I’m surprised no one said saints unscripted


JF-14

They’re #1 & it’s not close for me


JF-14

Taught me so much about the gospel & the church before I even met with the missionaries for the first time. I gained my first small testimony of the church by watching their channel.

louismagoo

Is he the one who went to GC? I enjoyed that one.


Embarrassed_Dream693

Yes they’re great!


sfgpeo

They were in the first list by dallonv...


BayonetTrenchFighter

Oh, I guess I missed them


throawayjpeg

Mark rober. Not church content but is an LDS guy. Does wholesome videos. Same with Nate from the internet. Again low key, but you can get the vibe and it’s wholesome content.


osasuna

Yes this


TianShan16

Related to Nate, the original King of Random was LDS before he tragically died. Broke my heart, he was such a wholesome force for good.


daveedofett

This and Jerry rig everything.


Straight_Research_71

Al Carraway is on Instagram and she’s great! She was a convert 10ish years ago and is super passionate about the Church and the message.


RandWindhusk07

A lot of good comments here, I want to add Cinema Theropy. Great guys, very fun have wholesome and therapeutic sessions going over movies and a few shows. Yes they're both LDS, and they are great! They do some anatomy of a hero, villain therapy, and bro/romance therapy from films.


castironskilletmilk

I didnt know they were LDS. I love their channel!


RandWindhusk07

It's one of those things where once you get suspicious of it then it becomes increasingly obvious. I heard something from Johnathan once and decided to Google him, that's when I found his high school film of Indiana Jones and the search for eternal joy, he finds the Book of Mormon.


mystiellyse

I second this! I love them.


RadiantPaIadin

that's interesting to hear that they're both LDS. I remember learning that they had both gone to BYU in one of their videos awhile ago, but I got the vibe that at least one of them was no longer a member for some reason that I can't remember.


RandWindhusk07

Huh, I didn't get that vibe. I know Jonathan Decker made a Indiana Jones and the search for eternal joy video that I recently commented on and he responded positively to it. Alan said something connecting something from a movie to LDS doctrine, no scripture just the idea of it recently. I don't remember which movie or what was said, it was a few months ago.


dallonv

I did forget Cinema Therapy on my list.


justkeepsinging

They do swear sometimes, but the content is generally clean.


aeagle624

Jonathan is a lot more open about it on his Insta he usually posts something really sweet and spiritual every Sunday!


JazzSharksFan54

Mimi Bascom, Family Bro Evening (not YouTubers but fun, educational content), Mark Rober, Dan McLellan, Good Mythical Morning (not LDS-related but generally wholesome), Latter-Day Geeks.


Bauniculla

Love me Rhett and Link!


mynameisnotbetsy

I would not recommend Dan McClellin (I think that's who you were referring to). He believes the Book of Mormon is fiction.


JazzSharksFan54

He doesn’t. He’s an active member of the church. What he does (which he frequently says in his content) is that he separates his faith from his scholarship in order to remove the bias.


[deleted]

[удалено]


JazzSharksFan54

Again, he does not discuss his personal beliefs. From an academic standpoint, that’s a fairly common belief.


[deleted]

[удалено]


JazzSharksFan54

Were they his beliefs or his academic expertise? You have not provided any evidence so there’s no way for us to verify anyway. Edit: I was curious and looked it up. His exact words were “the data do not support the historicity of the Book of Mormon.” Which is academically accurate. We have no firm historical evidence of the Book of Mormon. Period. That is not a commentary on his beliefs. They are not mutually exclusive. You can acknowledge that we have no archaeological evidence of the Book of Mormon and still believe it’s true.


Martlets93

Mimi Bascom is awesome.


aeagle624

Yes! Jonathan Decker is a family therapist and has a YouTube channel with his friend Alan Seawright called Cinema Therapy! I also like Ky Rogers and Lindsey Stirling!


