I understand why a lot of us have a hard time focusing on what is in front of us, because it usually doesn't look like the promise, dream, or vision we have in our hearts. It takes faith and commitment to trust God who gave us both the dream and our current assignment and to say, 'I don't understand how You're going to get me from here to there. But getting me there is Your job, and this wall in front of me is my job.

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.
