The Mark of Mr Beast

The world’s biggest YouTuber has more than a quarter of a billion followers and is one of the most influential people on earth. Should Christians be thrilled that he’s putting radical generosity in the spotlight? It’s complicated…

An elderly man has fallen into financial difficulty and is about to be made homeless. A family friend contacts another man – an influential internet star with a penchant for public shows of generosity. In apparently no time at all, a film crew are documenting what happens when this influencer offers his assistance…and hands the pensioner keys to a brand-new apartment. No strings are attached, apart from consenting to allow the story to play out on millions of screens around the world, along with the click-attracting title: I Gave A Homeless Man A Home.
