Yes, he operates a personal ministry. However, he does not affiliate with any other organization.

The Faithful Sheriff was formerly known as DrWitnesser until he got turned into a peanut. Even so, he remains the original eSports evangelist. He still enters games to actively spread the Gospel.

He streams live from Monday through Friday, 3 PM to 7 PM EST.

He primarily live streams on Twitch and YouTube.

In addition, you can catch every moment by following him on TikTok, Instagram, and X (Twitter) for new content and live alerts.

Yes, he is real. He is a serious Christian content creator and streamer, and he takes his mission to spread the Gospel in games seriously.

However, some viewers debate the satirical nature of his peanut persona. Even so, he aims to entertain and make others laugh while answering Bible questions.

In addition, he recognizes that many people liked the DrWitnesser black shirt and orange tie. Still, he enjoys being part of the “peanut race” and prefers streaming as a vtuber, where he can make expressive and silly reactions while interacting with his squadmates.

As for trolling, he occasionally turns the tables and trolls his trollers. Adopting their chud and farts for himself.

Yes, of course everyone is welcome to join the Faithful Deputies and watch his content.

However, he asks all viewers to remain respectful in chat and treat others with kindness.

He used to be a heavily invested online gamer. Doing hard-core MMORPG raids and professional live streaming.

However, he stopped hard core gaming and playing certain games after being saved.

He felt that the gaming community he came from needed to hear the Word. As a result, he chose to return to that space and share the Gospel where he felt called to go.

He also plays other online games, including Call of Duty: Warzone, Modern Warfare 3, Sea of Thieves, Overwatch, Apex Legends, Valorant, and Arc Raiders. However, he plays them less frequently.

Primarily, he chooses Fortnite because he feels the most familiar and comfortable with it while witnessing. As a result, he can multitask more effectively without sacrificing gameplay.

In addition, Fortnite is the most requested and watched game among his viewers, and he regularly polls them to decide what to play.

Moreover, Fortnite provides strong features for playing with others, especially built-in voice chat and team-based modes. While other games offer similar systems, they often have fewer players using microphones or matches that feel too short or too intense for meaningful conversations.

Ultimately, if more viewers supported other games like Arc Raiders, he would likely shift his focus.

Fortnite, Arc Raiders, and Overwatch.

He plays on NA East usually.

No, please don’t. Even if you intend to do a “friendly” stream-snipe. Most games have rules against this. So he does not encourage it and may report you.

In a epic battle of biblical proportions with “He who shall not be named”, who used his dark and mysterious ways to turn DrWitnesser into a peanut…

In the following days, DrWitnesser struggled against this transformation, fighting it off, but ultimately the inner Bungulator was winning…

After a week of no luck with trying to get “He who shall no be named” to reverse this monstrosity of a transformation, it was to no avail… DrWitnesser would remain a peanut FOREVER…

Now everything that was DrWitnesser is DEAD. Waking up the next morning with no memory of his past life, he takes up the mantle of The Faithful Sheriff!

The only thing in which he remembers is his burning passion to tell everyone about the gospel message of Jesus throughout the gaming world…

Now, with his Posse, and his Faithful Deputies, he dedicates his life to spread the good news of the Lord…but will he run across “He who shall not be named” again one day? Only time will tell…

Yes, he does have a discord server for The Faithful Deputies.

Why indeed.

This is often a loaded question or accusation by anti-Christian trolls online. Perpetuating hate. People often see clips and highlights from his live streams of just funny parts of a witnessing conversation. Where the Sheriff and someone in a game are discussing the Bible. They wrongly misconstrue he is “forcing” his religion by talking to them about it. As if he is somehow forcing them to play, talk, or listen. All games have the option to mute the player’s voice chat.

At the start of every game, he always tries to asks his teammates if they want to talk about the Bible or not. And encourages those in the game who do not want to talk about it, to mute him. Or if no one wants to talk about the Bible, then he does not.

In actuality, The Faithful Sheriff strongly believes in everyone’s free will given to them by God. God does not want to force anyone to worship Him. He gave us all free will. Because of this, no one can be forced to believe one religion or another. Someone might be forced to practice a religion due to bad government laws or cultures. But even then a government law can’t make someone believe something.

Nor does he want to force anyone to talk about the Bible, nor does he have the wish or ability to force someone to believe or practice anything in the Bible. He only wants to talk with people who want to talk about it.

His goal is to plant a seed. Or if people have Bible questions, help answer them.

Absolutely not. Some anti-Christian haters and trolls claim that since Fortnite is a kids game, and because that is where he primarily witnesses on, they make this false claim. Which is a sad ridiculous attempt at cancel culture with lies.

Fortnite is officially rated T for Teens 13+ with over 60% of players age 18-24. A lot may be younger and lie about their age to get access. But even most do, that leaves about 30 million monthly active adult users. Many adults also use voice changers to pretend to be a kid or girl.

In actuality, he prefers and wants to witness to adults. He has stated this many times, and most of his interactions are with adults.

If he does get put into a squad with what sounds like kids, AND if they say they are okay talking about Jesus, he uses a watered down Sunday school version of witnessing.

It is intended for an 18+ audience.

His channel clearly states that while he will not swear, he often runs into adults in Fortnite who say inappropriate things or are like a cussing sailor. Anti-Christians and trolls will also say inappropriate things in chat, that sometimes get past auto mod and seen before moderators can delete it.

And so children should not watch his content or live streams. He has stated previously that he advices parents to not let their kids play Fortnite or any online games unsupervised.

This Faithful Deputies community is also for only 18+ adults.

This incident happened in mid-2020. While live streaming in Fortnite, he witnessed to what he thought was a Muslim young adult, who turned out to be a kid. The interaction between the two of them was not negative, they had a civil discussion about their faiths. But a clip was taken from his vod and misconstrued by anti-Christian trolls.

