James introduces himself as a 17-year-old junior in high school from South Carolina. He explains that he started a YouTube channel to be a voice for teenage Christians in this generation. He wants to relate, help, and build a community for those who feel misunderstood by older generations. James shares that he has experienced living in two different worlds due to his parents' separation, but he wants to emphasize that sin doesn't define a person. He acknowledges that he is not perfect and faces constant spiritual warfare but wants to stay on the straight and narrow path. James expresses his passion for God and his desire to bring people together and spread positivity in a world with unsettling norms. He plans to create various types of content, including interviews, to provide different perspectives. James is excited about the channel's potential and appreciates the support. Hi, um, I'm James, um, I don't even know how to start a word, what's up guys, I'm James, um, and I don't know how to really start this, but, um, I guess this is just a little intro, uh, you know, why I'm, why I made this channel and what I plan to do with it, so, um, first of all, just about me, I'm 17, I'm a junior in high school, I live in South Carolina, and I love God, so, um, yeah, and I really wanted to make this, uh, channel because I really feel like, uh, you know, God put it on me to, um, you know, he just gave me this in my heart, it's just like, I feel like I'm supposed to, like, relate and help and, um, and just be a voice to teen Christians in this generation specifically, right, because a lot of the generations, you know, in the past, like our parents and stuff, they can give us, like, like, um, advice and stuff on God and different things in life, but it doesn't really hit the same, right, because they're, it was in their generation, that sometimes they don't understand the same struggles we go through, because we have internet access and we have so much stuff, and with all that stuff comes with a bunch of other things that, that we go through, and I, I just want to be that voice, and, um, I don't, I'm, I didn't really plan on making a YouTube channel, but I just, I, I randomly just, I, I just had this burning passion to do it, so I'm here, and I just, I just really love God, man, like, he's been so good to me, he's brought me through so much, I'll probably make a testimony video about my life and how I got, stuff I went through to get to God, but just as far as like a little, like, to sum it up, excuse me, um, I've always lived, I've always been living in double sides, you know, I, I, starting from, since my parents got separated, you know, I've always seen bad things at one parent's house and then good things at another parent's house, I was always raised in the church, but it was just picking which side to go on, it was like, I literally had to choose which one was like, when I go over there, that's the world, and when I come back, I'm back, I'm with God and I want to straighten the arrow, I, I want to just, I really want to, um, how can I say this, I want to let people know that just because you've made a sin or you've done something really bad and you feel like God can never forgive you for it or you feel like you've done too much wrong, I don't want you, I don't want people to feel like that their sin defines them, you know, cause you can sin, but that doesn't define you, and, um, cause I mess up all the time, like, I'm known in my school for being a super nice kid, Christian guy, you know, all that stuff, perfect dude, you know, but I'm not perfect, you know, I mess up a lot, I really do, and it's stuff that nobody sees, nobody sees behind the scenes, right, and, um, and it's constant spiritual warfare with, you know, me and fleshly desires, worldly stuff, like, it's so easy to fall back into those old ways, and it's really hard to stay on the straight and narrow, so I just, and also just build a community of people that want to be on the straight and narrow as Christians, you hear me, people in the comment section, uh, interact with each other and all that, I'm like, I'm just trying to bring everybody together, cause these times are so scary, like, the things going on in this world, and the things being normalized is so crazy, and I just, I just feel like God, you know, wants us to, to just be together, be in a group, even if it's not in person, at least it's through this screen, you feel me, and, um, yeah, I just, I'm really, as you can see, I'm really passionate about this, I love God, man, and I'm just so thankful for Him, and I'm blessed for the opportunities He's given me, everything that I have and what I've accomplished is literally because of Him, and the things that I've gone through in my life, the bad things, I don't regret, I'm glad it happened, because I know if I didn't go through those things, I wouldn't be half the person I am now, and I wouldn't be in front of you speaking right now, and, um, as far as the things that I look forward to doing with this channel, is, I'm not all just sitting here with a mic just talking to you, but, um, also just going out in public and maybe asking people questions, maybe just doing different things, you know, and it's going to help me too, because I don't be going out a bunch, so this will help me too, just to get out more, you feel me, and spreading the word, two in one, you feel me, so, um, that, and I'll probably, I plan on, when I get some, you know, more equipment and stuff, I plan on bringing more, like, people on here and interviewing them, and us just having that conversation back and forth, and, um, getting different respect just from different people, because I can't give you everything, I haven't gone through everything, and sometimes, um, God can speak through different people, and I feel like if I, the more people I bring on here, the more I'm helping you guys, you feel me, and myself, because everything that I tell you guys, every time I, even on my Instagram lives, like, everything that I say, and I'm just, and everybody's like, preach, you preach, but, I'm saying it to myself too, because I need it, and I feel like, um, sorry, hold up, okay, we good, um, because I be like, dang, like, some of this stuff I'm telling people I'm literally struggling with, like, some of this, I'm saying, don't do this, you know, because of this and this, right, so you gotta make sure to do that and that, I'm telling people, you know, how to get free from stuff, and I'm trying to get free from it as well, and I'm still stuck in it, so I, God, literally dropping bombs, dropping dimes on me in my head, and I'm telling myself, I'm telling other people, but I'm really telling myself, so, uh, as I digress, right, I'm just really excited for this, and see where this is going, I'm ready to, you know, just see some awesome people in here, ready for people to watch the videos, and, uh, I'm just, ready to see where this goes, man, so, I'm James, it was nice to make this video, uh, I'm not gonna edit this video as far as, like, lighting and, like, all that stuff, because this is just a little intro, I will on the next ones, but, for now, I just want y'all to see my face, make sure my stuff is working correctly, because it took, believe it or not, it took, like, two days just to get this stuff set up and working, so, and even still, this camera's propped up on my pillow, so, we got a lot more to do, but, you know, all in God's plan, so I appreciate y'all, love y'all, see y'all later.
