Steve McVey (N/A–) is an American Christian preacher, author, and founder of Grace Walk Ministries, renowned for his emphasis on living in God’s grace rather than religious legalism. Born in the United States, specific details about his early life and birth date are not widely publicized, though he grew up in a Christian family that took him to church from a young age. After becoming a senior pastor at 19, he served in local churches for 17 years until 1990, when a personal crisis of burnout and misery led to a transformative shift in his faith. This turning point, marked by a realization that God desired intimacy over performance, prompted him to study Romans and Galatians, reshaping his theology around identity in Christ. In 1996, McVey established Grace Walk Ministries, a discipleship training organization based in the Tampa Bay area, where he now resides with his wife, Melanie, and their four adult children and five grandchildren nearby. He has authored over 20 books, including the bestselling Grace Walk (1995, over 250,000 copies sold), 52 Lies Heard in Church Every Sunday, and Walking in the Will of God, translated into 15 languages. His preaching, delivered through conferences, radio (the daily Grace Walk program), and online platforms like YouTube, rejects rule-based Christianity for a grace-centered life, influencing millions globally. With a D.Min. from Luther Rice Seminary, he also serves as Professor of Grace Studies at Global Grace Seminary, leaving a legacy of liberating believers from spiritual bondage.
