Nathan Thompson
So Jesus said to the twelve, you do not want to go away also, do you?' Simon Peter answered him, 'Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life.
​- John 6:67-68
​
Without a doubt, Nathan felt the call to serve Christ early on.
​
Upon graduating from high school, he would attend Toccoa Falls College in pursuit of education and training for pastoral ministry. But, as the Lord would have it, he eventually began to see that initial leading/calling head in a different direction. Thus, after finishing his initial degree in pastoral ministry, he would go on to earn another in aerospace engineering. Ever since, Nathan has endeavored to be a light to those who work in his field, as many therein are skeptical of what Christianity entails. In a beautifully simple way, he has effectively been an evangelizing apologist to the intellectually skeptical and opposed.
​
Today, he continues in this role not only through his regular work, but by serving in a lay capacity with Sola City Church in such a way that his expertise in the area of Christian apologetics could be used to glorify God through teaching others to engage in them for the sake of effective evangelism.
