Crossroads
Project Director
|
Greetings!
I'm Jim Leffel. I am the director of The Crossroads Project, an
apologetics ministry designed to equip Christians to understand
and effectively communicate to our postmodern culture. I lead a
team of scholars, researchers and experienced Christian workers
who are deeply involved in providing critical and biblical analysis
to contemporary secular thought.

I became a Christian in
1976, my first year at The Ohio State University, through the ministry
of Xenos Christian Fellowship. I spent the next four years going
to school and living in a Christian rooming house, which in those
days was the hub of Xenos fellowship activities. Those were formative
years for me. I was encouraged to delve deeply into the scripture
and serve needs in the fellowship. Through this experience, I cultivated
a strong burden for a life of Christian ministry. After completing
a BA in philosophy at Ohio State, I went to Trinity Evangelical
Divinity School where I received an MA in philosophy of religion.
At Trinity I had the opportunity to be mentored by Dr. William Lane
Craig, one of today's leading philosophers of religion. Since graduating
from Trinity, the Lord has opened many doors for me to teach philosophy
and the humanities. Before joining the Xenos staff, I taught at
Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (1985), College of Lake County
(1985-87), McHenry College (1987) and Columbus State Community College
(1988-90). In addition to my work at Xenos, I teach in the philosophy
department of Ohio Dominican College (1995-1999).
My wife Linda and I are the proud parents of Timothy
(age 13) and Amy (age 6). Linda and I lead a home-based outreach
and Bible study group.
If you have any comments or questions about The Crossroads
Project, feel free to e-mail me at leffelj@xenos.org.
I'm always excited to share what we're doing or just discussing
the many challenges witnessing Christians face in today's culture.
I'm also available to speak on a variety of topics related to postmodernism
and apologetics.
