Clint M. Byars

I’m the lead pastor of Forward Church just south of Atlanta, which means I spend a lot of time helping people unlearn bad theology, relax, and realize God is actually better than they were told. I have a knack for taking complicated doctrine and making it simple, not because the Bible is shallow, but because God is. He’s good. Consistently. Unapologetically. And He actually likes people.

I didn’t grow up in church, which gave me a front-row seat to both drug addiction and the darker side of spiritual reality, including demonic oppression. That story became my book *Devil Walk*. It’s not written to scare you, glorify the devil, or sell spiritual paranoia, but to tell the truth about what Jesus actually defeated and how freedom really works when the gospel is taken seriously.

Most of my writing centers on identity, mind renewal, the finished work of Christ, and learning how to live from the inside out instead of striving from the outside in. I often discuss Quantum Physics in my teachings and videos, and how it can give us insight into the spiritual realms and dimensions. I’ve also created a set of mind-renewal resources called Tools for Transformation, combining Scripture, original music, and guided reflection to help people believe what the Bible already says is true about them. My theology may not fit neatly into a box, but it’s relentlessly biblical, and always rooted in grace, truth, and the belief that Jesus really meant what He said.

I love being a dad, and can proudly say I'm still in love with my wife, Sara, whom I married in 1997. Connect with me online for lots of free resources and sign up for my emails.
