The one where the Christian filmmaker gets death threats (Episode 20)
Josh Doyle is a natural-born adventurer. He’s done everything from lead camping trips in the Middle East to spending a week fishing in the remote Alaskan wilderness. But his greatest adventure has been starting a viral YouTube channel that has amassed millions of views and followers.
It’s also, you could say, his stupidest decision.
Why? Because the point of the YouTube channel—I Found the Truth (https://www.youtube.com/@IFoundTheTruth)— is to bring the hope of Jesus to the Muslim world. And that has been nearly as dangerous as it has been successful when you consider the death threats he has received.
On the final episode of season two of the That Was Stupid podcast, we talk to Josh about the YouTube channel, what led him to start it, and how he’s navigating the real danger of keeping it going. The conversation also reveals the miraculous experiences of individuals who have had dreams about Jesus, the challenges and backlash they've faced in sharing these stories, and the future plans for the organization.
You’ll also hear how you can help continue the mission and partner with Josh and his team on bringing the hope of Jesus to the Muslim world.
