R. Albert Mohler Jr. (1959–present). Born on October 19, 1959, in Lakeland, Florida, to Richard and Janet Mohler, R. Albert Mohler Jr. is an American Southern Baptist pastor, theologian, and president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (SBTS). Raised in a Christian family, he converted at age 10 during a revival service and felt called to ministry in high school. Mohler earned a BA from Samford University (1980), an MDiv (1984), and a PhD in Systematic and Historical Theology (1989) from SBTS. Ordained in 1985, he pastored churches in Florida and Kentucky before serving as editor of The Christian Index (1989–1993). Since 1993, he has led SBTS in Louisville, Kentucky, transforming it into a conservative evangelical stronghold during the Southern Baptist Convention’s theological shift. His preaching, broadcast via The Briefing podcast and radio, analyzes culture through a biblical lens, reaching millions weekly. Mohler authored books like Culture Shift (2008), We Cannot Be Silent (2015), and The Prayer That Turns the World Upside Down (2018), and contributes to outlets like The Wall Street Journal. A key figure in evangelicalism, he served as president of the SBC (2021–2022). Married to Mary since 1983, he has two children, Katie and Christopher, and three grandchildren. Mohler said, “The Gospel demands we speak truth with conviction and love.”
