i have to say andy is hands down the best given the criteria…any topic, any environment. i’ve seen him in numerous environments with numerous topics and every time, he blows me away with his ability to make the complex very simple. he’s so doggone intuitive…and smart…and funny…he’s the best.

Brad, I have been listening to and watching Andy (Stanley) since his sermons have been online. He is definitely on my list. I attend LifeChurch (in Stillwater, OK…right down the road from Bristow as you know) and I would put Craig (Groeschel) on the list for sure, but then I’m torn…I love Louie (Giglio), but also love Perry (Noble), Mark (Driskell?), Matt (Chandler), Francis (Chan) and others.
I find it ironic that people comment on pastors in general terms and talk of how out of touch they can be with the culture(and many, many are), but if you look at them individually there are so many doing such amazing things. Men that are shaking up the church in order to reach lost souls in a culture that has fallen so far (morally) so fast. Men that put their own lives aside and live for Christ in order to further the kingdom and use the gift of communication that God has given them. Men that are smart enough to realize they could use that gift in the secular world and make a ton of money “communicating” some corporate message, but have listened to their hearts and followed the call to a life of service for Jesus. A life where the focus is not wealth or fame or ego, but a life where finding new ways to communicate to the lost and/or showing other christian leaders how to communicate better to the lost is their sole reason for being. I am humbled by these men and their dedication and I know for every conference where they receive wild applause they have had many more times when they suffered at the hands of “church” people. I pray we won’t stand in awe of these men’s abilities, but we will take the message to heart live a life worthy of the one who died in our place; which I think is what all of these guys are talking about…=)

Brad, I’m going to agree with your top 3. I think you’re right on. I love to see how God is using such diverse men and women to speak into our church communities these days!

My first time in your blog and LOVE it. Look forward to reading more soon.

- Rob Bell
- Francis Chan
- Andy Stanley
- Louie Giglio

Rob Bell. He violates every known principle of communication and still grips audiences.
