We cannot do life alone! God has called us to have relationship with those around us. We become the best version of ourselves through relationship with God and people. When we are walking in relationship with others, we're walking in God's will.

Jimmy Evans

Der 1954 geborene US-amerikanische Pastor und Autor Jimmy Evans leitete über drei Jahrzehnte die Trinity Fellowship Church in Texas und gründete das überregionale Ehedienst-Netzwerk MarriageToday. Bekannt wurde er durch praxisnahe Ratgeber und Seminare zu christlicher Eheführung, Vergebung und Partnerschaft sowie durch Veröffentlichungen zu biblischer Endzeitprophetie. Während seine Konzepte in evangelikalen Gemeinden weiterhin verbreitet als Lebenshilfe rezipiert werden, geriet seine frühere Leitungstätigkeit an der Gateway Church durch den institutionellen Umgang mit Missbrauchsvorwürfen gegen deren Gründer in die Kritik.
