Off to a Good Start!
The first month of 2026 is in the books and it has proven to be a productive time! We are continuing strong with releases of the 3 series we are alternating between, with “Artifact Facts” being a huge hit this month! The video on “The Goliath Shard” reached over 10,000 views in just one week, and “The Nabonidus Chronicles” is not far behind and has nearly 100 comments!
I am happy to be back recording more videos and podcasts once again! It was a long break for me as I was recovering from my neck surgery that took place at the end of November. The nerves in my hands are still putting me through a lot of pain as the doctors say they are firing back up after my surgery. It makes it very challenging at times for me to type new lessons, but by the grace of God I am getting it done! The doctors are still unsure if the sensation in my hands will go back to normal or not, so please continue to keep praying for God’s healing over me.
At the end of January, I was asked to return to Kettlebrook Church’s youth group, whom I have been speaking to for several years now. The first night I presented on “Dinosaurs and the Bible” to their middle school youth, and the next night I taught “If God is Good, Why Does He Allow Suffering?” to their high schoolers. Both nights went extremely well and each group had about 100 people present. Several adults and youth said that the talk on suffering was particularly impactful and eye-opening. Many also said that the night I come to speak is their favorite time of the year at youth group!
Book E4F for Your Event!
My calendar is starting to fill up and I am so excited to get back out on the road, teaching people of all ages how to find deep faith and how to defend it through apologetics. If you are interested in booking me for your event or to fill the pulpit for a Sunday sermon, click here.
“So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” I Corinthians 10:31 ESV

Marine Biology Trip – 1 Month to Register!
This year’s Marine Biology Trip is only a couple of months away and registration will be closing on February 26th. We currently have only 4 spots remaining, so sign up now!
Thank you to all who responded and prayed over our vehicle dilemma! I am pleased to say that God has supplied us with a solution! However, please continue to pray over this trip, as we are making final preparations. May God’s hand be over it all and that everything would fall into place smoothly.
Become an MB Sponsor!
I have been running the Marine Biology Trip for nearly 40 years now and not only has it been an opportunity to teach students about marine biology, but also to connect with their Creator and find faith in Jesus Christ. Operational costs have increased and to keep fees affordable for students, we are looking to raise sponsorship funds to close the gap in expenses and continue this ministry. There are three levels of sponsorships with different perks:
Gold Sponsor ($1,000): Special mentions on our website and on social media, name/business printed on our group t-shirts, name/business printed in our official handbook
Silver Sponsor ($500): Name/business printed on our group t-shirts, name/business printed in our official handbook
Bronze Sponsor ($100): Name/business printed in our official handbook

Support
I may say it every month, but thank you to all of our supporters, whether you support us through your prayers or financially, we really could not do this without you.
We are still looking for more financial support to help offset the costs it takes to run this ministry. We are currently 78% funded for the year, and we are praying that God brings us the donations to make us fully funded!
Keep Us In Your Prayers
“Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.” Ephesians 3:20-21
