Dr. Frank Turek

SES Alum and Adjunct Professor, President of CROSSEXAMINED.ORG

“Do not go to SES … unless you want to know why Christianity is true, and unless you want to be able to deal with the philosophical and skeptical ideas that are all over the culture. … SES does an absolutely terrible job at getting you to agree with the culture. … Don’t go to SES if you want to be an average Christian who doesn’t get anything done. Only go to SES if you want to be an ambassador and someone who’s going to make a difference in life.”

Dr. Frank Turek​, Christian Apologist

Why Frank Turek and Other Leading Christian Apologists Choose Biblical Training from SES

Online Seminary with Apologetics-Focused Training

As Southern Evangelical Seminary alum Dr. Frank Turek understands, SES provides an integrated approach to philosophy, theology, and apologetics that equips students to form a complete and systematic Christian worldview. Whether you’re seeking a degree or certificate in apologetics, philosophy, biblical studies, or another discipline, SES’s uniquely integrated approach lays a solid foundation for truth.

At SES, good philosophy strengthens theology, and both provide essential tools for sound apologetics. Together, these disciplines remove obstacles to the Gospel and build mature disciples who not only defend the faith but boldly live it out. If you’re ready to stand firm in biblical truth and impact the world for Christ, SES is where you belong.

“I can hardly find words to express how thankful I am for SES. After my Christianity was deconstructed, they literally shepherded me, one class at a time, through my faith reconstruction. SES continues to equip students to defend objective truth, the true Gospel, and the inerrancy of Scripture. They are also holding the line by rejecting cultural trends like wokeness and redefinitions of gender and sexuality.”
