Voddie Baucham wears many hats. He is a husband, father, former pastor, author, professor, conference speaker, church planter, and a board member for Founders Ministries. Voddie is a founding faculty member of The Institute of Public Theology.

Dr. Baucham’s area of emphasis is Cultural Apologetics. Whether teaching on classical apologetic issues like the validity and historicity of the Bible, or the resurrection of Christ; or teaching on biblical manhood/womanhood, marriage and family, he helps ordinary people understand the significance of thinking and living biblically in every area of life.

Some of his notable publications include:

It's Not Like Being Black: How Sexual Activists Hijacked the Civil Rights Movement (2024)

Fault Lines: The Social Justice Movement and Evangelicalism's Looming Catastrophe (2021) – A critique of the social justice movement within evangelicalism, offering a biblical framework for understanding justice and race.

Family Shepherds: Calling and Equipping Men to Lead Their Homes (2011) – A book focusing on biblical headship and the role of fathers in the home.

The Ever-Loving Truth: Can Faith Thrive in a Post-Christian Culture? (2004) – A defense of the Christian faith in an increasingly secular and hostile culture.

What He Must Be: ...If He Wants to Marry My Daughter (2009) – A guide for fathers and young men about biblical manhood and marriage.

Baucham is highly regarded for his contributions to cultural apologetics and his efforts to equip Christians to stand firm in their faith amidst cultural shifts.

Dr. Baucham holds degrees from Houston Baptist University (BA in Christianity/BA in Sociology), Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (M.Div.), Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary (D.Min.), an honorary degree from Southern California Seminary (D.D.), and additional post-graduate study at the University of Oxford, England (Regent’s Park College).

Dr. Baucham and his wife, Bridget, have been married since 1989, have nine children and are committed home educators.
