About Us
Lifestyle Christianity began in 2014 as the evangelistic ministry of Todd White. Todd — the Founder and President of Lifestyle Christianity — became a Christian in 2004 when he had a powerful salvation experience. Todd was a drug addict and atheist for 22 years. He was at the point of suicide when God came into his life and set him free.
Todd White, along with the Lifestyle Christianity Team, travel around the world with a burning passion for people to walk in their God-given identity. To date, Lifestyle Christianity has seen thousands equipped with tools to reach the lost. Through LCU, Power & Love, online and digital media, and Todd’s preaching schedule, the ministry is mobilizing people all over the world to share the love of Jesus Christ.
Lifestyle Christianity desires to see people walk in their God-given identity.
Gripped by the simplicity of the Gospel and what Jesus Christ accomplished on the cross, our heart is to see people brave the waves of fear and share the love of Jesus everywhere that they go.
