About

Meet Caleb

I’m Caleb Lyda, the founder of 6-Minute Theology! I currently live in Saint Paul, Minnesota, and am married to my wife Elizabeth.

I started 6-Minute Theology because God has given me a desire to know Him more through studying His Word. This desire took root in my early teenage years when I took a systematic theology class on Wayne Grudem’s book, Bible Doctrine. This class spanned several years, and we studied the Bible’s teachings on a wide range of topics including God, man, salvation, the church, end times, and more. In addition to systematic theology, I was also fascinated by apologetics: the defense of the Christian faith. I competed in a speech and debate league named Stoa, which had an event called Apologetics. Stoa provided us with a list of over a hundred different questions related to defending the Christian faith, and we had to be prepared to give 6 minute speech on any of these topics. In my senior year of high school, I placed 3rd in the national tournament in Apologetics.

I continued to study God’s Word throughout my college years, where I obtained a Master’s Degree in Biblical Studies from Bethlehem College and Seminary. With this background, my aim is to simplify theology into bite-sized and digestible portions that you can apply to your daily life.
