The Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Great Physician, heals people and makes them whole again. And we've got to be out there as God's people, obeying the Great Commission.

Ed Young

Homer Edwin „Ed“ Young ist ein US-amerikanischer baptistischer Pastor und Autor, der von 1978 bis 2024 die Second Baptist Church in Houston zu einer der größten Megachurches der USA aufbaute und Anfang der 1990er-Jahre Präsident der Southern Baptist Convention war. Bekannt wurde er durch sein Medienministerium „The Winning Walk“ sowie seinen Einsatz für theologische Bibeltreue und pragmatisches Gemeindewachstum. Für Bibelleser bieten seine Auslegungen alltagsnahe Impulse, wenngleich sein Wirken von parteipolitischen Kanzelpredigten und Kritik an seinem Leitungsstil begleitet war.
