Education and work
Koukl received an M.A. in Philosophy of Religion and Ethics from Talbot School of Theology, and also an M.A. in Christian apologetics from Simon Greenleaf School of Law.

In 1993 Koukl founded Stand to Reason, an organization dedicated to training those supporting his Christian viewpoints to defend their faith with "knowledge, wisdom, and character". Stand to Reason produces a weekly radio program, audio podcasts, articles, and video materials. Stand to Reason ended its radio program on KBRT, its flagship station, on 6 December 2015. Stand to Reason sponsors mission trips in which students encounter those with opposing points of view, including Mormons and atheists.

His book "Tactics: A Game Plan for Discussing Your Christian Convictions" was cited as a must read on how to share Christian beliefs and defend Christianity in an article on the Christian Post. Koukl is known in particular for what he calls the "Columbo tactic" (named after the fictional detective) of always asking one more question.
