Episode 30 | J. Warner Wallace • Author | Former Cold-Case Detective | Christian Apologist

J. Warner Wallace is a cold-case homicide
detective, adjunct professor of apologetics at Biola
University, Christian case maker and author. J. Warner was a
conscientious and vocal atheist through his undergraduate and
graduate work in Design and Architecture (CSULB and UCLA); he
always considered himself to be an “evidentialist”. His experience
in law enforcement only served to strengthen his conviction that
truth is tied directly to evidence. But at the age of thirty-five,
J. Warner took a serious and expansive look at the evidence for the
Christian Worldview and determined that Christianity was
demonstrably true. After becoming a Christ follower in 1996, Jim
continued to take an evidential approach to truth as he examined
the Christian worldview. He eventually earned a Master’s Degree in
Theological Studies from Golden Gate Baptist Theological
Seminary.

J. Warner served as a Youth Pastor for several years, then
planted a church in 2006. Along the way, he created and built
the Cold-Case Christianity
website, blog and podcast as a place to post
and talk about what he discovered related to the evidence
supporting Christianity. Jim has appeared on television and
radio, explaining the role that evidence plays in the Christian
definition of “faith” and defending the historicity of Jesus, the
reliability of the Bible and the truth of the Christian worldview.
Jim also speaks at churches, retreats and camps as he seeks to help
people become confident Christian case makers. J. Warner’s first
book, Cold-Case Christianity, provides readers with ten
principles of cold case investigations and utilizes these
principles to examine the reliability of the gospel eyewitness
accounts. In his second book, God’s Crime Scene, he
investigates eight pieces of evidence in the universe to make the
case for God’s existence.

J. Warner’s professional investigative work has received
national recognition; his cases have been featured more than any
other detective on NBC’s Dateline, and his work has also appeared
on CourtTV and Fox News. He also appears on television as an
investigative consultant and had a role in God’s Not Dead 2,
making the case for the historicity of Jesus. J. Warner was awarded
the Police and Fire Medal of Valor “Sustained Superiority” Award
for his continuing work on cold-case homicides. Relying on over two
decades of investigative experience, J. Warner provides his readers
and audiences with the tools they will need to investigate the
claims of Christianity and make a convincing case for the
truth of the Christian worldview. ⏪
