I want to front load this post by making something abundantly clear. I am not complaining about my channel nor am I feeling sorry for myself. If you leave this post with that impression, that is something that you have projected onto me. There is a broader point that I am trying to make with this post.
This is a graph showing my daily subscriber count. Yesterday, I posted a video with some thoughts on the political assassination of Charlie Kirk. On the graph, you can see that the result (which I kind of expected) was a mass exodus of subscribers from the channel from the moment that I posted the video. In other words, people saw me express a point of view that didn’t perfectly line up with theirs and felt that nothing else that I’d ever say or show was worth their time.
This is the kind of thinking that we have to get away from. I am a Christian, but I have close friends who are atheists or who are opposite if me politically. We disagree on many fundamental issues regarding faith and politics but I can tell you that I would drop everything and go to them if they were in need and I could help. We can’t be afraid of ideas and opinions that differ from ours. We can disagree. We can debate. But at the end of the day, all of us are still image bearers of God. It was likely the dehumanization of Charlie Kirk that contributed to his death yesterday.

I watched most of the video.
I know why his subscribers bailed.
He’s better off.
I've watched some of his videos. He does a good job and not political at all, at least in the ones I've seen.
Since he has done a lot on the Civil War, I can see why he did one on Kirk's assassination.
I subscribed.
