Looking back at 2019 and Forward to 2020 - Russell Moore

Well, let's take a look at your review for the 80 Robles YouTube. Well, let's get this over with Santa what do you think about my channel? Hmm? Well, it needs work. I have to go All right. Well, listen 2019 was a good year.

You listen. I I have I am NOT a full-time youtuber by any stretch of the imagination. But I really started my youtube channel in 2018. That's when it really started to grow and Wanted to do a little bit of comparisons because if you have supported me this year Whether it's been through Engagement, you know commenting a lot of you guys comment all the time.

I appreciate it I don't always get to respond to them, but I do appreciate it. A lot of you guys share my content as well I appreciate that. Also a lot of you guys hit the little like button. I Appreciate that if you are not subscribed to this channel, please Consider subscribing it helps me in the algorithm.

It helps this content to be seen by more people and also click the little notification bell. That'll always let you know every time I upload a new video. Because it's not as simple as just subscribing and then you you would think that that would be enough to see the videos that you Want to see but apparently YouTube thinks you need to click the notification bell as well.

So please do so if you have not done so already. Let's take a look here because This year again. This was a pretty good year as I said. It looks like if you if you look at this chart this shows you My views for the year and it kind of goes up and down as you can see you can see where people Had little pops of activity here.

These were like the most popular videos that I had but in general, you know My days were pretty consistent for the most part again. It's up and down. It depends on whether I dropped a video or not. What kind of video I dropped and things like that, but overall for the whole year in 2019 so far.

I've got 276 thousand views which for me is pretty good. And if you look It says here in the analytics that that is a 76 increase from 2018 2018. You might remember is when my youtube stamp channel really started taking off I did a few videos in 2017, but not enough to even make it worth it to talk about.

So in 2018, I had 157 thousand views so big increase there part of that is because I have more videos this year. The other part of that is because my videos have been seen by more people. Well, obviously because it's views anyway, uh.

Watch time total watch time has been up about a hundred percent. The total watch time for my videos if you count everybody together and how long they've watched the videos is 34 ,000 hours that to me is crazy 34 ,000 hours of watching.

Just a normal, you know regular Joe like me Rant and rave to the camera about social justice. I appreciate it. I do. I think I I think I'm pretty smart I think I've got something to offer here. But the fact that so many of you think so as well is a real blessing.

Anyway from last year 2018. We had about 17 ,000 hours something like that. So big increase there in 2019. Also when it comes to subscribers the increase here is a little bit more modest so we plussed about 1 ,700 subscribers.

Compared to last year, which I got I think it was 1 ,300 subscribers something like that. Which is an increase of about 30 year-over-year pretty good increase. I'm not sneezing at that at all. That's the number that I really want to improve going into 2020.

So hopefully again, if you haven't Subscribed to my channel, please go ahead and consider doing so and then as far as that goes take you through some of the most popular videos of the year the the most popular by far 9 ,600 views was social justice exposed that was a Comments regarding the the Shepcon Q &A the Shepherds Conference, you know.

That was a spicy Q &A and people really like to see what I had to say about that. The other content, I mean, let's just be honest My Southern Baptist Convention content is the most popular probably because there's so many Southern Baptists out there and people that care about Southern Baptist issues.

But yeah, you know next next most popular SBC. I beg you to stop following this man. That was a video about Russell Moore and his ridiculously Preposterously Weak wrist limp-wristed lame non-answer to a question about his old beliefs remember where he said, well, you know Complimentarianism, but actually that's not where he said that that was a different one.

Anyway, what the point is someone asked him about his previous patriarchy beliefs and he refused to answer. We also and there's two videos here about Beth Moore that were also pretty popular as well. 6 ,000 views.

5 ,000 views. I had a few others. They were right in that same range as far as views are concerned. So people are very interested in the Southern Baptist Convention and Beth Moore. I think we can definitely include the Founders Ministry trailer in that as well.

Although it's slightly different. And I think that that video gets so much, you know play because they edited the trailer if you remember they took out Rachel Den Hollander. I have the original trailer here.

It's probably the only place you can get it at least online. Where I comment about the trailer and all that kind of stuff. That's a very funny video. Especially considering what had happened since then so let's just be honest.

