14 SHOCKING New Church Leaders: YouTuber & ‘The Chosen’ Producer Join Council!

Could a popular YouTube personality with over 18 million subscribers suddenly shift focus to guiding youth in one of the world's fastest-growing religions? That's precisely what's happening as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints recently unveiled 14 new appointments to its Young Men General Council, bringing a surprising blend of modern media influence and diverse professional expertise to its leadership. Among these distinguished individuals is Luke J. Nichols, the creator behind the massive "Outdoor Boys" YouTube channel, who will now contribute to shaping guidelines and activities for young men aged 12 to 18 worldwide. Furthermore, Derral E. Eves, the co-founder and executive producer of the globally recognized religious TV series "The Chosen," also joins this influential council. These appointments, effective August 1, 2025, introduce a wide array of talents, from a criminal defense lawyer and a Harvard-educated professor to a financial consultant and a mining company overseer. This strategic move appears designed to infuse contemporary perspectives and digital savviness into the church's youth programs. Indeed, the council will assist the Young Men General Presidency in its vital role of inspiring and instructing bishoprics who lead local congregations. The inclusion of faith-based YouTubers and a major TV producer underscores a clear effort to connect with a new generation through familiar and engaging mediums. It's a fascinating development, demonstrating how a traditional institution is embracing innovative leadership to guide its youth in an increasingly digital world.
