Tom Short Taking God’s Truth to the Frontlines.
Compelled to apply God’s Word to all of life, Tom has been boldly proclaiming and defending the Gospel in the public square on campuses across America.
Tom has debated atheists, skeptics, and agnostics on over 100 college campuses across America and the World, providing reasons to believe in the Christian faith and surrender to Jesus. With an appeal to the heart and mind, he tears down arguments against Christianity, ranging from leftist political ideologies, to naturalist philosophical ideas, to moral relativism in our culture, to personal objections of evil, suffering, and individual authority.
Tom founded Campus America, a campus-focused organization dedicated to boldly proclaiming and publicly defending God’s truth. He hosts a daily podcast and a weekly show ShortReport that speaks to cultural issues through an unapologetically Biblical lens. He has written several books, including “Short Answers: The Big 5 Questions” with over 400,000 in print in 11 languages.
He urges people to seriously consider the claims of Jesus and fully surrender their life to him in obedience - and if they do not, then provide a reason! His impact has encouraged Christians to boldly live out their faith, while urging apostates to return back to Jesus and calling sinners to repentance and submission to God’s Word.

Thieves! How the Left is Stealing Our Kids, Destroying Our Families, and Dividing Our Nation
After decades of engaging with students on campus, Tom provides fresh and timely insight into today’s biggest challenge to the Christian faith - left-wing politics.
It’s a story we hear too often - godly Christian parents send their kids to college where they are encouraged to leave their parents, reject their Christian beliefs, and undermine their American heritage.
He brings his boots-on-the-ground perspective and gives understanding of how to integrate your faith in the public square and politics. And more importantly, how to keep your kids, family, and nation.
