TESTIMONIALS
First off, thank you for all of your hard work and for me, inspiring and intellectually stimulating discussions. I'm a software industry analyst so I try to be logical and apologetics is a great compliment to faith based on the spirit inside us. I have read your layman books, eagerly await each podcast and am working through The Case for Jesus and the academic book on Apologetics by Carnell that you said was influential to you. My goal is to learn enough to be able to teach an Apologetics class at my church. I also hope to someday meet you to thank you for all you've done for others and me. It would be great if you ever came up to the Boston area to talk or I'd be happy to get you a speaking slot at our church someday. We are a bit more liberal than all of your positions but I'm a believer in as big of a tent as possible for Christianity. Finally, I know your discussions are serious but at Wellesley Congregational Church we were talking about the current state of politics and wealth disparity and one of our ministers told this little joke to lighten up the discussion. You may have heard it but I thought it was pretty good. A man is trying to understand the nature of God, time, and the Universe. He asks God, “How long is a billion years to you?” God says, “A billion years is like a second to me.” The man asks, “Well, how much is a billion dollars to you?” God says, “A billion dollars is like a penny to me.” So the man says, “God, can I have a penny?” And God replies, “In a sec.” Have a wonderful week

I really enjoyed your talks, but I have to tell you I've seen so many of your videos online I knew most of what you were going to say! It was still very much a pleasure to see you speaking in person and I did get a better in depth understanding of your arguments. But your videos are exactly what I wanted to thank for. I just wanted to tell you in person how much your work and ministry played a part in me coming to faith in a time where I was seeking. It was about 9 years ago when I read the bible but was still left with many questions and my mind was holding me back. I even attended an in depth 'Alpha' course in Vancouver that was tailored to seekers, but was still left wanting much more. When I stumbled upon your videos and debates through my online searches I was taken aback. You had answered many of the questions I had, and some I didn't even know I had. I devoured hours of your debates on Youtube (credit to DrCraigVideos) and was left inspired and very much touched. I found it your arguments and lectures empowering and I came away from them with a newfound hope. It all came together for me and was not afraid to share it with my friends, family, or anyone who asked. I just wanted to thank you in person and shake your hand. I also must admit I was a little star struck to have finally met you after all these years, and found myself at a loss for words! I'm sure you've heard it many times before but I wanted to add my name to the list and show appreciation for all the hard work you do. I firmly believe you are doing much needed work in an area where there are not many others like you. I have shared your work with others and am always looking for opportunities to do so. I've had some people even grateful to me for showing them you're work as it was just what they were looking for. No surprise there! I also enjoy and am grateful for your online Defenders series as I get to keep up with you and your class. Your monthly newsletters are really delightful too. Anyways I hope you are well-rested back at home and that I could bring some cheer to your day and wanted to reaffirm the admirable work you do. I hope to meet you again some day under less busy circumstances, and in the meantime I will be praying for you and your ministry. Your brother in Christ,

Hello Dr. Craig! I just want to personally let you know how much of an inspiration you have been to my life, both theologically and apologetically. Furthermore, your conduct has always that of a gentlemen. You are a shining example of Jesus Christ. I know you probably hear things like this all the time, but I just wanted to say this to express my gratitude. Lastly, you have inspired me to continue my studies in the hopes of acquiring a Ph.D. I currently have two theological Masters degrees from Liberty University, largely because of the inspiration your work has had in my life. Thank you and continue doing great things for the kingdom. P.S. A little "shout out" (...a brief hello in response to this message) would make my day:) -Blessings!!!

I recently watched the Craig Beckermann Debate, while my German wife was in the room doing other things. She suddenly says: "You knows what funny? That sounds like a German version of ... what's his name?" "Craig?" I replied. She says "yes, isn't it funny how two people can sound alike?" I then turned the computer screen towards her without comment and watched her jaw drop. She was very impressed, as was I.

Gentlemen, I've just watched the fine-tuning video on drcraigvideos!
Magnificent job! It contains exactly what I love to see in apologetics: uncompromised, sophisticated intellectual argumentation combined with beautiful artistry, which strengthens the content not just from a "teaching technique" perspective, but in a way that maintains a sense of awe and wonder at the same time - establishing a harmonious, natural, and unbroken bridge between both hemispheres of the brain!
So glad Reasonable Faith has taken this initiative! Will be sharing! :-)
