That means we must make a choice: Will we focus on the size of our problem or the size of our God? The reality is, we can’t do both.

Perry Noble

Perry Noble (* 1971) ist ein US-amerikanischer evangelikaler Pastor und Buchautor, der im Jahr 2000 die NewSpring Church in South Carolina gründete und zu einer der größten Megakirchen der USA aufbaute. Er wurde durch seinen direkten Kommunikationsstil und Veröffentlichungen über Leiterschaft und persönliche Krisen bekannt, stand jedoch wegen theologischer Aussagen in der Kritik und wurde 2016 wegen einer Alkoholabhängigkeit von der Gemeindeleitung entlassen. Bibellesern begegnet er heute vor allem mit praxisnahen Impulsen zu Neuanfängen, persönlichem Scheitern und göttlicher Gnade im Alltag.
