What if the door that closes on your career is the one that opens to your calling? That’s the unexpected turn in Dan Parr’s story—radio kid turned corporate leader turned Bible narrator and publisher—who set out to record one book of Scripture and ended up building a clear, modern translation people actually want to read.

We dig into the moments that shaped Dan’s path: a complicated pregnancy that left his parents clinging to faith, a neighborhood flood answered by radical generosity, and a layoff that could have sparked panic but instead made space for purpose. Dan shares why “ten minutes a day” with the Bible can steady a life more complicated than a car’s transmission, and how approachable language can remove needless barriers without watering down truth. He walks us through the craft and conscience of translation—cross-checking a dozen versions, leaning on commentaries, and praying through the hard passages—so the EUR Bible keeps Scripture’s integrity while speaking in the language of the 2020s.

We also talk about the art of narration and the lasting gifts of radio: pacing, presence, and the humility to let the text lead. Dan’s honesty lands with hope; he isn’t trying to win a translation war. He’s inviting you to encounter God through words you can finally understand. Whether you grew up on King James or felt lost at “thee” and “thou,” you’ll find a practical on-ramp to reading, reflecting, and being changed. And if you’re standing at your own crossroads, Dan’s journey is a reminder that God rarely wastes a skill—or a detour.

SPEAKER_00:

Welcome back to one on one with Mr. U. Of course, I am your host, Mr. U, in studio with us, Bible narrator and the publisher of the EUR Bible. Dan Parr is in the house. Dan, good to see you, man. How are you?

SPEAKER_01:

I'm doing great, Mr. U. It's a pleasure to be here. Thanks for allowing me to come on.

SPEAKER_00:

My pleasure, man. Glad to have you in here. We're gonna have fun to talk about both of our one of our favorite topics. So we're excited about this, but before we get into that, I always ask our guests to come in and kind of just share about their background, their childhood, what was life like for young Dan? Where'd you come from? How'd you get from there to where you are right now?

