Hot Topics!
Summer has kicked off with a bang, and we have had a large amount of traffic coming by our YouTube channel! I offered a surprise mini-series on dinosaurs titled “Dinosaurs and the Bible” and “Dinosaurs and Man.” It turned out to be a huge hit with a total of almost 23,000 views, and still climbing!
Our video series Artifact Facts has also been very popular this past month as the series is starting to come to an end. We are closing it out with the highly controversial relic, the Shroud of Turin, which many believe could be the actual burial cloth of Jesus. I will be discussing this artifact in a three-part episode – Part Two will be released today, and I hope you check it out! I dare say that my opinion on this shroud and the likelihood of its true authenticity has changed as I have studied this more closely. Maybe yours will too.
This past Sunday, I had the opportunity to give the sermon where I regularly attend, West Bend Community Church, and the passage was from John 8:31-47. I spoke on what makes one a true Christian or a false one. The feedback I received was phenomenal! Many approached me and said that it was “absolutely amazing and I could listen to you for hours.” One woman expressed to me, “I have been struggling so much. Am I truly a Christian? Are my kids Christians? This was exactly what I have been praying for to hear.” And another person, who was visiting the church for the first time said, “This was exactly what I needed to hear today.” Praise God for using me for His work!
“For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.” Galatians 5:13 ESV
Upcoming Events
I am thankful to God for opening doors for me to travel to churches around Wisconsin and Illinois over the summer to speak. I still have a few openings available, otherwise we are beginning to book out into Fall and Winter.
The youth group and school season is just around the corner – consider having me come speak to your group!
On August 12th, from 6 to 8 p.m. CT, we will be offering our second livestream event! Join us for an evening of learning and fun as I answer some people’s biggest questions surrounding their faith. If you have your own question, send it in to info@evidence4faith.org! Also, we will be giving away one of my books at this event! It will be a night you don’t want to miss!

We are Free!
May you have a blessed Fourth of July as we join as a nation and celebrate 250 years of freedom. And I pray you remember always that true freedom comes from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Because of His sacrifice on the cross, we are no longer bound by the chains of sin and death. And let us continue to pray for our country and its leaders and that our nation would once again strive to please the Lord.
“Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord” Psalm 33:12a (ESV)
