Let me take a minute to introduce myself. I (Thaddeus) am a Christian evangelist and apologist dedicated to using intellectual arguments to bring the Gospel to all people, but especially to Muslims. I have been my churcstudying Christian apologetics since I was saved more than 20 years ago. I am naturally a very introverted person and thus my involvement was entirely informal. I would use apologetics in conversation with friends and such, but never imagined becoming a public figure or launching a ministry.

About four years ago, I was introduced to Islam in a significant way. Certainly, I knew the basics of the faith and even specific arguments against it, but had no particular interest in the religion. As a Christian, I was always especially interested in the historical argument for Christianity. Most religions are not grounded in history, but rather in spiritual ideas. Where and why Buddhism was founded, makes little difference to the truth of religion for example. In contrast, the truth of Christianity is entirely dependent on whether Jesus rose from the dead or not. This means Christianity can in principle be proven historically, but also that it can be proven false. Islam shares this trait, as if Muhammad was not the "last prophet" and founder of the religion, it cannot be true. Realizing this, I quickly became very interested in studying the religion.

During my investigations, I ended up befriending a Christian YouTuber. I mentioned to him I was giving an apologetics lecture at my church (for a dozen people) and he suggested I put it up on YouTube. After some praying and thinking, I decided to go ahead and upload it, and Reasoned Answers was launched. I had no grand plan, nor any intention to talk about Islam, but the Lord had plans where I did not. The channel began to grow and God slowly worked on me. I started talking about Islam and little by little I began to realize just how much ministry to Muslims is needed. Eventually, I came to realize that this is my life's calling, but not before taking a break from YouTube.
