I think I can safely say that most everyone knows of Dude Perfect. Since I was a kid, I always enjoyed watching Dude Perfect and their trick shot videos. I always imagined what it would be like to shoot trick shot videos for a living. They have done an amazing job at capturing a large audience and keeping them for year to come. What some people do not know is that they are all very strong Christians. They may not explicitly state this throughout their videos, but it is pretty evident just by the standard they hold themselves too. In all of their videos, not once is their explicit language.
In today’s day and age, children are in front of a screen for hours a day. They are exposed to so much violence, explicit language, sex, and so much more evil that fills our world. Dude perfect has done a great job at showing a positive atmosphere for kids. They have become role models for so many children. Even though they are not praising the Gospel outright on their videos, they show kids what it looks like to lead a faith driven, positive life. They show that you don’t need sex, drugs, or alcohol to be happy. A solid group of friends that love the lord and are happy together goes a long way.
I have never heard of Dude Perfect, (I also never watched YouTube), but I need to get my brother to start watching these guys! With a little sibling, it is so true that the videos online can be so inappropriate for kids and yet so easy to access! But, not all channels are like that, and it’s great that you had a channel you loved as a kid and it wasn’t putting bad things into your mind.
Nick, great stuff on your post. Dude Perfect has been an awesome influence for so many families, and they create good, clean entertainment for many homes. I like how you pointed out that so much entertainment is dirty, so this is an awesome use of YouTube entrepreneurship. Great work!
I love that you wrote about Dude Perfect. I have never thought about them as a redemptive business but totally are. They don’t explicitly talk about God, but their positive and fun content is absolutely impacting kids lives in a positive way.
Gotta say, Dude Perfect is one of the greatest channels on YouTube. They are a solid group of guys, I totally agree with everything you said there. Everyone loves a good trickshot and these guys not only have fun but I think they point to a greater joy that can only be found in a relationship with Christ.
It’s always amazing to see how content creators show their faith without SHOWING their faith–we are called to be set apart, and Dude Perfect does a wonderful job at this considering they stand out from regular kid’s content AND adult content. Great work!
