Ed Young, Fellowship Church

Pastor Ed Young of Fellowship Church learned at the feet of his elders. His father, Ed Young, leads the powerhouse congregation of Second Baptist in Houston. But the son is doing things his way, with a fashion blog and 15 books, including the bestselling Fifty Shades of They and The Sexperiment. What puts him on this list? Besides tens of thousands of congregants, he has C3 (Creative Church Conference) on GOD TV and a series of messages that can be found on Netflix. Young can also be heard via One Place, which is a one-stop shop for Christian devotionals, ministries and podcasts.

Tony Evans, Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship Church

The Alternative, a national ministry that Tony Evans Sr. developed, has effectively put him everywhere. It includes a radio show that airs on over 1,200 radio outlets in America, including KCBI-FM (90.9) in Dallas, and in 130 countries via Trans World Radio and other international partners, such as oneplace.com. The TV piece is just as impressive: Dr. Tony Evans airs nationally on Trinity Broadcasting Network at 6:30 a.m. Sundays and via Apple TV. But it's the app and podcasts that bring in "over 10 million downloads yearly," according to CMO Heather Lynn. (It also can't hurt that his daughter, Priscilla Shirer, is an author and one of the country's most respected teachers of the Bible, and his son Anthony is a bona fide star in Christian music.)
