Dr. Voddie Baucham, Jr.

Film Narrator - Seminary Dean & Cultural Apologist

Dr. Voddie Baucham, Jr. commands one of the biggest voices of the 21st century—literally! His deep, booming voice serves as Genesis’ unseen narrator whose vocal presence gives the visual images deeper meaning and life. Outside the movie as one of America’s leading theologians emphasizing Cultural Apologetics, Dr. Baucham’s rich, theological background makes him an even bigger voice for this movie’s message. His unusual, intellectual journey to faith allows him to understand what it means to be a skeptic and as a result, he speaks to them in ways few Bible teachers can.

Wearing many hats, Dr. Baucham serves as author, professor, conference speaker, pastor, and most recently as Seminary Dean for African Christian University in Lusaka, Zambia. Voddie and his wife, Bridget married in 1989 and are committed home educators for their nine children. In his spare time, Baucham does martial arts and in 2014, won the Pan American Championship title.
