I legit thought this man was 20 years old and then he said he was a professor and I was floored lol

I grew up in churches of Christ, and have also been Catholic. I find your videos to be very balanced and factual. They aren’t the typical attack pieces, and I find them very profitable for learning. Thank you for the work that goes into them.

As an Orthodox Christian I find your work very refreshing. Love your sister in Christ.

Imagine graduating and coming back week after week to hear your professor again! Almost a year after graduation and I'm thinking back to him casually mentioning his youtube presence and me cracking some "Smash that like button!" Thanks again brother

Hello Joshua, I am Don. I appreciate your dilligence and thoroughness. As you pointed out, the "content density" in many KZfaq presentations is fairly low, and very few presenters are truly "objective." Here is a thank you gift. As a Professor, in what I imagine is a relatively small private school, I suspect extra cash is rapidly deployed for necessities or mission. Blessings.

My mother was Independent Baptist, I am a United Methodist. My brother is Church of God, another brother is an Atheist, I have relatives that are Mormon, Presbyterian, Pentecostal Holiness and others. We all do our best not to talk about our faith when we get together (which I find to be sad) My beliefs have evolved over the years, and I have noticed that most Christians do not really know what their denominations believe. You my friend are doing a great service to the Christian faith. I have never seen a more non-judgmental or a more unbiased presentation. Your students are very lucky to have you as their professor. Note: You look way too young to be a professor.... but that is a good thing. Thanks.

Finding a niche that matches a need and your own interest = priceless!

As a Catholic man, I love and appreciate your videos. Your videos are amazing in helping to explore the other faiths around us. Your neutral view point in the videos helps to make the information far more clear and understandable.

I did not realize a 20 year old could be a professor. Wow. I knew Joshua was highly intelligent and well spoken. I am very impressed with him. Lord continue to bless him. Thank you Sir.

Im a Catholic that’s a former protestant. I knew you weren’t Catholic from the way you talked but assumed you had to be a high church protestant of some sort. You do a good job at being objective. I really appreciate your channel. Just discovered it a few days ago.

I love how you don't give your opinions and just post the facts so I can learn about the other denominations, I am Independent Baptist also.

Very cool how through KZfaq, you have essentially extended your classroom and made us all your students. I’m a recent subscriber. I love the content. God bless!

I was baptized as an infant in the Christian Reformed church (highly Calvinistic) and when the family moved we were in the Brethren church, and when I was nine we moved into the Baptist church where I spent the rest of my formative years, through high school. In my early twenties I had discerned so many contradictory teachings that I looked for something different. Because of the esthetics involved I became an Episcopalian where the worship, hymnody, and theology wee beautiful and consistent. This however was almost sixty years ago, and much has changed in Anglicanism since then. 38 years ago I entered the Roman Catholic Church, and then 30 years ago I was ordained a priest. Things have indeed changed a bit since then but certainly not to the degree they have in other Christian denominations. As with others comments above, I have truly enjoyed, Joshua, your clear and non polemic descriptions of the various Christian groups. I have found very little that I can disagree with in your presentations, if indeed any at all. I have deeply studied Christianity all my life which I think gives me a valuable, at least to me, access to discern honesty and truth about Christian matters. I therefore value your wonderful careful and accurate research and evaluation which you so clearly present in each of your videos! Thank you, and may God bless you!

Joshua, your labor is not in vain. You’re producing truly great stuff. I appreciate your straightforward, non-biased presentations. Denominations are sort of the behind the scenes story in the fabric of our society. (Especially in the United States.) Keep up the great work!

I have just discovered your channel, I am a Catholic deacon. You really do quite a phenomenal job. These videos are clearly presented without bias, and are obviously intended to teach the unfamiliar about denominational differences.

7:25 I'm more than happy to be one of your subscribers. Few content creators have the integrity that you've demonstrated on this channel.

Your "high information density" is greatly appreciated! This is how KZfaq videos should be done. Thank you for your efforts.

Congrats on your hard work and professional unbiased way to teach all of us on different denominations. As Roman Catholic, with Puritan and Quaker genes, living in South America, I hope you would be glad to know your teachings reach as far as Buenos Aires!

I used to listen to a lot of lore videos about different types of Space Marines, but now I prefer this.

Could you cover the "alternative" Catholic groups? Old Catholic, Anglican Catholics, SSPX (and other groups that call themselves Catholic but don't recognize the pope), etc

I speak as a theologian, with numerous degrees though mostly in Science. You have made a valuable contribution to the history and status of the church, and I esteem you.

