Birthed out of his passion to help Christians live like Christians, Ingram founded “Living on the Edge,” a teaching and discipleship ministry that is heard over 900 radio outlets in the USA, has a million weekly listeners, and is broadcasted on television in all the Arab- and Russian-speaking countries of the world, along with parts of Africa and South East Asia. It was there that God took those coaching and communication skills way beyond his wildest dreams. He started out at a small rural Texan church where it grew from 30 to 500 people, and then moved to California where he led a church congregation of 1,000 that grew to 4,000. He realized that his coaching experience and education from WLU actually prepared him to “coach” people for Christ and become a pastor.įrom that time on, Ingram has been on quite the journey. While there, he caught a vision for something he never dreamed of … that God could use an ordinary person like him to accomplish extraordinary things. I love to get a good work, play tennis with my kids and always up for a pick-up game of basketball.Immediately after graduating from West Liberty State College in 1976, with the dream of teaching and coaching basketball, Chip Ingram played on three international basketball teams throughout South America and the Orient against Olympic teams.
