This Is the Kind of Preaching We Need Again 🔥 #faith #god #jesus #christianshorts #motivation
What does Paul Bernard II post after a sermon clip called "They Don't Preach Like THIS Anymore…"? Another one, the next day, with a title that sounds like the reply: "This Is the Kind of Preaching We Need Again 🔥". The description names the preacher, Dr. Phil Kidd, and leaves everything else to the clip.
The new short drew close to 70,000 views in its first day. A new short on this channel usually stays under 3,000. The October 2 clip that started the pairing has kept climbing and is still well ahead of it. Shorts from the same few days, on God's timing, the cost of inaction and fantasies that hurt relationships, sit in the low thousands.
The comment section moved nearly seven times faster than on a usual first day, and it reads less like applause than testimony. The most liked comment comes from a viewer who remembers walking into church hungover more than once, and who is now sober. Another counts a few months without a drink and hopes to reach a year. Several say they want more pastors like this one, and one viewer answers with a line from Romans about welcoming one another as Christ welcomed you.
The channel describes itself simply as here to encourage viewers in Christ. Its two preaching titles, back to back, have done more of that work this week than anything else it posted.
