Hey Destin. I know it's a little late, but I was thinking a bit about what you were saying about not vlogging your family. I fully respect your desire to not do so, but I thought I might just give a couple counter-arguments to your reasons not to... You are certainly right that it can go too far and have negative effects; my wife was a big fan of that "famous vlogging family" you mentioned, and I couldn't help but get attached too, watching over her shoulder. It's terrible what happened with them and it's a good example of basically why trusting in strangers, even ones you think you know, is a bad idea. I also think that the way they did it was borderline exploitative. I guess the desire to vlog also depends a lot on how easily you are put off by comments online... People may say nasty things like they did on that Easter Sunday video and your girl shooting the .22. That said, I think the main argument *for* sharing more personal content is the potential net *good* it could be for many people... As Christians, we talk all the time about living out our faith. Nothing can replace personal interaction but the internet is an effective platform for reaching more people by just living an example and explaining why we are the way we are. Many people don't have great social environments or are just hungry for sincere and effective living, and that's one of the things that draws people to you, I would say. Vloggers may exploit those needs by giving people tons of content portraying a "perfect family," to obsess over, and that's not healthy for anyone. But I think there's a better and more effective way to do it... not one that leaves you sad about your own condition but makes you inspired to improve yourself. I believe you are capable making such an influence, even as you are showing people that rednecks can learn some cool science stuff too. ;) As far as influence on your kids is concerned, I think a casual approach; not daily videos, but like you have with the videos you share now; could potentially help your kids understand the societal influence of the internet without it become a force of peer pressure, like you mentioned. I believe that it, like homeschooling, is something that if done right, could be a good learning experience. I wouldn't want you to film and share more of your family simply out from being pressured to please others, but I think there's significant net gain in doing so. Your *personal* influence, not just your professional one, is your greatest legacy. I know that I for one am not just made happier by your personal content, but also inspired, to a degree. Sincerely, A potentially selfishly-motivated Canadian brother in Christ. ;) P.S. Please check your "message requests" on Facebook... Had something to share about "The Veldt."
Matt, your point at 6:30 about Paul's beheading and why he's typically depicted with a sword reminds me of a comment I heard from a Roman Catholic priest. He explained that Paul is often depicted with a sword pointed toward the ground because it shows his repentance from being a persecutor to a defender of the faith. Thank you for putting together this video. It was fascinating and I enjoyed it!
Just finished watching your ENTIRE Acts series. I need a nap. Seriously, your hours and hours of study and video making have been fruitful in my time with God over the last few months. Can't pay you a higher compliment than that. Thank you. -Mom
Been watching since Destin first recommended the channel a good while back, often very late at night when my kiddo with special needs needed a travelling buddy in life from midnight to 6am so I didn't comment much. I just went through and binged watched the lot over a few weeks. It was amazing to see you develop as a content creator. I love your content and the way you present it. I appreciate the way you don't talk down to your audience but you don't downplay your own knowledge either. I feel comfortable recommending your channel to a lot of people in my life from very diverse walks knowing that you will present scripture well, respecting the document and the viewer. There is exactly one other channel that creates Bible content that I feel as comfortable recommending to a diverse crowd (The Bible Project) and you are more appealing and accessible to a lot of my non-christian and non-academic friends. You are absolutely nailing it in your new series. I can see how God is using a lot of the different elements of your personality and history and knowledge (that you have generously shared here and on the podcast) to work through you and create something pretty cool that furthers his kingdom. Thanks for letting God use you to encourage a tired Mum from downunder and reach out to the delightfully snarky uni student, history nerd middle-aged atheiest or questioning high schooler on her Facebook friends list.
Something I love about RUclips is how it opens up worlds that I would never get into. I love Paul's story and have often wondered about his end and such., but would not have known where to start searching... thanks.
I just discovered your channel and watched a couple of episodes. Congratulations! I particularly like your ecumenical approach, which I believe is so important nowadays. As a Roman Catholic I really enjoyed this episode (of course), but also the one with the Orthodox Church. What you are doing is great work!
The Ten Minute Bible Hour Wonderful initiative! Forgot to mention, that I am writing from Austria, and that I have a great deal of relatives that are Lutherans, and for the most part (there is is always the exception) we enjoy looking and finding the common ground rather than the differences. I believe that in times like these, where Christianity and Christians are being so hardly persecuted, is where we most need inspiring people like you. God bless.
I like your honest Christian skeptic approach with bad jokes. I'm just teasing your jokes are great! Thanks for all the hard work. Really enjoyed your videos. If you ever in South Africa let me know!
What a great video! Love the passion, effort, and diligence you put into these videos. It has spurred and reawakened a strong desire to study church history within me. Look forward to your next one!
