Purpose-Driven Profile

Rick War­ren (pas­tor and author) is the sub­ject of a very favor­able arti­cle in Time.

My favorite excerpt: Remark­ably, War­ren has man­aged to spread his approach to the gospel with­out exten­sive nation­al media cov­er­age or a TV min­istry. He turned down an invi­ta­tion from Oprah to be on her show, though he says he’d like to meet her some­day. “Too many min­is­ters start out as ser­vants and end up as celebri­ties,” he says. “I want to use my influ­ence to do some good, and I can get more done out of the lime­light.”
