Early Life and Ministry
Brian Zahn came to faith during the Jesus movement in the 1970s and quickly became a leader in the Christian community. He eventually started Word of Life Church in his early 20s, which grew out of the Jesus music scene. The church was fervent and focused on the charismatic movement. Over time, Zahn began to feel some discontent with the consumerism and Americanized version of Christianity he encountered. This led him to explore the writings of the early church fathers, which sparked a transformation in his thinking.
