Ed Stetzer

ed-minus100Ed Stetzer is one of the leading evangelical thinkers and networkers of our time. He speaks for a broader cross-section of Evangelicalism than any other preacher I am aware of. If you don’t already, you can follow him on Twitter or Facebook. Stetzer brings his passionate missional approach everywhere he goes.

I have filmed an interview with him over the Internet, and he has interviewed me.

Ed was also kind enough to endorse my book

Ed Stetzer reflects on my New Frontiers USA brothers and sisters

November 1, 2011

Ed Stetzer is a great friend to many movements.  I do not think that there is anyone who preachers today to a broader range of evangelicalism. One thing that makes that possible is that he is ever eager to understand what movements actually do stand for.  It was such a blessing having him preach at [...]

EdStetzer on How to do church

June 4, 2010

These are my notes from the final session of Dwell London. Ed Stetzer was the speaker. He wanted us to focus on Why not how. Tools not rules. We are in a time of transition. Many churches are frustrated. Looking for new ways, new models. We need to think biblically and culturally about how do [...]

So blame me, rather than [...]

Are you a pastor? Have you got a plan for what to do if your church ever attracts a protest?  Think that it would never happen to you? Think again, because in the West we are living in a society that increasingly hates Christians.  Many see us as little different to the Taliban.  If you [...]

The Effects of Pornography – EdStetzer.com

December 10, 2009

I do love it when a scientific study shows us what we all thought likely to be the case.  When will society take note that this massive market is degrading to women and men alike? # Pornography is addictive, and neuroscientists are beginning to map the biological substrate of this addiction. # Users tend to [...]

VIDEO – Ed Stetzer Interview – Is Missional and Apostolic the Same Thing?
