I believe everyone is born on purpose with a purpose. Knowing that purpose allows you to lead and operate most effectively. Every leader should first and foremost be willing to learn and grow so that they maximize their ability to lead and so that they are in position to provide the best example of what they hope to produce in those that follow them. Lastly, leadership and submission are wholly intertwined. You can’t lead effectively if you’ve never followed faithfully. For this reason I speak to the fact that leadership starts at the bottom.
We had Alex present at our Youth Apologetics Conference in Charlotte, NC. He did two keynote sessions- one on purpose and one on the question of afterlife (we were doing worldview questions). Alex was very accommodating, and when his speaking sessions were over, he hung out with our students for hours (which I did not paid him for) and even played a round of dodgeball with 170 students! I can't recommend him highly enough! The students LOVED him!
Response from Relentless Pursuit of Purpose:
Thanks! I appreciate it! I had a lot of fun with the students as well!
Alex came to speak with us at Taylor University for our chapel service to a student audience of 1300. With only a week of preparation from when we asked him, Alex delivered a powerfully articulate and apologetic message of truth in a time where our campus was experiencing tension and discord. Many students, faculty, and administrators offered their appreciation of Alex's words and time with us on campus. It was not only about his speaking in our chapel but his time spent with students afterwards answering their questions and sharing personal insights in a talk back afterwards. As the director of the program, I got the privilege of talking extensively with Alex and through our many conversations, he repeatedly showed his wisdom and a deep faith. I strongly encourage you to take this chance and reach out to Alex. He has a powerful story, a gifting with words, and a beautiful appreciation of the gospel. Loved having him, here
Response from Relentless Pursuit of Purpose:
Thank you! I appreciate your feedback!
God bless.
Alex McElroy was invited to speak to my students as a Key Note speaker at an event a few weeks back. He over delivered! Students walked away inspired and in deep thought about the information he shared.
Even over a week later my students are still quoting him! You will not be disappointed! This is the kind of motivation that changes your life for the better!
Response from Relentless Pursuit of Purpose:
Thank you! I appreciate it!
I have heard Alex McElroy speak on a number of occasions, so when I hosted an event for my male mentor group Men of Purpose, Journey to Self-Discovery there was no doubt in my mind who I wanted to speak. I hosted an event with dads at my local elementary school. He not only congratulated the men for the work that they had been doing in the lives of their children, he encouraged fathers and father figures to continue striving for excellence. Men left this event feeling not only inspired, but empowered to make a difference not only in their children lives, but the lives of the children surrounding them.
What I appreciated the most, was his continued connection and commitment to the students and the school. I hosted another event two weeks later and he returned on his own time to speak life into the children of Gresham School of Excellence.
Response from Relentless Pursuit of Purpose:

Alex delivers dynamic talks to audiences large and small on the topics of leadership, purpose, and apologetics. If you want a speaker who can help your audience, attendees, or employees connect the dots in their lives in order to become who they were designed to be, then Alex is your man!
Alex McElroy is an international speaker, apologist, leadership advisor and the author of the book “Blueprint for Bible Basics” and writes a blog titled “Relentless Pursuit of Purpose.” He is the Pastor of Education at Engage Community Church and formerly held the same position at New Life Covenant Southeast Church, led by Pastor John F. Hannah with 20,000 members. For over 14 years Alex has served in both youth and adult teaching ministries. Alex has also trained hundreds of teachers and ministers so they are equipped to deliver lessons in Biblical study, purpose, leadership and Apologetics in order to maximize their effectiveness in and for the Kingdom of God. He is a firm believer that everyone is born on purpose with a purpose. He teaches people all over the world to find the purpose God has placed inside of them and to deliver it to the world.
Though living in his purpose now, Alex has experienced and overcome significant struggles and setbacks in life. He suffered the loss of his father at a young age, dealt with drug and alcohol abuse in his college years, and found himself in an angry, depressed and lonely place as he endured financial hell that resulted in bankruptcy and desperation. Thankfully, God used these arduous moments to reveal Himself. Alex came to see God in a new way and developed a desire to learn the Word of God. In learning the Word, Alex cultivated a strong relationship with God and came to believe in Jesus' example of discipleship both in church and professionally. As a Christian Apologist, Alex is able to connect the Bible, historical facts, and scientific evidence to the purpose we each have within us.
Beyond his role at church, Alex has been instrumental in implementing his message of leadership and purpose in the business world. He has worked in and enjoyed tremendous success in the mortgage industry, insurance and financial services, as well as in the arena of energy efficiency. He is also a dedicated husband to his supportive wife of twelve years and a loving father to two beautiful daughters who continue to inspire and push him to be a better man.
Now, Alex hopes to help others cultivate their own authentic relationship with God. He continues to disciple hundreds of teens and adults through one-on-one mentoring, small group meetings, coaching and electronic communications. As the head of the Education Department at Engage Community Church, he embraces every opportunity to teach both youth and adults the foundational concepts of the Word of God, the principles of the Kingdom of God, and how to live out the purpose God has placed in each of us. This is because Alex is a firm believer that God has created everyone on purpose with a purpose.
