I only found your channel about 3 months ago. I was looking for some guidance on studying the book of Acts. After watching the first video I was hooked! Matt you are my favorite teacher EVER! Yes, I am a 60 year old women who gets excited to watch your video's. I have really enjoyed learning the book of Acts through your intelligent and entertaining knowledge. Thanks for making it so fun!

“So the story kind of ends abrupt...” CLASSIC. That’s a beautiful edit Matt!

I love lessening to your stile of teaching. You tell the story and you tell it right. I'm a Sunday school teacher.(Senior Adults). From 50 to 70 years Young. I told them I wasn't a teacher but a presenter of the Word. They still wanted me a n their class. So your helping help them. Thank you. And I will tell everyone of your work.

I really appreciate that you teach the history behind the bible. It is always interesting to learn what was going on in the world during the biblical time and I truly think it helps us understand the bible that much more. Thank you for instilling your knowledge of history into your lessons. I look forward to all of them.

I have a firm belief that theology and the bible should always be studied with the historical context in mind. We miss so much meaning and add in our own if we remove it from the context in which it was created for. I'm so glad that someone sent me your video!

😮I’m SO blessed to have found you! I LOVE YOUR TEACHING METHODOLOGY Thank you for glorifying Gods word in English🙏💕😇🙃❤️

Here I am, finished all NDQ on Spotify i need to have more things to listen to. Hi Matt, English is not my first language and listening to you certainly improve my skill to a certain level, like describing more things in a sentence. Just want to say thank you and will start listening to all your videos!

[cherriemcburney]

LOVE this! Concise, interesting, factual, interesting - way to rock the Book of Acts in brief without compromising truth or value! #Newfan

This is great. Your professorial abilities are shining brightly in these videos. God bless you and yours, sir.

Marvel superhero link is my favorite! 
Your paired use of a non-intimidating translation of Bible things accompanied by wonderfully relatable, "common ground!" film images (Acts Part 1) both cracks me up AND makes me want to keep watching. Even though I’ve been clinging to the Bible since I was a child, I inhale inviting approaches to The Book (such as this series) and exhale sighs of relief when I encounter them. They confirm in me the legitimacy of my desire to see well-done, creatively unique, and useful stopping places for Christian artists and teachers of all kinds! Yay!!!! We are collectively “out there” even if we don’t know each other exists. Furthermore, your production efforts may just be the ticket I can share with my non-biblically inclined friends when they want to satisfy their Bible curiosity. Your work is non-threatening or pushy! Thanks!!!!  
Only critique is difficulty with audio on some (Part 2 Gamaliel) and your 10 minute segments have lots of content! You certainly aren’t chintzy with your info  Maybe do 5 minute briefer bits for those just scrolling by? Little teaser bits?

[jkbester]

Love what you are doing Matt! I am excited for the rest of your videos and I have decided to make this a part of my morning Worship session. My plan is to watch 1 video for 7 days and only then move on to the next video. This way I meditate more on what is said. Keep up the good work. Blessing!

Excellent historical information as it pertains to the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and the early day history of the church.

[ruthnicholls]

Sad to say, 10 minutes a day was a dreaw for me. 
But your vid on the Bible is great! You give the back drop for the coming of Yeshuah Mashiach and really why the Jewish people were looking for someone to free the from the Romans, not from their nature of rebellion!

I'll be linking these as I view them on several sites.
Thanks so much for taking the time to do these.
You're right, this should appeal to those who don't understand the Christian faith.

So glad I found this channel. I was sent here from smarter every day.
