Jim has a powerful and unique ministry for the Gospel of Jesus Christ."

"Jim Wallace gives one of the most compelling cases for Christianity that I have ever heard. His work as a police detective has provided him with the proper tools to 'check out' the evidence and come to the logical conclusion. Skeptics and non-skeptics alike will tremendously benefit from his presentation. He has my highest recommendation."
 Don Stewart
Apologist, Author, Speaker and Host of the "Pastor's Perspective" Radio Program
"The Church needs more Jim Wallaces. I have worked side-by-side with him in a variety of ministry contexts and have seen firsthand the impact of Jim's work. His experience as a homicide detective gives him a tough-minded approach to the evidence for Christianity. His experience as a pastor provides a tender-hearted approach to people. With both, Jim is able to effectively train Christians to defend the Gospel with intelligence and graciousness."
 Brett Kunkle
Apologist, Speaker and Student Impact Director at Stand to Reason
"Jim Wallace is one of the best communicators in the field of Christian apologetics today. He has a solid understanding of the critical issues, while having the rare gift of taking complex and difficult subjects and making them understandable and accessible. He is able to cut through the jargon and give real answers for real-world questions. I have no hesitation whatsoever in confidently recommending his ministry."
 Brian Auten

"Jim is a clear communicator and his Biblical knowledge was a blessing to our TV audience. He has a passion to reach many with God's truth."

"Tri-Grace Ministries has worked side by side with Jim Wallace and his Utah mission teams for several years. Witnessing to Mormons is an apologetic challenge and under Jim’s training the Rising Tide mission teams always come fully prepared to answer even the toughest questions. Jim’s background as a cold case detective gives him a unique ability to cut to the chase and get right to the heart of the matter. Our Utah ministries have profited greatly from Jim’s apologetic training sessions and we would highly recommend him as either a teacher or featured speaker. You will find Jim to be a riveting speaker with a unique and logical approach to the most challenging issues facing the Christian church today."
 Chip and Jamie Thompson
Directors Tri-Grace Ministries and author of The Mormon Scrapbook
"For an atheist who passionately disagrees with Jim Wallace on a lot of things, I love Jim very much. He is great to work with, well-spoken, has a fascinating background that informs his talks, and his genuine warmth and concern for people is a joy."
 David Fitzgerald
Atheist Speaker, Writer, Author of "Nailed: Ten Christian Myths That Show Jesus Never Existed At All", and Director/Founder of The Atheist Film Festival & Evolutionpalooza!
"I worked with Jim at the Police Department for many years and watched as he enthusiastically and creatively investigated hundreds of serious crimes – many of which would have gone unsolved had it not been for his relentless search for the truth. He has one of the brightest minds I know for examining complex issues from different perspectives and systematically organizing those elements into easily understandable components. Add to this his incredible ability to verbally present his logic and thoughts and you have an extremely engaging speaker who is able to connect with audiences of all dimensions."
 Jim Herren
Police Chief, UCLA Police Department
"Jim Wallace is talking in depth about the religious, social and moral issues that most Christian leaders cannot or will not tackle in our age of Christendom. His years of experience in law enforcement and church leadership bring a unique mix to his calling as an Apologist."
 Tristan Greth
Assistant Pastor, Youth Pastor and Director of Transformed, Calvary Chapel Rancho Santa Margarita California
"I have known Jim Wallace for over ten years. I have seen his passion for the truth, his hunger for knowledge and watched him demonstrate his passion for Jesus as he has grown in his faith. I have also watched him minister to his flock of youth and adults with compassion and love! He's lived out his love and commitment to our Lord in a real and loving way!"
 Don Overstreet
Church planter strategist and author of "Sent Out" and "God's Call to the City"
"Jim is one of the brightest and most gifted apologists I know. His innovative methods of teaching the Gospel break down very complex biblical truths into easily understood life applicable realities. Jim has a passion to see people, especially our youth, come to an understanding of God's Great Mercy towards them revealed in the scriptures. His zealous mission to help youth become fully devoted followers of Christ, to own their faith, and to share it with those in our post-modern world is contagious. Jim's relationally engaging style of communication and instruction challenges the heart and mind of the youth he equips for the building up of God's Kingdom."
 Ed LaLonde
Pastor of CARE Ministries, Calvary Baptist Church, Huntington Beach California
"We recently had Jim lead 40 of our men in an evangelistic outreach event. What we appreciate about Jim is his direct and clear presentation of the gospel, from an atheist’s and law enforcement point of view, referring back to his own experiences and questions with the gospel message prior to being saved. Jim’s practical empathy, knowledge of the evidence supporting creation science and the historicity of the Bible gives him a unique approach and an undeniable witness of the power of God to those who are curious and even uncertain about what they believe about God. We recommend Jim as a guest speaker and his ministry as a tool for equipping your church."
 Greg Wolf
Elder, Lake Hills Community Church, Castaic California
"Jim's level headed, reasonable analysis of Scripture will challenge and encourage you to think through your faith and build your own case for truth. He teaches a thorough Biblical world-view that withstands the atheistic voice in today's society and equips the believer with a battle-tested, sure-footed defense!"
 Andrew Kluck
Young Adult Pastor at Faith Christian Family Church, Lapeer Michigan
"It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that I can recommend Jim Wallace. Jim spoke at our Annual Men’s Ministry Kickoff BBQ and was extremely well received by approximately 100 men. His message combined with his Police work background was very effective and filled with application. Mr. Wallace's website, PleaseConvinceMe.com is AMAZING. It is perhaps the very best place for multiple resource materials that I have seen. Additionally, Jim is a committed Christian and an easy person to relate to."
 Jerry Farrow
Chairman of Men’s Ministries, Carlsbad Community Church, Carlsbad California
"I have known Jim for over twenty-five years and it is his character, knowledge and wisdom that have set him apart from others in the law enforcement community. Jim Wallace has devoted his life to serving his fellow man and he demonstrates his love and compassion for others through his actions rather than words alone. With all that he has accomplished, it is comforting to know that his greatest accomplishments await him."
 John Neu
Police Chief and Cold Case Unit Founder
"I have had the privilege of knowing Jim Wallace for 8 plus years and walking alongside of him on many mission trips. Jim Wallace is devoted to speaking the truth through facts with love. His knowledge of Apologetics is expansive and his desire to learn more is even more incredible. Jim's teaching is relevant, engaging and challenging to people of all ages. He teaches about faith and other world religions by using role playing and practical examples. He knows how to get into the hearts and minds of those that think differently from him in order to meet them where they are at and share the gospel. His bible knowledge is expansive and his ability to teach and live out the bible is remarkable. Jim knows how to inspire youth in their faith and walk with the Lord so that they too can be witnesses across cultures and religions worldwide."
 Alaina Hart

