Pro-LDS YouTube Channels

[Stargazer]

Just for the fun of it, I thought I would start this topic for folks who want to share pro-LDS YouTube channels they run into. As some of you are aware, as a hobbyish activity I've been cataloging them as I find them. So far I have 196 channels in my catalog.

So to start out, here's a brand-new channel I just found today: Latter-Day Try-Hards. It's been posting only since 29 December 2025, and at this moment has only 68 subscribers. Here's one of their earliest videos, which is called "Don't Bury Your Gifts and Talents....OR ELSE!"

Since I like to overdo things sometimes, here's another one I just found today. It's mostly a music channel, all in Brazilian Portuguese, and the songs are really brilliant. The name of the channel is "Jovens da Igreja de Jesus Cristo" or "Young people of the Church of Jesus Christ" I posted one of their videos already in @poptart's Music Thread. But at the time I didn't realize they were LDS-related until I finished listening to this video here, when the Church logo popped up! The use of the logo makes me think the channel may be an official channel of the Church, but the channel information is a little equivocal:

"Welcome to the official channel of the Youth page of The Church of Jesus Christ! A channel created especially to uplift, entertain, and guide young people around the world based on the teachings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Here you will find music from The Church of Jesus Christ, the Youth Mutual CD, stories from Mormon missionaries, broadcasts with the Area Presidency, and much more! Formerly the “LDS Youth” channel." 

The title of this video in English is: "Faith : Young people of the Church of Jesus Christ".

Hi Stargazer. Just wanted to say, I think you are doing a great job of getting all this together. Well done. 👍

Okay, here's a new one: Covenant Fire.

This video is his newest (as of today), and because of the thumbnail (a missionary baptizing a skeletal corpse!) I first took it as an anti-LDS video and channel. Until I started watching, that is! I think the thumbnail is a clever troll, designed to attract eyeballs.

Is it pitched to members or nonmembers?  Because if the former, isn’t that using outrage to get clicks?

Makes more sense with nonmembers as curiosity would be a stronger driver.

As this was his first video I saw, I commented on this, saying:

"By the way, when I first saw the video's thumbnail (a missionary baptizing a rotting corpse) I thought it might be an anti-Mormon video. But then I watched it, and wow, no it wasn't! And both the thumbnail and video title will definitely attract more eyeballs."

His response: "that is the point, You need to know how to make click bait thumnails. Ive been doing this for two years and its only in the last few months that ive gained traction. For a lot of reasons."

I have found that the competition for eyeballs leads to even highly popular channels resorting to click-baity thumbnails and titles.

Here's a new-to-me channel that is actually fairly popular if judging by subscriber count (59.8k), but since it originates in Colombia and is in the Spanish language, it's possibly something that wouldn't come up via the YT algorithm for English-language viewers. But many of their videos have been auto-dubbed into English, so here we go. If you get this video in Spanish and you don't understand the language, hit the "Settings" icon and select the English dubbing.

The channel is "Canal Lamanita," or Lamanite Channel! Here's a recent video in their "Come, Follow Me" series. In Spanish, "Ven, Sigueme." The video opens with a song that I found particularly moving. I think the song was written specifically for the channel:

I liked this song so much that I had to transcribe the lyrics and run them through Google Translate. 

Spanish: Cuando el mundo pierde calma y el fe quiere temblar, hay palabra eternas que nos vuelven a levantar. Hay respuestas escondidas en las paginas de dios, y el luz que sigue viva hablando corazon. Ven, sigueme. Cristo hoy nos llama otra vez. Entre dudas y tormentas, El nos quia con Su luz y Su poder. Inspiraciones que alimentan el alma y la fe... con Nydia Vera apredemos juntos a escuchar la voz de Aquel que vive hoy y nos vuelve a sostener. Cada historia, cada enseñanza, nos acerca mas a El... porque el Evangelio cambia vidas ayer, hoy y para siempre. Ven sigueme. Hay esperanza en Su verdad... Inspiraciones de Ven, Segueme... un camino de luz, de fe, y eternidad.

English: When the world loses its calm and faith begins to waver, there are eternal words that lift us up again. There are answers hidden within God's pages, and a light that remains alive, speaking to the heart. Come, follow Me. Christ calls us again today. Amidst doubts and storms, He guides us with His light and His power. Inspirations that nourish the soul and faith... with Nydia Vera, we learn together to listen to the voice of the One who lives today and sustains us once more. Each story, each teaching, draws us closer to Him... because the Gospel changes lives—yesterday, today, and forever. Come, follow Me. There is hope in His truth... Inspirations from "Come, Follow Me"... a path of light, faith, and eternity.

So, it seems that the video series is following along with a presenter, Nydia Vera, and the song was composed especially for the channel. It seems like the music and the video might have been created using that AI song app that @ZealouslyStriving uses.

Here's a relatively new LDS-related channel called LDS Teaching Toolbox.

This one is kind of special to me because the man behind the channel, Timothy Laine Carver, was a missionary in my own mission when I served in the Central German Mission, later called the Germany Düsseldorf Mission, and no now longer a mission. We did not serve as companions, but were for a time in the same missionary district in the city of Wuppertal, Germany.

Here's the channel's most recent video:

Here's another channel from a person I know personally. He is Austin Falter, and he was a member of my old ward in the US, and for a couple of years was my home-teaching companion before he went to serve his mission. Austin has also shown up in some other LDS-related YouTube channels, such as Ward Radio. Austin's dad Daren was my family's home teacher (along with Austin's younger brother) during the time I lost my wife to cancer and helped me cope with that event.

I just posted this in the News section, but it is sad that we just lost a Pro LDS YouTube channel content provider on Friday.  It was Chandler David Hendry, the founder of the Restored Truth podcast on YouTube:

Religious podcaster dies in Lehi multi-vehicle crash

It's sad to see any young life taken away like that.

This is the Restored Truth channel:  https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Restored+Truth+podcast

There's the Scriptural Mormonism channel by Robert Boylan.  He recently did a video regarding the "God Loves Mormons" channel:
