Anyone know anything about this man or heard him preach? A friend of mine has become entralled with his ministry after taking one of his ‘cruise ship missions’.

Anyone know what his affiliation is, where he studied, what he teaches?
 
two things I found out through wikipedia. One, he had a cancer treatment involving a stem cell transplant. And two, his college lost its accreditation, in part because it is too closely intertwined with his church.
 
I’ve heard him on Protestant radio while flipping through. Never actually sat and listened though. I think he’s on American Family Radio and I know many of my co-workers (Baptist and Pentecostal/Charismatic) listen to him every day.
 
re-reading my original post, I think I shouldn’t have written it. I went looking for something bad about the guy, with the intent on posting only stuff that showed him in a bad light, without even knowing the first thing about him or his ministry.
 
I’ve listened to him a few times, mostly on radio. As I recall, he is pretty mainstream evangelical. Along the lines of Pat Robertson. That’s the impression I get.
 
He is on our Christian radio station, which is talk only at night, no music, when I get out of CCD and drive home, so I sometimes listen for a while. He seems evangelical in orientation and I have never heard any overtly anti-Catholic statements. He generally does bible studies that cover several sessions. Some are re-runs. I have heard his study on Joseph in the book of Genesis a couple of times and it really is excellent. He had a study of Paul–his conversion, life and mission which was also good, and I remember it because it avoided the tendency to compare Paul’s words with those of Jesus and to prefer Paul when there seems to be contradiction (which I see often in Protestant inspired writing).

His bible studies seem scholarly and orthodox. Of course at times he will make interpretations that downplay or misinterpret Catholic doctrine, but not often. I know nothing of his credentials am judging entirely on what I have heard him say in his programs.

would I say he is okay to listen to, sure for anyone well grounded enough to know if and when he says something contrary to Catholic interpretation. Would I say do one of his bible studies rather than attend or listen to a Catholic study? No.
 
I used to listen to him before I became Catholic. He had an excellent series on the New Age movement.
 
He has a good speaking voice, I can understand why people would listen to him. Other than the fact that he is your standard evangelical I don’t know that much about him.
 
Before I became Catholic I was an ardent admirer of his. I still believe he preaches some truth. He is not an in your face anticatholic, but like most evangelicals, he believes the Catholic Church feel off the rails during the reign of Constantine. He is also your standard pre-millenial rapture oriented dispensationalist.
In the end, he will be catholic, as we all will if we hold fast to our Lord and Savior

I know the desert you’re talking about, I spent some years there.

God bless you both! Happy, joyful Easter.
