The following are Bible studies I taught in the Kingdom Citizens class at Second Baptist North (Kingwood, TX) from 2021-2023. The classes followed various Lifeway series.

The earliest classes were taught entirely online as it was still during the pandemic and we were social distancing, and then the classes switched to hybrid. Members of the class that were traveling or that couldn’t make it in to church joined us online and then, later, the Afghans joined us from Pakistan on Zoom.

These Bible studies have been published on my Bright Sheep Ministries YouTube channel; however, I haven’t previously published them on Raised to Walk as they aren’t technically a “series.” We rotated among different class members for the teaching each week and I taught once a month. Not all of the people teaching wanted theirs to be recorded.

However, I am publishing them here now for a number of reasons.

First, some of them are really good and I frequently share the videos. This will make them more easily accessible.

Second, I am publishing the text here as evidence of my work as I know that the content thieves have also stolen the transcripts from these videos.

Third, when everything connected to my phone was hacked in August, the gmail account that the Bright Sheep Ministries YouTube channel was attached to was one of them. I was able to recover control of the Gmail account, but the thieves moved the YouTube channel off of it. The channel and some of public videos are still visible on YouTube, but I don’t have control of the channel. (Yes, I have reported through multiple channels to YouTube and Google to reclaim the channel with no response.)

The public videos are just a fraction of the videos uploaded to the channel. There are many more private and unlisted videos of Bible studies that I did with the Pakistanis and Afghans. I’m not sure what the motivation of the theft is, whether it was just out of petty malice to sabotage yet another one of my efforts, if it was part of the ongoing attempt at identity theft as I share some personal information in some of the videos, or if it was to steal the transcripts of the private videos for additional content to feed the AI model the intellectual property thieves built off my work.^[1] Whatever the reason, it is concerning as those Bible studies were with Christians who are at extremely high risk and one of my Afghan translators had already been outed as a Christian.

Regardless of the reason, I hope you find these Bible studies useful.

^[1] As I document in the Hacked: the Saga series, I discovered that content thieves have stolen everything I have published and produced and built an AI model off of it. Between 2019 to 2023, I was steadily producing Christian content, both Bible studies and book reviews. When I became involved with helping the Afghans, that production slowed.

My understanding from this study is that AI models are heavy data consumers. They output data, but they require a constant flow of incoming data for that output. When an AI model is consuming it’s own previous output rather than new and original input, it can lead to an “irreversible defect” and a “model collapse.”

This was the dilemma the content parasites found themselves in. From what I’ve observed, they built a “Christian” content/PR agency using the AI model they built with my content as the foundation. When the content flow from me shut off … they had a problem and resorted to hacking my devices for unpublished content to keep the AI model alive.