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, so I like to refer to myself as a reluctant Bible publisher and narrator because uh five years ago, if you told me this was my future, I would have thought you were crazy, Mr. Hugh. This was not what I had on my radar. When my mom was pregnant with me, she was going through a very challenging time. She had been taking all these prescription drugs because she was suffering from these terrible migraine headaches. Um, so she's on these drugs, has been on them for a while, and all of a sudden she finds out she's pregnant. She is terrified. She goes to her doctor and says, What's going to happen to my baby now that I have these drugs in me? And instead of uh comforting her, he just kind of shook his head and said, It's not good. These drugs come with a whole list of potential side effects, including birth defects, mental retardation, and all kinds of other complications. So his recommendation was for her to get an abortion. Um she was, you know, devastated by that news. So she goes home and she and my dad talk it over and they start praying and eventually land at the place where they thought, well, if God allowed her to become pregnant, it's because he wanted this child to be born. So we don't know what it's gonna mean for us or our family, but we're gonna trust that if it's going to be a special needs child, he's gonna help us somehow. So we're gonna go ahead and honor life, honor God, and bring this child to term. So when I made my debut a few months later, I came out, they checked me over, I had all my fingers on my toes, they watched over the next several months and I was developing as expected. So when I was old enough to understand uh what all that meant, my mom told me the story and it made an impression on me. It made me think, well, God must have a purpose for me. He must have a reason for me to have survived this, right? Um, later as I grew older, I began to understand that everyone has a purpose. He has a reason for everyone being here. But for me, it just kind of drilled it down that he's got me here for a reason. So you'd think I'd grow up being a perfect little boy. Wasn't the case. We uh we were in church for yeah, we were in church for a good while, but then some stuff happened in the congregation, and we got out and had been out for several years. I was away from the Lord, and uh then something interesting happened. Our neighborhood got flooded, and uh, we had to be rescued by boat. Very dramatic, the whole field. And uh yeah, so a couple days after that, some people from the church that we used to go through years earlier dropped by and said, Hey, we just felt led to come by and give you some help. And they gave my parents a sizable financial donation just to help out, and uh that stuck with me. I thought, why would they do that? We haven't gone to church with them for years. That's crazy. Why? Why would they do that? Um, so fast forward five years. I'm 18 years old. I'm doing a little video business on the side. I make a hundred bucks, and I thought, you know what? I'm gonna do I'm gonna go to church and give give this money in the offering plate, just as a way to say thank you for what they did years ago. And so here's what I was planning, Mr. U. My plan was I was gonna go to Sunda on Sunday morning, sneak in the back, drop in the money in the offering plate. Soon as the offering plate was passed, I was gonna get up and walk out the back. And that was it, right? I was gonna give the money and go. Well, I get dressed up on Sunday morning and my sister figures out what I'm doing. She says, Hang on, I'm gonna go with you. And I thought, ah man, now I have to stay for the whole service. So I uh we go, I do the deed, we listen to the whole service, I come back home and I thought, well, that's good, it's over now. But then when we got home, our neighbors were over. They said, Well, we understand you went to church today. That's great. We've been looking for a church to go to, we'll go with you next week. So now I'm on the hook for another week. Yeah. But uh, you know, through that experience, God just kind of kept bringing me back. But then the real transformation happened for me when I started reading the Bible for myself. And I, you know, more than I read it, I think it read me. Uh, it told me I was a sinner and that I needed to be saved. You know, I had lied, I had cheated, I had stolen, and uh my eternal destination did not look good. And Jesus was the only one who was capable or willing to give me a lifeline. And I thought, all right, I'll exchange my life for yours, Jesus. So I started following him and uh for had been in the church for decades at that point, and then just a few years back, I'm working a senior leadership position in a corporate 500 company. Um, and I get caught up in a corporate downsizing, so I'm suddenly unemployed at 5050 something. And I thought, wow, that's pretty dramatic. Um, but I didn't feel panicked. I think the faith that I had been building up all over all through those years just kind of came into play. And I thought, okay, God, what do you want me to do now? Um, and I had worked in radio and done voiceovers on the side for a number of years. So the thought of narrating, you know, a little bit of the Bible had passed through my mind before. But I thought, that's too much work. I don't want to do all that. I was lazy, honestly. Um, but God began to work in my life. And I did a little Facebook video uh that I put up uh about the resurrection of Jesus that I kind of put in my own words, and people seem to enjoy that. And I thought, okay, I'll do the book of Luke. And I thought that would kind of, you know, get God off my back in a way. So I had to find something that was going to be in public domain because I'm a voiceover talent. So I thought if I'm gonna do this, I might as well put it on Audible and Amazon. Um, so it means I had to have something that I could record legally. Um went through the public domain stuff, found the King James version, got through a couple of V's and thous and thighs, and I thought, ooh, this is tough. Beautiful, yes, but the language was just archaic and a burden to read. And I thought, I don't know if a lot of modern readers are going to understand that, even. So I had to find something else. Landed on the WEB, the World English Bible. Good faithful translation, a lot more modern. Um, but even then, I was reading it and I thought, man, it's still rough in a lot of places, and some word choices I just kind of questioned because you know, uh, most people in the 2020s don't speak like it was written. So I thought, all right, I can work with this, I'll reword it, do it, put it out there. So I did that for the book of Luke and enjoyed the process, but I thought that was a lot of work. I don't want to do any more. But God kept knocking on the door and he eventually kind of led me to do more. I remember after I did the book of Luke, he's like, you know, the look, the book of Acts is really the book of Luke part two. Don't you think they need to know the rest of the story? It's like, okay. And it just kind of continued like that. Uh, so it was uh a lot of back and forth between me and God, basically, me complaining, him telling me to just keep going. And uh the funny part is I I finally quit complaining after this conversation God and I had. I had told him multiple times, we don't need another translation, another version of the Bible. We've already got plenty, we don't need one more. And I felt him very gently but firmly ask me, Dan, why don't you let me decide what we need and what we don't? And I thought, okay, I guess that's what I needed to hear. So with that, I rolled up my sleeves and got to work. And four years later, here we are with a completed new version of the Bible.

SPEAKER_00:

Oh man, that is incredible. I love this one. There's a lot of things. I'm gonna get into a lot of this. I'm gonna get into your personal walk as well as what you're doing with this translation. Before we get into that, just a little bit of business. Uh, if you guys want to send a text to Mr. U, please do so at 904-867-4466, 904-867-4466. And of course, my uh QR code in the upper right hand corner, give you access to all uh uh previous and recent episodes of one-on-one with Mr. U. So you can get all the interviews with also ones like this one with Dan. You can find it in the QR code upper right hand corner of your screen. All right, Dan. So I want to get into some this question here. Somebody asked you, Why should I read the Bible? What's your response? And I get your testimony because you shared it with me already. I know mine's, but a lot of folks may not see the value of it, they may see it as being arcade, uh, maybe something that's uh more old world, if you will, and not something that they can currently uh apply with any level of practicality. What would you say to them if they ask you directly or they're listening and watching right now after they re driving?

