Mikel Del Rosario, M.A., Th.M., Ph.D.
Got questions about God, Jesus, or the Bible? Need more confidence in spiritual conversations?
I'm here to help you find clear answers to tough questions and explain your faith with courage and compassion.
I built this Web site as a resource to guide you through some of the most helpful lessons I've learned studying with world-class scholars and interviewing top Christian thought-leaders while earning my Master of Arts in Christian Apologetics at Biola University, Master of Theology (Th.M) and Ph.D at Dallas Theological Seminary (DTS), focusing on the historical Jesus.
But you shouldn't have to be a scholar to navigate your questions, doubts, or engage with your skeptical friends and family members. That's why my approach features accessible apologetics and cultural engagement training with a focus on ministry.
Professor and Podcaster
I'm a Professor of Bible and Theology at Moody Bible Institute. Previously, I taught Apologetics and Religion at Jessup University. I've also taught at Biola University, Western Seminary, and Dallas Theological Seminary. There, I served as Cultural Engagement Manager, producing the Table Podcast for the first 10 years of the show, serving as a podcast host for 6 years, and publishing 31 articles with my mentor Dr. Darrell Bock in the theological journal Bibliotheca Sacra.
In 2022, I launched my own podcast on the Christianity Today Network: The Apologetics Guy Show. It's available wherever you listen to podcasts and on my YouTube channel.
