| Because of his fascination with Scripture and its message, Steve Schaefer has repeatedly explored the land of the Bible. His experiences include hot-air ballooning over eerie Cappadocian rock formations in Turkey, trekking through the ancient "rose red" city of Petra in Jordan, sloshing through Hezekiah's serpentine aqueduct in Israel, and scaling Jebel Musa (traditionally identified as Mount Sinai) in Egypt. But he now invites readers to embark on a different kind of biblical adventure in his new book, Living in the Overlap: How Jesus' Kingdom Proclamation Can Transform Your World. (For more details check out LivingInTheOverlap.com) He grew up in a Christian home and accepted Jesus as his Savior at age ten. His family attended a small Baptist church in Pennsylvania. But when he got involved with the Christian youth group Campus Life in high school, he met kids whose love for Jesus blew him away. Their faith in God helped them cope with everything from taking tests to losing loved ones. He began to want what they had. |
 Steve Schaefer | Shortly after midnight on New Year's Day of his sophomore year he made a decision that changed his life. "I watched the ball drop in Times Square on television as we rang in the new year, and I felt that this was a time for a new beginning," he says. "I got out my Bible and came to John 8:36 which says, 'So if the Son sets you free, you will indeed be free' (LB). I wanted the freedom I had seen in my Christian friends. So I got on my knees and told God I wanted him to be in the driver's seat of my life." That began his adult life of faith. After high school, Schaefer attended Oral Roberts University where he majored in Communication Arts and minored in Theological and Historical Studies. One of his textbooks, George Eldon Ladd's classic A Theology of the New Testament, introduced him to the Bible's teaching about the kingdom of God as an "already" and "not yet" reality, sparking a lifelong fascination with the subject. |
| After graduation he began a career as a television producer and production manager, initially working in Christian television, and eventually working on productions such as the Emmy winning CBS Schoolbreak Special Never Say Goodbye, the ABC Afterschool Special Terrible Things My Mother Told Me, the Family Channel sitcom Big Brother Jake, and the Australian-based drama Snowy River: The McGregor Saga. Schaefer has pursued graduate level studies at Jerusalem University College in Israel. He loves to read and is an inveterate traveler, having spent time on every continent except one. "When the first Barnes & Noble opens in Antarctica, I'll be there," he says. A popular speaker and teacher, he currently works as a Managing Producer in the International Programming department of CBN WorldReach, a ministry that produces evangelistic television programs and conducts humanitarian activities around the world. |
