One more time, because this point is crucial: a lie believed as truth will affect your life as if it were true.

Craig Groeschel

Craig Groeschel (* 1967) ist ein US-amerikanischer evangelikaler Pastor, Autor und Gründer der Megachurch Life.Church sowie Initiator der YouVersion-Bibel-App. Er steht für einen pragmatischen, stark an Führungsthemen und Lebenshilfe ausgerichteten Verkündigungsstil sowie den Einsatz digitaler Medien für die Gemeindearbeit. Während Bibelleser seine pointierten, alltagsnahen Impulse nutzen, bemängeln theologische Kritiker eine Verkürzung biblischer Inhalte zugunsten breiter Zugänglichkeit, und ehemalige Mitarbeiter erhoben Vorwürfe gegen die interne Führungskultur.

William Temple

To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was yourself.
