In 1979, Second Baptist Church in Houston, TX launched its first weekly broadcast of edited worship services on local television, channel 39. The vision for this broadcast was to attract local residents to the church, minister to existing members, and spread the gospel beyond the walls of the church. Little did those early visionaries realize the seeds they were planting…and the worldwide outreach that would grow from that simple desire.

In 1982, a local radio program emerged, as well as television broadcasting on a national network, which provided nationwide exposure.

Today, Winning Walk has grown into an international television, radio and internet outreach. The Winning Walk program and ministry takes its title from Dr. Ed Young’s first book, The Winning Walk: Outfitting For the Christian Adventure.

As Dr. Young points out, walking involves practically every muscle in the body. And no one is born with the ability to walk but it requires training, strength, balance, coordination, determination, and time. Walking with God is no different. Nobody instantly becomes an overcoming Christian. You must take those first timid steps clinging to the Father's hand before you can walk worthy of your calling as a child of the King. Like all journeys, walking the winning walk requires the proper equipment and preparation. Dr. Young’s passion is to outfit your life with the Word of God, so you will be able to follow wherever the Master leads and experience the abundant life He intends us to have.