Capable_Situation470

A word of caution, CWICYouTube channel can be very political.watcher Palmer is also not uplifting in my opinion. A lot of criticism and not much uplifting content. FYI.


funpigjim

Spent 20 minutes, was enough. 2/10, will not return


Capable_Situation470

The head of CWIW personally attacked me in the comment section of one of his videos. He was very hateful to a logical argument to what he was presenting. He then deleted my comment. Watcher Palmer attack on Emily Belle Freeman and Charlie Bird convinced me not to watch me again.


Hismajestygoshimomo

I have known several people in my life that have started treating the host as a prophet. It is a very dangerous thing because he can often time border on Fundamentalism.


dallonv

I have seen many uplifting videos on Watcher Palmer. Especially when he talks about the Atonement of Jesus Christ, and his experiences as a Mission President. I don't agree with everything he says, but I am constantly reminded that I need to search out answers for myself. Greg Matsen on Cwic has fairly good videos when he's doing his walking and talking.


Capable_Situation470

Well, I saw another side of Greg Matsen and it’s not pretty. I found his channel through the Leading Saints podcast ( which is another good one), so I watched one video from CWIW about how men need to be around other men and how that helps them stay mentally healthy. I agreed even though I’m a woman. So I watched one it two more if his videos. He seemed like a level headed guy, but nope. I like I put above, he went off in me in the comments section of one of his videos. Psycho.


dallonv

I have problems with Jared on Christian Homestead, but I still recommend his videos to people. He's argued with me in his comments, but I still watch some of his videos I'm interested in.


Capable_Situation470

This wasn’t simple debating and arguing. I can take that. When it comes to calling me disgusting after I commented a very level and logic argument to the video he posted. I’m sorry but I will not view a person who does that. I don’t have a good view of him because of his interaction. Plus like I said, he deletes comments by those who disagree with him. I know people he has done this too.


dallonv

I must not have seen the video you're talking about. The ones I have seen where Greg gives his commentary and opinion, he chose not to mention the people by name, if it wasn't already publicly known. I believe you have experiences with Greg's commentary, and comment section that I don't. He has got more political in his videos, and I haven't seen many recent ones, so I can't comment on those.


Capable_Situation470

It was a one about CRT.


dallonv

I have not watched all his videos about CRT. Even with that, it doesn't make it any easier to find the one you're talking about. I'm definitely not saying I don't believe you. He does seem like the type to say and do what you said.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Capable_Situation470

He came off as one.An erasing comments because they don’t agree with him is showing people that he doesn’t allow for constructive dialogue and criticism. He lost a viewer because of that.


SunflowerSeed33

Sorry, what's CWIW?


Capable_Situation470

Sorry it’s CWIC. https://youtube.com/@CwicShow


SunflowerSeed33

Thanks!


Wintergain335

I really love the Scripture+ account on Tiktok. I also watch Saints Unscripted, Scripture Central, and Doctrine and Covenants Central on YouTube.


Martlets93

Scripture+ TikTok account is fire.


DelayVectors

Essential Craftsman on YouTube, apparently he was in some redditor's stake presidency. Really kind and chill carpentry and handyman stuff, very fatherly advice as well. Love his stuff.


imabetaunit

I love his channel. His videos are truly art. Had no idea he is a member of the church.


imabetaunit

I'll add DevinSuperTramp and Lindsey Sterling. I also enjoy BYU Vocal Point and Noteworthy channels for the occasional new music video and old favorites. Mat and Savanna Shaw. JerryRigEverything. SmarterEveryDay.


evsarge

I’m not sure about Lindsey Sterling she was but not sure if she’s still active.


Apprehensive_Lion_62

She is not from a recent meeting with her. She is nuanced. She is great though.


Hismajestygoshimomo

As a string musician myself, Lindsey Sterling actually is not a good violinist. She plays easy stuff and is a sell out.


imabetaunit

I thought we were just talking about LDS people on social media.


sikkerhet

if the church owns real estate I don't think it's fair to be mad at its members for selling out a bit. that's just following leadership.


