The son of missionaries, Dr. Jobe grew up in a small rural village in Spain. At age 17, he left his village of 200 people to attend
Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. He started a little church in Chicago with 18 people in a drug-infested neighborhood. Fast-forward to 2023 and he is the president of Moody Bible Institute and pastor of that little church,
New life Community Church, which now has a weekly attendance of 7,000, meeting at 27 locations in the Chicagoland area and in 8 cities internationally. Additionally, Dr. Jobe is the founder of
New Life Centers, an organization focused on helping youth in poverty. He is also the daily host of the nationwide radio program,
Straight Talk, and the author of
Unstuck: Out of Your Cave and Into Your Call.
