James, brother of Jesus
The New Testament, on its own terms

The God of Jesus was always love. The humans got the picture wrong.

For two thousand years, Christians have defended a God who drowned the world. Jesus never would have — that's the problem.

The God Jesus called "Father" was always the God of Abraham — but Abraham did not pray to the God of Jesus. The divine reality was always love. The humans got the picture wrong for thousands of years until someone, fully realized, showed up to correct it.

This channel teaches the New Testament on its own terms — narrated by an AI character we call James, his brother. Faceless. Honest. Not for sale to any political tribe.

For Christians, former Christians, and anyone seeking freedom from fear and a deeper understanding of God.

What we do

Five interlocking series, one thread: love without precondition.

NT Only runs five interlocking series: a wedge case for separating the two pictures of God across the Testaments, a chronicle of every recoverable week of Jesus's three-year ministry, a study of his lost years through the gnostic gospels, a season covering the twenty days between resurrection and ascension, and a children's cartoon teaching the same wisdom through young Jesus's friendships.

"He gave everything he owned. He lived in abundance, not scarcity. He wished harm on no one. He forgave thieves and prostitutes. He included Samaritans, Romans, Gentiles. He healed and taught. No one in recorded history came closer to embodied love."

We are not against Christianity. We are against the inheritance of a tribal, vengeful, conquest-justifying portrait of God that two millennia of preachers handed down without examination. The God was always love. The humans got the picture wrong for thousands of years. Jesus came to correct it.

Three recurring voices

Meet the voices

Each episode is a teaching conversation. Three recurring voices — one guide, two friends still working their way through the hardest questions in the faith.

Portrait of James, the brother of Jesus, mid-40s Mediterranean man with salt-and-pepper beard in plain linen

James

the calm guide

Grounded in compassion, forgiveness, and the teachings of his brother. The one who finally says plainly what most teachers will only hint at — and then sits with you while it lands.

Portrait of Eli, late-twenties Mediterranean man with dark curly hair and a beard, leaning against an ancient doorway in golden afternoon light

Eli

the questioning disciple

Logical, conflicted, and searching for truth without flinching. The friend who asks "wait — that doesn't add up" out loud so the rest of us can finally stop pretending it does. Debuts in Episode 3.

Portrait of Miriam, late-twenties Mediterranean woman with dark hair in a soft brown wrap, seated against weathered stone in golden afternoon light

Miriam

the emotional heart

Sensitive to suffering, mercy, and what love should actually look like in a body. The friend who voices what the rest of us were taught to ignore. Debuts in Episode 1.

Those Jesus called blessed

The mission, eventually.

What good is teaching love if it stays words? When this channel earns enough through Patreon and supporters to do more than cover production, the surplus goes to those Jesus called blessed — the poor, the helpless, the sick, and the ones who stay grateful and optimistic despite how evil the world can be. The "unchosen" by the world, always chosen by him.

We're not there yet. The mission page describes the vision; the live giving will happen once we have something to give. Until then, Patreon support keeps the channel running.

He gave everything he owned. He wished harm on no one. He forgave thieves and prostitutes, and included Samaritans, Romans, Gentiles. There is a piece of God in him — and in everyone, and in everything. That is the gospel we read here.
