Useful Links and References:
Since starting to build this website, I have been very pleased to find a variety of sources of Christian reflection, discussion, and references on YouTube and the internet.
These generally go into much greater detail than I have included on this site, but they may be helpful as you to dig deeper into questions of faith and the modern church.
If you have other links you would like to share, please suggest them in the Contact page.
I have found many YouTube channels to be divisive rather than constructive, so I have omitted many sites. While they may also have some interesting information, I found those that tend to be dogmatic in detail tend to miss the overall principles.

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. These examples may catch people’s attention, but when used as worship they may be a barrier to hearing the truth.

Richard Dawkins is well known for his promotion of atheism, but John Lennox is not so famous. 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.
