Plano, TX – Josh McDowell Ministry has expanded its speaking team by adding Matthew Tingblad and Austin Fruits, both recent Talbot Seminary graduates.

These young men join Josh McDowell and Ben Bennett in sharing powerful, relevant messages in the areas of Classical, Relational, and Moral Apologetics. As Josh McDowell notes, “Our ministry team is passionate about helping people to know the truth, understand why they believe it, and confidently share it as they live out their faith.”

Matthew has a passion for the Church to be united, strengthened, and unleashed to globally spread the Good News of Jesus. With a focus on apologetics and spiritual growth, Matthew offers a fresh voice to a world asking tough questions. Matthew is based in the Ministry’s Dallas headquarters.

Austin spent two years on the road with Josh as his personal assistant after completing his undergraduate at Liberty University in psychology and counseling. As he joins the Speaking Team, Austin seeks to reach a wounded and broken generation in desperate need of Christ’s hope and healing. Austin is based in California.
