Im not religious. I wasn't raised religious at all.
However you make me want to be. I hear a comfort in your words when tou speak about Christianity. I think my life has been lacking something like that.
Feel free to ask me anything you want! Let me know if you want our community discord link
As someone who was along for the ride dude, this transparency is amazing. You're faith never waivered, your mission never changed, your heart never changed. Your avenue, outlets, and execution did. You have always been and continue to be a light and clear example of praying through decisions for God's guidance. Love you dude, keep pursuing him man!
Hey yall. I know this is a different kind of video. Probably a year too late but it’s taken me a long time to be able get to the point where I could reflect on where God had me vs where I am today.
If you are ready to be a part of the new adventure, let me know! I’m so excited.
Also, for those who will say, you chased the money and all that.
I share parts of my own walk with Jesus
Most mornings at the beginning of stream. Feel free to stop by if you want!
God bless👏🏼🙏🏻

You are Christian enough. I am Christian to, but I do not go to church, I do not give money to church etc. I believe for myself not for someone else. If you like to go to church and believe and pray there. Nothing is less powerful than a pray in your home. It is important how you believe for yourself not how much you “need to give to believe, or to be more appreciated in the community”. Appreciate who you are and who you becoming. Breathe. Only hard work can make your life easier. Nobody will give you, only you need to give yourself.
Man, been here for a long time. Love you brother! We riding this till the wheels fall off! God has big things in store! - GodzWrath260
Much respect bro. All of us are on a journey and we are all a work in progress. Appreciate your openness. People have their thoughts on the whole “christian streamer vs. streamer who is a Christian” I however think BOTH are viable and important to have both. Every person is different. Our callings are customized. The different approaches reach different audiences and but yet accomplish the same goal, honoring God and reaching people. Proud of you bro and am praying for you as God leads you to figure out what YOUR calling looks like to do fullfil Gods plan for your life, even if it looks different than others.
Every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that He is Lord.
Amen
God knows your heart more than anyone in the comments. Keep allowing the holy spirit to lead you in alignment with the Bible, you have found a lot of success in the content creation space with that being said we are all subject to change and figure out the path God has called us on. As people we will change and develop new skills and most people won't understand that change because that fall in love with an area you are fulfilling for them rather than understanding Christ is that fulfillment at the end of the day. entertainers, apologists, evangelists, worship leaders, etc will all change and develop into where God calls you to be.
For example, I follow a sound teaching street evangelist who no longer go into the street to talk about Jesus, but now is touring the world, writing, and doing podcasts talking about Jesus and other topics that point back to the cross and building discipleship. A lot of people miss the old him in the street and making videos and was upset as he went thru a transition period. At the end of the day he figured out what was best moving forwarded for his family and his career which is still for God just looks different.
Your entertainment, videos, lives, and more you put out will show the fruit of the spirit and most times when people see that you are doing something good they will ask how you get here and that's the time to glorify Christ and the Kingdom.
I love you, keep going, and God knows your heart more than anyone else. (Enjoy the college football 25 as well lol)
Brother I already had respect for u but now I respect u even more. It takes a real man of God to notice his faults and be open about them. Pride can sometimes get us all my friend. Just know that u sir are actually an inspiration. I wish u nothing but the best and God bless. I hope one day I can grow as much as u have. Spiritually and with the streaming.
Most of us stand by you..stay humble and bless you. Stay positive and walk with god. Thank you.
Your conversations often encouraged me to, at the very least, pepper my conversations with the Gospel and Biblical truths, where I'm planted - in a retail setting. Such a blessing. You still are. I've waited for so long to see this video and am elated for this answer to prayer. I'm 48 years old and still not where I want to be in my walk. My mentor, 70 years old, still not where he wants to be in his walk. You're not alone. It wasn't our cleaned-up selves that came to Jesus all prepared to impress Him when we met Him. It still isn't, every time we've come to Him after that. It is and always has been by His grace, through faith, with nothing we've added. His work alone. He's going to do something so awesome with you Chris. Can't wait to see where this newly humbled heart gets led. Blessings!
You might not remember me, but I used to be pretty active on your twitch channel quite a while back. I just want to say thank you for the old warzone days. It really did have such a huge impact on my life and many others even if it wasn't always authentic.
Although I haven't been active here in some time, I'm excited to see what the future holds. May God bless, guide, and watch over you as you move forward!
I remember!! I appreciate you man!
