About Alex

Alex Haiken came to faith in Christ at age 29 while attempting to disprove the Bible. Instead, he found the historical and prophetic evidence for the claims of Christ so compelling that, in his words, it ultimately required more faith to reject the Bible than to believe it. 

As a new believer, Alex was told he could not be both a follower of Christ and a gay man. Initially accepting this interpretation, he later concluded that the traditional interpretation of the biblical texts on homosexuality could not withstand careful scrutiny. That conclusion went on to shape the focus of his work and teaching.

In a time of intense cultural and religious polarization, Alex believes thoughtful, honest engagement with the Bible is more important than ever. His work reflects a commitment to following the evidence wherever it leads—even when that path is difficult or comes at personal cost. 

Alex holds two master’s degrees: an M.A. in Urban Ministry from Westminster Theological Seminary and an M.S. in Television and Radio from Brooklyn College. He also earned an undergraduate degree in General Studies from the New York Institute of Technology. For 23 years, Alex served on staff at the United Nations, where he managed complex, high-visibility information technology projects. In addition to his professional career, he volunteered for five years as a Lifeline phone counselor with The Trevor Project, the nation’s leading provider of crisis intervention and suicide prevention services for LGBTQ youth. 

Alex is a presenter, teacher, and writer whose work focuses on the intersection of faith and LGBTQ identity, the Jewish roots of the Christian faith, messianic apologetics, and biblical prophecy. He has presented and taught at numerous churches and venues and developed a 13-week course on Old Testament messianic prophecies fulfilled in the first coming of Christ. 

Drawing on his Jewish background, seminary training, and years of personal study, he teaches the Scriptures with both intellectual rigor and pastoral sensitivity—helping others engage difficult questions with honesty, clarity, and grace.
