Norm Geisler: Not Qualified
A six-part documentary about a man nobody expected — and the argument he left behind. Watch it free, then take your church, class, or small group through it together.
God works powerfully through people who are not qualified.
Norm Geisler had no advantages. He was poor, unremarkable, and by every standard of his day unqualified — and he became one of the most influential Christian thinkers of the last century. The film is not a monument. It is an argument that God is looking for the willing, not the credentialed.

He influenced the influencers
Ask where today's best-known Christian apologists learned their craft and the answer keeps coming back to one classroom. Norm taught, mentored, or shaped a generation of teachers who went on to shape millions more — which is why he is often called the grandfather of modern apologetics.
Over fifty interviews with Norm's students, colleagues, and friends were recorded for the film — more than thirty hours of conversation, only part of which made the final cut.
Where the film has screened
Built for discussion, not just viewing
The film opens the conversation. The guides are what keep it going for six weeks after the credits roll — written so an ordinary small group leader can run the session without a seminary degree.