Love and respect you Chris! Thank you for opening up & sharing your heart in this video. I hear what you're saying about being a streamer who happens to be a Christian and wanting to pave the way for others. It makes a lot of sense. I believe in you! You have the skill & personality to reach so many people through this brand. Keep being awesome brother!
We love you bro! That's it. Keep doing whatever makes you happy; God will always be by your side.
Thank you Chris. I’ll always be thankful for the content you made/make. Stand firm. Wherever you go, I trust you’re letting the Lord lead you there. ❤️ - PabloMcRib/Redeemed.
Chris, thank you so much for this video, your vulnerability, and for all the content you've put out over the last several years. We are all on a journey with Christ and if it didn't have its valley moments, we wouldn't need God. I truly believe he's brought you on this journey to learn how to trust him more with the direction you take your business/career. Which is hard but it's always worth it when you're in His will.
"Man looks at the outward appearance, but God looks at the heart!" God knows your heart and the way you've shared it in this video, I can tell you are genuinely seeking to please Him which is what matters most.
I loved what you said at the end about wanting to reach a million subscribers to show people that come after you that it's possible. And that there's people to be reached in the gaming space.
I started my channel earlier this year (a channel where I explore the intersection between gaming and faith) and I'm still working on it daily because of creators like you who showed me it's possible to do something like gaming on CZcams for the glory of God. In other words, you're already making the impact that you desire to see at a million subscribers RIGHT NOW.
So all that to say, thank you! In the ups and downs of pursuing God and making content, know that you are an inspiration to many creators including myself. God bless you Chris and I pray the next season of Cross2Crown is exceedingly, abundantly, above anything you could've ever imagined it to be. ❤🙏🏾
I love u bro. You’re amazing and worthy. HE see’s your struggle. HE feels where you are inside. You’re not disgusting & dirty… When faith is strong inside everything else balances out. Wish I had more time to talk to you about Orthodoxy… a lot of the issues like “giving church more money” and stuff like that isn’t what HE wants or needs… ❤ your unfiltered content in this video and if u ask me… THESE kinda videos are what should be in the “uncut” version , God bless & be good
Nice words. Thanks for sharing.
1. Satan doesn't want you to succeed, especially if you share the gospel and the name of Jesus.
2. Spiritual fatigue is a real thing. Ask anyone in full time ministry.
3. Recognizing where you were and being wise enough to surround yourself with stronger Christians is a big step.
4. 19:45 sharing facts about yourself that we all have. So many people think that Christians are supposed to be perfect. That's why Jesus came and died on the cross for us. It doesn't give us license to screwup, but the more we seek Jesus, we won't want to do those other things.
Thank you for sharing.
Love you brother. I can totally relate to how you feel as a growing Christian. None of us are perfect.
Love you brother! Excited for where this is headed. And grateful for your transparency.
Looking forward to what is to come!

Keep up your work brother. The Lord is definitely working through you. This is what the gaming community lacks. Technically what the world lacks. Its refreshing having someone spread the message today with all the evil in this world. Just remember there is no such thing as a "perfect Christian", we are all sinners and its the work we put in that matter's at the end of the day. Thanks for all you do Cross
droppig a comment. I love that I can turn you your vids on while my lil nephew is here playing fortnite and I do not have to mute the vid.
Love the vision!! Praying God continues to lead you to honor and glorify Him with your life no matter what content you’re making brother!!!!!
You really inspired me when I first found you around a year ago, Chris. A lot has changed for me as well in the past year. I tried everything to be helpful to any churches that would hire me, but I've learned churches don't want help from people like us. Our creativity is maybe just better spent on our own ventures.
Beautifully said brother. We all struggle in our walk with Jesus. It's a process. And for those who don't believe and don't like religion being pushed on you, it's not really religion, it's a personal relationship with Jesus. Something happens when we humble ourselves and ask God to forgive us and believe Jesus died and rose again for you to live forever. There's 2 types of people in this world, those who have asked God for forgiveness, and those who will. Those who say they won't, tell me how that goes when you're at your life's end. When you get ready to cross over to the unkown, you will cry out for God to save you. I hope you do in time. God love's you, so much He sent His only son to die a terrible death on a cross for you. If you can't accept that, then you will have to accept the consequences. I pray all of you non-believers will change your minds and accept this incredible gift that God gave us, because He loves us.
thank you chris for expressing yourself in person and incouraging the world out there it takes a real man to talk out of the heart and although i only know you through content i get a better perspective now about how good guy you are thank you for the great dmz streaming and may you go strenth to strenth fron South Africa all love bro
One of the best things on the internet by one of the best dudes on the internet. This is brilliant. Supporting you all the way!
