Videos for the Weekend: Songs, Hippos and “Think for a Minute”!

This Friday, we pulled together a few videos from around YouTube for young and old(er)!

For the Young:

ApologetiX – Baa! We’re Lambs (parody of “Barbara Ann” by the Beach Boys) Simple, truth based lyrics with simple, cute lambs.

Hip Hip Hooray – Hippopotamous by Mary Rice Hopkins Get ready to have this song stuck in your head for weeks. Presents the creation story and praises God’s good work… plus there is hippo dancing.

For the Young Adult:

These three “Think for a Minute” videos are just a sampling of what we found on Apologetics Canada’s YouTube page. Each is well made and takes a brief look at some question that Christian apologetics seek to answer. Their website offers some valuable resources as well.

Does God Exist?

What is Evil?

Is Jesus God?
