About New Testament Only
What we are
A faceless content channel and forthcoming book imprint correcting two millennia of inherited misreadings of Jesus. We publish on YouTube, podcast platforms, and through print-on-demand books. Free to consume, supported by Patreon and supporters.
Faceless rule
The founder's name, face, and bio do not appear on this channel. Not as a gimmick — as a discipline. The work is not about the person making it. It is about Jesus, his teaching, and the people his teaching was for.
For legal and tax purposes, the founder is identifiable to the IRS, to Patreon, to Stripe, and to any law-enforcement or regulatory body with cause. The faceless rule applies to the public-facing brand, not to the legal entity.
AI tooling transparency
We use AI tools in production:
- Anthropic Claude — script drafting, council review, theology editing
- ElevenLabs — voice rendering for James
- fal.ai — B-roll video and the canonical James portrait
- ffmpeg + custom Python pipeline — assembly, Shorts cuts, podcast audio extract
Every episode is overseen by humans. The thesis, the doctrinal stance, the founding genesis — all human-authored. AI tools execute production at low cost so the channel can scale without compromising on quality or selling out to advertisers.
The 18-member council
Every script is reviewed by 18 specialist personas before any production spend: NT scholars, biblical Greek experts, a gnostic specialist, a Reformed/Orthodox critic (for adversarial review), a faceless YouTube strategist, a viral hook specialist, a cinematographer, a brand strategist, performance marketer, YouTube algorithm engineer, community manager, audience psychology expert, devil's advocate skeptic, NT-Only non-apologist watchdog, and a producer-director lens. The council catches factual landmines, deplatform risks, and doctrinal drift before episodes reach production.
How we are funded
- Patreon — recurring monthly support, primary revenue source. One-time pledges also available there.
- YouTube ad revenue — once the channel reaches monetization eligibility
- Book sales — print-on-demand via Lulu, distributed through Amazon and Apple Books
- Digital book sales — direct via Lemon Squeezy for ebook and study-pack purchases
Production costs come out first. Surplus eventually goes to the mission fund.

Viewer feedback: YouTube comments, please. We read them.
We are not pretending to have all the answers. We are pretending less than the people who preached two thousand years of distortion.