SPEAKER_01:

So if you were going to try to put together a car's transmission, you'd probably want to have some sort of frame of reference on how to do that, right? There's a lot of parts, a lot of moving pieces. You want to have some sort of diagram, some sort of help to let you know what you should expect, what you should do. Um, that's for a transmission. Life is infinitely more complicated than that. And we need something to navigate to help us to steer clear of a lot of potential troubles that we can get into. Um, the Bible will help you do that. If you will open it up, spend 10 minutes a day reading it. You can go through the entire Bible, Mr. Hugh, in a year if you read it about 10 minutes a day. Um, and it will guide you through life. It will not only guide you, but if you come to it with uh just an open heart and humility, just saying, All right, God, what do you got for me here? It will transform you. It is like a small seed that gets planted and it takes root and it begins to change things in your life. Um, how that happens, I don't know, other than the fact that the Bible tells us that it is alive and active and sharper than a two-edged sword. And when you give yourself to it, allow yourself to read it with an open mind, an open heart, and asking God to show you that He is true, He is real, He will gladly take you up on that challenge and do it. And so if people are feeling lost, if they need hope, if they need encouragement, if they need love, if they need peace, if they need joy, all of these things are found in the Bible and God will give them to you as you give yourself to it. So short summary, that's why I say people need the Bible.

SPEAKER_00:

Definitely, I totally get that. Uh, we when we first started out in our walk, probably nearly 30 years ago, finding easy translations was important because I was hit with the same wall or a perhaps a uh a barrier of entry as you just described with the these and thous. It was like it was rough here from New York City reading these and thou's. I'm like, I don't, I don't, I didn't even do Shakespeare, so I definitely couldn't do this. You know, so I found transition of like the Good News Bible or the I think to kind of break it down to the lowest common denominator, if you will. What makes your transition different than those and all the other ones that are out there? Can you highlight any specific differences?

SPEAKER_01:

Sure. Yeah, this is one of the most recent uh versions that's available. You know, it was published last year. So we we're in the 2020s, it uses language of the 2020s. The barrier for entry is very low on this. Uh, if anyone can speak or read English, they are going to be able to pick this up and understand it. And we've already seen that happening for people. Um, just like you're expressing. I've had a couple of people tell me that, you know, I grew up with King James Version, didn't get a lot out of it. One guy said he walked away from God, started getting into new age, read all kinds of new age books, was following it, happened to see my version of the book of John, thought, I'll give it a try. Well, can it hurt? Transformed him. He came back to God through it. He says, Now I get it. Now I understand what the Bible is saying to me. Uh so because of that, he's rededicated his life to Christ. And I can't take credit for that, right? That's the Holy Spirit working through the text that I've put out there. God is the artist, not artist. I'm just the paintbrush that he chose to use. So I would say this is a translation that is fresh, modern, and easily easy to relate to. And obviously, you know, God is chosen to work through it as he is with other versions, don't get me wrong. Uh, but this is just one more version that God has been working through to bring people to him and show his love and uh forgiveness. So that's why. Thank you for sharing that, man. I love this, I love this.

SPEAKER_00:

Uh, from a personal standpoint, and I don't I'm not looking for you to be preaching and then I just want you to kind of just hear your thoughts. What does uh God's word mean to you personally? How is it significant in your life? Because I know that we can tell people what they should do, but I'd love to hear what you actually do, how is Ashley personally transformed you? And you know, that's that's probably the best testimony you can give anybody. So kind of share that with us. What's the word of God mean to you personally, and how is it significant in your life?

SPEAKER_01:

You know, as I was going through this project, going through all 66 books of the Bible, one thing that became very, very clear to me is just how much God loves me, how much he loves us. Um, as you read through the Old Testament, God had given his guidance and direction to his people. They chose time and time again to try to do things their own way. It never worked out well for them. But each time after they rejected God, kind of seemingly uh turned their back to him, he would extend his arm and say, You know what? I'm still here. You're suffering, you're in pain because of your rejection of me. Doesn't have to be this way. Turn back to me and I will show you a better way to live. And for me, that was certainly the case, right? Uh, I needed love, I needed joy, I needed peace in my life. And God will give you those things in abundance if you will simply turn to him and just start reading his word and let him do his transformation. So I would say, you know, if you need hope or joy or peace and you want to have it on a consistent basis, uh, turn to God and his word because he will shower those things upon you and bless you with his presence.

