986: Ken Ham’s Miraculous Journey: From Science Teacher to Ark Builder

How do you go from a high-school science teacher to leading two world-class attractions that point millions to the authority of Scripture? In this episode of The Shaun Tabatt Show, Ken Ham shares the behind-the-scenes story from his new book, Miraculous: The Ken Ham and Answers in Genesis Story—a visually rich, “coffee-table-meets-biography” that chronicles Red Sea moments, Disney-quality exhibit breakthroughs, opposition from skeptics, and the quiet faithfulness that built the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter.

What You'll Learn:

• Why Genesis 1–11 is foundational for Christian doctrine, the gospel, marriage, and worldview.
• Ken’s early influences (family legacy, apologetics mindset) and how that shaped his life calling.
• The pivotal shift from classroom teacher to full-time ministry—and the entrepreneurial steps in between.
• “Responsible faith” vs. foolhardiness: discerning God’s leading while taking bold, practical action.
• How God provided people, resources, and expertise at just-in-time moments to scale a global ministry.
