Joel Muddamalle

Husband. Father. Author. Theologian.

All in all, Bible Nerd.

HEY, I’M Joel Muddamalle –

I’m passionate about helping people move from biblical confusion to spiritual clarity. As a theologian, I believe truth should transform—not just inform. That’s why I work to make Scripture not only theologically rich, but deeply practical. Whether I’m serving through Proverbs 31 Ministries, as Theologian in residence at local churches, teaching at conferences and retreats, or sharing through my Humble Theology Substack and YouTube channel, my goal is simple: to equip people to walk in freedom with wisdom grounded in God’s Word.

Dr. JOEL MUDDAMALLE

Joel Muddamalle hold a PhD in theology and serves as the director of theology and research at Proverbs 31 Ministries. He co-hosts the Therapy & Theology podcast with Lysa TerKeurst and licensed counselor Jim Cress. Joel is a frequent speaker for churches, conferences and events. He released his first book, The Hidden Peace: Finding True Security, Strength and Confidence Through Humility in 2024. Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, Joel and his wife enjoy a full house with their four children and German Shepard, Lady. If he doesn’t have a theology book in hand, you can sure he’s coaching one of his kids in a sport or doing his best to keep up his hoops games on the basketball court.
