The new documentary film entitled \u201cNorm Geisler: Not Qualified\u201d<\/em> is set to air on NRB-TV on April 7 at 8:00 pm EST. The movie includes vintage clips of Dr. Geisler along with interviews with over 50 apologists, pastors, and ministry leaders. Dr. Geisler\u2019s son, David, serves as narrator for the project and says the movie reveals some things about his father\u2019s life that may surprise people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeople may not realize my dad\u2019s humble beginnings,\u201d says Geisler. \u201cHe was a poor boy from Michigan who was practically illiterate until he was seventeen. The turning point in my dad\u2019s life came during a witnessing experience, serving with the Billy Graham Youth for Christ. A drunk opened the Bible and pointed to the verse in Matthew 8:4 where Jesus healed the man of leprosy and then said, \u2018Go and tell no man.\u2019 Then the man said to my dad, \u2018Now get out of here\u2026you are not supposed to be doing this.\u2019 After that experience, dad decided he needed to either get answers or stop witnessing. That sent him on a 20-year quest, and he says in the movie that it was only after those 20 years of study that he felt he was ready to witness. He earned his Ph.D. in Philosophy and became the \u2018Grandfather of Apologetics.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The movie is being made available for churches to screen for their staffs and members. Along with every screening, churches will receive marketing materials, printable workbook and booklets, movie Q&A panel recording, four 45-minute shareable core messages to build a digital conference, as well as three self-paced memberships in the Norm Geisler Institute. Geisler says it is the goal of their ministry to extend his father\u2019s legacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe book dad and I wrote together is called \u2018Conversational Evangelism,\u2019 and it sums up our ministry\u2019s mission,\u201d says Geisler. \u201cWe have learned that leading people to the Gospel starts with relational pre-evangelism by learning how to ask questions, listen attentively, and understand what someone believes. We help people learn to identify the real barriers to belief so that we can build a bridge of truth to unbelievers. My father used to say, \u2018God wants to reach the heart, but he does not bypass the head on the way to the heart.\u2019 The Christian faith is a reasonable faith, but we also need to exhibit compassion and understanding to truly lead people to salvation. We believe that adding apologetics and discipleship to our evangelistic efforts is the way forward to impact our culture today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
