Christian courses, ebooks, youtube channel: is it wrong to make money from the gospel?

[HSTV]

Hi everyone.

I want to make a youtube channel where I will talk mostly about the Bible and christian teachings.
I want to know whether it would be wrong for me to monetize my channel or not?

Also, I will write an ebook with christian content, does it need to be given freely or can I earn money from my ebook sellings?

I really do not know whether it is wrong or right.

There is a priest I like who has a site: search “cursos padre paulo ricardo”, I am not able to post links.
His site has many courses, but they are paid, so maybe it is not wrong?

Scripture is clear, a workman (or woman) is worthy of their hire.

It is not a sin to be paid for one’s work.

Your priest gets a paycheck

You can always take part of what you make and donate that money to Catholic Charities or some other agency.

Publishers produce and sell editions of the Bible. I have never heard anyone say this is wrong, and don’t expect to.

Welcome to the forum, HSTV. I personally wouldn’t worry about this. You may be thinking of those who have made a scam of religion as an easy way to bilk the masses of their cash. What you are doing is quite different. Disseminating knowledge takes time and resources. You are certainly able to recoup your expenses and be paid for your time.
