About

Michael McAfee has traveled to over 40 states to speak about the relevance of the ancient word in our modern world. Michael has had the rare opportunity to study with world-renowned professors and be mentored by renowned pastors, Bible scholars, and leading voices in the Church today.

 

Some of Michael’s favorite topics include:

  • A Bibleless World – Imagine what life would be like without the Bible.
  • From Tablets to Tablets – A journey from Sinai to smartphones. How did we get the Bible?
  • Did God REALLY say? – Confronting errors and issues with the transmission of the Bible.
  • Millennials & the Bible – Trends in Millennial Bible engagement and hope for our future.
  • The Bible & Bigotry – How the Scriptures have been (mis)used on racial issues
  • God & Government –  Does God have absolute authority over governments?

"The Millennials are the first generation of Americans to turn away not just from a knowledge of the Bible but even from respect for the Bible's wisdom and relevance. There are many voices of my generation who are lecturing younger Americans on the Bible's importance and trustworthiness, but we do not fully understand the particular doubts and concerns that are fueling this great refusal. Michael understands these doubts from the inside. He can address the fears and appeal to the hopes and aspirations of this generation in a way that outsiders cannot."
