Larry Blythe

M.A. Apologetics, Theology, Philosophy, Pastoral Theology

Although Larry is a “jack of all trades and master of some,” he has become proficient in teaching and training science, art, and music in Christian education. But most importantly, he is a follower of the Messiah, Jesus Christ.

Larry lives in Matthews, NC, and is married to his wife, Jane. He has a B.A. in Pastoral Theology from Pacific Coast Baptist Bible College and an M.A. in Apologetics, Theology, and Philosophy from Southern Evangelical Seminary. Larry has been a youth pastor, associate pastor, and senior pastor since 1982.

For over 35 years, Larry has studied and taught many topics, including the Bible, Creation science, apologetics, and theology, to thousands of students worldwide. His courses on Creation science against Darwinian evolution and Christian apologetics have been popular in the Apologia Live Classes for 15 years. He has taught at Bible colleges, conferences, and schools, including many homeschool conferences and radio and podcast events.

Larry’s interest in geology, paleontology, and paleoanthropology led him to be dubbed “the fossil hunter.” He has spent much time digging in the valleys and mountains in Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico. He currently has over 50 Noahic Flood fossils from those private digs.

In his spare time, Larry enjoys pickleball, juggling, traveling, playing the guitar, trombone, Celtic whistle, and harmonica. He has performed magic and illusions since college and specializes in dove magic.
