Hi Dennis. The fact that youtube denied your application is a good thing.
The Word of God with ads is a recipe for disaster. It will distract the viewer and the ads that play on your channel will more than likely be inappropriate and will lead people away. As a test, I just went to a Christian channel that has their videos optimized. At the beginning of the first video I viewed, there was an advertisement for an online class with the following description:
“How to Tune Into Your Spiritual Energy to Empower Your “Real World” and Live in Duality…Learn FOUR Powerful Yet Simple Energy Techniques To Tap Into Your Spiritual Body So You Can Easily Fine Tune Your Physical World For More Health, Wealth, Love, Inner Peace and Clarity.”
As you can see, this is a path you don't want to go down Brother.
If you are looking to reach more people, you need to optimize your videos better for search. Things like adding a good description, tags, title, transcripts, can make a big difference. There are inexpensive apps available that can help with optimization.
With love,
Ralph