Wow, nice job man. I can't put it in words, but there's a difference between watching a documentary and seeing a video about a friend's trip and sharing the emotion. Your expertise on the subject was more than I'd expect from the History Channel, but you communicated the emotion in those places as if I was right there. I could even smell that prison! I trust your judgement as to the validity in these places, and I'm glad you interjected your thoughts/ opinions on everything. I love (and share) your skeptical spirit. It gives you credibility. Yes, its 4am here. Haven't slept since the NDQ podcast. Keeping an eye out for your tall, dark, friend with the long fingers.
Wow, it's so amazing that we know where Paul was when he wrote down the word of God! I was moved by seeing them through a video; I can't imagine what it was like standing there!
Thank you for indulging me, but seriously though man, great job. Also, I shared your last podcast with my discipler because of how freaking incredible, see what I did there, it is and how good it is for a starting point for serious spiritual conversation. Keep doing what you are doing, it is all incredible work!
+Logan Beck That means a lot Logan. I'm glad you responded that way to the last episode of the Podcast. I feel like it has value as a starting point for that conversation as well. Strange way to come at it true, but hopefully useful.
I absolutely love all of the symbolism found throughout the structure of St. Paul Outside the Walls. Some of the telltale signs of who is who on the pedestals, why there is a missing statue, the fresco above, etc.
that was a whirlwind video tour... Kind of wish it was longer. It is kind of weird to think of how all those old places are now below ground level. Thanks for the work, Matt! -- not your mom either. Blame Destin, he brought me.
About the time you wrote this comment, I got a chance to take a trip to Israel. I felt like I was on a whirlwind tour and , in a way, his short video is like experiencing a trip like this. You're always in a hurry. It makes me think of the transfigureation and how they wanted to make tents to stay in, to prolong the mountain-top experience.
Thanks for the opportunity to live vicariously through you. Seeing those places first hand must have felt wild. Reminds me of an awesome semi-fictional book I wonder if you've read; Chasing Francis? I feel like you'd enjoy it.
I've been driving a tractor a lot lately. So I binged the whole _No Dumb Questions_ podcast. Now it feels really weird, like you me and Destin are good friends, only you don't know me. This video is great. You're like a less dorky, more spiritual version of Rick Steves.
Just finished the book of Luke-Acts and I feel like I've never read the Bible before (even though I've heard/read it in bits and pieces all my life). I never realized how the Bible trails off with Paul's story before. One question that maybe you can answer is did Dr Luke travel with him and if so, why didn't he mention himself explicitly? Was that literary tradition? Thanks for all your videos! They help me see the Bible clearer.
Nice! Well worth the wait. Never seen footage from the Via Appia Antica road before, actually from most the places you went in that video. Great format. Would be nice to see other parts of history done in that format, I don't know, say... Chicago? :-)
When I saw the introduction to this film I thought to myself “wow this sounds like “Smarter Everyday” ... then I see a sticky note from Mr. Smartereveryday!! Well played.
Great video man!! I would be curious if you did a video on Catholic relics and which ones you think are true vs false and a why or why not on them. I'm Catholic and believe in a lot of relics but I do take some with a grain of salt so I would love to see your insight.
Dang, you knocked this video out of the park. "still cool that this is the spot that he died even if there was slight exaggeration about head fountains." Must, be, a, shirt!!!!! LOL :)
Sword theory: Christianity is represented by the cross, which was the item of Christ's earthly death. Since Christianity is represented symbolically by worldly objects that represent the overcoming of a worldly event, it only makes sense that Paul is depicted with a sword. May be obvious/weird observation, but I figured I'd throw my two cents in.
+John Sibok That's a good thought. I think you're on to something. Certainly there is a defiance in depicting Paul carrying the instrument of his death.
First time checking out your videos from the NDQ podcast. Neat stuff, Matt! I was wondering, would you consider linking or referencing the non-biblical sources for the information?
Thanks Nathan! I've already filmed a follow up video that goes into greater detail on this story (and that includes sources). When I post that, I'll include a little Internet bibliography.
Hey Matt, you were in good company at the Basilica, Paul wasn't a Catholic either. Thanks for all your videos,they are witty educational and very watchable.
Thanks! This was really interesting, though now I have to do a lot more research because I... have no idea what other important/influential things this Paul did. I felt very under-prepared watching this :P Off to the google machine!
An interesting fact. Roman prisoners were not fed, and had to rely on family or friends to pay/provide their food. In Paul's case, it was donations from the Phillipians that kept him fed and watered during his captivity.
