Ed Stetzer
Ed Stetzer has planted churches in New York, Pennsylvania, and Georgia and transitioned declining churches in Indiana and Georgia. He has trained pastors and church planters on five continents, holds two masters degrees and two doctorates, and has written dozens of articles and books. [GJ - No bio tells where he got these so-called doctorates. Oh wait, I finally found a real bio at Trinity, where Olson studied. Here's Ed - Ed Stetzer is affiliate professor of research and missional ministry at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. He earned his BS at Shorter College, his MAR at Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary, his DMin at Beeson Divinity School, and his MDiv and PhD at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. A DMin is not a real doctorate. An MDiv is just a seminary degree. Big deal. Southern Baptist is a very liberal Baptist school. They would not answer whether they believed in the Virgin Birth, when asked by the president of their denomination!] Ed is a columnist for Outreach Magazine and Catalyst Monthly, serves on the advisory council of Sermon Central and Christianity Today's Building Church Leaders, and is frequently cited or interviewed in news outlets such as USA Today and CNN.
Ed is Visiting Professor of Research and Missiology at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Visiting Research Professor at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, and has taught at fifteen other colleges and seminaries. He also serves on the Church Services Team at the International Mission Board.
Ed is currently interim teaching pastor of First Baptist Church of Hendersonville, TN.
Ed's primary role is President of LifeWay Research and LifeWay's Missiologist in Residence.
He has written the following books:
• Planting New Churches in a Postmodern Age (2003),
• Perimeters of Light: Biblical Boundaries for the Emerging Church (w/ Elmer Towns, 2004),
• Breaking the Missional Code (w/ David Putman, 2006),
• Planting Missional Churches (2006),
• Comeback Churches (with Mike Dodson, 2007),
• 11 Innovations in the Local Church (with Elmer Towns and Warren Bird, 2007), and
• Compelled by Love: The Most Excellent Way to Missional Living (with Philip Nation)
Most are open to the public but you should check with the web page or house for more information.
