Sola Scriptura is committed to developing and producing radio broadcast programming that affirms the authenticity, accuracy, and authority of the Bible - the standard for truth.

Our daily program is a two-minute feature called A WORD FROM THE WORD. In each program, Dr. Dan Hayden examines an original Greek or Hebrew word in its context within a verse. This brief daily study helps us expand our understanding of the Scriptures and shows us how to apply the Word of God to our daily life.

Dr. Dan Hayden is among those whom you could call uniquely gifted of God. With the ability to communicate difficult biblical concepts in ways that are easy to follow, one comes away from his teaching with a broader, more complete understanding of biblical truths and themes. His keen intellect, down to earth humor, and clear speaking skills make him a joy to listen to and read. With endless enthusiasm for ministry, he is always approachable, and his affable personality makes you an instant friend.

Dan obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree from Wheaton College in Illinois, and for a time worked as a surgical technician at Children's Hospital in Chicago. He planned to go on to medical school, but then felt the call to ministry and redirected his studies to Dallas Theological Seminary where he went on to earn a Master's in Theology.

After seminary, he began his first full time ministerial position as Youth Pastor then Senior Pastor at Middleton Baptist Church (Madison, WI).