I'm not religious or have any interest in it. Doesn't bother me if you talk about it though. I watch because your streams are entertaining, you actually show emotions, positive and negative, which is relatable. Also your fearlessness to push a squad of 4 as a solo in close quarters is awesome. Keep on doing you.
Your content has been a saving grace to me.. I sometimes suffer extreme anxiety and I find I have to try and distract my mind as much as I can.. so I glue myself to DMZ content, your content!! Ty🙌
I just want you to know that I may not be a vocal member of the community but you truly have made an impact on my life. I am super thankful for the fact God has brought you to where you are today. Don’t give up! Looking forward to where God leads you and the new path you are exploring with college football.
Dude, you've been killing it. The most vocal voices are often the negative ones, but know you've got folks in your corner. Love it, and as always, feel free to reach out if we can be doing anything to support what you're up to. 💪💪💪
Appreciate your vulnerability and transparency! You have always been an inspiration to me! I can appreciate the grind and the fact despite having growth and building your brand you still take time to give avid credit! Proud of you! Thank you for continuing to be a light in a lost and dying world!!
Also, another person sharing what you're saying is Head from Korn. And he also said he's just going to do what he's gonna do.
Chris I read the Bible everyday. I don’t go to church because I live through doing what the books say. Do the right thing all the time when no one is watching. Remember that. Let people have their opinions. The Bible says spreading seed everywhere will have many places it can’t take root. Keep that verse close. Do what you love, but keep an open mind. If someone needs the word then you’ll know those moments to help. Use your ambitions to help with mental health, and other philanthropic purposes as an asset to your genuine self. I stream, coach, and play COD. I studied esports as a bachelors degree. I also run with Steve. The Steve who reached out to you. He’s a great guy. All this has a larger purpose in your future. Follow the path. If you are doing the right thing, and in the right place when found doing the right thing you will be where you need to be. Don’t stress about how to have a voice in being a good person. Just be one quietly, and people will see that. You have a lot of potential brother. Just being a great human being will be what makes you overcome everything. Let your faith dictate your path confidently. One last thing. In faith I highly suggest you try praying, for things that aren’t selfish. Don’t pray, for success. Don’t pray, for your own self. Pray to help others. Make promises to yourself, God, and others to do more, for others then you do, for yourself. My life came together perfectly when I nearly died, and prayed, for others in my dying. This is where your heart wants to be. Believe 👊
Thanks for the honesty and openness. I had honestly wondered what happened. I was there when way back when you were sharing a lot. Due to real life I got away from your channel and came back and was curious as to what happened. But every Christian goes through the proverbial valley and most come through on the other side completely different and better for the journey.
But like many others have said, it is your channel and your voice. You do what you need to do and what you are being lead to do.
Keep it up whatever it might be. God bless and God speed brother
Man!! Thank you for sharing man. I listened the whole why through. Thank you for you honestly and the ability to speak about it. Great luck to you man.
Amen, brother.
It takes a lot of courage to make this kind of video. You do you. I'll be here to support and to keep watching. May God bless you and all the success to you. Finding your channel, was a blessing from God. Have a good day Chris.
Hey man, i know you might not see this but you made me think of the lesson from last sunday at church. We are all Gods masterpiece, with all our imperfections we are perfectly imperfect. Youre an amazing person keep being you and doing what you do.
The world needs more people like you. Keep up the good work brother and thank you for all your videos
YOU ARE GOING TO BE BLESSED BEYOND MEASURE!¡!!!!! IN JESUS NAME AMEN!!!!!
Love you bro, have since the first time I stumbled on stream, and always will love you bro, and i support you! Keep on Keeping on, and don't let People who think they can tear you down discourage you. We Love you Chris!
Thank you for this testimony may the lord fill you up with all of him , he lights your path and continues to use you love you bro , and the content keep walking bro
Building bridges is a sick goal, love it, just represent Christ well, love, grace, without making people feel icky lol
I admit I was one who loved the old vids I was there, but I'm not mad, I like your new stuff too! Keep up the good work, God has you!
Thanks man. This is the encouragement that helps.
