Will Hess is the driving force behind The Church Split, a YouTube channel and podcast dedicated to fostering open, honest conversations about apologetics, theology, and the challenges facing the modern church. With over a decade of experience in pastoral ministry, Will brings a unique perspective shaped by his journey from an extreme fundamentalist upbringing to a thoughtful, biblically grounded faith. His exploration of church history, textual criticism, and doctrinal issues led him to create The Church Split as a platform to equip Christians with sound theological positions while encouraging unity within the Body of Christ.
As a pastor, author, and speaker, Will is passionate about helping believers navigate tough topics with humor, humility, and respect. His goal is to break down echo chambers, challenge the status quo, and inspire viewers to engage deeply with their faith. Whether addressing controversial issues or unpacking scripture, Will’s candid approach invites discussion and fosters a community where truth-seeking and grace go hand in hand.
Will’s book, Crushing the Great Serpent: Did God Punish Jesus? reflects his commitment to tackling complex theological questions with clarity and conviction. When he’s not hosting The Church Split or writing, Will enjoys connecting with his audience, serving his local church, and spending time with his family. Join him on this mission to unite, educate, and inspire the church for God’s glory.