People like my Southern Baptist content. In fact, I heard from a reputable very very reputable Twitter source named Chris Bolt says every time he googles Southern Baptist issues on YouTube. He tries to find videos about anything Southern Baptist related.

My video has always come up so Mission accomplished there. Anyway, so so here's the thing. I'm trying to figure out, you know How to grow this channel in 2020 because I think that I should have more subscribers Than this.

I think I should have more than 3 ,000 let's see. Let's check it out here. Let's check it out 3 ,000 50 subscribers you look at let's take a look at Russell Moore because he's my first sort of Target to defeat let's check out Russell Moore's YouTube channel.

Russell Moore has 3 ,890 Subscribers, so he's beating me by about 800 900 subscribers, let's say I don't like that. I don't like that. I don't think his videos are very good. I don't think that people really like them at all.

Obviously. He's got a lot more name recognition than I do. But he's beating me by about 900 subscribers, I want to take him out in the YouTube category in 2020 listen, I mean look at these look at these videos.

He puts out these videos and you know for a guy who's in charge of the biggest organization the biggest Denominations Lobbying group the ERL see they've got so much money so much funding. I mean his videos don't get a ton of views.

My videos get about the same, you know 247 views 800 views a thousand views. You know that kind of thing it he had Ben Shapiro on he had Ben Shapiro on and he has like a thousand views on That channel on that video.

I mean man if I had Ben Shapiro on I'd probably have about a thousand as well. Look at a signpost with Ben Shapiro 1 .1 ,000 views that was three weeks ago. That's pretty sad man. That's pretty sad. Let's see, what is uh, let's see what his most popular.

Well, actually, let's check out a little bit more about his channel. So he's got. Listen to this listen to this. He's got a hundred thousand views on his YouTube channel. He started it this year. Okay, a hundred thousand views.

He started it this year. Let's go back to let me just may I remind you? May I remind you that I started my YouTube channel in 2018 and in 2018. I had 157 thousand views. I think I could take this guy out.

I really do. I think I could take him out. Listen to this. Listen to this. Listen his credentials here. Russell Moore is a president of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission as one of the nation's leading ethicists theologians and cultural commentators.

He's one of the nation's leading ethicists theologians and cultural commentators. I'm a dude in Vermont with You know with the Star Wars obsession The Wall Street Journal has called more a quote vigorous cheerful and fiercely articulate.

He was named in 2017 to Politico's magazines list of top 50 influence makers in Washington and Has been profiled by such publications as the Washington Post the New Yorker and National Review. His latest book the storm toss family how the cross reshapes the home was named Christianity today's 2019 book of the year.

This prestigious award was also conferred upon Moore's previous book onward engaging the culture without losing the gospel by Christianity today in 2016. It's quite an impressive resume. It's quite an impressive resume the nicest thing anyone's ever said about me on in print is in the New York Times and The woman said that I let I helped lead a small church in Rutland, Vermont.

That's my resume. You know, one of the things I've noticed is that the gatekeepers of Of anything really not big Eva's is no exception but gatekeepers they really hate it when people that have no credentials whatsoever Get any amount of attention popularity respect, you know that kind of thing.

They hate it. They really hate it, especially when not only do they have no credentials, but they also don't go through the official channels. This is one of the one of the reasons why I think that Doug Wilson gets a lot of hate from the intelligentsia.

Let's say it's because he didn't go to seminary. He didn't go to seminary and he did not go through their official channels that you they bring it up all the time. He didn't go to seminary and he didn't go into the official nay park like they hate that.

They do. They set up their guilds and they set up their their their their credentials and their qualifications and their and their approved Places of learning and stuff and if you don't go through that they don't they don't Understand why anyone gives you the time of day.

This is the intelligentsia. These are the gatekeepers. They hate that they really do. But anyway, yeah, this is the thing 2020. I have a prophecy for you all it is the year of vision. Yeah, this is what we're gonna do.

So so so so 2020 is gonna be a Banner year for the 80 Robles YouTube channel. We'll see. We'll see. I don't have any predictions. But I do think we're gonna grow. I think that it is very clear that the influence that People that are are having the courage to stand up to the social justice movements are having an impact on the higher echelons of the Southern Baptist Convention and the PCA.

