In honor of Holy Week, we're taking a break from studying the ladies of the Old Testament and focusing on one of the key figures of Resurrection Sunday, Mary Magdalene. And we're thrilled to welcome our very first guest to the podcast, Dr. Jeremiah J. Johnston! 

Jeremiah J. Johnston, PhD, MA, MDiv, BA, is a New Testament scholar, pastor, author, nationally syndicated radio host, Bible teacher, and apologist, and he ministers internationally as president of Christian Thinkers Society. Jeremiah loves the local church and also serves as pastor of apologetics and cultural engagement at Prestonwood Baptist Church and dean of spiritual development at Prestonwood Christian Academy. Jeremiah’s passion is working with churches and pastors in equipping Christians to give intellectually informed reasons for what they believe. Driven by the Great Commandment, Jeremiah’s calling and the mission of Christian Thinkers Society is to equip Christians to love God with all their hearts and minds. Jeremiah is married to Audrey, and they are parents to five children—Lily Faith, Justin, and the triplets: Abel, Ryder, and Jaxson!

Dr. Johnston's latest book, Body of Proof: A Study on the Resurrection of Jesus, is available NOW. We highly encourage you to go through this study on your own or with a group to strengthen your faith in our risen Savior!
