About Me
About Doug Schofield
Welcome! I’m Doug Schofield, an author, Christian educator, and lifelong follower of Jesus. I spent more than 30 years in public education as a teacher and administrator, with additional experience in curriculum development and helping students think critically about complex issues.
Alongside my professional career, I served in churches and Christian ministries, teaching, mentoring, and creating resources to help children, teens, and adults understand and defend their faith. After retiring from public education, equipping teens, parents, and youth leaders became a primary focus of my writing and ministry.
I create practical, biblically grounded, evidence-based resources that help adults respond to honest questions, encourage thoughtful faith conversations, and guide young people toward a confident, resilient relationship with Jesus Christ. My hope is that these books, courses, and teaching tools will strengthen families, support churches, and prepare the next generation to live out their faith with conviction, wisdom, and grace.
Give Your Teen More Than “Just Have Faith”
Six practical apologetics resources to help your family examine difficult questions, discover credible answers, and build a faith that can withstand real-world challenges.
When your teenager begins asking questions about God, the Bible, suffering, science, or the resurrection, you do not need to panic—and you do not need to have every answer immediately. You do need trustworthy resources that can help you explore those questions together.
The Apologetics Bundle for Teens gives parents, teens, youth leaders, and Christian educators a ready-to-use collection of six resources covering some of Christianity’s most important truth claims and most difficult questions.
These resources do more than tell teens what Christians believe. They help young people understand why Christianity is reasonable, examine historical and biblical evidence, think critically about competing ideas, and express their beliefs with greater clarity and confidence.
Six Resources—One Complete Faith-Building Collection
The Confident Parent Guide
Walk with your tween through ten common questions about God and the Christian faith. This practical guide helps parents respond with confidence and grace while creating conversations in which questions are welcomed rather than feared.
Is the Bible Reliable?
A substantial, visually engaging presentation examining the credibility of Scripture through manuscripts, archaeology, early historical sources, fulfilled prophecy, and the formation of the New Testament. Complex evidence is presented clearly enough for teens to understand, remember, and explain.
Probing Grace: Equipping Teens to Stand Firm in Their Faith
Historical fiction, factual evidence, thought-provoking activities, and role-playing scenarios combine to make apologetics engaging and memorable. Teens are invited to investigate Christianity’s foundations, think critically, and practise explaining what they believe.
Did Jesus Really Rise?
Examine the historical evidence, eyewitness testimony, empty tomb, and alternative explanations surrounding the resurrection of Jesus. This accessible guide shows why belief in the risen Christ is not based on wishful thinking but can stand up to honest historical investigation.
Frustrated with Faith
A candid, practical exploration of doubts, suffering, unanswered prayer, Christian hypocrisy, and the relationship between faith and reason. Part workbook and part guided investigation, it helps teens and adults move from frustration toward clarity, confidence, and peace with God.
Beyond Doubts: Investigating Evidence for Faith
Explore evidence for God’s existence, the reliability of Scripture, and the meaning of salvation. This approachable guide reassures parents and teens that thoughtful, well-reasoned answers exist—even when neither of you considers yourself an expert.

The Journey to Faith Resilience
Today’s teens are growing up in a world filled with confusion, pressure, anxiety, skepticism, and competing worldviews. Many are not loudly rejecting Christianity — they are quietly drifting away from it.
Parents, pastors, teachers, and mentors often see the warning signs but feel unsure how to respond without creating conflict, fear, or emotional distance.
Before They Walk Away is a practical, biblically grounded guide designed to help caring adults confidently walk alongside teens through doubt, discouragement, and spiritual questions toward a resilient, lasting faith in Jesus Christ.
Drawing from more than 30 years of experience in education, leadership, mentoring, and Christian apologetics, Douglas Schofield combines biblical wisdom, relational insight, research, and practical tools to help mentors:
- Recognize the early signs of faith drift
- Create safe and honest conversations
- Understand the emotional and cultural pressures teens face
- Respond to difficult questions with wisdom and grace
- Use the FaithMap™ framework to understand where teens are spiritually
- Equip young people with evidence-based confidence in Christianity
- Build strong relationships that support long-term faith resilience
Filled with real-life case studies, discussion tools, visual diagrams, mentoring strategies, reflection exercises, and practical appendices, this resource is designed not only to inform — but to equip.
Whether you are a parent trying to reconnect with your teen, a pastor leading families, a teacher working with students, or a volunteer discipling young people, Before They Walk Away offers hope-filled guidance for one of the most important challenges facing the church today.
Because every conversation matters. Every relationship matters. And with God’s help, faith can last.
"Before They Walk Away" is a powerful and practical guide for parents, pastors, teachers, and mentors who want to help teenagers develop a strong, lasting faith in Christ. Douglas Schofield combines biblical wisdom with practical mentoring strategies to address the challenges young people face in today's culture.
The book offers valuable tools for recognizing faith drift, engaging in meaningful conversations, and guiding teens through doubt with grace and confidence. Its practical approach, including the FaithMap™ framework and real-life examples, makes it an excellent resource for anyone involved in discipling the next generation.
This is an encouraging, well-written, and highly recommended book that equips readers to help young people build a resilient faith that endures.
