If God exists, why is there evil in the world? How can students defend their faith? What do we do when we are doubting God?
We are so excited to have Bobby Conway on the show today to answer these questions for us, and more! Bobby is the host of One Minute Apologist, but also wears the hats of husband, father, author, speaker, and friend. Listen as Bobby offers credible answers to life’s most curious questions and everyday issues, and how they relate to ancient, but all too relevant Scripture.
Bobby Conway
In short, I grew up in the land of fruit and nuts. That’s right, you guessed it. California! I wish I could give you a list of all my great credentials growing up. Unfortunately, I can’t. I earned a summa cum laude in sin. If I had to give you a list of words to describe me before becoming a Christian it would look something like this: insecure, angry, confused, uneducated, promiscuous, boozer, addictive, foolish, rebellious, and a decent baseball player. Obviously, this is a recipe for disaster. While living in Southern California at the age of nineteen my college baseball teammate took me to hear an evangelist by the name of Greg Laurie. I resonated with Greg—a recovering pothead, laid back, and a blue jean-wearing Bible-teaching evangelist. His message resonated and soon afterward I was following Jesus. After becoming a Christian and getting my life cleaned up, I developed such a passion for God that I couldn’t imagine doing anything but full-time ministry. I hung up the cleats and headed off to Conway, Arkansas where I would eventually go to Bible College. During my time there I served as a staff evangelist and a teaching pastor. With a desire to be further equipped for ministry, I went to Dallas Theological Seminary where I earned my Masters of Theology. I also have a Doctorate of Ministry in Apologetics from Southern Evangelical Seminary and I’m currently wrapping up a Ph.D. at the University of Birmingham (England) in the Philosophy of Religion department where I’m studying under David Cheetham and Yujin Nagasawa. Since 1996, I’ve been married to my bride Heather, and together we have two children, Dawson and Haley, both empty nested. My wife and I enjoyed speaking on Family Life’s Weekend to Remember national speaking team for nearly ten years and serving as Lead Pastor of Life Fellowship (a church we started) for almost fifteen years at Life Fellowship Church in the suburbs of Charlotte, North Carolina. I now spend my time in Southern California teaching courses at Calvary Chapel Bible College in Murrieta, while also working at The One Minute Apologist. My hobbies include date nights with my bride, family time with my kids, traveling, and reading lots of nerdy books!
