Profile

Brett Younger is the Associate Professor of Preaching at the McAfee School of Theology at Mercer University in Atlanta. He teaches introductory and advanced courses in preaching as well as classes in worship and writing.

Before coming to McAfee, Dr. Younger served as a pastor for twenty-two years in Texas, Kansas, and Indiana, most recently at the Broadway Baptist Church in Fort Worth. He is the author of The Lighter Side: Serving Up Life Lessons with a Smile and Who Moved My Pulpit? He and his wife Carol co-authored Mark: Finding Ourselves in the Story. Brett writes a monthly column for Baptists Today and a quarter of the lessons for Formations Commentary. He has written numerous articles and sermons that have appeared in a variety of journals and periodicals that not many people read. He has a blog, peculiarpreacher.com, that needs better graphics.

He received his B.A. in religion from Baylor University, and his M.Div. and Ph.D. from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Brett and Carol (also a graduate of Baylor and Southern) have two sons, Graham, a student at the University of Georgia Law School, and Caleb, a student at Georgetown University.
