Rick Warren

Rick Warren ist ein US-amerikanischer evangelikaler Pastor und Autor, der 1980 die kalifornische Saddleback Church gründete und zu einer der einflussreichsten Megachurches der Gegenwart aufbaute. Mit Bestsellern wie „Leben mit Vision“ prägte er ein zielorientiertes Gemeindemodell, stieß mit seinem methodischen Pragmatismus auf theologische Kritik und führte seine Gemeinde 2023 wegen der Ordination von Frauen zum Ausschluss aus dem Southern-Baptist-Verband. Bibellesern begegnet er vor allem durch leicht verständliche, alltagsnahe Andachten und Impulse zur praktischen Glaubenspraxis.
