Ben Haden is an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church in America. He became internationally known through the medium of one of the most successful of the twentieth century religious broadcasts, Changed Lives. Originating from the services of the First Presbyterian Church in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Haden drew the attention of television audiences all over America and the world through his unique communication style and evangelical Biblical claims. With his background as an attorney, his pulpit approach was sometimes described as arguing a case before a jury. With his background in the CIA and as CEO for a daily newspaper, Haden leveraged his highly secular background and his keen Biblical insights to speak to the hearts of men and women living in the modern world. Haden was also the speaker on the Radio Bible Study Hour, succeeding The Rev. Dr. Donald Grey Barnhouse of Tenth Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia. Mr. Haden was an atheist until he heard the Gospel of Christ from a merchant and became a Christian in 1954.
