Good words, thank you. Yes, we need more good Christian YouTube content that isn't merely a repurposed sermon or worship service, not there's anything wrong with that. Millions of views happen on those church channels too, in fact. But the reality of content creation in the Christian world is this: who's going to fund the effort for high-value production, that comes with a high price tag? I know I'm happy to create content on a volunteer-basis that doesn't pay, but to reach larger audiences does almost always require monetizing or funding or both.

Totally agree. But yeah, production costs can get out of control if you're not careful. However, I would say it is easier than ever for an organization to spend less than a thousand dollars and have a great video setup. And plenty of individuals have done great work with no more than their iPhones and some intentional lighting!

I think there is plenty that can done that doesn't require a ton of investment, and then the production value/cost can scale up as necessary. Not everyone needs to have a pro-YouTuber-level setup just to get started.
