Speaker & Apologist
Alex McElroy is an international speaker, Apologist, author, blogger, leadership advisor, and the Pastor of Education at Engage Community Church in Chicago.
Though living in his purpose now, Alex has experienced and overcome significant struggles and setbacks in life. He suffered the loss of his father at a young age, dealt with drug and alcohol abuse in his college years, and found himself in an angry, depressed and lonely place as he endured financial hell that resulted in bankruptcy and desperation. Thankfully, God used these arduous moments to reveal Himself. Alex came to see God in a new way and developed a desire to learn the Word of God. In learning the Word, Alex cultivated a strong relationship with God and came to believe in Jesus' example of discipleship both in church and professionally. As a Christian Apologist, trained under Dr. Frank Turek and the CrossExamined Instructor’s Academy for several years as well as RZIM (Ravi Zacharias International Ministries), Alex is able to connect the Bible, historical facts, and scientific evidence to the purpose we each have within us.
Alex is a firm believer that God has created everyone on purpose with a purpose.
