How to Finish Strong in Every Season of Life
Transitions aren’t wasted time. Learn how Caleb’s story challenges us to release, refine, re-enter, and finish strong for God’s purposes.
“Built into every social media platform are analytics and tools to try to provoke you and me. Frankly, they are also trying to get us to vote a certain way, click on a certain video, or spend our money a certain way. So we now have an economy built on trying to provoke us primarily through social media. We as Christians sadly fall right into that trap and often get provoked by the wrong things.”
Dr. Sean McDowell is a gifted communicator with a passion for equipping the church, and in particular young people, to make the case for the Christian faith. He connects with audiences in a tangible way through humor and stories while imparting hard evidence and logical support for viewing all areas of life through a Biblical worldview. Sean is an Associate Professor in the Christian Apologetics program at Talbot School of Theology, Biola University. He is the co-host for the Think Biblically podcast, which is one of the most popular podcasts on faith and cultural engagement.
Sean still teaches one high school Bible class, which helps give him exceptional insight into the prevailing culture so he can impart his observations poignantly to fellow educators, pastors, and parents alike. Sean is listed among the top 100 apologists. He graduated summa cum laude from Talbot Theological Seminary with a double master’s degree in Theology and Philosophy. He earned a Ph.D. in Apologetics and Worldview Studies from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in 2014.
Sean is the author, co-author, or editor of over twenty books including Set Adrift (with John Marriott), A Rebel’s Manifesto, The Fate of the Apostles, So The Next Generation Will Know (with J. Warner Wallace), Evidence that Demands a Verdict (with Josh McDowell), Same-Sex Marriage: A Thoughtful Approach to God’s Design for Marriage (with John Stonestreet), Is God Just a Human Invention? (with Jonathan Morrow) and Understanding Intelligent Design (with William A. Dembski). In April 2000, Sean married his high school sweetheart, Stephanie. They have three children and live in San Juan Capistrano, California.
