I’ll tell you who I mostly listen to these days. Mufti Abu So-and-so? Sheikh Whatsitface? Nope, none of these.

My YouTube channels of choice are currently Kris Harbour, Darren the Builder, Bourbon Moth, Dave2D, DIY Perks, Drew Builds Stuff and Marius Hornberger.

Nothing much to do with my life at all, but still their output enthralls me. Something which cannot be said for many of the apparently religious channels which teem online.

Actually, sometimes I think these labourers get the intent of religion better than any of us. The work ethic and honesty of Darren and Kris, for example, tells us far more than any lecture possibly could. I’ll gladly watch their videos for hours on end.

But long winded podcasts or confrontational debates? No thanks. What has always appealed to me is a practical faith. I will always follow those who lead by example. An example those overexcited men so impressed by their own performances refuse to set.

By now, my preferences are well known. I follow those whose words sit easy with my heart. As for all the rest? To me, it is just noise. I’d rather watch some redneck mowing somebody’s yard for free.
