“Knowledge is what we can gain from our experiences, but wisdom is what we can gain from others who have already had those experiences,” Benton T. Thompson III.

In his gentle tone and with a lighthearted smile, he adds “knowledge is sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic, but wisdom is taking an alternative route because you listened when someone said the highway was bumper to bumper.”

Benton’s pursuit of seeking truth led him on a personal pilgrimage to Israel, where he was baptized in the Jordan River as well as baptizing others. 

Ordained as a Minister in 1996, served as pastorate for 15 years, supported on mission trips to Belize, Philippines, Jordan, Israel, UK, West Indies and India. Benton has always been a seeker of the Truth.

He shares the practical and relatable insights of Truth that he’s been given across many platforms. As a regular columnist in a national women’s magazine, “Precious Times”, on TBN, Atlanta Live, Dove TV and other programs, contributor on YouVersion Bible App devotionals, and author of many wonderfully inspirational books.

Benton’s life mirrored his passion for ministry as he started a homeless men’s shelter program to offer those less fortunate and hand up not just a handout, served on a prison ministry to let those in captivity know that freedom is still available and was chaplain for the oldest orphanage in Atlanta, Georgia sharing love and hope with children who at times felt unloved and hopeless.  

If you are seeking wisdom and/or truth, you’ve come to the right place. Benton T. Thompson III is a captivating author and speaker with a keen loving heart, who wants to assist in helping seekers find the truth.
