Sean McDowell Biography

Dr. Sean McDowell is a gifted communicator with a passion for equipping the church—particularly young people—to make the case for the Christian faith. He connects with audiences in a tangible way through humor and stories while offering hard evidence and logical support for viewing all areas of life through a biblical worldview. McDowell is an associate professor in the Christian apologetics program at Talbot School of Theology, Biola University.

McDowell taught high school Bible classes both part time and full time for 21 years, which gives him exceptional insight into prevailing culture and enables him to share observations poignantly with educators, pastors and parents alike. In 2008, he received the Educator of the Year award for San Juan Capistrano, California. The Association of Christian Schools International awarded exemplary status to his apologetics training. He is listed among the top 100 apologists. McDowell graduated summa cum laude from Talbot Theological Seminary with a double master’s degree in theology and philosophy. He earned a doctorate in apologetics and worldview studies from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in 2014.

Traveling throughout the United States and abroad, McDowell speaks at camps, churches, schools, universities and conferences. He has spoken for organizations including Focus on the Family, the Chuck Colson Center for Christian Worldview, Cru, Download Youth Ministry, Hume Lake Christian Camps, Fellowship of Christian Athletes and the Association of Christian Schools International. He is the co-host of the "Think Biblically" podcast, one of the most popular podcasts on faith and cultural engagement. His YouTube channel, “Dr. Sean McDowell,” is among the top apologetics channels, and he is also on the teaching staff at his home church.

McDowell is the author, co-author or editor of more than 20 books, including "End the Stalemate," "Chasing Love," "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). He is the general editor for "A New Kind of Apologist," "Apologetics for a New Generation," "Sharing the Good News with Mormons" and "The Apologetics Study Bible for Students." His blog is among the leading apologetics blogs.