SPEAKER_00:

I love it. Now, I wanna no, and I don't believe in being the devil's advocate. I don't work for him in just putting that part out there. Uh in nearly 30 years, I've probably read multiple translations. Uh, I probably got more personal insights from Holy Spirit and illumination from him than anything that I've probably read in all the reference Bibles, concordances, you name it. How do you feel about the traditional language of some of the older translations? Do you feel like they hinder spiritual growth, or do you think it's kind of one of those things where it's like it's good to have other options to kind of help you maybe create a balance or help you out with tough areas, tougher topics that don't translate very well? Hope that question wasn't too clunky then, but I'm kind of wanting to be on the other side, kind of throw the other side of the coin too, because those those translations they still they still matter to me that I have a relationship with them. So a lot of people who are listening and watching, they may feel the same way. How do you feel about that? Do you feel like it poses a significant barrier to people growing spiritually, or is there just different viewpoints you have about it? Go ahead.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, so I would say, first off, I'm not against any translation of the Bible that correctly um relates the message of God. Yeah, yeah. Uh now, the King James Version, probably the most famous, right? Um, beautiful language, archaic language, but some people are still blessed by it. And, you know, they get weepy-eyed when they read it because they just think it's so beautiful and God speaks to them through it. And if that is the version that God speaks to them through, keep reading it. Allow him to minister to you through that language. For other people, though, that's going to be a barrier, right? It's too archaic, it's too old, and it's not relatable. God can work through any tra God can work through any translation. Um, so you know, I'm I'm not necessarily against any of those that correctly uh handle the word. Um, but what I would say is that a lot of people um find the Bible intimidating, and this is one more way for them to get into the word in a understandable way where the Holy Spirit can meet them where they are and uh minister to their hearts. You know, I I like to think of it this way there's a reason why Baskin Robbins doesn't only sell vanilla ice cream, people like ice cream, but they but they want different flavors. So this is one more flavor for them to choose from.

SPEAKER_00:

I love that, I love that. I love the Baskin Robbins reference because it's my favorite. But how would you say is what was the challenge for you to maintain the integrity of scripture? And because I mean I'm not against you know making things palatable for people to understand, especially in modern day times. You want to kind of speak uh uh the language without getting so immersed in it in the culture that you forget who you are. But tell me how you uh how you balance that because that that could have been easy to make sure that you maintain the integrity, the literally the heart of what was being said and why was being said, and still making it understandable to people.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, so that was that was one of the big challenges for me because the last thing I wanted to do is misrepresent the word of God in any way. Um, I hold it in the highest esteem. I think it's the most important piece of literature ever written, miles above anything else. And I wanted to make sure that I was rightly handling it because I know I'm responsible to God for this, right? For my works. I'm gonna have to answer to him for this ultimately. So I didn't want to do anything that was going to misrepresent his word. Um, so as I went through this, you know, I've been in the word for a long time, so I already had a good understanding of it, but still there are places and passages where you just kind of scratch your head and think, what in the world is this saying? Not only that, how do I relate what is being said in a modern, relatable way? And I would get frustrated and I would say, God, what am I supposed to do here? Inevitably, each time, he would lead me to a different version or a different translation or a commentary where I could read what was written about it and uh come to an understanding. It's like, okay, now I get it. Now I just have to wordsmith it to make it easier for people to understand. So as I went through this, Mr. U, I consulted probably a different uh total of a dozen different translations to make sure that what I wrote was going to line up with how it has historically been interpreted by Bible scholars and theologians. Um, so you know, a lot of prayer, a lot of looking at different versions and other commentaries, just to make sure that what I was putting out there wasn't somewhere from left field and was uh lining up with how it has historically been interpreted.

SPEAKER_00:

I love it. I love it. I got a bit of a two-part question here that I want to kind of round out the show, talking about your radio time because I'm a big fan of radio, big part of the background of my childhood. So I want to hear from you a little bit on that before we end the episode, but it's kind of a two-part question. So when I read, and this is somebody who's been reading for more than three decades now, there's areas that I read of scripture that still to me, even though I have all these tools and references, they still like wow, what are we talking about right now? It's difficult. So was any first part of the question, was any areas like scriptures or or passages or verses that you found difficult to translate into the plain language that you want to speak through through the EUR Bible? And then, and then how do you balance, you know, not watering down something that you know has a certain impact for the time it was being spoken in, and you don't want to take away the impact of it. So it's a two-part question. Did you get both of those parts? You got them?

SPEAKER_01:

I do, I got it. Yeah, so I would say, you know, half of the New Testament was written by the Apostle Paul, and his words are challenging. I I wish he would have had an editor to help streamline what he was saying in a lot of those passages. Um, so anything written by Paul, you know, presents a little bit more digging and a little bit more time invested to to grasp what's being said. And I'm not faulting him in any way. If anything, I'm saying that's the Holy Spirit leading him because I like the fact that it forces me to, I can't just brush over it, right? I can't just say, oh, got it. Yep, move on. It forces me to look into the text, to try to wrestle with it and understand it. And I think that's God's design, right? So that we have to spend time, invest that time and intellectual capacity so that we come away with a better understanding. So, you know, a lot of the New Testament, especially when I was doing Corinthians, I remember that seemed to take a lot more time than I thought it was going to, uh, just because uh it's Paul, and I wanted to make sure that um I was capturing what he said in a way that people in the 2020s would be able to get it and understand it. So all of his works were uh a little bit of a challenge.

