Background

Brian Chilton grew up in the church and became a Christian at an early age. Entering the ministry at the age of 16, he was ready to serve the Lord, but was not prepared to face the intellectual challenges that would confront his faith. After struggling with issues concerning the reliability of the Bible which led to a form of agnosticism, Brian spent 7 years out of the ministry. However, in the summer of 2007, he read two books that (outside of the Bible itself) would forever transform his life: Lee Strobel's The Case for Christ,and Josh McDowell's The New Evidence that Demands a Verdict.

With historical evidence pointing to the Bible's reliability and the validity of Christ's resurrection, Brian reentered the ministry with a new-found focus on theology and apologetics.
