Brady Blevins serves as the senior apologist at Watchman Fellowship, an independent Christian research and apologetics ministry focusing on new religious movements, cults, the occult and the New Age. Brady is a former senior pastor with over twenty-four years of ministry experience. He has a heart for sharing the truth of the gospel to those who have been deceived by counterfeit Christianity, the occult, cults and false religions. In addition to working for Watchman, he also teaches and serves as the assistant dean of the Graduate School of Theology and Chair for the School of Ministry at Arlington Baptist University.

One significant meeting that would forever impact Brady’s life occurred when he was in junior high. In the seventh grade, Brady met a fellow student who was a Jehovah’s Witness. After a number of conversations with his fellow classmate Brady knew that he had an obligation and desire to share the truth of the gospel to this young man. This interaction was the catalyst God used to bring Brady to the ministry of apologetics.

Brady holds a BS in Bible and Pastoral Ministries and a MA in Biblical and Theological Studies from Arlington Baptist University, a MA in Counseling from Dallas Baptist University, and a Doctorate in Educational Ministries from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. He is an ordained Baptist minister and a member of the International Society of Christian Apologetics (ISCA), and the Evangelical Press Association (EPA).

Unfortunately, due to copyright, privacy and security issues the answer to this question is NO. We understand the desire to share these awesome sessions in this manner, but each course is a “closed” course. This means that each student enrolled in a course with LIVE recorded sessions, through their enrollment, has given permission for recording of the Zoom sessions for use by the student’s in their enrolled class ONLY and verified that they are not a minor. To remain GDPR compliant and protect privacy and security, we authenticate each student joining our Zoom meetings. This privacy is also sought to create a place where our students get to know the others in their group and feel comfortable in sharing personal thoughts and questions.

Jesus warned us to "Beware of the false prophets." But how can one BEWARE unless one is first AWARE?
