While it’s easy to believe the worst, God wants you to believe the best. He never promises a trouble-free life of leisure, but he does promise never to leave you and always to love you.

— Craig Groeschel (b. 1967), Gründer und Hauptpastor der Life.Church, Initiator der YouVersion-Bibel-App, Bestsellerautor und Podcaster

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.
