About

Hi, my name is Daniel Smith and I love learning about the life of Christ! My hope is to help transport you into the teachings of the Savior through historical, cultural, and visual storytelling. I&rsquo;ll do this using artwork, 3D recreations, archeology, and more. I&rsquo;ll focus on the life and teachings of Christ, the events of Holy Week, and the context of the Jewish Feasts and ancient temple worship. 
I started the channel in 2009 after having had the chance to live in Jerusalem for two months. This was a life-changing experience and I desired to share some of the things I learned. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, though I work to appeal to all faiths. I work for an amazing organization called Scripture Central. My hope is to help others hear, come, and know Christ through these messages.

Messages of Christ

Hidden within the Bible is a pattern—a sacred blueprint woven throughout its holy stories. It tells of a lost paradise, the tragedy of exile, and the promise of return. Though obscured by time, translation, and culture, this ancient pattern reveals a message that lies at the heart of the biblical story: humanity’s salvation and return to God’s presence through the sacrifice of the Messiah.If you benefited from this production and would like to offer a contribution, please visit our sponsor, Scripture Central, to make a donation.
