Levi Lusko
Levi Lusko ist ein US-amerikanischer evangelikaler Pastor und Autor, der 2007 die Fresh Life Church im Bundesstaat Montana gründete. Er wurde vor allem durch Bücher und Predigten bekannt, die Themen wie persönliche Trauer, psychische Gesundheit und christliche Lebensführung in einer modernen Alltagssprache behandeln. Heutigen Bibellesern vermittelt er praxisorientierte und seelsorgliche Zugänge zur Schrift, wobei Kritiker mitunter eine Überbetonung motivationaler Elemente gegenüber theologischer Tiefe bemängeln.

God lets us walk no path that he himself has not walked, and on which he does not go ahead of us.