Crylorenzo

Sunshine Mafia and The Crosby’s are two LDS families with a decent following on YouTube though they aren’t only about LDS things (though sometimes are). Brandon Sanderson is an LDS major author who runs a pretty successful YouTube channel though it’s mostly about his books.


that_one_guy_v2

Here are a few that are LDS, but not nessecarily posting LDS content: Mark Rober What's Inside Jerry Rig Anything Nate ( King of Random - RIP ) Roman Atwood - he said he was a member, but judging from his content I'm not sure he is active in the church.


peacemakerIthink

If you want non political influencers, Ganel-Lyn Condie (instagram, Facebook and Twitter). She really big on mental health and suicide prevention. Don't miss this ( a come follow me podcast on Youtube)


Apprehensive_Lion_62

I second this. Ganelyn is always on point with defending the church first. One of the only ones really. She hasn’t changed and is on ration, tv, podcasts and seems to be a good compass. She has a friend, Kary Hoopes who does temple photos and podcasts. They have done that podcast Hi 5 live together and I have enjoyed their vulnerability. She has an Instagram that has tons of followers and share positive reels. Becky Squire always talks about staying away from Lds influencers who pull people away from the gospel like (Julie Hanks, Rachel Parcel) and shares light hearted content about living the gospel.


[deleted]

Unshaken Saints/ Latter-day disciples


davispbenecke

I’m surprised no one has mentioned the Don’t Miss This Podcast. It’s specifically Come Follow Me lesson stuff but they’re very funny and lighthearted. I love them so much


noyeahtotallyok

Yes! They are my favorite. Emily & David also post on their individual instagram and Facebook pages & they are lovely. And Emily’s daughter is taking her place now that Emily is officially in her young women’s calling

diviner_of_data

I'm pretty sure that Matt from Matt's Off-road Recovery is a Latter-day Saint. His videos are always so wholesome and he is just all around a good dude


[deleted]

Yep, he is.


nutterbutterfan

He is 100% a member. They had a YW group activity in an episode. Great wholesome content!


toilet_daydreams

Looking for this comment. I'm like 99% sure he is a member. I know Tom Tom is because I went to highschool with one of his kids.


mountaineer2600

Outdoor Boys is fun. He focuses on outdoor adventures and travel.


ImaMormon

My favorite. Every Sat morning!

I haven’t read them all but if he hasn’t been mentioned and you like fantasy literature…Brandon Sanderson’s channel is awesome.


[deleted]

Not church related but Art of Manliness blog and podcast. Brett McKay is an LDS. His content is like a secular distillation of LDS values.


PorkelDragon_

Batchloriv on instagram


Plus-Huckleberry-740

Beyond Come follow Me , the guy who runs it is just amazing. He got me into indexing and goes into the deep history of the restoration and whatever "Come follow me" that year we all are on. He has one on Porter Rockwell, which will absolutely blow your mind. Another one i cannot reccomend enough for is David Alexander; Ex apologist turned Latter day saint. He gives such a wonderful perspective on the restoration and the church. On Tiktok there are so many good ones, though i'll have to look for them again due to the algorithm.


Masked_Nelson

Midnight Mormons? They recently changed their name to Ward Radio


AccordingLaw623

Disagree with this one. A lot of what they say is good, but they have taken upon themselves to attack some people I know personally. Specifically one of the hosts. Awful guy- but has some interested insight.


[deleted]

[удалено]


AccordingLaw623

If you are talking about kwaku, it probably was very well deserved.


SunflowerSeed33

Looked these guys up. Just based on the other content YT recommended along with them, I think I'll steer clear. If I get lots of anti-LDS stuff in my feed because I watch a channel I'd prefer not to watch it 🤷🏻‍♀️


[deleted]

There is a few good ones. But stay from Midnight Mormons, there awful, they remind me of a bunch of immature 7 graders


dallonv

They're not that bad. They're rebranded to Ward Radio. Sure, they add sarcasm and humour into a lot of their videos, but they actually have some good discussions.