Hello Joshua i learn many new information about Christian domination from you. Thank you so much for your hard work. Im from India and I belong to Presbyterian(PCI)

I would have guessed you were a Lutheran. Well this Catholic loves Independant Baptists too!! I love youre channel broder

I am a Roman Catholic and I enjoy your info on the various Protestant denominations especially the various schisms etc.

As someone who has been trying to fill the gap of personal ignorance about the various denominations while pondering where he fits into the church at large, I really appreciate your ability to examine the spectrum of practice and belief without applying a personal agenda. Thank you for providing a much needed resource.

I have really enjoyed listening to your videos. I would enjoy more about the holiness movement and denominations. I may not have come acrossed it though.

Your videos are very objective Joshua. Thanks for your work.

I am in my 70’s and was a Chaplain for the Arkansas Department of corrections, from the late 70’s to the early 90’s. I am a 1977 graduate of Dallas theological seminary then my PHD is from LSU in clinical psychology. I was raised in the missionary Baptist then married into the Southern Baptist. As a Chaplain I was ordained Southern Baptist & Assemblies of God. Sad to say there are issues with both I disagree with. Now in my 70’s I have moved into the country side on a small Farm. There was a little church just across the road that was mennonite, so I thought this would be interesting so I have be attending their services and have enjoyed them. They have also ask me to fill in on several occasions. When people ask me what I am I usually say I a Christian.

LCMS pastor here, your videos are a version of a seminary class that I had and a book I had to read back in the day, "Religious Bodies of North America." Well done.

You’ve been doing a great job. Fun to see someone who’s an independent Baptist who is not as high strung about being an independent Baptist. I actually am about to graduate PCC next month and have come to the conclusion I wish to stay non-denominational, but I always love these videos. You’re awesome. Keep up the fight.

I love the high information density format! It makes your videos so much easier and more pleasant to listen to. Keep it up!

You'd never make it as an instructor in the U.S. Army, infamous for its ability to cram two weeks of training into a three month program. 😊 Keep up the OUTSTANDING work!

Hi Joshua (great name because he's one of my favorite Bible people) I enjoyed this video about you even after it has been out for 2 years.

Im glad to know that you are an independent Baptist.I understand it to mean an independent baptist that is not critical of non king James only and calling those who don't agree with you as brothers in the faith and not compromisers and leaning toward new evangelicalism.Thank you very much for those videos about the different Christian denominations that save me a lot of time researching and visiting bookstores who sell used books containing the history of churches now available this KZfaq channel.

Joshua, you are doing an outstanding job. Thank you.

As a Theology Student (from the Church of the Nazarene), i find your content very helpful, factual and well-presented. God richly bless you!

I am currently studying Church History, I do appreciate your attention to detail to Church History. Grace and Peace.

Atheist here, I really enjoy your channel. Growing up all i knew was two groups : Catholicsm and 'not Catholic' 😆

You're an exceptionally organized thinker and clear communicator, on top of being charitably objective and well researched. That you have labels on your bookshelves denoting sections makes my Aspie heart happy.

Hi. I enjoy your videos here at Ready to Harvest. Thanks for working hard to being balanced and informative

I’m Catholic (ex Nondenominational/Baptist) and love your vids, they allow me to learn more about denominations of Protestantism that I have little exposure to and even learn more about the denomination I left as I wasn’t THAT well educated on it

You share the same name as our loving Christ! Keep up this amazing research and unbiased presentation, you do an amazing job!

I watch everyday. This is quite an undertaking for you. Thanks for the information.

I appreciate your preparation and concise nature of your videos. I don't have time to listen to someone ramble for 45 minutes. I bet you are a really good teacher and probably a hard one.

I was raised LDS, & my mothers side was Church of the Brethern descended from Anabaptists. I really enjoy your videos. I find them fact based & concise. I love that I can go through & educate myself about all the different options there are. Thank you so much for doing this!

The most important thing you do well, that is very rare on KZfaq, is that you present each demonimation's teachings in their own words, and from their own perspective, rather than from the perspective of their critics.

Dear Joshua, thanks for your unbiased information. My countru, Brazil, is the largest Catholic country. We are lost in this immensity. The pentecostal movement is making Brazil second in the area. There are African Brazilian and Indigenous religions too. It is also the most spiritist country in the world. Double common denominations as creed are not uncommon and not confliting. Brazil is quite tolerant to religious options and normally you won't be disturbed by people with other options. Thanks again for you service to the understanding of religions in the world. Please keep informing!