Very cool. Thanks for sharing this. :) Side-note: I like your Wyoming t-shirt. Though as always, I can't help but see the eye-sore that is the seal right in the middle. Wyoming's flag flirts with greatness, only to fall at the final hurdle. Still one of the better state flags, though.
The sword of St Paul in images and statues are the symbol of his past life as killing christian, and turn back to Jesus, not because he executed by sword (Correction)
Paul didn't write the letter to Timothy in that location because almost CERTAINLY was NOT the author of the Epistles to Timothy. The vast majority of NT scholars reject that the pastoral epistles were written by Paul.
Learn about Eucharistic Miracles please make a video about it from your point of view. You can look up the eucharistic miracle of Lanciano, Italy or look up Dr. Ricardo Castanon who was a mexican atheist neuroscientist and psychologist i believe that converted to Christianity because of his studies.
Can you do one on Marcion editing Paul's texts, James rebuttal of Paul, or Paul's change from hunting Christians to becoming one all after the death of Jesus.
The existence of Paul has long been disputed. Justin Martyr who wrote thousands of pages about The Early Christians and who lived at the same era,never mentions Paul´s name. The translators of the King James Bible saw inconstancies and made extensive notations as to the correct chain of custody citing that actually the letters are nothing but preachments of doctrine. What handwriting expert has certified these documents? Many early christian scholars have long doubted the reality including the famous Terrullian. If Paul was executed in Rome, why is there not a death warrant signed my the them emperor in national the archives?
"Okay you're not dumb. These relics and claims of things that have to do with saints, especially from the First Century AD, don't hold up under scrutiny." I guess I'm dumb.

You got this video right.
I will share it.
Hey Destin.
I know it's a little late, but I was thinking a bit about what you were saying about not vlogging your family. I fully respect your desire to not do so, but I thought I might just give a couple counter-arguments to your reasons not to...
You are certainly right that it can go too far and have negative effects; my wife was a big fan of that "famous vlogging family" you mentioned, and I couldn't help but get attached too, watching over her shoulder. It's terrible what happened with them and it's a good example of basically why trusting in strangers, even ones you think you know, is a bad idea. I also think that the way they did it was borderline exploitative.
I guess the desire to vlog also depends a lot on how easily you are put off by comments online... People may say nasty things like they did on that Easter Sunday video and your girl shooting the .22.
That said, I think the main argument *for* sharing more personal content is the potential net *good* it could be for many people... As Christians, we talk all the time about living out our faith. Nothing can replace personal interaction but the internet is an effective platform for reaching more people by just living an example and explaining why we are the way we are.
Many people don't have great social environments or are just hungry for sincere and effective living, and that's one of the things that draws people to you, I would say. Vloggers may exploit those needs by giving people tons of content portraying a "perfect family," to obsess over, and that's not healthy for anyone. But I think there's a better and more effective way to do it... not one that leaves you sad about your own condition but makes you inspired to improve yourself. I believe you are capable making such an influence, even as you are showing people that rednecks can learn some cool science stuff too. ;)
As far as influence on your kids is concerned, I think a casual approach; not daily videos, but like you have with the videos you share now; could potentially help your kids understand the societal influence of the internet without it become a force of peer pressure, like you mentioned. I believe that it, like homeschooling, is something that if done right, could be a good learning experience.
I wouldn't want you to film and share more of your family simply out from being pressured to please others, but I think there's significant net gain in doing so. Your *personal* influence, not just your professional one, is your greatest legacy. I know that I for one am not just made happier by your personal content, but also inspired, to a degree.
Sincerely,
A potentially selfishly-motivated Canadian brother in Christ. ;)
P.S. Please check your "message requests" on Facebook... Had something to share about "The Veldt."
You got this comment right.
I will like it.
Marry me!

Thanks for all your hard work. You always so upbeat and fair with things. I really enjoy your channel

This comment means a lot Jessica. Thanks for being willing to put your name next to mine, and thanks for the encouragement.
Something I love about RUclips is how it opens up worlds that I would never get into. I love Paul's story and have often wondered about his end and such., but would not have known where to start searching... thanks.
Love this video man. We were recently in Efos in Turkey and the sensation we got there from the forum he was thrown out of was incredible!
That was so coo! Seeing the place where Paul wrote to Timothy was also moving for me. Thank you for making this and sharing it with us!
Triple A+ on this video, Matt! Your best production to date! This really makes me want to visit Rome!
I just discovered your channel and watched a couple of episodes. Congratulations! I particularly like your ecumenical approach, which I believe is so important nowadays. As a Roman Catholic I really enjoyed this episode (of course), but also the one with the Orthodox Church. What you are doing is great work!
