I forgot who you are.

Return of the King

Finally! One of the best story telling educators on history on the web.

I subscribed about a year ago after you had been long gone. I’m 23 years old and I’ve been eating your content up. Never went to college or any actual study of our Churches history but this is great stuff !

The man that got me through my degree in Church History 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 now that I’m in ministry, hope the church fathers will inspire me💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

I guess "Hell, Yeah" isn't really appropiate in this context, but "I'm looking forward to it" on the other hand is an understatement. Great news, Ryan. Greetings from Ratzeburg, Germany.

I’m so glad I’m alive to experience this moment

Can't wait for well researched theology and church history videos to resume 👍

I am a Church history student. This channel teaches me more than my seminary. Always Love from India. Congratulations Sir

Once again, I swear there’s a bloody conspiracy for all of my favorite, RU-vid channels to suddenly release all of their videos on one day every six months or so on rotation so i’m just scrambling to catch up every once in a while

Welcome back!!!! Your content had been edifying. Thanks for the hard work.

Alright! I've been teaching myself church history for several years and your lectures are a key component. Excited to see what you do next.

I am so happy you are back. I was telling my niece about you tonight and went to your channel amd seen new videos. My notifications are now turned on! Your videos helped me strengthen my faith. Helped me also how to explain why I believe, what I believe, and put it into words. Thank you for your hard work and thank you for coming back!

When I found you about a year ago I was sad to discovered you had stopped videos. So glad you are coming back.

To think the channel I found and thought 5 years dead would come back. you love to see it

I'm so glad to see you are back!! I appreciate your videos SOOO much!!! They are so helpful. Plus God has given you a great gift in your voice. Please don't ever underestimate that gift.

When we needed him the most… He returned

Loved your content and I can't wait to see what new stuff you have for us , I hope more medieval history 😁

I was an HS Theology Teacher for a couple of years and for the Church History class during the pandemic, your videos were a great supplementary tool to my class. I am glad you are back on YT. God Bless!

I love your channel and appreciate your straightforward no frills lecture style. I'd love to see you do a much more in depth lecture on the Silmarillion for those of us who have read it fanatically, and would REALLY like to see a lecture from you about the Cathars!! You know- aspects of their heretical and bizarre beliefs and how the crusade to wipe them out really came about and if there's more to the story than commonly thought ( as is usually the case) Glad to know you're back!

This is hilarious! But it's GREAT to see you back, your videos are simply outstanding and are very enjoyable as well. God bless you and welcome back!

Hi Dr. Reeves yes I am so glad to see you post new videos! Thank you! I just watched the Halloween video posted yesterday Oct 2, 2023 and noticed people saying welcome back in the comments and soooooooo yes! Welcome back! As I came over to the archive to see how long it had actually been. Welp, I discovered your church history and LoTR works just before and during plandemic times along with Nerd of the Rings and others like that as I went on a bender of trying to find deeper symbolical meaning behind Tolkien and LoTR and, I am pretty sure that, you Dr. Reeves are the one from whom I learned about the book Phantastes. Which was a “proto” modern fantasy book that apparently would have majorly influenced Tolkien and Lewis in their childhoods. If you were not the one who I learned about it from then it was around the same time I discovered you and other scholars searching for real history behind CS Lewis and Tolkien. Anyways again! Welcome back!

I subscribed a couple years ago after you were long gone just so I wouldn’t lose you. I am ever so excited you returned. I didn’t think you would.

Congratulations, and thank you for your work!

What! This popped up now, Christmas is saved, my greatest Christmas gift!!! Will watch your new and old videos during Xmas-time. I watched several of them a couple of years ago, will watch them again, and I'm excited about your new stuff. I'm sorry to tell I had forgotten about you, until RU-vid's algorithm miraculously noticed me that you're back 🙂

Yay! I discovered your channel well after you stopped making videos and binged it. I had given up on seeing anything new. I am so happy right now!

Yay! I really enjoy learning from you. I'm disabled and have health problems and your videos really help to keep my spirits up. I really enjoy history and though I am not a Christian, I believe that church history is an important part of world history.

YOURE BACK ‼️‼️its funny because i literally commented on your community tabs post 5 days ago 😂

I am actually very pleased by this. I have always enjoyed your videos. I hope you remain! Merry Christmas!

Oh my God I have been waiting since the first day I found your RU-vid. I have shared your videos I have talked about your videos. I am totally stoked. Totally excited. I have listen to your videos over and over and over and over and over and over again. I am watching Rembrandt right now on my TV as I’m texting this on my phone.

My man! So happy your back! Your discourse on church history is awesome! Not to mention the Tolkien stuff! I am so happy you’re making videos again! Praise the Lord and thank you sir!

I've watched almost all your videos at least 6 times. Love the church history LOTR and Lewis and Tolkien stuff. So glad to see new content coming!

You’re the best! Been through your church history thee times and various others, but new content! YESSSSS! Please catch us up on where and what you’ve been to? Are you still at GC?

I don't know how I missed this announcement but I'm so glad you're back making content.

Dr. Reeves, I can't tell you what a great ,positive surprise this is. I was just reviewing one of your videos the other day, and by now I only half wonder whether there would ever be any more. I share your vids with other Christians - you offer solid food in a world of cheap-calorie overload.

Dude I’m so excited. Whatever chapter of the channel is next, I’m reading it with gusto

I entered and graduated seminary in the time since your last video. Such a helpful resource. I recommend them frequently

Literally my favorite RU-vidr has returned!!!

