About Paul Natekin

Paul Natekin is a seminary graduate, co-founder of RadioMv Network, published author, Christian apologist, and a father of five who has dedicated his life to reaching the lost and equipping believers worldwide.

Born in Russia, Paul and his family fled the Soviet Union as religious refugees seeking freedom to worship. His own 18-year journey through atheism, Buddhism, Islam, and doubt led him to a life-changing encounter with Christ at age 20 — an experience that fuels everything he does today.

What began in 2006 as a small radio ministry has grown into a three-branch global organization reaching 136+ countries. Paul serves as the driving force behind RadioMv's technology and strategy, coordinates mission work in Yucatan, Mexico, edits a Christian magazine, writes books, teaches at churches and seminaries, and travels extensively to advance the Gospel.

His Journey

From Soviet Atheism to Christ

Growing up in Soviet Russia, Paul was raised in a Christian family that faced severe persecution for their faith. After fleeing to America, young Paul found himself on an 18-year spiritual journey — exploring atheism, Buddhism, Islam, and battling deep doubt.

As a curious child, Paul once famously dismantled his father's stereo looking for the tiny singers he was sure lived inside. That same relentless curiosity drove him to search for truth in every corner of human thought and philosophy. At age 20, that search led him home — to a personal, transforming faith in Jesus Christ.

Today, Paul channels that same hunger for truth into helping others find answers. His apologetics ministry, writing, and teaching are all shaped by his own journey from doubt to faith — making him uniquely equipped to reach skeptics and strengthen believers.

"Stay hungry for the meaning of life. The questions that keep you up at night are the very ones God wants to answer."

~ Paul Natekin
