Here’s what I know to be true…
Spiritual stagnation is never neutral. If you’re not growing in discernment and sound doctrine, you are becoming increasingly vulnerable to deception. And deception is never harmless. It slowly reshapes how you see God, distorts the gospel, weakens your convictions, and numbs your ability to recognize error. There is a real cost to this — spiritually, emotionally, and even financially.
Many believers have poured thousands of dollars into books, conferences, and online programs that sounded biblical but ultimately led them further away from the truth.
Others have embraced unbiblical teachings about marriage, finances, authority, identity, or “hearing God,” only to experience confusion, fractured relationships, misplaced trust, and years of spiritual instability.
Time is your most precious currency, and deception steals it. Many people spend years unlearning error, rebuilding confidence in Scripture, and recovering from spiritual manipulation.
You cannot afford to build your faith on unstable ground. But the good news is this: discernment can be developed. Sound doctrine can be learned. Confidence in Scripture can be strengthened.
The Online Apologetics Bible College exists to anchor you deeply in the Word of God, equip you to rightly divide Scripture, and train you to identify and respond to false teaching with clarity, conviction, and love. The cost of ignorance is too high — and the value of truth is eternal.
✅ You want to know God & walk in Truth
✅ You’ve asked questions like, “How do you know where to begin?” or “Is there even a right or wrong place to begin?”
✅ You’ve tried listening to a number of sermons or teachings on YouTube.
✅ You’ve started and stopped a dozen different times from attempting to study the entire Bible, perhaps you’ve even joined online groups for help, but the truth is that you just can’t seem to study through the entire Bible or study a particular subject in detail.
✅ You’re feeling a little discouraged or even guilty with yourself and you feel like no matter what you try, it’s not going to work.
✅ This troubles you because you really don’t want to mislead your children or loved ones. You’re concerned that somehow you might mislead them unintentionally.
✅ You know how dangerous believing in false teachings can be and you know it can have long lasting effects on people and even turn some away from God.
✅ You know with every month and year that passes by, you are missing opportunities to shepherd others and to bring the Light of Truth to some people that you know who desperately need it.
✅ You really do want to grow closer to God, avoid deception and be used by God for His glory. It just seems so challenging and you can’t seem to be consistent with all life’s demands requiring your immediate attention.
✅ You want to be the person that others can come to for biblical counsel and for more clarity on Bible teachings.
✅ You want to get to the point of knowing that you did everything in your power to be a genuine ambassador of Christ representing God accurately.
My Friend… You’re in the right place!

But ask yourself, would you trust a physician or lawyer who got their education from only YouTube? I hope you said no!

“Joining the Online Bible College was the best thing that I did!
I did the intro and then the how to study scripture lesson and everything started making so much more sense.
I appreciate that Patrick has a grasp on the written Word as it is. It is not his opinion, it is as it is written.”
"OABC has helped to guide me to be able to study the Word myself and realize that scripture interprets scripture. All you need is the Word of God and He will illuminate all of it for you."
"All of us here who have joined, we're really like a real big family. I met so many brothers and sisters through this online Bible college who also love God, who also love the truth, who wanna grow into understanding of God's word. And I'm thankful to God for this family that I have."
"Patrick incorporates Biblical truths into the courses. Timeless truths based on God’s Word. He stays in the context of the passages and uses co-text to aide in interpreting accurately; exegesis not eisegesis."
Julie had this to say: “I’m currently a student of OABC and from my experience, thus far, I can assure you that you will receive more organized and biblically accurate content than most Youtube videos out there. I, too, have read through my Bible for years and watched numerous Youtube videos just to come to realize that I wasn’t interpreting the Bible correctly nor did many of the “teachers” that I watched. I unfortunately wasted many years jumping around from one random video to another. I thought my former pastors were knowledgeable in the Word to teach it, but they didn’t have a clue neither with their false prosperity gospel, deliverance ministries, fake apostles, and so on. I thank God that I’m now finally learning His Word in context through OABC so that I can actually learn the Word of God correctly and to also protect myself and family from false teachers. So I encourage you to check out the college. It’s worth every penny!”
Julie J. – Student
Blessings In Jesus! I’m Patrick
Coming out of deception myself, I know firsthand the the ruin and destruction it can have in ones life.
My mission became to seek Truth at all costs and to allow God’s Word to guide me and correct me.
I then embarked on a journey to create comprehensive teachings and explanations on a wide range of Bible topics. My aim was to dive into the depths of what the Bible truly taught, explore related passages and draw conclusions that offered the most thorough and clear answers possible.
I have now taken all that I have learned and organized it into courses and lessons that make learning feel easy and that allow for busy Christians to increase in a knowledge of God’s Word, grow in their faith and acquire the skill set with the courage to defend the Faith!
This all led me to creating the fully Online Apologetics Bible College to give every Christian an opportunity to gain access to the highest quality Christian education possible with the same level of academic standards you might find at any seminary.
The Online Apologetics Bible College is truly one of a kind, explaining complicated doctrines with simplicity and answering the most challenging questions of our day.
As a student you will be guided along our highly organized courses inside these 5 pathways. Each pathway will build upon the previous pathway to deepen your understanding of God’s Word, all in an effort to train and equip you with biblical doctrine to disciple others, refute error and grow in your Faith! By the end of your journey you will absolutely have an increase in clarity and confidence in your understanding of God’s Word. The pathways are an optional path, but every student can choose to take whatever courses they want whenever they want.

