Brian McLaren is an author, speaker, activist, and public theologian. A former college English teacher and pastor, he is a passionate advocate for “a new kind of Christianity” – just, generous, and working with people of all faiths for the common good. He is a faculty member with the Center for Action and Contemplation and a podcaster with the CAC’s podcast, Learning How to See.

He is a co-host of the Southern Lights Conference and supports a new progressive ecumenical campus ministry network called ZOE. He has written more than 20 books, including his newest, The Last Voyage (2025), the first installment in a science fiction trilogy. 

Brian also mentions his book, Life After Doom, a few times, which speaks to this era of multi-crisis and how we are called to a more compassionate and contemplative perspective in approaching these often complex issues.

Brian is married to Grace, and they have four adult children and five grandchildren. They live near the Gulf of Mexico in SW Florida, and Brian’s personal interests include wildlife and ecology, fly fishing and kayaking, music and songwriting, and literature.
