Useful Links and References:
I have been very pleased to find a variety of sources of Christian reflection, discussion, and references on YouTube. If you have links you would like to share, please send me those details to be included here.
I have also found many YouTube channels to be divisive or dogmatic rather than constructive, so there are many sites that are not suitable.
Lectio365 – as outlined by Brandon in announcements
info . . .
Here is an extract from Brandon’s email of 19th February:
Lent began yesterday – Ash Wednesday… but it is not too late!
If you are interested in engaging in Lent this year, James van Loon is encouraging people to consider using the Lectio365 app. You can see a video explaining more about it here: Wisdom in the Desert: Lent 2026 with Lectio 365 For more resources click here. I watched the video on St Anthony yesterday – very interesting.
C S Lewis — Mere Christianity: from NTS Library
info . . .
Mere Christianity is a Christian apologetical book by the British author C. S. Lewis. It was adapted from a series of BBC radio talks made between 1941 and 1944.
Life’s Difficult Questions and Christian Belief website
info . . .
This website is another major project I am working on when I can find free time. It aims to provide:
- a discussion forum for life’s difficult questions that this world has no answers for;
- a set of readings to explore what the bible tells us about these questions;
- an explanation of summaries of Christian belief as contained in the creeds and other statements of faith that people have constructed;
- a collection of personal reflections I have prepared over the years.
Our website for the Friday 2pm group was set up as a subdomain of this website, so the web address is similar.

Worshiptainment
info . . .
Matthew Everhard has produced a series of YouTube videos warning about this trend, and a book entitled, “Worshiptainment; The Modern Church’s Golden Calf”.
An early pioneer of the trend was Robert Schuller, with his Crystal Cathedral and the Hour of Power television broadcast, but this led to some bizarre examples which Matthew shows in those videos. I think these examples may have some value when used as outreach to catch people’s attention, but when used as worship they may be more of a barrier to hearing the truth.
John Lennox and Richard Dawkins discuss the existence of God: YouTube
info . . .
Richard Dawkins is well known in the media for his promotion of atheism. John Lennox is not so famous, but he is becoming famous as people have uploaded videos of his talks on YouTube. He is retired as a Professor of Mathematics at Oxford University, a bioethicist, and Christian apologist, and has written many books on religion, ethics, and the relationship between science and God. Videos of his talks are located in various sites on YouTube, and can be found by searching for his name.
