reading the very same book that is in your hands. It was the fall of 2019 and I was completing my master’s in theology at The Master’s Seminary.”
November, in response to a critical comment about one of his videos, Dale claims to have completed “5 years of full-time seminary including exegetical Hebrew and Greek.” he goes on to belittle the commenter by saying “I have studied this topic at a level you probably can’t grasp.” While Dale might have been attending Seminary classes off and on over five years, calling it “5 years of full-time seminary” is a big stretch.
He would go on to make the same claim and another reply that he knows “both Hebrew and Greek and spent 5 years at Seminary.” (See below) He would go on to make this claim again in March 2023.
His certificate program did not include Biblical Languages — the entire catalog can be seen here.

“Since 2010, I have been a strong proponent of the biblical house church movement in the West — and I still am today.” “After being part of a biblical house church for several years, I was sent out to establish our own plant in Bend, Oregon, in 2017.
Other accounts and third-party interviews say Dale was sent out to plant a church in 2018.
In June 2012, Dale claims that he and Veronica leave the institutional church, for the first time to join a house church. Your Walk Scares Me, by Dale Partridge TheDailyPostive.com “Now, after finding our place in a home church, with a refreshed understanding of church, and a new community of Christians, many have either attacked or judged our move. Not out of hate, but out of fear, concern, and love.”
NOTE: According to our email correspondence with Matt Jacobson Dale joined his house church in 2014 and was sent out to plant church with 19 others on May 30th, 2018 and Dale continued weekly discipleship meetings with Jacobson for several months until late fall 2018. Dale also claims 2018 as the year he planted his first house church in his most recent timeline published to Instagram.

July, Dale publishes, Is Dale Partridge a Plagiarist?
“In the past, I engaged in plagiarism. Before I found faith in Christ, specifically between 2010 and 2014, I would thoughtlessly share tweets and social media posts without acknowledging the original source, giving people the impression that their words were mine.
Although I stopped this blatant form of plagiarism after my conversion in late 2014, I struggled with more subtle forms of plagiarism until 2018–2019.
I did publicly and locally repent for this sin in 2014 and again in 2019. Since then, I have made significant changes to my publishing process to ensure proper citations, multiple rounds of third-party editing (especially for books), and the use of plagiarism detection software to catch any unintentional plagiarism.”
NOTE: Dale claims that he was called out in 2019 and publicly repented, but the stories about his plagiarism all came out in January 2020. Dale also was active in several churches and Christian communities during his 2010–2014 time frame. This also goes against his own description of himself in his book Saved from Success: “I had just graduated high school (2003) in a small town in Southern California and was striking out on my own. I was a respectful young man. I was polite, disciplined, responsible, and a Christian.”
On June, 29th Dale published “My Statement of Public Repentance” regarding the accusations that he was inflating his education credentials.

Lyme Disease and more — Veronica Partridge — 11/19/2019
“I was bit by an insect and contracted Lyme Disease” “I was instantly put on antibiotics for about four weeks, and then the symptoms went away, since we hit it really hard (with antibiotics right away). I stopped taking antibiotics after a four week period of taking them, took about a week off, and then went back on for another week of a different one because I was really struggling with the other antibiotic. Got off again, and about three months later all of my symptoms came back. It was likely Lyme but didn’t have an official diagnosis.” “But I got off all of those antibiotics after those five weeks, and three months later all my symptoms came back again, so then I went on another journey of being on antibiotics for a while, and I just didn’t want to be on them, but I didn’t really know what else to do, cause I don’t want to have Lyme Disease, and so my husband (Dale), I am so grateful for him, thankfully he just kind of dove all in and researched as much as he possible could on it and he actually the one who took me off the antibiotics and encouraged me to switch to an herbal protocol, so that’s kind where I’ve been now. Since that happened two months ago.”
Lyme Disease Recovery (Dale Partridge) — 12/14/2021
“About a year and a half ago, my wife got bit a something, we think it was potentially a spider or something, but she got a big bullseye rash, the Lyme Disease rash, we went to the Dr, Dr said yes it was Lyme.” “She started tanking really quick, she was in bed within two weeks, and we were trying to figure out the whole Lyme world, and what the Lyme world wants you to do is basically take antibiotics and that is what we did at first because we didn’t know what else to do. She was on Antibiotics for five months, so you talk about the destruction you can do to your body with that. Antibiotics are like grenades that kill everything the good stuff and the bad stuff, and within about three or four months she started getting better.”

The laboratory is somewhat controversial due to its “Nonstandard Laboratory Tests” and its founder's claims about the causes of autism and treatments for autism. “Of note, this test was performed by The Great Plains Laboratory, Inc., which is used widely by SCAM providers to support bogus diagnoses (see below). It comes complete with unsupported interpretations of test results, and suggestions for the corresponding dietary supplements.” According to sciencebasedmedicine.org. The laboratory changed its name to Mosaic Diagnostics in 2022.