SPEAKER_00:

I love this, I love this. All right, so before we get into the last two questions of the show that I have for you, I want you to just share a little bit about your radio career. Like I said, that's been a uh background of my childhood. As a matter of fact, that was actually the unexpected segue that that got me into podcasting about five years ago. So radio was kind of how it was like it was a natural flow for me to get there. Uh, and it became a blessing to my life and my journey. So I'm excited about podcasting, but radio is kind of where it's kind of started, man. So tell me about your career a little bit, your times in radio, share a couple of juicy stories if you got some.

SPEAKER_01:

So I started I started working radio when I was 14 years old. Um, I rode my bike to the local radio station, asked to meet to the owner, and told him I wanted to work in radio. And he he was very kind, nice Jewish guy. Uh, but he said, All right, go home, write me a letter, tell me why you want to work in radio. We'll see what we can do. Uh, so I did that. And uh he hired me as uh I think I was, I think I was a freshman or a sophomore in high school to catalog and file the radio station's record collection. I didn't care. I was happy, I was in the door, I was working in radio. Uh through that time, I met some people. Uh, other people move on to other radio stations. They find an opening that I think I can fulfill, they hire me. So I'm working in radio, I start doing news radio, uh, start anchoring radio. Um, I worked for several different stations around Northern California and uh even in Florida. Um, but yeah, radio was great. The thing about radio though, uh, unless you are in a major market, it's hard to pay the bills on a consistent basis because uh radio, surprisingly, doesn't pay that well. I guess there's so many people that want to do it. I heard about that. It's a lot of fun, but uh, you know, it's a tough way to make a living, and especially anymore. Um, so many companies own multiple radio stations, right? There's not a lot of independent ones anymore. And so you basically get told what to say, when to say it, and all of that. So it doesn't have the heart of independence that it used to, but I get it, companies got to make money and they've found a way to do it. Um, so I got out of radio. Uh, I didn't like the instability of it. Um, companies come in, buy a radio station, change the format, replace this, replace the on-air talent. Uh, so I got out of it for uh a couple of those reasons, right? The instability and then the um the pay was never that great. Um, and then uh what I really enjoyed about radio was the talking. Um, so that kind of led me into a career of doing voiceovers, which was great for me. Um, I love doing voiceovers and I still do voiceovers today. So yeah, radio is uh a lot of fun, and I won't say I'll never do it again, uh, just because I do love it, it is a lot of fun. But uh yeah, radio voiceovers, it's been uh a huge part of my life since I was 14 years old.

SPEAKER_00:

I love it, man. I find it interesting myself, as a matter of fact. Um, what would you say is your central message for people who are listening and watching right now that may even if it's not about the Bible, even if it's about finding your your your goals and dreams and alternative areas. I mean, whatever it is you want to share, take a couple of minutes and just send that message to the mirror.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, first off, I want to say that you are not here by accident. You have a purpose, you have a message to bring to the world, you have a role to play in the world, and God will show you what that purpose and that message is if you will give yourself to him and to his word. Um, like I say, start small, start five minutes a day and allow God to just start doing his work. Um, I think that everybody should be in the word on a daily basis. If I'm not in the word on a daily basis, it means I'm not trying to hear from God. And I desperately need to hear from God. Uh, he provides wisdom, guidance, and uh love, joy, and peace and all of these things if you will simply spend time with him. So I would say, you know, discover what your purpose is, find out why you are here. And the best way to do that is to spend time with God. And like a loving heavenly father, he will show you the best way to live your life and guide you and direct you into what he knows is going to be most fulfilling for you. So invest that time. It's the best investment you can make with your time. And uh God's love and his mercy just get shown when you when you do that. So, everybody out there, crack open the Bible, spend a few minutes in it, and just let God start leading your life. You won't regret it. It'll be the best decision you ever make.

You think it doesn't matter, but it definitely may it helps us. So we definitely appreciate the support there. Final question of the show, Dan. I always answer for all of our guests. It's called the CMV question: career, mission and vocation. So, what happens is that theoretically and temporarily, I erase everything you've done off of the board just for a moment. Career-wise, mission-wise, vocation, even a hobby that you already done. So the answer had to be something you haven't tackled yet. What do you think Dan Parr is doing today outside of what he's already done?
