Voddie Baucham Jr., the prominent pastor, theologian, and author, died on September 25, 2025, after suffering an emergency medical incident. He was 56 years old. While some social media speculation suggested a heart attack, the exact nature of the medical emergency has not been officially disclosed. Baucham had a known history of serious heart problems, including a diagnosis of full-blown heart failure in 2021, subsequent quadruple bypass surgery, and treatment for severe heart arrhythmias. His ministry described his death as peaceful, entering "into his rest and the immediate presence of the Savior whom he loved, trusted, and served." He is survived by his wife Bridget and their children.
