Church Leadership Launches Personalized YouTube Channels to Share Messages of Hope

LDS Gospel January 14, 2026

SALT LAKE CITY — In a significant expansion of their digital outreach, every member of the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has launched an individual YouTube channel.

Since the initiative began in late 2025, Church leaders have been uploading a steady stream of content focused on the restored gospel. These dedicated pages provide a direct platform for the Apostles to share personal insights, doctrinal teachings, and messages of encouragement with a global audience.

The rollout marks a strategic shift in how the Church utilizes social media to reach individuals on a more personal level. By leveraging the world's largest video-sharing platform, leadership aims to make their testimonies more accessible to those seeking spiritual guidance in an increasingly digital world.

With a growing library of content now available, many members and observers are already identifying specific videos that resonate during difficult times. The initiative raises a poignant question for viewers:

if you could share just one of these apostolic messages with a friend in need of hope, which would it be?
