Frequently asked questions.

A curated Christian content commons. Every voice is hand-selected for theological care, authenticity, and substance — across whatever genre the voice works in: preaching, apologetics, cultural commentary, scholarship, music, humor, testimony. There is no algorithm. There is no advertising on the site. There is no watch-count display. Read the full About page →

One curator (Bryan Leyenbeck) with a deliberate bar: the historic Nicene Creed and the authority of Scripture as the floor; theological care and substance as the standard. The catalog spans expository preaching, apologetics, cultural commentary, music, scholarship, and testimony — engaging the world rather than retreating from it. Disagreement on open-handed questions (creation, baptism, eschatology, governance, modes of worship) is welcome — voices on Real Voices may even publicly disagree with each other on those.

The Nicene Creed sets the closed-handed perimeter — denying the Trinity, the deity of Christ, the bodily resurrection, etc. is outside the floor. Beyond that, serious Christians have disagreed for centuries on questions that don’t threaten the faith. Those disagreements are not grounds for removal here; they’re evidence that we trust you, the viewer, to weigh them.

Iron sharpens iron. There is far more that unites the body of Christ than divides it, and Real Voices exists to gather Christian voices on that shared ground rather than fragment them across competing platforms. You’ll find Reformed, Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, charismatic, low-church, and high-church voices in the same library.

Every video plays through YouTube’s official player — creators get the same ad revenue and Premium revenue they’d get on YouTube itself. Real Voices takes nothing. Full explanation here →

Yes — Real Voices iOS is in private testing now. An Android version is coming. Both share the same catalog and curation as the web. If you want to be a tester, email afterpew@gmail.com.

Open the video’s page on Real Voices and use the “Report this video” link. Reports are reviewed by hand. Disagreement on open-handed questions (see above) is not grounds for removal. Outside-orthodoxy claims, harmful content, or misrepresentations of Christianity are.

Send a recommendation via the Suggest a voice page. Every submission is read, though we can’t promise every voice will be added.

No. Real Voices runs without ads, without selling data, without affiliate links. AfterPew Ministries (the umbrella) is a solo operation funded by donations and personal investment. If you want to help keep it running, support the mission →

We track the bare minimum needed to run the site — view counts on videos to inform curation (not displayed to users), the videos you’ve watched if signed in (so we don’t recommend the same thing twice), and very basic uptime/error logs. No ad retargeting, no third-party analytics, no behavioral profile.