Thanks very much Alex. I certainly have a perspective on all this, but I want to do a good job of representing other traditions amongst Christians.
The Ten Minute Bible Hour Wonderful initiative!

I do get to S.A. from time to time - beautiful country! Glad you resonate with a healthy degree of skepticism.
What a great video! Love the passion, effort, and diligence you put into these videos. It has spurred and reawakened a strong desire to study church history within me.
Look forward to your next one!
Excellent job Matt!
Powerful. I mean, I've already watched this video three times, I'm now going to share it.
Good day, Sir. :)
God bless you Sir! Thank you so much for sharing this video for everyone.

There were details in the room that helped me understand the tone and content of 2 Timothy way better - moving indeed.
Awesome work dude. First video I've watched ever since I got directed to you by smarter every day and I love this channel already! God Bless!
Well done sir. Can't wait to see what you do next!
I love your energy and more importantly your down-to-earth/ realistic viewpoint. Thanks for sharing!!!
--Mom
This video is pretty balanced, it deserves at least 500,000 views.
Deine Videos sind der Hammer, weiter so, sehr schön das du dir die Arbeit machst, bzw dich auf diese Reise gemacht hast.
Danke
Matt you did a wonderful job on this video and your new logo looks amazing! Great work honey!
+Logan Beck making you and dad proud is all I really care about mom.

This is great! I travel international a lot, and never had the opportunity to scrutinize many of these locations in Rome. Thanks for doing this, Matt!
Holy wow! That was a good video.
Gracias Charlie!
Thanks for making the effort Matt. Yup, real people, real places, real times.
Thanks for sharing your trip and your thoughts. It was nice to see those influential places where his letters were written.
Great video Matt...really appreciate these!
YES! This needs to be shared. And caught the awesome logo at the end!!
I absolutely love all of the symbolism found throughout the structure of St. Paul Outside the Walls. Some of the telltale signs of who is who on the pedestals, why there is a missing statue, the fresco above, etc.
Great video, Matt. (And I love the new branding.)
Great job Pastor Matt. It's nothing like what I had imagined all these years.
Glad I was able to get smartereveryday here. Video was super interesting, i'll be sure to check out your other videos
I see what you did there :) Thanks!
that was a whirlwind video tour... Kind of wish it was longer.
It is kind of weird to think of how all those old places are now below ground level. Thanks for the work, Matt!

That was amazing! So well done!
Thanks, and thanks also for being here since basically the beginning Chris.
Awesome video man, and I promise I'm not your mom.
+Joshua Canova You can't fool me mom. Thank you so much I love you.
Back at you bro!
Did I use those words correctly?
Nailed it.
Just finished acts and reading up on Saint Paul More is very compelling. Much respect.
Wow loved the video, I am on my way to visit Rome and these places are now getting definite visit.
Glad to see more about your Rome trip. Book Suggestion: "The Internet is a Playground" by: David Thorne - Seems like something you would enjoy.
Nice! Well worth the wait. Never seen footage from the Via Appia Antica road before, actually from most the places you went in that video. Great format. Would be nice to see other parts of history done in that format, I don't know, say... Chicago? :-)
Excellent. Short condensed yet factual!
Awesome trip you had here. Thank you for sharing with the tripless :)
Bless
"... on this spot". Mind blown. Okay, you get a subscribe! Awesome video!
Thanks for sharing this video brother.... Good information.... God bless you brother 🤝🤝🤝
When I saw the introduction to this film I thought to myself “wow this sounds like “Smarter Everyday” ... then I see a sticky note from Mr. Smartereveryday!! Well played.
Destin brought me here. Glad he shared y our content. God bless you. I needed this video today.
Great video!!! Thanx so much for all the detail.
You bet Mark - thanks for checking it out.
Great video man!! I would be curious if you did a video on Catholic relics and which ones you think are true vs false and a why or why not on them. I'm Catholic and believe in a lot of relics but I do take some with a grain of salt so I would love to see your insight.
awesome video!
Nice new logo. You should do a podcast about branding or something. ;)
+Crypto Conservative lol. Well played (and I'm glad you dig the logo).
The second prison seemed pretty empty. Is that spot not well known enough to really attract visitors?
I've been to Rome 8 times, and this was the first time I even thought to look for it.
Dang, you knocked this video out of the park.
"still cool that this is the spot that he died even if there was slight exaggeration about head fountains." Must, be, a, shirt!!!!! LOL :)
This was awesome!! Subbed!!
Sword theory: Christianity is represented by the cross, which was the item of Christ's earthly death. Since Christianity is represented symbolically by worldly objects that represent the overcoming of a worldly event, it only makes sense that Paul is depicted with a sword. May be obvious/weird observation, but I figured I'd throw my two cents in.
