Bio:
You could call Larry McKnight a happy, secure Jesus follower—in spite of leading as a pastor and bible teacher for 40-plus years! Larry is so thankful to the Holy Spirit that his relationship with the Father remains fresh, open, and biblical. By learning to be child-like and staying focused on being vitally connected to Jesus, Larry lives mostly free from guilt, shame, and insecurity. He’s passionate to help you do the same.
Grounded with a degree in Pastoral Theology from the founding days of Salem Bible College in Oregon, Larry pioneered churches for the Assemblies of God, the Vineyard, and (for the past 11-years) leads a small hybrid local/online church in Green Mountain Falls, CO called Joyland and Joylandlife.com.
Larry married Vickie when she was but an infant–45-years ago! They’re still in love.
Larry, what do you like to do? What is your passion?
I love to pastor, teach, and lead people to discover the infinite and real love God has for them.
As a pastor, I love to see people come into new levels of intimacy and security with their Heavenly Father.
As a teacher, I love to open up the Bible as the exciting witness to Jesus that I believe Holy Spirit inspired it to be.
As a leader, I love to provoke people to ask questions of Papa more than I like telling them my own answers about Him.
