FAQs About DrWitnesser and His Ministry

He streams live from Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. EST on Twitch and TikTok.

No. He is not a pastor or formal “preacher”. He is just a layman. He also does not have a theological degree.

Some have said that DrWitnesser should not witness or discuss the Bible with others because of this lack of education or position. We challenge these people to read about how most of Jesus’ disciples came from humble worker-class jobs, such as fishermen, seen as uneducated and illiterate. Only later after being disciples of Jesus, studying, and working hard to spread the Gospel were they recognized as knowledgeable in scripture and well-spoken with authority in discussing religion. Jesus himself was from a humble background, but very well studied the Hebrew scriptures, having no “formal” education.

While there is no distinct method or label to how he studies the Bible, some may consider it being a “Bible fundamentalist”. It isn’t as simple or strict as that.

How he studies the Bible is based on these principles:

• Have trust and faith that God would preserve His Word as He said He would.
• Have trust and faith in God’s promise to help those who ask for wisdom. He will provide it. God knows your heart. Pray before studying the Bible.
• Go by the Bible alone, sola Scriptura. God created the Bible to instruct us, so no other resource is needed but the Bible alone (other than the Holy Spirit). We can use the Bible to understand the Bible.
• Understand that God and the Bible would not contradict itself. It may seem like that in parts, but with careful study of context, it can be explained why it seems to contradict but does not.
• Sometimes God withholds or blocks someone from understanding a part of the Bible, especially prophecy, and has good reasons. Perhaps they are not ready.
• You have to put aside your own biases. If you do not have an open mind, this could block you from understanding. Similarly, if you go looking for the answer you want, you will find what you want it to say. But it probably is not the true answer.
• Read the Bible for yourself. Don’t take anyone else’s word for what it says and means. Study it yourself.

He used to be a heavily invested online gamer. Doing hard-core MMORPG raids and professional live streaming just playing games.

He stopped doing this after being saved. However, he felt that the gaming community he came from needed to hear the Word. This is where he felt called to go.

He does go into other online games as well but not as frequently, such as Call of Duty: Warzone and Modern Warfare 3, Sea of Thieves, Overwatch, Apex Legends, and Valorant.

The reason he primarily plays Fortnite is because he is the most familiar and comfortable playing this game while witnessing. He is more able to easily multitask while still playing effectively.

Also, Fortnite is the viewer’s most requested and watched gameplay (DrWitnesser frequently polls his viewers of which game they want him to play).

Fortnite also is the best game and features for playing together with others using voice chat built in. Other games also have battle royal mode and team play with voice chat, but they tend to have fewer players with mics. Or the matches are too short or intense gameplay to have meaningful conversations with his teammates.

This is a popular question, but often unclear what the person asking it means. What do they mean by “respect”? He does not agree with or support other religions, because the Bible is clear Jesus is the only way to salvation.

However, he respects that God gave us each free will to choose for ourselves what we believe and who we choose to follow. He supports religious freedom for all due to this.

Everyone should be able to choose themselves, no one should be forced into a religion’s practices. Nor should governments or people restrict religion unless it threatens other people’s human rights. He also does not support freedom from religion, sometimes confused with religious freedom, because that would be an anti-religious stance.

He was first suspended on July 13, 2020, and then on August 3, 2020. Then he was indefinitely banned by Twitch on January 6, 2021.

Both suspensions and the ban were due to vague community guideline violations. He was not told what if any specific video, topic, or words were the reason.

He was also banned on TikTok in mid-2021, then unbanned in late 2022, for again vague community guideline violations.

Absolutely not. Some people assume that Fortnite is a kids game, and because that is where he primarily witnesses on, they make this false claim.

In actuality, DrWitnesser prefers and wants to witness to adults.

His channel clearly states that while he will not swear, he often runs into adults in Fortnite who say inappropriate things or are like a cussing sailor. And so children should not watch his content or live streams. It is intended for an 18+ audience.

This incident happened in mid-2020. While live streaming in Fortnite, he witnessed to what he thought was a Muslim young adult, who turned out to be a kid. The interaction between the two of them was not negative, they had a civil discussion about their faiths. But a clip was taken from his vod and misconstrued by anti-Christian trolls.

This is the part often clipped: “So look if you were to die in your sins today, you would be sentenced to hell.” But what they do not show is prior to this they had been talking for a while discussing what Muslims believe about Jesus. Why you need Jesus to be saved.

After the incident, he made a statement that his conversation was definitely taken out of context, but he apologized and admitted he can always do better in how he shares the gospel. He adjusted how he witnesses in games.

Now always clearly asking if the people in his games want to talk about the Bible. He no longer uses the Living Waters, Ray Comfort method of street evangelism called “Way of the Master” where to be able to explain why someone needs to be saved, you have to explain what is sin, that they have sinned, and what are the consequences of sin.

This is often a loaded question or accusation by anti-Christian trolls in his chat. Perpetuating hate. People often see clips and highlights from his live streams of just funny parts of a witnessing conversation. Where DrWitnesser and someone in a game are discussing the Bible. They wrongly misconstrue he is “forcing” his religion by talking to them about it. As if he is somehow forcing them to play, talk, or listen. All games have the option to mute the player’s voice chat.

At the start of every game, he always asks his teammates if they want to talk about the Bible or not. And encourages those in the game who do not want to talk about it, to mute him. Or if no one wants to talk about the Bible, then he does not.

In actuality, DrWitnesser strongly believes in everyone’s free will given to them by God. God does not want to force anyone to worship Him. He gave us all free will. Because of this, no one can be forced to believe one religion or another. Someone might be forced to practice a religion due to bad government laws or cultures. But even then a government law can’t make someone believe something.

Nor does DrWitnesser want to force anyone to talk about the Bible, nor does he have the wish or ability to force someone to believe or practice anything in the Bible. He only wants to talk with people who want to talk about it.

He is a Seventh-day Adventist since 2019. Prior to that he tried many different denominations, searching for one that followed the Bible alone. He tried Presbyterian, Baptist, Bible Baptist. When growing up his family attended Baptist churches and Catholic services.

Yes, he is married. He has been for over 10 years. His wife sometimes visits his streams under the username MrsWitnesser to help moderate chat and answer Bible questions.

He is a stay-at-home dad. She works in digital marketing. The DrWitnesser ministry is not a major source of income. Funds generated by the ministry need to go back into the costs to operate it.

He uses the King James Version and the New King James Version and recommends the KJV for when you need word-for-word Bible translation. As it is based on the most accurate and faithfully preserved translation used by the leaders of the Protestant Reformation. However, because it is in old English and has a high reading level, it can be difficult to understand sometimes. So, the NKJV offers an easier reading while still being a more accurate word-for-word translation as compared to thought for thought or paraphrase translations.

His favorite book in the Bible is John and his favorite verse is 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18.

No, you should not. Even if you intend to do a “friendly” stream-snipe. Most games have rules against this. So he does not encourage it and may report you.
