Douglas "Runks" Runkles

Runks is a 6'6", red-headed, A.D.H.D. kid magnet whose message has the humor of a stand-up comedian and the depth of a theologian. Runks is a master at capturing students' attention using hilarious stories to illustrate biblical truth with clarity, authority, and depth.

A sex abuse survivor, Runks has an awesome testimony of the power of God in desperate situations. His message of hope and freedom brings hope to the hurting and the hopeless. Runks' powerful message will inspire your students as well as your adults to trust in, live in, and walk in the life giving power Jesus.

Runks grew up in Midland, Texas and graduated from McMurry University in Abilene, Texas. After receiving his Master of Divinity degree from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, he served as a Youth Minister for 7 years and in January of 1998 began traveling the country communicating the gospel to teenagers, college students and adults. He currently lives in Levelland, Texas with his wife, Joanna, and children, Elli and Nick.

Runks is an energetic speaker that knows how to captivate his audience. When he is speaking to youth, he gets on their level. He knows how to relate to them, with making the kids laugh in one minute and then right back to a serious point that impacts a students life in the next.  Check out his My Space.  Everything about Runks communicates with teenagers, his words, his experiences, his attire, everything. Runks is essentially the message. “Force of nature” accurately describes his presence. The “force” your students will have to reckon with is the Power of God moving in this man’s life.