Algorithm is so advanced that I just thought how it didn't pop up one of your videos for awhile and how I'm curious on your denomination. Lo and behold this video shows up. For what it's worth, I thought you might be a baptist. I was raised in a Roman Catholic tradition and while technically never left I was baptized trough one Christian movement and developed interest for history, schisms, doctrines, denominations and basically all things church. I'm not sure how good that actually is. Every pastor or priest I've talk to pretty much have their own understanding of unity and the body of Christ. When I came to Christ I could not imagine divisions - all I saw was a cross. But sorry for the ramble, I really like the channel and have profited from the information you shared - thank you.

And thanks for the "introduction" as you put it. Coming from another country and another continent, I've enjoyed the reports generally and in particular those on denominations largely unknown here. Like Esther Stuckey, I'd concluded that you weren't a Catholic but thought you were probably Episcopalian (where I am that's Anglican) or perhaps Lutheran. Baptists are well known here, but the number of adherents is much lower than Catholics, Anglicans or Uniting. Unlike some others posting, I consider your reports to be very straightforward and objective. They've introduced me to schools of belief and practice with which I'd had limited experience and I've appreciated that. Please keep up the good work.

Very Refreshing and Joyful to be under an unbiased educated teaching.

What I most enjoy about your videos is they are truly unbiased. That's in short supply these days. I just want the plain, unbiased explanation of what each denomination believes and you do that. Thank you! I appreciate the enormous amount of research you do for each of these videos.

Thank you for creating this channel, I’ve been watching your videos all week as I’ve thought about switching demonstrations.

I have found your videos to be very fair and accurate without being judgmental. No one could know your personal religious affiliation from the way you present, even though it is obvious that you are a person who is very serious about your personal beliefs. Well done!

I have really enjoyed learning about denominations, keep up the good work. Great resources on your website too!

I guessed right concerning your denomination. I appreciate your honesty and am very much enjoying your clear- cut, plainspoken content. Thank you.

I enjoyed your video explaining Primitive Baptists, but now, after watching the broader view of your channel, I'm REALLY impressed. You did a better job than many of our own members, in representing and explaining our little churches.

I’m Catholic. Previously I believe in my ignorance thay Catholic is the only correct way. Now after wataching you I’m still Catholic but my mind is opened that all Christian has a very good and unique way to reach salvation. After all Christ died for all, not just for one denomination. I also become aware that Catholic dogma is not as close minded as it was used to be. God bless us sending your channel to this world. God bless you sir!

I don't want to feed Joshua's ego but he comes off as objective even when talking unscripted about himself. Thank you for the information dense videos. Learning about other denominations, their: structure, theology, history, etc was something I didn't realize I could find fascinating.

You do an incredible job on this scholarship dude. You’re right about the lack of content like this on the web. You have become maybe the single best and most accessible resource on denominations. Very cool. ✌️

Joshua sir, thank you so much for the wonderful work you are doing in educating all of us about the many and different Christian Denominations in an unbiased presentation! I am a Catholic and have been intrigued with the various expressions of Christian faith therefore your videos satisfies my interests! God bless you and your teaching ministry!

One of the best researched channels on KZfaq. Maybe the best. This is definitely my go to place for accurate information on different belief systems within Christianity. I completely agree not stating your own position is a good idea. It does distract from the video's.

As Christians we are people of the truth. We cannot misrepresent someone even if we disagree with them. We cannot "bear false witness" even against false teachers. Every one of your videos does a great job of representing the various groups they discuss in a fair and accurate way.

Non-denominational Gospel believer here who would broadly concur with the positions of independent Bible, Open Brethren and Evangelical Free churches - a classic moderate fundamentalism I suppose. Your videos are exceptionally helpful, well researched, objectively presented and very informative. The channel is a go to valuable resource in finding out what different denominations actually teach and practice. I never would have guessed you are associated with the IFB Joshua and defy the stereotype somewhat. Maybe you're more in that milder tempered, better reasoned, less carping and all round more gracious John R Rice line than the likes of J.Frank Norris, Jack Hyles, Peter Ruckman and today's Spencer Smith. Much blessing to you in the Lord's service.

I'm an undenominational Christian reared in an unchurched environment. I greatly appreciate your scholarly and unemotionally factual approach. I've subscribed and have already recommended one of your videos to 8 people. I'll be watching more of your stuff. Thanks.!

I was 100% sure you were Reformed Presbyterian! Haha. I love this channel, it also helps me to improve my English. Greetings from Colombia!