I Remember being a 23 BA theology student washing dishes as my part time job and listening to your lectures. You helped me get my degree. Sending love from Manchester England.

Just in time! I finished the last playlist I hadn't watched a few months back. Looking forward to new content! God bless, bro!

Glad to see you back. You inspired me to learn about Church history which compelled me to convert to Orthodoxy, among other things.

My goodness, I unsubscribed a few weeks ago because it seemed the channel was gone, but thank the Lord, you’re back! Thank you

good news! I discovered your channel a few years ago, and it is great!

Yes great news! I Just discovered your channel like a month ago and have been Binge watching all your videos

Thank you for your lectures Ryan, they are so informative

YESSSSS this is very timely, as I've just spent the two last weeks binge watching your Early & Medieval Christianity series!! Can't wait for more!!

Cool to see you back in the game. Love your stuff I've watched all of it!

I thought this was a dead channel. What a wonderful life. May God bless you sir!😊

Thanks for returning! Looking forward to your next installments, having learnt so much from your earlier videos.

I've been subscribed for ages, watched all the videos, some many times, learned so much. I send you a big, big thank you, and greatly look forward to what's coming. 🤩

This makes me so happy, I have learned SO much from your videos over the years!

Love it! I have been binging your videos before bed! 😊 Welcome back!

The day I have longed for! ❤😊

Oh my gosh dude this is amazing news I have prayed for this moment

Your content has been a great blessing to me. I am joyful you will add more. God bless.

Welcome back. I'm glad you're coming back. I first started following you with the Lewis/Tolkien lectures. I thought you were an amazing speaker and entertaining so I checked out your backlog and got hooked. Been subscribed ever since.

Awesome! Loved your series on the history of the church!

Glad to have you back. You are my go to, for faith videos!

Welcome back Dr Reeves. Looking forward to seeing your videos. I think the last one you did was about how the Protestant Bible ended up in Henry the VIII’s Bible, if I am not mistaken. Anyway. Can’t wait for Monday

I watch some several times and often take Notes. Welcome Back!

One of my favorite lecturers. Found you years ago for your work on the Inklings, stayed for the rest of the history.

So glad! Welcome back - looking forward to learning more.

Just when I thought I would forget about this channel and desubscribe, you came back. Can't wait to see a new upload.

Sweet! You’ve always been one of my go-tos. I can’t wait to see what new content you bring!

I’ve been recommending you on a lot of channels. I hope you keep growing!

I am 24 now and started watching your videos when I was 16. I have graduated with a BA in History since your last video, and thank you for helping me develop such a passion for history. Particularly in Roman and Church history, and I am Jewish. Glad to see you're back!

Yeahhhhhhhh boiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!iiii!!!!!! Glad to see you back! Probably my favourite channel of all time!

This is the best news I've heard all week . Love your material, Ryan. I discovered you 3 or 4 years back, and it took me no time at all to blast through both of your entire playlists on church history... The videos are so good, that I've been contemplating watching them all again (which is not to mention the few favorites that I have watched multiple times already). The whole time, I was lamenting that such a high quality channel went inactive. I'm absolutely stoked for new stuff!

“And there was a great rejoicing throughout the land.”

I discoverd your channel earlier this year and was pretty bummed out to see you have posted in a long time, but now I'm thrilled to see you back.

Awesome! Your work is indispensable. It’s more valuable than a credited church history course.

Wow! I discovered your channel on 2019 and watched all the videos! I'm so happy your back!

I literally did a double take I did not believe this was just uploaded today. So happy thank you.

I forgot that I subscribed to this channel 😅 But... I'm glad of more quality history videos! ❤

Thanks for coming back. Your videos have been by far the most educational ones I've ever seen on RU-vid. I subscribed back in 2017, and I don't regret I have :)

I’ve been subscribed to you for about five years so glad there’s more content. Thank you.

Nice I've been binging the last few months, all those videos from 8 years ago, and now you're back!

I always thought I had missed the train with professor Reeves' awesome history mingled religious masterclasses. Glad I was wrong!!

I've completed all your videos and can't wait to see more! Thank you

Oh this got me excited! Started digging deep into your lectures here after you stopped uploading.

Really happy you’re back! I’m an atheist but I love learning history from research-backed and reliable sources.

Finally! I was just going again through some of your videos! Also, if you see this, I sent you an e-mail quite a while ago with an invitation on my podcast. Cheers and welcome back!

I didn't expect you to come back. Now I am excited!

what a pleasant surprise! your theological and historical lectures continue to be a highlight of my education, thank you for continuing to share with us

Welcome back Sir! Looking forward to you next series of history lectures.

We are so happy you're back!

Man!!! It is good to see you back!!

I'm so excited. This is my favorite RU-vid channel. Looking forward to the new history lessons.

Found your talks fascinating. Welcome back

This just made my day! Looking forward to new content. 🎉🎉🎉

This is the best news I’ve gotten all day. I binged all your videos at the beginning of the year.

Very excited! Thank you in advance 🙏🏻

I LITERALLY JUST WATCHED ONE OF YOUR VIDEOS AND ACCIDENTALLY SUBSCRIBED

This brings me so much joy =)

I have enjoyed your content, very educational. Glad you're back

This is awesome! Your videos are helping me get through my Church History subjects.

Absolutely thrilled. Welcome back!

Awesome brother, I’m here for it, you do an excellent job teaching!

Yes! I reminisced my Catholic education during those horrid corona years with your videos. Can't wait for your next lessons.
