Executive summary

Available sources in your search set do not report any named pastors criticizing David Jeremiah’s use of YouTube or quoting specific critiques of his online ministry; reporting instead highlights Jeremiah’s own online presence and ministry roles, including Turning Point and Shadow Mountain Community Church [1] [2]. Coverage shows Jeremiah using YouTube to broadcast sermons and commenting on cultural issues [3], while other sites defend his teaching record [4].

1. What the provided reporting actually documents about Jeremiah’s online presence

The materials supplied show David Jeremiah as a long‑time broadcaster and senior pastor who uses radio, television and the Internet — including YouTube — to distribute sermons through his Turning Point ministry and Shadow Mountain Community Church [1] [2]. News coverage cites specific sermons posted on YouTube where Jeremiah addressed cultural themes like a “post‑truth” world, indicating his digital platforms are part of his regular preaching outlets [3].

2. No named pastors criticizing his YouTube use are in these sources

None of the supplied sources include a named pastor publicly criticizing Jeremiah’s use of YouTube or describing objections to his choice of platform (available sources do not mention a named pastor criticizing Jeremiah’s YouTube use). The materials either present his broadcasts and roles or defend his doctrinal credibility [1] [4] [2] [3].

3. Where critics or controversies might appear — and what’s missing here

Criticism of well‑known ministers’ platforms often appears in denominational statements, opinion columns, or social media threads; however, the current set of sources contains primarily promotional or supportive content (Turning Point material and a supportive theology blog) and a Christian press story about a sermon topic [1] [4] [3]. Because those types of outlets typically emphasize ministry reach or doctrinal defense, they may not capture intra‑church disputes or sharp critiques from other pastors; the supplied reporting does not contain such disputes (available sources do not mention intra‑pastoral criticism).

4. What defenders say about Jeremiah’s teaching (context for why critics might be muted)

A theology blog in this set contains first‑hand viewer testimony asserting Jeremiah’s faithfulness to Scripture and calling him “honest and straightforward,” arguing there’s no evidence of serious doctrinal error in his sermons [4]. That kind of public defense can reduce the visibility of formal criticisms, or else criticisms may take place in forums not represented among these sources [4].

5. How news coverage frames his sermons — an example from Christian Post

Reporting in the Christian Post highlights Jeremiah preaching about cultural concerns (for example, warning that Christians live in a “post‑truth” world) and notes his institutional roles — head of a school affiliated with his church and chancellor at a biblical studies school — underscoring both influence and audience reach when he publishes on platforms like YouTube [3]. This framing treats his online presence as an extension of pastoral outreach rather than a flashpoint for public clerical critique.

6. Where to look next if you want names and direct quotes

To find any named pastors who have criticized Jeremiah’s use of YouTube, consult broader reporting sources not included here: local denominational statements, mainstream religious press, opinion pieces, social media threads among pastors, or investigative pieces that track public disagreements between ministers. Those venues are not part of the supplied material, so their contents are "not found in current reporting" here (available sources do not mention such criticism).

7. Bottom line and limitations of this analysis

Based on the four provided items, there are no documented instances of named pastors criticizing David Jeremiah’s use of YouTube; the sources instead document his online preaching, institutional roles, and some public defense of his teaching [1] [2] [3] [4]. This analysis is strictly limited to the supplied sources and does not assert whether criticism exists elsewhere — that would require checking additional reporting beyond these items.
