What Others Say About Winn's Teaching...

Winn is a very gifted communicator and teacher. He is able to take Scripture and tough concepts and make them understandable. His teaching style is so very natural and open. He speaks with a lot of humor and is down to earth. After taking a course from him I felt refreshed and was excited about reading Scripture again. —Staci Allen

Through this course I came to know of Winn's strong background in theology and deep understanding of the Bible. The Study Guide is extensive in scope, beautifully constructed, and greatly facilitated the instruction and note taking. There was plenty of interaction during class among all those present. Winn did not evade controversy when it arose. His instruction was interesting, challenging, and enlightening, as well as lively and entertaining. —Tom Ewbank

I’ve taken many Bible classes, but this has been the most effective for my life. Winn’s experience in the Pastorate and his knowledge of the Scripture reach into my life in a powerful and effective way to help me think theologically and experience God in a special way.
—Dale Temple, Pastor, Coastview Christian Fellowship

I have thoroughly enjoyed spending the weekend with you. My eyes have opened and I see many things now much more clearly than previously. You are truly blessed and I am blessed for having heard you. —Ronald Landan

Thanks, Winn, for causing the humanness of God’s word to minister to me. It’s so easy to look at the Old Testament as a story or fairy tale instead of real people serving a loving God. God bless you in your ministry as the Lord teaches his children. —Sharon Parsons

Imagine the difference between a kindergartener just learning to read and a third grader reading a favorite story they’ve read many times. That’s the before and after picture I see of myself after taking a course taught by Winn. The Bible has come alive for me and the way I read it has been forever changed. —Ron Grant

I can’t tell you how impressed I was with your knowledge of the Bible. The enemy almost kept me from coming here to hear you, but I thank God that he didn’t win. I just love your openness, your personality, and your honesty. It was truly an honor to be blessed by God through you. Thank you so much for being obedient. —Sherri Bond

Thank you so much for the biblical overview you presented to Christian Life Fellowship. We have all been blessed through your teaching ministry. Every person present has, no doubt, been encouraged, enlightened, and hopefully has more passion for reading and understanding the word of God. —Sam Thompson, Pastor, Christian Life Fellowship

Being new to the study and understanding of the word of God, Dr. Griffin has provided the much-needed framework to make reading and learning exciting, understandable, and fun. This has been a truly enjoyable and captivating course. The fastest ten hours of learning I've experienced!
—Mitchell Pratt

I gained a fresh perspective on how the New Testament Gospels and Letters were written to address problems... —Marie Vander Molen

I have been wandering and thirsting for at least two years for a way to find new life in reading and studying God's word. I've tried different devotionals and bought a Bible Study for my computer, but they didn't have the spark that I found in learning from you these ten short hours. Thank you so much! —Cyndi Wedeen

What Leaders Are Saying About Winn…

Young leaders I meet across the country (and veteran leaders too) frequently speak of the need for mentoring in leadership - which begins with mentoring in followership. Dr. Winn Griffin is exactly the sort of sagely, experienced person many of these gifted people want and need to help them fulfill their potential.

—Brian McLaren, Pastor, Author, (http://www.anewkindofchristian.com) 

God created the “ideal mentor” in Winn Griffin. He combines in his person biblical wisdom, spiritual discipline, theological depth, generous orthodoxy, story-telling skills, and humor.

—Leonard Sweet, Author, Futurist (http://www.leonardsweet.com) 

There are less and less people on the earth today who have spent their lives immersed in the scriptures. Any poll or study done the last few decades shows that Bible literacy is low and getting worse. Against this dire and gloomy backdrop, someone like Winn Griffin shines. Winn, from a lifetime of study, not only knows the story of the Bible, he knows how to communicate it in simple ways that ordinary people grasp. And once this narrative is grasped, these people then have a story they themselves can begin to embody.

—Todd Hunter, President AlphaUSA, (http://www.alphausa.org) 

As local church pastors we are keenly aware of the lack of Bible understanding among the people we serve. We see people in churches that wrestle with principles from the Bible but don’t understand the overarching story. There are few teachers who can communicate God’s story and mission in our culture and time. Winn Griffin is one of those teachers who has a proven ability to communicate our story, faith and practice. We highly recommend him.

Winn Griffin is a wonderful teacher. His materials are accessible, highly inspiring, and hugely applicable. Most recently using his "Spiritual Gifts for Boneheads," we had the most amazing time leading our whole church through his teaching materials. The results were learning, growth and application.

—Jason Clark, EmergentUK (http://emergent.typepad.com/) 

Winn Griffin has served faithfully in the Vineyard for as long as I can recall. His commitment to nurturing and resourcing pastors has been evident both in the national daily devotions he provided for pastors as well as in his writing and teaching. He is a true servant of the church of the Lord Jesus Christ
