Brian Zahnd is the founder and senior pastor of Word of Life Church in St. Joseph, Missouri. Born in Savannah, Missouri, he became a Christian as a teenager through a dramatic encounter with Jesus during the height of the Jesus movement. Soon after, he began holding Bible studies in high school, leading a coffeehouse ministry, and preaching in whatever church was crazy enough to let a long-haired Jesus freak into the pulpit. In 1981, Zahnd and his wife, Peri, founded Word of Life Church.
Known for his passion for the church and his thought-provoking, prophetic, challenging style of preaching and teaching, Brian travels extensively, ministering in churches and at pastors' conferences around the world. Brian's blog, brianzhand.com, offers a diverse menu of interesting and provocative insights about the King and His kingdom.
