BIO
Rick Warren is an American evangelical Christian pastor and author. He is the founder and senior pastor of Saddleback Church, an evangelical megachurch in Lake Forest, California, that is the eighth-largest church in the United States (including multi-site churches). He is also a bestselling author of many Christian books, including his guide to church ministry and evangelism, The Purpose Driven Church,
which has spawned a series of conferences on Christian ministry and
evangelism. He is perhaps best known for the subsequent book The Purpose Driven Life which has sold more than 30 million copies, making Warren a New York Times bestselling author.
I like Warren's statement that God does not waste a hurt. I firmly believe that the pain in our lives is instrumental in shaping who we become. I also appreciate his word that humility is not about denying our strengths, but by being honest about our weaknesses. I like how this mindset brings a focus to identifying how we can grow, rather than simply being concerned with downplaying our strengths.
