Billy’s Apologetic Speaking Topics

Do the people you know ask difficult questions like the following:

• “How do I know that God Exists?”

• “Why does God allow evil in the world?”

• “How do I know the Bible is true?”

• “Did Jesus really rise from the dead?”

• “Hasn’t science proven Christianity false?”

I would be honored to come alongside you and help you and your people think through these type of questions!

Biographical Information

I have been actively involved in church work for over 15 years as both a lay person and a full-time staff member. I was the student minister at Mountain View Baptist Church in Wetumpka, Alabama (2007-2017), where I oversaw the ministries to children, youth, and college/career students. Currently, I am a pastor at Riverside Heights Baptist Church in Tallassee, AL.  I am also an adjunct professor of apologetics at Birmingham Theological Seminary where I teach at the Montgomery extension center.  I’ve earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Religious Studies from the University of Alabama (2002), a Master of Divinity degree from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary (2006), and a Master of Arts in Apologetics degree from Birmingham Theological Seminary (2014). My interest in apologetics was born in my religious studies classes at the University of Alabama where both students and professors challenged me to give reasons for my Christian faith. These challenges drove me to dive head-first into apologetics and to voraciously seek answers to the many questions and objections that others had regarding Christianity. My desire is primarily to show others the power of the gospel message, and secondly, to explain the numerous reasons to believe that Christianity is true. Most of my sessions, which are listed below, come with handouts and are in PowerPoint presentations. You may contact me by Filling Out the Contact Form Below if you would like to plan a teaching/preaching service with him. I currently live in Wetumpka, Alabama with my wife, Jessica, and our four children. You may connect with me on my blog at www.billyreinhardt.com or at my Twitter handle (@tryhislove) or at LinkedIn (search engine “Gospel Minister” with Billy’s name), Facebook, or Google+.

Suggested use for youth, college or adult ministries:

Take 3-5 of the sessions and make a Disciple Now Weekend out of it.  Discussion questions can be provided for the students to use at the host homes based on the main sessions you choose. Or you could choose a one-night event, a mini-conference, a Retreat, or any other appropriate setting. I also love to simply Preach & share my testimony, so revivals or filling in for your services would be a possibility as well.

Apologetic Topics Billy can speak on (sessions are typically 45 minutes to 1 hour in length and can be modified for your venue’s needs):
