School of Hard Knocks usually asks people how they got rich. Its biggest new upload asks whether getting rich and following Jesus can fit into the same life.

In "Can You Be Rich and Still Follow Jesus?", the channel interviews Pastor Philip Anthony Mitchell in Atlanta, asking why he believes in God, what he fears, and whether money is the root of all evil. Advice for younger people remains part of the format, but the conversation takes the familiar wealth question somewhere beyond business success. The upload has passed a million views and carries the channel's strongest daily momentum.

Viewers are picking up on that change of emphasis. Several discuss spiritual richness rather than financial wealth; others focus on the advice about obeying God and leaving the consequences to him. Some recognize both interviewer and guest, making this an unexpected meeting of two viewing worlds.

Faith runs through more of the week's interviews, too. Dr. Sonja's business story includes questions about belief and overcoming doubt, while an education entrepreneur discusses building a preschool business with his wife. Elsewhere, a Wall Street veteran and a former NBA player bring the conversation back to money lessons and the financial pitfalls athletes face.

The audience grew by roughly 20,000 subscribers over seven days, with daily views modestly above their usual level. Bloomberg News and Forbes are also drawing elevated daily audiences among nearby business channels.

Another interview gathering momentum features Anastasia Soare, founder of Anastasia Beverly Hills. The questions turn to standing out in beauty and finding motivation after financial success, another version of the channel's recurring question: what comes after making it?

  • Anybody else saw the switch in body language when he stopped talking about himself to when he started taking about Jesus? He really is rich in Spirit.
