Bible answers for our messy lives
Real Life Bible is a YouTube channel for women with entertaining, theologically deep gospel content.
I combine Bible teaching with vlog-style storytelling to answer questions I’m facing in my own life.

Partner with me in Digital Mission
My mission (God willing) is to grow a YouTube channel of 100,000+ subscribers within 5 years (this equates to approx. 10 million views per year)
My goal is to post a long video every week and a half and 3 shorts weekly for the 3 year start-up period. Youtube usually takes 100-200 videos for decent growth to kick in.
Each long-form video takes approx 10 days to make working full time (to research, write, film, edit and market a video)
In this start-up phase YouTube doesn’t provide any income, and I am doing YouTube instead of paid work
Your support would help me pay our bills and enable me to hire a video editor (working remotely) to take up some of the workload.
There's a huge market gap for this content...so could you prayerfully partner with me to get this new ministry up and running?
The Big Why
Christians need a voice in mass media
Christians in Australia lack representation in mainstream media, but a Christian worldview in this area is crucial for local evangelism, political change, and social justice. To this end I am focusing on utilising social media to build a voice and inspire other Christian content creators.
Social media is hugely influential at an individual level
YouTube channels create tangible communities in their niche. It's both a privilege, a responsibility and a huge opportunity to be able to reach people in such a potentially powerful and influential way.
3 Current Opportunities
1. Huge Unserved Audience
29 million hours are watched on YouTube by Australian women aged 25-45 monthly. Many are Christian or Christian friendly.
Female Bible teaching channels are very rare, leaving a large unserved audience who are looking for content that speaks to their needs and interests.
2. AI Digital Revolution
Camping with Koalas
New Testament Shipwreck
AI art generators offer a game-changing opportunity for small creators.
I'm using them to create photorealistic cinematic images in seconds, aiding visualisation of stories.
3. Immensely Powerful Marketing System
70% of YouTube content is browsed not searched. YouTube will actively promote your video to more viewers if others watched and liked it.
Right now YouTube is heavily promoting Shorts which accelerate channel discovery
Used rightly, YouTube is a great platform to reach unchurched audiences.
Bio
I’m Zoe, I recently emigrated from the UK to Australia and my life has been pretty crazy. So I’m opening up my Bible to find answers to a million questions and challenges I have. Last time I was in Aus I was at Bible college for 4 years. I've also worked as a TV producer. But now I’m dusting off my commentaries and Calvin (on second thoughts, maybe Calvin a step too far) because I really believe everything we need for life and godliness is there in the Bible. In it our heavenly father is sharing his divine power with us (2 Peter 1: 3). We’ve just got to get our Bibles out and start listening…
My first words of wisdom
HOW TO TEACH THE BIBLE 101:‘As Paul spoke on and on, a young man named Eutychus, sitting on the windowsill, became very drowsy. Finally, he fell sound asleep and dropped three stories…’ Acts 20:9MENTAL NOTE: copy Paul in many ways but not in this.
