About Todd Weller
The Thinking Theist was begun by Todd Weller in 2022. Todd Weller is a student at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary and is working on his is Master's Degree in Divinity with a specialization in Christian Apologetics. Todd fell in love with writing about theology, religion, and apologetics because it helped him organize his thoughts. It then blossomed into a desire to reach the world for Christ and the Church. Todd is also building a brand known as The Apologia Post. You can find The Apologia Post on Instagram and Substack.