Let me just give you all a warning I know that there are some of you probably some interns from the gospel coalition erl see that keep tabs on people like me. Not just me but people like me see what we're saying.

Let me let me just take this back to your bosses. Okay? We know what you're up to and There are people that are in your circles that talk to us and they don't like what's going on and Right now as you as you sit in your office with your cushy chairs and your and your Comfortable, you know temperature controlled Libraries and stuff like that as you sit Scheming on what to do next.

They are plotting these people in the high echelons of the SBC and in the PCA and in the erl See and in the gospel coalition. They are planning right now. How do I? Help fight this Social justice movement in a way that doesn't risk my career.

My mortgage payments my family and all that and guess what they're gonna figure it out soon. They're gonna figure it out and all will be exposed. Everything will be exposed. And Russell Moore you're gonna be exposed for what you're really all about.

It's just that simple. It's just that simple. And so watch out to 2020 is gonna be a big year. There's gonna be. Listen, a lot of the fighting has been behind the scenes to this point. A lot of the fighting has been relegated to the margins, you know.

Some some yokel from Vermont who helps lead a small church in Rutland Vermont, you know like me. This is where the fighting has been happening. Places like this on YouTube it's happening on the on the fringes of the internet, you know things that you can you can say.

Oh, that's just a discernment blog and you can you can kind of you know. Write it off and that kind of stuff get people to not pay attention. At least that's what you think you're wrong. But but that's what you think.

It's going on in places like you know, there's a few pastors here and there some apologists here and there you right now. You've gotten a long way by ignoring them. But you got to understand and I think you do understand this and just in case you don't let me explain it to you Russell Moore and the rest of you power brokers.

You can't contain this one. People are starting to recognize there's a disconnect between what you say and what they know the Bible says. People can people people people can see things with their own eyes.

They see what's happening to the Southern Baptist Convention. They see the March of Progressives. Coming in from places that they didn't expect they thought they were conservative. They thought they were stalwarts.

They see it and no amount of magic tricks and wizardry. If you know that reference wizardry, I like you. No amount of wizardry is going to Help to get people to not believe what they see happening before their very eyes.

So you have to know you can't contain this. It's gonna be open warfare soon. You're gonna have to go toe-to-toe with a lot of these people. The founders ministry stuff. This is this is just the beginning.

That was a great documentary and all you guys tried to destroy it. You tried to destroy Tom Askell's lies. We know what you did. We know what you did. That's just the beginning. There's more coming and I hope you're ready for it because I don't think that any amount of money can stop the March of the truth and you know why I know this because the truth is a person an Unbeatable person.

And so all the backroom dealings that you guys do you get people fired you ruin people's lives you try to get Ministries destroyed and stuff like that. We all see what you are up to no amount of money.

Influence none of that will stop the truth. Because the truth is a person we're not scared of you. Anyway, I hope that this was helpful. God bless. You know, I saw this tweet From Donald J. Trump at the time when it went when he tweeted it in 2016 and at the time I was not I was not a a Social justice warrior at this time.

I've never really been a social justice warrior. However, I have been influenced by it more so in the past than I am now. Anyway, I saw this tweet and I got defensive about this tweet. I didn't like that Donald J. Trump was was was saying this about an evangelical that was in the similar ish circles.

To where I was in I was seeing some of the problems a little bit a little bit. But still I got defensive about this at Russell Moore. Russell Moore is truly a terrible representative of evangelicals and all the good they stand for a nasty guy with no heart I admit to you right now, but I was a little defensive about this.

You know, I mean because as much as I was concerned with some of the stuff that I had seen and and some of it you know, I still I Had you know, I was defensive that's that's all I can say. But let me say Donald J. Trump was right.

He is a terrible representative of evangelicals and all the good that we stand for. Terrible Donald J. Trump was right. He might not have been right for the right reasons. Don't don't misunderstand me he might have been right for completely different reasons, but he was Right.

Now as far as the nasty guy with no heart, I don't know if he's nasty. Maybe I've heard some things. I've heard some things but that's neither here nor there. And no heart, I mean that's a little bit mean.

It's a little mean but I'll tell you right now. I'll tell you right now Trump was and is 100 right about dr. Russell Moore. In 2020, it's full-court press time. Let's just be honest about that and I hope that you're ready because I sure am.
