DR. STEPHEN PHINNEY
It is with the Lord's humility and gratitude that I serve as a teacher, film producer, and writer for the Lord Jesus Christ. Every word I write, and every lesson I teach, is a testament to His boundless indwelling Life. Being entrusted with the sacred duty to share His message and to guide others in their faith journey is an honor beyond measure. My heart is filled with thanksgiving as I endeavor to reflect His indwelling Life in all that I do.

MINISTRY
OBJECTIVE
Building and equipping members of the Body of Christ to complete the work of service through the indwelling life of Jesus Christ. Since Worldview is formed through personal identity, Dr. Phinney's objective is to serve the hurting through providing practical and proven materials & media to further equip each participant in embracing the life-transforming message of the Exchanged Life—" Not I but Christ." He focuses on the root cause of cultural and interpersonal problems—spiritual, psychological, and cultural identity. By using the Bible and over 40 years of experience, his grace-oriented & systematic solutions to worldview problems are refreshing and comforting – thus his coined term Transformational Biblical Worldview™ development.
Stephen has been married for 47 years to Jane, and they have three grown children, Abigail, Elizabeth, Jessica, eleven grandchildren, and one great grandchild.
Both Jane & Stephen have been dedicated to the institution of marriage, the Biblical view of family-life, and the power of reconciliation within interpersonal relationships within the Lord's structure of family.
Both have been in ministry for 45+ years. They began their journey under the tutorage and mentorship of Dr. Charles Solomon with Grace Fellowship International.
