Troy Schmidt

YOU CAN FIND OUT MORE ABOUT ME and other books I have written at my website www.troyeschmidt.com.

I started writing for animation, with credits for such TV shows as "Dennis the Menace," "Heathcliff" and "Flintstone Kids." I found my way to Orlando and wrote three seasons on "The Mickey Mouse Club" the show that launched the careers of Justin Timberlake, Ryan Gosling, Brittany Spears and Christina Aguilera.

GSN and the producers of "The American Bible Challenge" contacted me and asked me to help them put together a game show about the Bible. I joined them in Los Angeles and have worked with an amazing team through the pilot and three seasons.

One of the highlights of my career was writing the video series of "Hermie & Friends," not only because I got to work with Max Lucado, an author whose writing style I connected with, but because I was able to write for Tim Conway and Don Knotts.

I have enjoyed my relationship with the online Bible GLO where I produced a documentary on the life of Jesus called "In His Shoes." What a thrill to walk in the paths of Jesus Christ and share thoughts about his life with Max Lucado and Norman Geisler. (www.globible.com)

I am also on staff at Family Church where I serve as a Campus Pastor at our Windermere Campus. (www.ourfamily.church)

I also manage a Bible Answer blog called Reason for Hope (www.reasonhope.com) where I answer hard questions about God, faith and the Bible.
