Patricia Engler

Author and AiG Speaker

Patricia Engler is a Christian apologetics speaker, author, and podcast host for Answers in Genesis. She joined AiG–Canada as a speaker, writer, and youth outreach coordinator in 2019 before transferring to AiG–US in 2022. She also serves as an Answers News panelist and cohosts Zero Compromise, AiG’s podcast for young adults.

After graduating from homeschooling and earning a BSc degree, Patricia backpacked 360 degrees around the world in 180 days documenting how Christian students keep their faith at university. The top takeaways from this research are available in Patricia’s book, Prepare to Thrive: A Survival Guide for Christian Students. In 2022, she embarked on a second backpacking journey to research Marxism’s history and consequences in Europe. Both backpacking trips formed the basis for separate teaching series available on Patricia’s blog. Patricia is now pursuing an MA in bioethics to help Christians think biblically about sanctity of life issues and emerging technologies.

In her spare time, Patricia can often be found adventuring outdoors, exploring back roads, sketching, reading, or playing the ukelele.
