Nathaniel Darnell is a sinner redeemed by the miraculous grace of God through the atoning work of Christ. As a redeemed soul, his foremost desire is to be a Christian man who stands fast in God’s grace to advance the Kingdom of God without compromise, “bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ” as II Corinthians 10:5 commands.

He is also the grateful, first-born son of four children belonging to Tim and Patti Darnell. Having grown up under the dedicated, discipleship and education of his parents at home in Georgia with his two brothers Joseph and Simeon and his sister Mercy Victoria, Nathaniel has benefited by learning from a father determined to rebuild Christian foundations by focusing on his own family. Nathaniel worked alongside his father in the family’s business from the time he was seven-years-old.

At the age of fourteen, Nathaniel began serving as a legislative aide at the Georgia State Capitol. He worked there for seven years, serving eight different state legislators. From that experience the Lord gave Him an interest in law and civil government, and he soon began studying the Christian principles of Law, profiting especially from the scholarship of David Barton, Gary DeMar, and R.J. Rushdoony. In 2008 Nathaniel graduated from Oak Brook College of Law with a Juris Doctorate (J.D.).

In 2009 Nathaniel authored the young adult novel Glory, Duty, & the Gold Dome, the first in the Sires & Sons Adventure Series. The novel was based largely on his experiences working at the Georgia State Capitol and was published by Vision Forum.

In addition to law, Nathaniel has developed an ability in video production. In 2004 his family founded Valor Visual Media, Inc., which supported Christian organizations by helping them produce instructive and inspirational video resources.

Since May of 2006, Nathaniel has committed himself before the Lord to building the first Video Department for Vision Forum Inc. and Vision Forum Ministries in San Antonio, Texas, and has directed and edited the production of over 81 DVD albums, including How to Disciple Your Family, From Script to Cinema, and The Culture Wars. He presently works as the director of this department under the wise leadership and mentorship of Doug Phillips. Other videos produced by Nathaniel Darnell may be seen listed on the BlueBehemoth.com website, and are also available in DVD format at Vision Forum’s web site.
