Derek Bartlow

Advisor, Former Board MemberHello! I'm Derek. Here is a little of my story. I grew up in Idaho, the oldest among 3 other siblings, and my parents were and continue to be very active in attendance and leadership at our church. Their love and devotion to Christ has always been clear, contagious and influential for me. Growing up, favorite childhood memories involved spending time with friends at church events, catching frogs, riding my bike, climbing trees and family vacations. In an unconventional manner, God used my public school experience to ignite a passion for apologetics. This contributed significantly toward my educational journey to Liberty University, where I would complete a graduate degree in Apologetics. My thesis involved the case for a Master Artist, and presented the gratuitous beauty of nature and the human aesthetic proclivity as together indicting evolutionary explanations and pointing to the expression of a personal and creative God, as espoused by Christian theism.
I have had the honor of attending live presentations from Norm Geisler, Eric Ludy, Ravi Zacharias, and Gary Habermas, under whom I studied. I continue to enjoy writing content related to apologetics, culture, and the Christian worldview for publication in my hometown paper and/or online. In my spare time, I enjoy leading a camp ministry, entrepreneurship, investment research, designing & marketing blowguns and other recreational gear, and kayaking. God has allowed me to serve in Christian education, youth ministry, camp ministry, disaster relief and/or mission trips in different states and in 2 other countries, including Senegal, Africa. It's an honor being apart of TRINICY's mission and it's one that I'm personally passionate about. I look forward to hearing your story, and I'm excited to walk this path together toward Christ, and His Truth and vision for us! |