We as the community love you cross, you have came a long way for your gaming, your channels, ur Christianity, and as a person, keep up the good work man and you will see better things in the future, I love your videos, I have watched all the way back to your first video they get me through the day, nothing better than chilling at home eating some food and watching you, remember that you don’t have to go to church to be a Christian, you can praise god no matter what you are doing even while playing the game.❤️❤️
Appreciate everything you’ve been doing, and the “do it all for the glory of God” mentality. The words C.S. Lewis wrote about writing books rings true today for the content creation space as well… “The world does not need more Christian literature. What it needs is more Christians writing good literature, with their Christianity latent”
Bro you are good because i have watched you a few years now. You have share the the gospel with a lot of people and give people hope by leading people to Christ the things is as people we have all fell short of the Glory of God we all have struggle hang in there brother
Keep your head up. You will get through those tough days. We all have those days where our past bad days haunts but we all pull through and makes us a better person. I love the dmz content. Im not a football person so probably wont watch the football content. I really hope the football content works out and takes off for you. Im excited to see where your channel grows too. God will guide you down the right path no matter what and will be right there with through it all.
Respect this transparency
Thank you for your videos and you being you! Been watching you for months on tiktok streaming DMZ. You help my mornings at work go by fast. You are very wise for your age, I'm 44 and not wise as you. I appreciate your wisdom 🙂 I'm from Ohio, the state is rough. Keep being you, keep your head up, spread the word of Jesus and continue being a badass in DMZ 😁. Hopefully you kill me one day and pick me up haha
I believe also bro. I just started watching your stuff and this makes me like it more. Ain’t nothing like being a believer.
I got into your content because of the values you have and show in your day to day streams, not just because of your early content. I live in Oregon and watch your stream to start my day, your content is awesome. I will support people and companies who share similar values to myself, so I am PUMPED about some NCAA content.
Keep killing it Cross!
I think It'd be nice to see some variety. There are even Christian games on Steam like Gate Zero or the Jesus RPG etc.
Definitely gives me a better feeling and understanding of you Cross. I was honestly on the fence of who or what you were about. Now I have a better idea. Thank you
Great video, very transparent.
Proud of you man keep doing what you’re doing and making great content ! And keep on the path you’re being led on everything happens for a reason there is a plan for us all 💪🏼💪🏼
Do you have a discord channel?
I found you through DMZ. I subscribed because of your faith and testimony each day. Can you be “toxic” well we all are and through the grace of God - we are forgiven. I will continue to watch and look forward to your EA sports content
What you were saying is very interesting. I’m personally a Catholic so pretty much the same as a Christian just continue doing what you do. It seems like it’s a calling for you. Have a great day.
Thank you for sharing! It’s not easy sometimes speaking from the heart! God is great!
You will never begin to know how much I needed to hear this today! I have just dropped my old church pastor a message asking if I can have a conversation with him about my absence from church and my absence of faith. Thanks again buddy🥄🥄
Loved this video appreciate you sharing brother 🤙🏼
So happy to hear your still a Christian! Everyone's walk with God has struggles and I am happy you are surrounding yourself the church and people that are helping you grow spiritually because that's what matters first.
You can impact people with this channel for sure. You can do all things through Christ and I see your vision. I hope and pray for you to grow this channel and achieve your goals. If you are right spiritually and you don't put this before him, the Holy Spirit will work through your character.
Looking forward to the next steps brother! Praise to the Holy Trinity Amen!
LOVE THIS!!!!
Thank you for doing this, Chris! There’s nothing that (the world, but specifically…) this country needs more than a return to Jesus. #ChristIsKing
Chris my friend it's admirable that you are on the good path, however you can not coerce others to join the the same path, they have to find the path for themselves.
Love ya Brother!
Hey @cross2crown I really appreciate and enjoyed the insight the video gave me. I started watching because you’ve mentioned you’re a Christian. I’m grateful to have come across your channel and started playing more DMZ because of you, not playing a lot now but still like the game/play. I truly hope everything works out for you. Thanks an GodBless
I love you're videos keep them up and good luck on everyting
CFB i will be here bro! excited for you!
Thanks man! I appreciate you! You know I’ll be hitting you up for help in the sports world!
Praying that God will continue to use your gifting for His Kingdom!
God is great keep planting seeds brother
Coming from someone who has been around a while, I think we need more faith talk not less. God put this call on your heart to share Christian content while playing video games Chris. If God put that call on your heart believe He will give you the tools to carry out that call. Keep doing your thing, we love you
Good on you cross. The truth of our salvation is in your name
Keep up the good work the lord will guide you just keep up the work brother love you and your content.
Keep planting the seed for Jesus Christ. Only real men love Jesus.
Romans 3:23 brother. “For we all fall short of the glory of God” Confess, repent and pick it back up chris let’s goooooo🙏🏽❤️
Just curious??,? What happens if that garage door opens
Hey where are the streams ?
