About Us

Biblical Turning Points was founded on the belief that God has spoken and the story of what He has done in human history is the best story that can be told. The Bible's story should inspire, challenge, bring hope to and transform the lives of those who hear it.

Biblical Turning Points aims to help people engage and follow the message of the Bible in a way that is dynamic, strategic and life changing. The name is based on the first course of the series, which seeks to break down the detailed message of the 66 books of the Bible into major events/turning points that participants can easily grasp.

What sets Biblical Turning Points apart is its use of stunning visual aids. Displayed as a large backdrop behind the presenter, these visual maps of the Bible complement the more detailed written resources available to each participant.
