Updated Catalog of Unofficial Pro-LDS YouTube Channels

[Stargazer]

Pro-LDS YouTube channels

 

Cataloging Pro-LDS YouTube channels is a recent hobby of mine. These channels are not officially associated with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but are independent efforts. I try to update this list as I find more. These are not the "official" church channels. I will continue to update the list on my personal webpage, so in the future if you want to see if I've added any, you can check here: https://www.mikeclark.co/index.php?title=Pro-LDS_YouTube_channels

This current list includes 196 channels(that's 35 more than when I last updated in March). Sorry there's no description of each of them -- I haven't figured out how to include that kind of information without overbearing the table!

This list was last updated on 31 May 2026 - It's sorted by number of subscriptions in descending order. I've reviewed the sub and video counts, so they should be fairly accurate at this point.

This list was last updated on 11 November 2025 - It's sorted by number of subscriptions in descending order. Most of these subscription counts have not been revisited since I entered them in the original spreadsheet, so there will be inaccuracies.

Well done on creating this list 👍.

[rpn]

Thanks.

[BlueDreams]

Quite the list!

You're missing 2 that I frequent quite a bit that are fairly big:

Come back podcast (37.8 subscribers)

Faith Matters (23.6k Subscribers)

Again, this list is more exhaustive than I would have been able to make....but thought you'd like 2 more. 

[Chum]

That's a heck of a thing. I think I can feel the catharsis that was present during creation.

Yes, I would, and thank you very much! It happens that when I read your post it seemed to me that I had seen both of these before. The Come Back Podcast has now been added to my spreadsheet. The Faith Matters channel I had already catalogued, but under the "Ark Steadiers" tab of the spreadsheet, which I haven't published. This classification was based on the content of some of the videos I saw on their channel. But perhaps I was too hasty?

I haven't been making a systematic search for LDS content; I've just caught them as the YouTube algorithm has been throwing them at me. 

But to start out, I did do a bit of a search. I commented in a post here some months ago that after a few years enjoying making content for my little YouTube channel about the places I've seen here in England (A Yank in Sussex), I had the idea that maybe I could make a pro-LDS channel. But of course, one doesn't do this kind of thing without seeing what has already been done. So I looked for that which was already being done and was shocked to see many more such channels than I expected. And then, you know how the YouTube algorithm works: they will serve up more of what you're already looking at, so now I get more as time goes on. Previously I wasn't spending my YouTube time looking at church-related content, except occasionally FAIR and the official church channel. 

What my search did was to convince me that there are so many high-quality channels already running that there doesn't seem to be a point in my chiming into the chorus. There was one happy accident in being able to reconnect with an old acquaintance of mine, a young man who was my home-teaching companion for a few years before he served his mission, who was actively involved in helping produce some of the channels I found, especially Ward Radio and Thoughtful Faith.

The creation has actually been gradual. After a short deliberate search to see what was already out there (because as I told Blue Dreams I was thinking of starting a YouTube channel myself with church content), the YouTube algorithm started feeding me more channels, and I decided to catalogue them as a hobby. I find a few new ones every week, mostly little channels now. Although "Messages of Christ" popped into my feed only recently, and it's the largest channel in my list in terms of subscriber count. It came later probably due to not being specifically pro-LDS, but deals entirely with the Bible with no mention (as far as I've seen) of Latter-day scripture. But the channel description reveals who's behind it: "*A Scripture Central Production*". Scripture Central is very much pro-LDS. Very sneaky!

Probably so. Personally I think "ark steadier" is too much of a judgment call. It would be like If I pulled a few of the channels I'm not as much of a fan of and categorized them as "rigid thinkers" or "culture as gospel saints." Pro-lds to me sounds more neutral and fits the overarching banner of folks who ascribe positively within an LDS framework. Both of the sites I mentioned definitely fit that. Faith matters is run by active members (as far as I can tell) who quite often bring in other active members of the faith who tend to be more intellectual in nature (think Terryl/Fiona Givens, Carol Lynn pearson, Jennifer finlayson-fife, Patrick mason, etc). It may not be your specific cup of herbal tea. But it's still within the wide umbrella of participating church members IMHO.

There really are and it seems to have really blossomed over the last couple of years.

I know about that channel, but didn't add it because its premise was not specifically pro-LDS. It's in my spreadsheet under the tab "Is LDS". This is for channels whose creators are Latter-day Saints but whose content isn't specifically advocating for the Church. I only have four entries, which are: Gwowls; 52 Churches in 52 Weeks; Falter Media; and Shadiversity.