This is the part often clipped: “So look if you were to die in your sins today, you would be sentenced to hell.” But what they do not show is prior to this they had been talking for a while discussing what Muslims believe about Jesus. Why you need Jesus to be saved.

After the incident, he made a statement that his conversation was definitely taken out of context, but he apologized and admitted he can always do better in how he shares the Gospel. He adjusted how he witnesses in games.

Now always clearly asking if the people in his games want to talk about the Bible. He no longer uses the Living Waters, Ray Comfort method of street evangelism called “Way of the Master” where to be able to explain why someone needs to be saved, you have to explain what is sin, that they have sinned, and what are the consequences of sin.

He was first suspended on July 13, 2020, and then on August 3, 2020. Then he was indefinitely banned by Twitch on January 6, 2021.

He got unbanned on 2025.

Both suspensions and the ban were due to vague community guideline violations of hateful conduct. He was not told what vod or specific video violated conduct, what he did specifically that was hateful, or exact the reason by Twitch ever.

Twitch is notorious for vague suspensions and bans.

The anti-Christian trolls and a Business Insider article falsely assumed and reported it was due to “telling a Muslim kid he would go to hell”. The ban actually happened a while after that interaction.

In actuality, the actions were most likely due to massive amounts of anti-Christians reporting him for any perceived slight or clip they could twist out of context.

As Twitch prioritizes certain protected communities over Christian views.

Ask the trolls.

Depends.

Yes, but…

No, not currently.

Yes, he used to live stream and make content as the name Pantorious, playing Super Animal Royale primarily.

He is a Seventh-day Adventist since 2019. Prior to that he tried many different denominations, searching for one that followed the Bible alone. He tried Presbyterian, Baptist, Bible Baptist. When growing up his family attended Baptist churches and Catholic services.

The Seventh-day Adventist denomination is Protestant Christian, similar to the Seventh-day Baptists. It has over 23 million members worldwide and about 1.2 million in the US. Some famous Adventists include Ben Carson, John Harvey Kellogg (creator of Kellogg cereal), and Desmond Doss.

While Adventists did have a prophet named Ellen G. White, their denomination is not similar to Mormons or Jehovah Witnesses. Ellen White never claimed or wanted the title of prophet for herself. She was not the sole founder of Adventism. She focused on counseling believers and pointing them to the Bible as the final authority. Adventists believe in sola scriptura.

He was always confused and bothered by a few things in the Bible.

Growing up he would ask in church for help understanding them, but it never made sense when you read the Bible why they said this is how it meant. He wrongly assumed, they just must understand the Bible better because they are a pastor.

He uses the King James Version and the New King James Version and recommends the KJV for when you need word-for-word Bible translation. As it is based on the most accurate and faithfully preserved translation used by the leaders of the Protestant Reformation.

However, because it is in old English and can be difficult to understand, he uses the NKJV for easier casual reading while still being a more accurate word-for-word translation as compared to thought for thought or paraphrase translations like the NIV.

His favorite book in the Bible is the Gospel of John.

His favorite verse is 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18.

No. He is not a pastor or formal “preacher”. He is just a layman. He also does not have a theological degree.

Some have said that the Sheriff should not witness or discuss the Bible with others because of this lack of education or position. We challenge these people to read about how most of Jesus’ disciples came from humble worker-class jobs, such as fishermen, seen as uneducated and illiterate. Only later after being disciples of Jesus, studying, and working hard to spread the Gospel were they recognized as knowledgeable in scripture and well-spoken with authority in discussing religion. Jesus himself was from a humble background, but very well studied the Hebrew scriptures, having no “formal” education.

While there is no distinct method or label to how he studies the Bible, some may consider it being a “Bible fundamentalist”. It isn’t as simple or strict as that.

How he studies the Bible is based on these principles:

• Have trust and faith that God would preserve His Word as He said He would.
• Have trust and faith in God’s promise to help those who ask for wisdom. He will provide it. God knows your heart. Pray before studying the Bible.
• Go by the Bible alone, sola Scriptura. God created the Bible to instruct us, so no other resource is needed but the Bible alone (other than the Holy Spirit). We can use the Bible to understand the Bible.
• Understand that God and the Bible would not contradict itself. It may seem like that in parts, but with careful study of context, it can be explained why it seems to contradict but does not.
• Sometimes God withholds or blocks someone from understanding a part of the Bible, especially prophecy, and has good reasons. Perhaps they are not ready.
• You have to put aside your own biases. If you do not have an open mind, this could block you from understanding. Similarly, if you go looking for the answer you want, you will find what you want it to say. But it probably is not the true answer.
• Read the Bible for yourself. Don’t take anyone else’s word for what it says and means. Study it yourself.

This is a popular question, but often unclear what the person asking it means. What do they mean by “respect”? He does not agree with or support other religions, because the Bible is clear Jesus is the only way to salvation.

However, he respects that God gave us each free will to choose for ourselves what we believe and who we choose to follow. He supports religious freedom for all due to this.

Everyone should be able to choose themselves, no one should be forced into a religion’s practices. Nor should governments or people restrict religion unless it threatens other people’s human rights. He also does not support freedom from religion, sometimes confused with religious freedom, because that would be an anti-religious stance.

So, while he disagrees with other religions and views them as false, he respects individuals and their freedom to believe what they want.

He does not believe in the coexist movement. While it does have good parts like promoting peaceful coexistence, for no religious violence or persecution, it pushes for not evangelizing for your own religion. It also compromises the specific doctrines of faiths that Jesus is the only way. Leading towards the concepts of universalism and a one-world religion.

The Bible teaches we should show kindness to all individuals, but it does not teach Christians should accept or validate other religious beliefs as true.
