Since I no longer live in the Midwest, I felt that it was time to change the name of the ministry. And since I often write and speak on the subject of Christ&#8217;s resurrection, Risen was an ideal name.<\/p>\n<p>I still work full-time as the manager of content for the Attractions Design department of Answers in Genesis, but I do plenty of ministry on the side through Risen. This includes maintaining <a href=\"http:\/\/www.midwestapologetics.org\/blog\">a popular blog<\/a>, writing books, going on mission trips, participating in interviews, and speaking at numerous churches and conferences every year. If you would be interested in having me speak at your church or event, please fill out the contact form below.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some photos of me from recent speaking events.<\/p>\n\r\n\t<div class=\"slideshow_container slideshow_container_style-light\" style=\"height: 450px; \" data-slideshow-id=\"2286\" data-style-name=\"style-light\" data-style-version=\"2.3.1\" >\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"slideshow_loading_icon\"><\/div>\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t<div class=\"slideshow_content\" style=\"display: none;\">\r\n\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"slideshow_view\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"slideshow_slide slideshow_slide_image\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img src=\"https:\/\/midwestapologetics.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Revive-Church-Speaking-2.jpg\" alt=\"Revive Church, Brooklyn Park, MN\" width=\"1217\" height=\"678\" \/>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"slideshow_description_box slideshow_transparent\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"slideshow_title\">Revive Church, Brooklyn Park, MN<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div style=\"clear: both;\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"slideshow_view\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"slideshow_slide slideshow_slide_image\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img src=\"https:\/\/midwestapologetics.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/PXL_20210817_232327477-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Mt.