52 Churches may graduate to the Pro-LDS list eventually.

Ark-steadying in the context of my list consists of channels that contains content that denies or contests canonized doctrines of the Church. Which Faith Matters does. Not all the time, or even most of the time, but often enough for my purposes. For example, they have devoted five recent videos to plural marriage. And much of the discussion goes down the route of denying that plural marriage (specifically D&C 132) was a true doctrine of God, but was an invention borne out of the patriarchy.

Understand that I believe there is a place for this kind of discussion, but my list consists of Pro-LDS channels whose purpose is to advocate for and defend the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Not ones that attempt to steady the ark of the Church by denying the divine origin of canonized doctrines. Which plural marriage is, regardless of anyone's personal opinion.

Now, please note that I am not going to discuss the topic of plural marriage here. It's off-topic for the thread, it's been beat to death in General Discussions, and my opinion on the subject, if expressed, invariably causes several people to pile on top of me at once. I just don't see the utility of my discussing it, especially since it gets hot and heavy, and if the Spirit were present in the discussion, it flees very quickly once the hot-headedness enters. I don't need it.

My personal search for Pro-LDS YouTube channels has been a great boon to my understanding of the gospel. For example, here is a very inspirational video concerning an instance of the gift of tongues (experienced in a very different manner from that which we usually hear). If I hadn't have been served this by YouTube's algorithm, it possibly wouldn't have come to my attention:

It's your list with your own choices. But I think there's a difference between something you do for yourself and something you share with others. I can see your point of view but think for a general list for others, it absolutely fits the definition. Of course I also enjoy their channel, even when I disagree with them. I find it comfortably in the Pro-lds side of things. People do latter-day saint differently but in also "pro" sort of ways. This channel is the epitomy of that to me. To me disagreement and even fleshing out arguments for or against a view isn't "ark steadying." That would take more proactive and consistent pushes than what i've seen on that channel. 

Ps. I don't really go into polygamy discussions at all. So it's not much of a temptation to debate it. But I have listened to almost all of their recent discussion on that. All I will say is that I usually disagree enough with common views on it that I've seen. Both more LDS conventional and less so. I also just don't care that much, since it doesn't have much effect in my worship or beliefs one way or another.

What is interesting to me is that the interpreter was not given the Swedish version he needed to give to the Swedish members, but only the English one and he was left to translate what he understood…which may have been different from what another translator experiencing the same thing might have ended up with.

Makes me wonder why the visual text wasn’t in Swedish, why did God want the translator to be involved in the translation, not just reading a given version?

I wondered that, too. It seems to me that he might have wondered why, himself, but he didn't speak of it. Perhaps it was important that the English version remain the "authoritative" text, while a Swedish version given by the Spirit would have seemed to override President Lee's own words, and not respected his position as prophet?

Or since it was used later as a possible example of what Joseph experienced, it followed the same pattern…given the meaning while he was left to put it into words of his choice.

And reminiscent of how we liken the scriptures to ourselves, though without as great of an understanding of the original text.

I've updated the original table as of 17 March 2026 so it should be fairly accurate at that point. Adding this post to move the thread to the top.

Another update to the table! There are about 35 more channels in the table than when I last updated. See the original post above.

Awesome list, I didn't notice this thread prior to today (I have a lot going on).  Thank you for compiling it.

I didn't realize that this board will let you edit a post so many months after posting it.  How does it let you do that?  My experience has been that it generally removes the ability to edit a post after 24 hours.

My pleasure! 

I copy the table from a page on my personal wiki and paste it into the post. The entry on my personal wiki is at: https://www.mikeclark.co/index.php?title=Pro-LDS_YouTube_channels

The table on my personal site is sortable, so is slightly more useful.

I don't know how you gained that impression, actually. I've gone back to edit my posts months later (just tried it on an April post). The only time you can't edit your own post is if you've been banned from the thread (which means you can't even see it), or if the thread has been closed to further replies.

Wow, he's got his work cut out for him! Presumably he's restricting himself to the US, where there are currently 208 dedicated temples. If he tries to expand to international, it could get quite expensive!

I remember when one of my cousins decided to go on temple visiting spree. Because she lives in Utah, and I live in England, I don't see her very often. And when she came to visit the London Temple (where I was at the time an ordinance worker) I happened to be visiting the US!

He can probably get at least 20 of them in Utah alone, and another 5 or so each in Idaho and Arizona.  But you are right, it's an ambitious project.

Iirc, Social don’t automatically lock after a certain number of months.  Not sure the main forum does anymore. 
 

editing can sometimes seem restricted as it says “this post can no longer be edited”, but if you wait a few minutes, generally you can then try to edit again and it lets you in…or it does me.
