Bring me to your church or small group to speak!

To book me to teach or speak, simply send me a detailed email (name, phone number, # of students, location) to jm@jmsmith.org, or use the online contact form to get more information. ;-)



I love to teach the Bible and help equip people as much as possible regardless of location, denomination or church home. If your church, school, ministry or small group would benefit from any of my courses or teaching seminars, I’d love to come and help them go deeper in their knowledge of God’s Word in person!

Here are some courses and seminar topics I’ve taught on that would work well in various formats (i.e. Sunday School class, Weekend seminar, evening class, small group or retreat settings, etc.):

Seminar Topics and Short-Term Studies

  • Bible for the Rest of Us – a course covering Scripture’s origin, translation, interpretation and most importantly, how NOT to interpret it.
  • Revelation: A Guided Tour of the Apocalypse – A chapter-by-chapter study of the book of Revelation in its original context and what it has to say today.
  • Apocalypse Now?? – A look at the various views Christians have of the end times and where they come from in Scripture (2-4 sessions depending on level of detail desired)
  • Jonah: More Than a Whale! – A look at the book of Jonah that goes beyond what we learned as kids!
  • In the Beginning – A look at Gen.1-2′s account of creation and how we are to approach it, especially in terms of questions of origins and modern science
  • Who am “I”?? – A study of Romans 5-8 focusing on the question of Christian identity
  • “Whatchu talkin’ bout, Jesus?” – A look at different translations of the Bible and why they matter (also called “Say What?”…for those who are too young or too old to recognize the quote!)
  • 144K – A study of the 144,000 in the book of Revelation and how Revelation uses imagery from the Hebrew Bible specifically
  • “Fulfilled or Filled-Fully?” – A study on Matthew’s use of the Hebrew Bible
  • TULIPs and Daisies? – A look at the famous issues of Calvinism, Arminianism and salvation in Scripture
  • Before Abraham was, I AM – A study on the divinity of Christ and how the doctrine arose from Scripture (aka. “The Trinity for dummies”)

I don’t have a set teaching rate or speaking fee (as I don’t want to be presumptuous!). So if there’s a little country or store-front or house church that wants to offer courses like these, but can’t bring in someone to teach them, I’d hate to know it was because of money! Likewise, if a church had been blessed by God financially so that they are able to generously bless those who teach Scripture, and wanted to offer these type of courses to their congregation, I see that as God’s sovereign way of handling the provisions for those He calls to minister to His Bride! So at the risk of sounding shameless in self-promotion, please share this list of topics with your Pastor, ministry leader, or other Christians who might be interested. And if they are, have them email me at jm@jmsmith.com for scheduling and logistical discussions. (In fact, feel free to beg, or even camp outside their office door and go on hunger-strike until they agree…Pastors and Ministry Leaders love that kind of thing…)
