DR. DAVID PLATT is the author of the New York Times best-selling book Radical. He is also lead pastor of the Church at Brook Hills in Birmingham, Alabama.
David’s first love in ministry is multiplying the gospel by making disciples. “I believe that God has uniquely created every one of his people to impact the world,” he says. “God is in the business of blessing his people so that his ways and his salvation might be made known among all peoples.” To this end, David has traveled throughout the United States and around the world, teaching the Bible and training church leaders.
David has earned two undergraduate degrees from the University of Georgia and three advanced degrees, including a doctor of philosophy from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. Prior to coming to Brook Hills, he served the seminary as dean of chapel and assistant professor of expository preaching and apologetics and was on staff at Edgewater Baptist Church in New Orleans.
David and his wife, Heather, are Atlanta natives who made their home in New Orleans until they were displaced by Hurricane Katrina. They live with their family in Birmingham.
