Creation Speaker and Apologist Mike Riddle Passes Away

In his early life, Mike was a US Marine captain and a world-class athlete, competing in the multi-event decathlon. He also worked at Microsoft and Sprint in engineer training before serving as an adjunct lecturer with the Institute for Creation Research and then eventually joining our staff here at Answers in Genesis in 2005 as a speaker and curriculum developer. He eventually left AiG and founded his own ministry, Creation Training Initiative, which equips Christians to defend biblical truth.

After Mike’s passing, others in the creation ministry field shared what an impact his teaching and encouragement had on them. He certainly impacted many people, including many teachers who would go on to impact others, in four decades of ministry.

His love for teaching apologetics greatly impacted all those who heard.

He was always so enthusiastic and full of energy. His love for teaching apologetics greatly impacted all those who heard. Mike was also known for using hot sauce that most wouldn’t even dare to try! We will all certainly miss him on this earth. With his passing, I would like to challenge others who God may be calling to take up the mantle to spread the biblical apologetics messages that the world so needs to hear.

Please join with us in praying for his wife, Lesley, and his other family and friends as they grieve this loss.

Precious in the sight of Yahweh
Is the death of His holy ones. (Psalm 116:15)

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
Ken
