Trent Ellis sets aside the hunting jokes to pray for viewers

A direct-to-camera prayer brought an unusually busy comment section, with viewers discussing faith and returning to church.

Trent Ellis Story of November 9, 2026Trari Newsroom

Why this story? The video drew 773 comments in its first day, 24 times a normal first day on this channel (32).

At the end of the video I said “that”, I meant “Him”.

No sketch this time. Sitting outdoors at a table, Trent Ellis looks into the camera and says, "I know this is probably weird, but I'm gonna pray for you."

For a creator whose recent comedy includes a hired cameraman forgetting to film the deer, it is a change of pace. Ellis bows his head and asks God to comfort whoever is watching, particularly people feeling lost or unsure where to turn. He prays that they find peace through Jesus Christ and strength to climb out of difficult circumstances.

The Short drew roughly 770 comments in its first day, about twenty-four times his usual response. Its views were ordinary for the channel; the conversation was not. Among the replies are accounts of trying to reconnect with faith and starting to attend church again. Others pick up on his hesitant introduction, telling him there was nothing strange about offering a prayer.

Faith is not a departure from how Ellis describes himself: his channel introduction puts his love of laughter and hunting alongside a wish to live a life that glorifies God.

After the prayer, he makes one pointed contrast. Answers will not come from ChatGPT, he says, before lifting a Bible and tapping it. His final spoken reference is to "that," but the upload's title supplies his correction: "At the end of the video I said 'that', I meant 'Him'."