Alex Rosenberg this actually makes a whole lot of sense.
+John Sibok That's a good thought. I think you're on to something. Certainly there is a defiance in depicting Paul carrying the instrument of his death.
how about the fact that Paul is the author of a good part of the NT, and the word of God is the Sword of Truth.
David Taylor I didn't think about that, but it could definitely be tied to those Ephesians verses! Good thinking.
Maybe he confiscated it from Simon Peter. :)
Have you posted a "Places to visit when in Rome" list somewhere?
First time checking out your videos from the NDQ podcast. Neat stuff, Matt!
I was wondering, would you consider linking or referencing the non-biblical sources for the information?
Thanks Nathan!
I've already filmed a follow up video that goes into greater detail on this story (and that includes sources). When I post that, I'll include a little Internet bibliography.
Thanks Matt. Absolutely cool.
Thanks to Destin for sending me here. Subscribed.
Love this tour!
Awesome video. Keep it up! :)
This video was awesome!
+Christian Cestona I'm really glad you liked it Christian.
Hey Matt, you were in good company at the Basilica, Paul wasn't a Catholic either.
Thanks for all your videos,they are witty educational and very watchable.
Impressive and cool idea for a video. Thanks!
Thanks! This was really interesting, though now I have to do a lot more research because I... have no idea what other important/influential things this Paul did. I felt very under-prepared watching this :P Off to the google machine!
Well, bravo Matt, great vid
Now Rome is on my bucket list twice
awesome video
An interesting fact. Roman prisoners were not fed, and had to rely on family or friends to pay/provide their food. In Paul's case, it was donations from the Phillipians that kept him fed and watered during his captivity.
Whats up with the sound? Anyway: good video!
Very cool. Thanks for sharing this. :)
Side-note: I like your Wyoming t-shirt. Though as always, I can't help but see the eye-sore that is the seal right in the middle. Wyoming's flag flirts with greatness, only to fall at the final hurdle. Still one of the better state flags, though.
I'm seeing more and more Wyoming logo stuff that leaves the seal off. I like those better too.
The sword of St Paul in images and statues are the symbol of his past life as killing christian, and turn back to Jesus, not because he executed by sword (Correction)
So, what happens when Paul walks out of there soon? Story continues for shure. Tourism is definently going to take a hit. Great vid.
Does anyone know what was playing in the background at the beginning of the visit to Saint Paul's burial site?
I think it was something by Nelson or Firehouse. I always get them confused.
Study St. Thomas Aquinas
Paul didn't write the letter to Timothy in that location because almost CERTAINLY was NOT the author of the Epistles to Timothy. The vast majority of NT scholars reject that the pastoral epistles were written by Paul.
I wish I had gone to St Paul's outside the Walls when I was in Rome 😩
Learn about Eucharistic Miracles please make a video about it from your point of view. You can look up the eucharistic miracle of Lanciano, Italy or look up Dr. Ricardo Castanon who was a mexican atheist neuroscientist and psychologist i believe that converted to Christianity because of his studies.
I might never reach Rome or the Holy Land. Thank you for sharing... 😇
Awesome 👍😊
Can you do one on Marcion editing Paul's texts, James rebuttal of Paul, or Paul's change from hunting Christians to becoming one all after the death of Jesus.
Nero neither blamed the fire on Christians or persecuted them, there is little evidence of any Christians in Rome at that period.
We just got back from there. Crazy traffic.
The existence of Paul has long been disputed. Justin Martyr who wrote thousands of pages about The Early Christians and who lived at the same era,never mentions Paul´s name. The translators of the King James Bible saw inconstancies and made extensive notations as to the correct chain of custody citing that actually the letters are nothing but preachments of doctrine. What handwriting expert has certified these documents? Many early christian scholars have long doubted the reality including the famous Terrullian. If Paul was executed in Rome, why is there not a death warrant signed my the them emperor in national the archives?
So, you're saying Paul was the inspiration for Rand's "The Fountainhead"? That's definitely the point of this video, right?
I love you man!
Awesome
Fantastic
Please…where did you get the facts that Paul was beheaded and buried it’s not in the Bible
It's doubtful that Paul was ever in Rome.
excellent vid! Thanks for sharing. Maybe your brother, definitely not your mom either.
sir i am learning for first =speak slowly - did romans give food to prisoners ?
That was cool.
"Okay you're not dumb. These relics and claims of things that have to do with saints, especially from the First Century AD, don't hold up under scrutiny."
I guess I'm dumb.
Just added pretty much all of those places to my bucket list #notyourmum
