Why I Shut Down My YouTube Channel
The latest in the ongong saga of being targeted by former “friends” from Houston Christian University and An Unexpected Journal
🔴 Streamed: Sunday, September 20th
I started my RasedtoWalkTV YouTube channel in 2013, just a few months after I launched this website. The earliest video on the site was an unlisted video of of Amy Silva speaking at the memorial for her son, Jake – a sophomore at Kingwood Park High School. Whether public or not, the videos on the channel have always been about community and the church.
The first videos on the channel were recordings of the choir at my church, Second Baptist in Kingwood, Texas. Later, I created scripture videos, such as those to accompany my Reading through the Psalms series. In 2019, I began putlishing Bible studies and book reviews on a regular basis. This lead to a ministry opportunty to teach Bible studies via Zoom to Pakistani and Afghan Christians.
Both my publishing for my ministry and the outreach in Pakistan came to a stop when I began to be hacked, stalked, and threatened by what were then anonymous accounts in December 2023. It was not too long before I began to discover the people hiding behind the digital masks. The masks were not only digital. The attackers included Phl Tallon, the Dean of the School of Christian Thought at Houston Christian University, and the people I had considered friends, fellow graduates from the apologetics program from which I graduated and fellow board members from An Unexpected Journal.
Their attacks have been so continuous, outrageous, and egregious that even though I have published approaching 100 updates in the “Hacked: the Saga” series, it does not even begin to cover the extent of their vile actions over the past three years. But what is even more egregious is the complete lack of response from any one of the multiple authorities and agencies I have reported these crimes and assaults to.
So I turned off all the Raised to Walk videos.
All except for the “Hacked: the Saga” updates. It is the Raised to Walk Christian content that they have sent wave after wave of attacks against me in order to try to regan control. The channel had been hijacked into a YouTube multi-channel network, which allowed them not only more control over my videos than I have myself, but the ability to steal wachtime and subscribers from my channel and it is apparently important enough to them that some of them literally came across country to stalk and direct the sabotage against me in person.
If you want to see historical videos, many of them are on Odysee. For the foreseeable future, my efforts wlll be directed towards the “Hacked: the Saga” updates. Subscribe on the new channel.for Hacked: the Saga and my books are available through Efusion Media Group

Available Bible Studies
Just like the Israelites, we will encounter some giants. Circumstances that seem to make God a liar. The corruption will seem too great, the addiction too strong, or the diagnosis too dire. When the giant you are facing seems too big for God to handle, remember this . . . Jesus was dead. He had been in the grave for three days. When it seemed like it was all over, God proved His power and won the ultimate victory.
