  • Dr. Frank Turek is the President of CrossExamined.org, an evangelical, inter-denominational Christian apologetics ministry focused on presenting evidence for Christianity and answering skeptical objections.
  • He is a former U.S. Navy aviator, with a master’s degree from George Washington University, and a doctorate from the Southern Evangelical Seminary.
  • He engages in public forums at campus/church seminars, debates, podcast/radio, and video teaching, and regularly speaks in hostile/skeptical campus environments and has debated prominent skeptics (e.g., Christopher Hitchens, Michael Shermer).