“There's no doubt that connecting with Jim will leave you enriched. Jim not only knows his stuff, but he probably knows your stuff better than you do. Jim has an amazing ability to research, think, and process through complex information and then bring it to a level where the rest of us can understand it. He has a way of explaining things so that we can understand them. Jim isn't afraid of the tough questions, in fact, he welcomes them. Jim is spot on with his podcasts and presentations. Missing the opportunity to learn from this guy would be quite a tragedy.”
 Adam Stetson
Witness Coordinator, Concordia University
"I have known Jim for over 20 years. Jim’s communication skills have earned him the respect of judges and attorneys who have seen his innovative ways of convincing the jury in several high profile cold cases. I have observed Jim speak to a wide variety audiences ranging from professionals in various fields to youth in the community. His hard work, passion, and knowledge are unmatched."
 Steve Unglaub
Police Lieutenant and Detective Division Commander
"Jim Wallace will be a strong encouragement to your church. He not only ministered to our church but took time to encourage our leaders as well. Jim possesses a rare blend of apologetic expertise combined with the warmth of a pastor’s heart. His presentations are engaging from beginning to end in a most relevant and memorable way. Jim isn’t just a good idea for a speaker; he is a priority event for any church who desires to explore the gospel in such a way that will aid your people to give a "reasonable answer for the faith that is within them."
 Rick Baird
Associate Pastor, Lake Hills Community Church, Castaic California
"Jim does a great job of carefully and objectively digging into issues faced by people today. As a former atheist and Cold Case Homicide Detective, Jim has a skepticism that forces him to delve into an issue and look at all the evidence, instead of just accepting something at face value. I really appreciate his objective and honest approach towards discovering truth."

"As a Cold Case Homicide Detective, Jim Wallace makes apologetics fun. His evidential approach to Christianity brought him to a place where, after being an atheist for 35 years, he became convinced of the truth of Jesus Christ. I recommend his podcast to anyone who is seeking truth, regardless of current worldview."
