Not only has he been a youth pastor at small country churches as well as one of the nation's largest multi-cultural churches, but Doug has also been a high school coach and substitute teacher.

Baker released his second book FaithQuake: Rebuilding Your Faith after Tragedy Strikes (Baker Books, January 2003). Doug is working on his two-book project with Tyndale Publishers entitled Pure Revolution.

Doug has conducted over 2000 school assemblies since 1991 and currently speaks to teens and adults about character development, sexual abstinence, and spiritual passion. He is a co-founder and executive committee member of CCARE (Colorado Coalition for Abstinence and Relationship Education). He founded Integrated Community Events, Inc. a non-profit organization linking community networks for strategic efforts. The Pure Revolution Project is one of those efforts created by Doug to bring the message of sexual abstinence until marriage to students, families, and communities.
