The Way of the Master (often called WOTM) is a Christian organization based in the United States. It was started in 2002. Its main goal is to share Christian beliefs with others, which is called evangelism. The organization is led by Ray Comfort, who is an evangelist from New Zealand, American actor Kirk Cameron, and American radio host Todd Friel.
WOTM creates many things to help share its message. These include a television show, a radio show, books, and small pamphlets called tracts. They also offer an online course to teach people about evangelism. The group provides training courses for small groups and has a website. The WOTM logo has the letters WDJD, which stand for "What Did Jesus Do?" This is a reminder of a Bible verse that encourages people to share their faith. The Way of the Master is part of a larger group called Living Waters Ministries, which Ray Comfort also leads.

What Programs Does WOTM Offer?
The Television Show
The Way of the Master is a TV show hosted by Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort. It started being made in 2004. As of August 2025, four seasons of the show have been released. You can watch WOTM on several Christian TV networks, including Trinity Broadcasting Network and Christian Television Network. The show is available in more than 100 countries around the world.
In 2006, Ray Comfort filmed a part for the TV show where he talked about bananas. He suggested that bananas were designed perfectly, which he thought proved intelligent design. However, he later learned that the bananas we eat today were created by humans through selective breeding. Wild bananas are actually small and not very tasty. Because of this new information, Comfort removed the video and changed his claims.
The TV show has won several awards from the National Religious Broadcasters. It won the People’s Choice award in 2004, 2005, and 2006. It also won the Best Program award in 2005 and 2006.
The Radio Show
The Way of the Master Radio (WOTMR) was a daily radio show that lasted two hours. It was hosted by Todd Friel, who used to be a stand-up comedian. The show was broadcast on many local radio stations and could also be heard online through streaming. It was also available on Sirius XM Radio.
The radio show ran from January 2006 until November 2008. After that, it was renamed Wretched Radio and was broadcast through FamilyNet. The original website link for The Way of the Master Radio is no longer active.
Short Radio Messages
The Way of the Master Minute was a series of very short Bible messages. These messages were only one minute long. They were created between 2006 and 2008. These short messages still air on a radio program called The Full Armor of God Broadcast.
Living Waters Publications
Living Waters Publications (LWP) is like an online store for The Way of the Master. It sells many of the organization's materials.
In 2006, a special event happened involving LWP. The United States Secret Service took 8,300 copies of a "million dollar bill" tract. These tracts were printed by Living Waters Publications. The Secret Service took them because a woman in North Carolina tried to use them as real money. Even though the fake bills were clearly marked "This is not legal tender," she tried to deposit them in a bank.
