Be grateful for everything you've learned--even the things you had to learn the hard way. The best gift is the wonderful life those lessons can bring you!

Rick Godwin

Rick Godwin (* 1944) ist ein US-amerikanischer Pastor, Fernsehprediger und Autor, der über Jahrzehnte die Megagemeinde Summit Christian Center in San Antonio, Texas, leitete. Seine Verkündigung verbindet charismatische Theologie mit Leiterschaftstraining und persönlicher Lebensbewältigung, geriet jedoch durch Kontroversen um Gemeindefinanzen und einen autoritären Leitungsstil in die Kritik. Für Bibelleser stehen seine prägnanten Zitate für alltagspraktische Ermutigung und Selbstverantwortung im Kontext der US-amerikanischen Megakirchenbewegung.