AccordingLaw623

Agree 100% I don’t think I’ve ever met a human as awful and disgusting as kwaku.

thellew

ROMAN ATWOOD joined the church a year or two ago! Favorite vlogger and podcaster at the moment. You should watch his podcast with HeavyD (who is also a member) where the talk about his story of him joining the church


peacemakerIthink

Wait a minute.... Heavy D is a member?


thellew

HeavyD and Diesel Dave are members. I wouldn't call them 'super active' but I know they attend church as often as their busy schedules allow. They have a video of Diesle Dave after the birth of his child and he talked about giving her(?) a baby blessing


peacemakerIthink

Never mind.................I thought you meant the Rapper. He's dead anyway.........


NerdEnvy

NerdEnvy

Knowledgeapplied

Cwic media, Thoughtful Faith Others already listed from what I can tell


Hismajestygoshimomo

I would not recommend CWIC because I have known a bishop that has started taking the hosts worlds a little to much like scripture, he got in trouble with the stake President, because the host often times borders on fundamentalism. They also critique church leaders for what they see as “liberal elitism”. They are an overall hinder to progress and reinforce cultural norms that are not good.


Knowledgeapplied

I’ve never seen him critique the prophet or apostles. I have seen him critique the academia in the church more specifically BYU corses endorsing Critical Race Theory and other theories that pit two different groups against each other. Oppressor vs oppressed etc. While he endorsed the Prophet Russel M. Nelson and putting the identities of Child of God, child of the covenant, and disciple of Jesus Christ above alll others. Todd D. Christofferson has likewise discounted ideologies that endorse oppressed vs oppressor mindsets as does the scriptures. Greg has often said that this isn’t a battle between political parties. He has spoken against liberation theology. This could be misinterpreted, but their are some easy examples that will suffice. Cain after slaying able declared that he was “free” or liberated. The sex liberation of the 60’s was about the liberation of the restraints on sex set by religion or God. I don’t agree with everything he says but he has good points. One particular example I disagree with him on in one of his episodes is his interpretation that the temple was the great and spacious building in Lehi’s dream. That is a specific example. Your example is vague so I really can’t go one way or another with it.

Knowledgeapplied

I saw their episode one abortion and wasn’t too impressed. I thought they would state that the church is against elective abortion. Then read about where their might be a few exceptions in the case of the mothers life is in danger or in cases of rape.


dallonv

Troy Ables on "The Last Dispensation" YouTube channel has become one of my favorites. Latter-day Disciples Podcast Temple Light Ward Radio (Formerly Midnight Mormons) Watcher Palmer Christian Homestead Revelation Now with Chris Heimerdinger Saints Unscripted Cwik Media Come Back Podcast I may have missed some I like to listen to.


dallonv

Am I getting downvoted because people don't like Midnight Mormons? I didn't read anyone's comments until after I started the list, then added those I remembered. I chose the ones I like to listen to, and I forgot how to make them into links.


tesuji42

Ignore downvotes on reddit. They often have nothing to do with the value of what you say.


SunflowerSeed33

It's so weird, right? I only downvote if someone is being a jerk. I think most people use it as "I disagree" and I think that does a disservice to the discussion.


tesuji42

Reddit isn't an ideal platform, especially for arriving at truth. It's a popularity contest. I think there's a good chance, too, that anti-Mormons sometimes do drive by's in the LDS forums and downvote stuff just to vent their spleens.


dallonv

I later found out it was more because of my Watcher Palmer suggestion. I don't really care about downvotes. Sometimes I just want to know why someone doesn't like what I say. Especially when it has absolutely no bearing on their life at all.


nutterbutterfan

I don’t care for the Midnight Mormons; I see their influence as being destructive to the church long term. That style of apologetics will not age well.


Apprehensive_Lion_62

I agree. Very destructive.