"Amen" to your comment about making presentation concise. MUCH appreciated. There are many KZfaq channels I would like to watch but don't because presenter rambles, taking an hour plus to give about 15 minutes of content. I assume they like to hear themselves talk, or believe viewers have nothing else to do but watch their video. Your channel is great!

Hello from Norway! - I just want to say thank you so mutch for this cannel, it is really helpful for me and many more i think.

I appreciate your hard work, you save me a lot of time. watching your videos makes it hard to guess what denomination youre a part of lol. in the beginning i thought you were either eastern orthodox or some form of baptist lol. youre a brilliant and handsome man, the Lord has blessed you greatly.

I have loved your work. Thank you so much for your method.

You have a gift, I'm glad God has placed in your heart to share and respect ALL Christians, as echoed in the words of Jesus:" John 17:21-26 I pray that they may all be one. Father! May they be in us, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they be one, so that the world will believe that you sent me."

I caught your channel right as I was really digging in and learning about what I believe and why. Your lectures about a faith crisis and how to actually lead someone to Christ were significant in teaching me to think critically about my beliefs and from there learning for myself that independent fundamental baptist is the denomination that follows closest to what the bible says. (Plus or minus a few variations considering they are independent) Praise God for leading you to start this and I'll be keeping an eye out for more.

I especially appreciate your content dense style and neutral tone. I have been an observer of denominations for many years. I've always felt that you have been fair and accurate.

You do a great job!! Keep up the good work!

I highly respect your commitment to information density and presentation. I've always really admired that, and your labour of collecting this information from many, disparate sources, some perhaps rambling, and bringing it all into one clear place for the interested person to get clear, hopefully unbiased, overviews of it all.

Subscribed. Just a quick question. Have you thought of doing a few videos on church history? Most Protestants lack knowledge in this area and surrender this history to Catholics without knowing it is not what Catholics say it is . Cool channel just subscribed. Blessings

I am a part of the Assemblies of God,love your channel!

Thank you, brother. You are doing great work for the kingdom. You’re content is truly a blessing.

Thank you so much for your channel! It's incredible. I'm RC but love learning about other denominations and you are always on point and unbiased.

I belong to an ELCA Lutheran church in Alabama but have had many questions about Christian Theology for most of my life. Your channel has helped me formulate more comforting answers to my questions than any other pastor or bible scholar. Thanks for your factual and well organized lectures.

Well done. I honestly had no idea what your denomination was. So it’s a good indicator that you have done your best to have little to no bias.

You're a real trooper for doing all that work. So many hats you have to wear and you do them all so well

Well done Joshua, I grew up in the United Church of Canada and was suprised to see Canadian content on your site. You were pretty tough on them but your criticisms were valid (hey we have an athiest minister you can't make that stuff up!). Stick with the scripted, sometimes you are going too fast but it is easy to pause and go back if I have missed something, I also enjoy the polls, often I will leave a comment to try to get others to think outside their box.

Thanks, Joshua for your videos! It's helpful!

Well done. Thank you for creating these videos.

Your content is amazing! Your work is much appreciated.❤️

New to your channel and now a subscriber. I have viewed many of your videos and find them very helpful for understanding the multitude of denominations out there. Good content and a very pleasing format! Also feel that you are doing a good job keeping your presentations free from personal bias.

Glory be to God you are helping me a lot!!

Thank you for all of your hard work! This could be very helpful for people who want to know more about their own denomination!

Love your content Joshua! I look forward to watching your new videos every week, and I love your rigorous efforts to be both unbiased and incredibly informative. Keep up the good work!

Bravo Joshua! Your content is potent and straightforward. So generous of you to share it with everyone.

You do a fantastic job of sorting out information & the history of different denominations. Thank you.

Thank you so much for your work. The information on your videos couldn't be any better. Thank you !!!

Thanks. Your videos are so even-handed. Blessings.

Your content is brilliantly structured. Awesome work. Thanks for the help.

Thanks so much for doing this. I’ve been wanting to learn about church history for a long time but never had the time. Now I can learn in bite size chunks while I’m doing other things.

I really enjoy your videos! Please keep up the great work! Thank you

I love your videos. A sound knowledge of the denominations and how they began serves to suppress many doubts.

Your effort is great Joshua, I am really grateful for you making me learn new things

Your programs are obviously top quality and extremely educational RS. Canada

I have been teaching Church History for nearly 30 years in an adult Sunday School class. Wish I could have found your site earlier. Normally I use the Teaching Company courses.
