TODD VON HELMS

Popular speaker and bestselling author Dr. Todd von Helms cares deeply about helping people discover their path spiritually, and how faith can inform their vocation and lead to human flourishing. With degrees from Duke University, SMU, the University of Texas, and several other institutions, Todd has enjoyed teaching spiritual formation and the History of Christianity for nearly twenty years, while also speaking weekly in a variety of contexts ranging from college campuses to CEO groups, Leadership Forums, churches, high schools, and Alcoholics Anonymous.  Todd’s work in academic, secular, and religious settings provides broad audiences with opportunities to experience deep conversations about what is most important in life.  At a time when polarization and despair permeate many parts of society, Todd’s books, teaching, and conversations provide a sense of belonging and remind us that civil discourse, critical thinking, and unity are necessary and possible. 

“Everyone is on a journey. I love nothing more than to meet people where they are and help them develop a deeper love for God and others.”

PLAIN TRUTH

Before You Leave

Can we trust the Bible, or has it been distorted over the centuries?

How should one respond to legitimate criticism?

Prayerful

Just as communication is central to any relationship, prayer is an essential part of one’s relationship with God. Though it may seem natural for some, most people struggle with prayer due to busyness, laziness, distractions, and guilt. Some people want to pray but simply don’t know how. Prayerful will help you overcome these obstacles by looking to the Scriptures and the prayer lives of Christians through the ages for guidance.
