Tommy Mitchell, M.D. of Answers in Genesis will speak at Blue River Church of the Brethren on August 14-15, 2011.
Mitchell, a speaker with Answers in Genesis since mid-2005, has spoken to thousands of adults, youth, and children in a variety of settings, clearly communicating reasons to trust the Bible and the Creator Christ who wrote it. He has written articles for AiG's website and other publications, and he was the featured speaker during Answers in Genesis' relief efforts after Hurricane Katrina, resulting in a Telly award-winning DVD, "A God of Suffering?"
As a scientist, physician, and father, Mitchell has a burden to provide solid answers from the Bible to equip people to stand in the face of personal tragedy and popular evolutionary misinformation. Using communication skills developed over many years of medical practice, he is able to connect with people at all educational levels and unveil the truth that can change their lives.
Mitchell graduated with a BA with highest honors from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, in 1980, with a major in Cell Biology and a minor in Biochemistry. For his superior scholarship during his undergraduate study, he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa Society (the oldest and one of the most-respected honor societies in America). Mitchell subsequently attended Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in Nashville, where he received his medical degree in 1984.
 Mitchell completed his residency at Vanderbilt University Affiliated Hospitals in 1987. He is Board Certified in Internal Medicine. In 1991, he was elected a Fellow of the American College of Physicians (F.A.C.P.). He had a thriving medical practice in his hometown of Gallatin, Tennessee, for 20 years, but, in late 2006, he withdrew from medical practice to pursue creation ministry full time.
Blue River Church of the Brethren is located on the Noble-Whitley County Line Road (700 North), 2 miles west of U.S. 33 and 1.5 miles east of State Road 9 at 3040 E 700 North, Columbia City.
