Hi, The Editor here...
We recently asked you about the direction our spin-off channel - something for the 'rest of us' should take.
And we heard you loud and clear.
Because of the drama of the last week, Claire is going to take on a smaller role on new channel, providing topics and themes but not presenting.
So, instead, you can join me - The Editor - over at "Turns Out, Life's Weird" where we will discuss... many many things. I hope to see you there.

Here's the channel description:
TURNS OUT, LIFE'S WEIRD. Unfiltered, cynical commentary on chaos from the neuro-divergent, über-opinionated mind of The Editor. We use dark humor to examine life's absurdity & daily observations on relationships (dating, family, & parenting), religion, & politics. This is a space for honesty, critical thinking, & a constant willingness to reconsider everything.
The Editor's unique perspective—informed by raising an autistic daughter & a deaf-comedian-in-training son - addresses life's massive challenges.
Our visual mood is inspired by Brutalist Architecture - a perfect metaphor for the weird, structured mess of the modern psyche. The Editor appears via a unique, glitch-disguised format, reflecting the ambiguous nature of truth. This is the home for high-contrast satire that leaves you to decide what's serious & what's absurd. If the world feels broken, subscribe for the most cynical take on why Life's Weird.

💡 Poll: What Should "The Rest of Us" Channel Look Like?
Children's Messages is flourishing, but we've been developing a big idea: a spin-off called "The Rest of Us Messages Channel" (the name is secured!).
Today, the idea grew. We're now considering making the new channel the home for inspirational, thoughtful, and inclusive content that goes beyond traditional church messages.
Our editor, Daniel, encouraged me (Claire) to share my own life stories and insights. I immediately countered, insisting Daniel shares his, too—from raising neurodivergent/deaf children to his varied career experiences!
We need your vote to determine the channel's future and content mix. Should we launch, and if so, what kind of content are you most interested in?
(we were unable to edit the old wordy poll and have had to double up - the other values are noted)

My new release will appear on streaming platforms during the next few days. But you will hear it here first on an upcoming video.
It is a new version of the classic and beloved hymn Be Thou My Vision with lyrics that have been adjusted to modern English to help it become more understandable to children and adults alike.
I hope you will love the result of the rewrite and production as much as my girls and I do.

I do really hate having to write this post because as it says in Proverbs 21:19: "Better to live in a desert than with a quarrelsome and nagging woman", but...
As you may have seen in the comments area on some videos, my channel manager has let me know that some of the comments are potentially inappropriate and so we have removed them. We will continue to remove them in the future.
We are so happy to bring you these wonderful messages and hope to be able to do so for years to come. My manager (who knows what he talks about) has warned that YouTube may see such comments and mark the channel for deletion if inappropriate comments are made and not managed.
So please, don't make inappropriate comments because you are only creating more work for us - which will mean we don't have enough time to add more videos - AND you put the channel at risk.
Help us to keep spreading these good messages.

Welcome to @ChildrensMessages, a global digital library of the most inspiring & clever Children's Messages.
This channel was born from my journey as a young, widowed mother searching for messages of faith to share with my daughters. My search led me to collect the best ideas from thousands of church services. This curated collection is designed to help parents, grandparents, & educators find high-quality, meaningful wisdom to share the love of Jesus & God.
We hand-pick and share interdenominational children's messages to spark creativity and provide fresh ideas for teaching kids.
FAIR USE NOTICE: Chosen videos are published for purposes of education, commentary, and archival, falling under the established principles of Fair Use.
Important: If your content has been shared and you have valid concerns regarding the privacy or safety of the original creators or church members, please contact us immediately for prompt de-listing.
