Banning Liebscher

Der 1976 geborene US-amerikanische Pastor und Buchautor Banning Liebscher gründete aus der Bethel Church in Redding heraus die weltweite Bewegung Jesus Culture. Er steht für charismatische Erweckungstheologie, Leiterschaft und Jüngerschaft, sieht sich jedoch aufgrund der Nähe zur Bethel-Bewegung anhaltender Kritik an deren Verständnis von Prophetie und übernatürlichen Phänomenen gegenüber. Für Bibelleser bietet er praxisnahe Impulse zu Hingabe und geistlicher Reife, deren charismatische Akzentsetzung im evangelikalen Raum unterschiedlich bewertet wird.

I am so weak. I can’t read my Bible. I can’t even pray. I can only lie still in God’s arms like a little child and trust.

The bow cannot be always bent without fear of breaking. Repose is as needful to the mind as sleep to the body… Rest time is not waste time. It is economy to gather fresh strength.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon
