Ed Newton was raised in a deaf world. The only child of two deaf parents, Ed was the voice in the silence for his parents Ron and Libby Newton. Through difficult circumstances and major hardships Ed was radically saved in high school. It was through the spoken word of others and the written Word of God that clarified a call to ministry as a senior in high school. God began to show forth His sovereign will in leading Ed to Clearwater Christian College to gain a Bible education, while affording the opportunity to play college basketball for four years. Ed continued his education journey by receiving a Master's degree in Religious Education from Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary in Memphis, TN and a Doctorate of Ministry in Pulpit Communication and Expository Preaching from Trinity Theological Seminary in Newburg, IN.
Prior to surrendering to a call to a faith based itinerant evangelism ministry, Ed has served the local church in multiple positions such as Youth Minister, Recreation Pastor, as well as Minister of Outreach and Single Adults. Currently, Ed serves in a support role as Staff Evangelist at Faith Baptist Church in Bartlett, TN.
God has uniquely gifted Ed with an ability to connect with various age groups, personally and corporately. His communication style can be summarized as "passion with content" while seeking to inspire people to be passionate, dedicated followers of Christ. He and his wife, (College Sweetheart) Stephanie, and their three daughters, London, Lola, and Liv reside in Lakeland, TN. Their desire is to leave a "fat dent" on the planet for the glory of God.
