In High School, Zoomer converted to Christianity through attending a youth camp and soon thereafter his family followed with conversion.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Zoomer started his instagram and youtube career which he continues to be highly active in. Compared with his youtube channel, Zoomer is slightly more active in Instagram. His instagram mainly revolves around Christian memes, facts and miscellanous posts. Zoomer is socially conservative and he often describes himself as theologically conservative. However, Zoomer is open minded on left leaning economics and is extremely eccunumerical towards other Christian traditions and denominations.

He is currently dating his girlfriend who is known by her online handle as the "Future Mrs Zoomer." They met through a bible study ran by one of her friends who goes by the name of "Redeemed Zoomer Third-Wheel" during the COVID-19 pandemic. She convinced Redeemed Zoomer to join her bible study group after viewing one of his instagram posts which gave her the impression that he would have good chemistry with her friend (Future Mrs Zoomer) thus she decided to set both of them up on the basis of their shared beliefs. They started dating 13 days after meeting each other.

## Minecraft Server

Zoomer's videos often feature his Kingdomcraft minecraft server where he was seen constructing a large church which has now been completed. On 17 May 2023, Zoomer decided to open his minecraft server to the public with many players building churches/structures.
