Hans-Joachim Stengert

Hans-Joachim Stengert (* 1962) ist ein deutscher evangelikaler Referent und Verfasser christlicher Sinnsprüche, der unter anderem in der freikirchlichen Freizeitarbeit und Verkündigung wirkte. Seine prägnanten Texte und Aphorismen stellen eine verbindliche, alltagsrelevante Nachfolge Jesu in den Mittelpunkt und wenden sich gegen bloße fromme Worte ohne Taten. Bibellesern begegnet er vor allem durch kurze Sinnsprüche und Andachtsimpulse, die zur praktischen Umsetzung des Glaubens im Alltag anregen.
