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

Most people read the story of Abraham and Isaac as a troubling test of obedience—but the biblical account reveals something far deeper. Why would God ask Abraham to sacrifice the very son through whom the covenant promises were to be fulfilled?Learn what this powerful test means for believers today, and how the “binding of Isaac” foreshadows the greatest sacrifice ever made.- - - - - - - - - -If you benefited from this production and would like to offer a contribution, please visit our sponsor, Scripture Central, to make a donation.