I haven’t been to church in a while and I’ve felt guilty about it, I don’t pray often I’m flawed I’m nowhere near the person I want to be for God. Please don’t stop making this content it reminds me what I need to do as a person to make God happy and if you don’t like him voicing his religious opinion than just watch his gameplay you don’t have to watch these specific videos.
Respect 🫡 god bless fam. keep up the good work brother, really got to know you a lot more after watching this one 💯 Respect
Marlin says hi :0)
All it takes is one person to want to get closer to god because of this video. To me that’s worth the 10 who are against it. I hope people complain about all other stuff that get pushed into our lives. God bless everyone here
Comments on this video do not disappoint lol
🙏🏽🙏🏽 keep doing your thing God knows your heart and you know where you fall short striving everyday to be more like Christ is what being Christian is all about. Preach that Good News share your testimony and start that tough conversation when you feel that push from the Spirit and God will carry you to glory in His name
Heyy cross could i suggest doing gameplays like story modes in video games??
You are one hell of a player, and even though I don't enjoy the religion part, I still check you're channel every now and then, and I agree that sometimes I feel you're arrogant when it is maybe your confidence!!! Either way I wish you the best, keep doing what you do!!!
What team did you play for as a pro soccer player?
Soccer fan here, what team did you play for?
I watched you a little until I found out you were Christian, then I started watching all your videos. Never catch you live but I do watch anything you post. (May not finish full streams all time) I don't classify myself as Christian but I do believe in God and Jesus and I think you're not a bad Christian, just human. You're a great DMZ player and pray I get to meet you in there 1 day. Keep up great work!
I love watching your vids, youre an insane gamer, youre entertaining... Sometimes i think you can bring some negativity when things dont go your way. However, it nakes you more re authentic .. so please dont take that as a shot...
Im not religious and dont believe (my 5 year old child has cancer and even though shes beating it, ive seen stuff in hospital where kids aren't soo lucky and i just question how, if God was real, can this be happening to such innocent sweet children. Also, im from England but i love American country music and most of my favourite artists/songs are religious or reference it, so im not against it... Id love to go to a church with the gospel performances, it would be an amazing experience... My wife is Polish and i live in Poland and its very religious but also catholic church is corrupt and controlling. Its a Business....
Great vid Cross, keep the content coming.
Would love to chat one day about all these things. Praying for your daughter
@@cross2crown thanks brother... I appreciate it mate.And like I said, f##k the haters and bitter people... We all have the right to have a grump, a moan and stuff when things don't go our way .. that makes your streams authentic. 👍🫡
. 28:39 “…. So that in their excellence they might have an opportunity to share Jesus” damn bro 🥹🥲❤️☦️
I have enjoyed watching you over the last couple years I did notice the change. I haven't been very valocal in your streams bit have had fun watching you and I see the change. Good luck to you brother. GOD Bless you.
Keep faith in the church? The like keep food in ground or on the trees and plants and don’t eat it. There is pushing church and then there is sharing your passion for Christ. There is nothing wrong with sharing his passion for Christ.
Does this mean you will pick up more players in DMZ? Lol like the solo players?
Yeah right(eous)!
I do but that’s okay
All I’m hearing is that you’re not perfect, no one is, you’re struggling and need to get back to your roots.
I would say take a mental break for yourself. We will be here when you come back. God bless
Is “roots” gospel sharing on games? Because if so I’d ask you to watch the video
By roots I mean what grounds you, and gets you back to where you’re not disgusted with the man you see in the mirror.
Your the one y I play DMZ
Sorry for the comment it was just my 2cents
Hey cross 14 month sub on twitch I watch you every day I love your videos streams everything keep up the good work brother
Cross2Crown bub you don’t need to defend yourself- your a great game player- your movement for Christ is Great I love it- but please understand the Days we live in- people will attempt to destroy you because the at haters simple and plan do you and always put God first the sky is the limit- 🙏✌️
Cross, Deus te abençoe
First off DMZ is a VIDEO GAME! People need to quit taking it so personal. Second he is talking about his journey, and if you are offended that he’s talking about being a Christian in this video then move along. I’m not a Christian and some of the worst people I met are people hiding behind god. I hope you keep slaying in DMZ and keep your faith. GG’s everyone.
Deus é bom em todo o tempo 🙏🏼🤍
Was wondering why this channel wasn't getting uploads anymore. Best of luck to your goals, Cross👍
