“Our church has had Jeriah lead an Apologetic Seminar.  It was an excellent overview of the historicity of Jesus from both Biblical and extra-Biblical sources.  History is clearly on the side of Biblical Christianity.  I wholeheartedly recommend Jeriah as a speaker on apologetics because of his research, presentation and passion for the subject.”

Pastor Phil Butler, First Baptist Church of Colfax, IA

“Jeriah Shank is gifted with the ability to clearly and succinctly communicate Biblical truth in an apologetic style. He has been an incredible blessing as I have had him speak in the local church setting. Having had the privilege of seeing Jeriah come to Christ and grow in his understanding of God’s Word as well as his ability to interconnect the deep truths of our Christian faith, I would heartily recommend Jeriah and his ministry!”

Pastor Steven Cox, Bethel Baptist Church of Oskaloosa, IA

“I would highly recommend the ministry of Pastor Jeriah Shank. Jeriah not only teaches on a significant academic level, but also has the unique ability to reach the heart of the person. His teaching style is one that feeds the mind in order to understand the principle and also equips the hands with practical tools to use in your everyday life! Jeriah not only teaches apologetics with his mouth, but reinforces these godly principles with his life, giving his teachings a lasting value. If you are looking for a man seeking to glorify God, who can have a ministry to the hearts of people, then I wholeheartedly recommend Pastor Jeriah Shank!”

Pastor Sam Jones, Faith Baptist Church of Hudson, IA

“Our teen and college age campers love learning in Jeriah’s workshops!  Jeriah takes his Biblical training and years of study and puts it in the context of today’s world in a way that today’s teens, college students, and older adults love listening to and learning. He goes a step further, assisting the learner in how to use this new knowledge to share with others. We have used Jeriah to speak to teens camps, college retreats, and adult sessions. He is very effective in relating to them and putting the training on their level through lectures, workshops,  and Q & A’s as well.  In fact he thrives in his ability to think on his feet, making learning fun!”

Pastor Phil Betz, Director of the Iowa Regular Baptist Camp of Ventura, IA

 “I met Jeriah and was instantly moved by his enthusiasm and joy. Like many of the apologists I am aware of, Jeriah’s faith was tested in a tragic, “Job” like way. The test led to Jeriah searching for hard facts and reasons to believe. There is something so powerful about a man’s testimony and teaching that have come from struggle and testing.  Not only does Jeriah’s teaching inform, but it moves you because, you know, at one point, his faith was riding on getting the answers that he can now pass on. Jeriah connects the heart and the head.”

Pastor Adam Tyler, Calvary Chapel of Mason City, IA

“Jeriah spoke on Impacting “Your world for Christ” at a youth rally we had and was used by God to greatly challenge and equip students and leaders. He has an excellent ability to communicate difficult issues in a clear way. Jeriah did a great job of being thorough and yet clear while presenting the gospel and challenging the students to stand for Christ! I would encourage anyone to consider Jeriah to be a speaker at their event.”

Pastor Kodiak Boersma, Youth Pastor at Calvary Baptist Church of Wisconsin Rapids, WI

“I have worked with Jeriah for a camp training session as well as our local church for an event. In both circumstances, those in attendance came hungry and left full. It was a rewarding time spent with someone who has a passion for God’s Word and the ability to help break it down on a practical level. Jeriah’s interactive presentation and a willingness to be ‘available’ to anyone with questions regardless of age and experience is so refreshing. I could not recommend him more highly.”
