I am late to the Youtube party. And surprisingly I do not find myself searching it for hours on end. And, here are four Youtube Channels that I really enjoy. I need to be careful because I am not endorsing their content. However, they are honest, thoughtful and challenge my thinking:
School of Life
I was sent this video and asked what I thought:
As I watched, I thought they got a ton right and a ton wrong. What I appreciated was the honesty that begs for ongoing conversation. Since watching this video, I've watched their video on strength and psychotherapy. I do not agree wholly with any of the videos. Some of them I find offensive, and I recomend the channel to you. Here is the link to the channelThe Bible Project
A former student, friend, and generally brilliant man posted The Bible Project's video on Jonah. That particular video directly addresses issues of our day. The video below is the video on Genesis, so you can decide for yourself, if it is helpful, and gives you new ways to visualize the Scriptures. Once again, I do not always agree with the exegesis of the videos, but find them to be great introductions to individual books of the Bible. In addition, they are based in my home town of Portland, Oregon, so they have to be one step closer to Jesus than the average "joe."Their Youtube page is found here. You can search whatever book you may want to watch.The Nerdwriter
The Nerdwriter was the first artist on YouTube that I watched. He sucked me in. His video on "Kintsugi" (Watch below) blew my mind. I use it on the gracefall.org page as an example of how I view my work as a soul artisan. Evan's worldview is not mine. And he is honest, talented, and opens up new avenues of thought for me whenever I engage his work. Here is the Kintsugi video:The Nerdwriters Youtube page is found here.Ted Talks
Brene Brown is on Ted. That, by itself, makes Ted worthwhile. If you ahven't watched Brene Brown, it is time to start.
If you, like me, have not discovered YouTube, these are good places to start. If you've been on YouTube for years and haven't found these channels. Check them out. And if you have other channels to suggest that are throughful, creative, engaging, challenging, and educational, feel free to suggest them either in the comments below or in a private message. Enjoy... And don't get lost