You do have options, but only one makes sense
If you think about it, there are many options. You could go to a big name university to study theology in a 2 or 3 year program while spending upwards of $20,000 with strict deadlines and don’t forget all the senseless papers you would need to write, that just waste time. You could piecemeal teachings together from various platforms online, which takes an immense amount of time to compile and organize.
I mean you could do these other things if you want to, but if you’re wanting to save time, money and energy (and get a higher quality education) then OABC is the only option that makes sense.
As a student you will be guided along our highly organized courses inside 5 pathways. Each pathway will build upon the previous pathway to deepen your understanding of God’s Word, all in an effort to train and equip you with biblical doctrine to disciple others, refute error and grow in your Faith!

Our course worksheets offer thought-provoking questions and topics designed to enhance your learning experience and facilitate better retention of knowledge. Interested in earning a Certificate of Achievement for all your hard work? These worksheets are your key towards that goal. Our Bible tracts provide you easy and quick access to various passages that can be used to refute and correct error related to false doctrines.

You can either continue down the path of least resistance, the path you have already been traveling, or you can choose the road less traveled. The path of least resistance will probably result in you getting the same outcomes you have always received.
But if you want something different to happen, if you want to change the direction of your future and grow deeper in a relationship with God, you are going to have to do something different. Make a new choice and pursue your new outcome.

Your enrollment into OABC , comes with a 100% money back guarantee. The way we designed the courses and lessons in OABC makes learning feel almost too easy. Other people in your life will quickly recognize a change in you as you become more confident to walk in truth and speak the Truth. Others will see the Joy and Peace you have and will say to themselves “whatever they did, I want it”.
I believe the BEST way for you to truly see the power of what OABC has to offer is for you to just come inside OABC and join us to experience it for yourself.
So to help you do this I am offering a 100% money back guarantee. All you have to do is watch the entire “How To Study Scripture” course and turn in the completed worksheet for the course within 3 days of signing up. If after 3 days of literally having access to view everything in OABC and after taking the “How To Study Scripture” course and filling out the worksheet, you still don’t think this is the right place for you then all you have to do is email us with the completed worksheet after watching the one course within 72 hours of purchase and request a full refund.

Answer: No. The price you enroll at will be your monthly price for as long as you remain a student with the Online Apologetics Bible College. However, prices are subject to increase in future enrollments for new students enrolling, so don’t delay, join today.
Answer: There are no time limits nor do the courses ever expire. You are free to complete lessons at a pace that works for you and your family. Courses can be retaken as often as you desire.
Answer: This answer is entirely up to you. You could finish a course in one week or one month, but this depends on the time you can dedicate to the course.
Answer: Enrollment opens periodically throughout the year. Just like any College we have to close our doors. This helps us focus on our students and developing lessons.
Answer: The cost has intentionally been kept unbelievably low so that almost any budget can afford to take college level Bible courses & various christian studies. The platform we host OABC on is free of ads and distractions and is a private server but that means it costs us money.
Communicating and encouraging our listeners through email also requires us to pay to use an email service provider. To keep our websites online & guarded against malicious hackers also requires additional costs. In reality nothing is free.
Many Bible colleges charge tens of thousands of dollars for far less than what is provided inside OABC and their orginization and delivery of their courses pales in comparison. Our cost is far below average when you honestly consider what you are subscribing to. If spending $97 a month for a few months is burdensome then please do not enroll.
In reality…. The pastors you listen to or trust have likely paid for their Christian education. The authors of the Bible dictionaries, commentaries and lexicons all likely paid for their Christian education. Even the translators of the Bible all paid for Christian education.
Lastly, what you are actually paying for is not just the teachings. You could learn most of this on your own over years of study and trial & error. What you are mostly paying for is the time saving and easy access to Bible and Christian education. You are paying for the decrease in time delay that it would take you to privately learn on your own over many years. You are paying for the decrease in effort and sacrifice it takes to painstakingly go through all the fluff and theatrics found online.
Answer: The amount of people that think paying for a Bible/Christian education, is synonymous to charging for the gospel only further proves why a more formal Christian education centered on God’s word needs to be more prevalent among believers today.
The gospel is the good news of our salvation because of what Jesus, the Son of God, accomplished on the cross for us. Evangelizing and proclaiming this Gospel is and always has been free. OABC is for Christians, people who have already heard the gospel and responded in faith and who are now born-again believers, seeking to grow mature in Christ. OABC is not for unbelievers who have not yet heard the gospel.
The entire Bible, however, is not in and of itself the gospel, but the Word of God. It is a deeper education into God’s Word that must be pursued. Learning Christian history, biblical Hebrew or Greek, about the various cults and their history and so much more is what a formal Bible education should consist of and does inside OABC.
Hearing the accurate proclamation of the gospel has always been free. Paying both money and time currency to grow deeper in a knowledge of our Christian Faith and of the Bible has always been commendable and sought after!
You’re not simply paying for Bible studies. You are paying for a Biblical education to be equipped faster to be used by God to fulfill your purpose in Christ Jesus!
*** Please know that we offer no refunds on the annual admission & only a limited refund for monthly admission as stated on the enroll page within 72 hours (exceptions do apply). This is due to the digital component of the college courses and materials being able to be downloaded.
