Ministering to end times fears.

I’ve been talking with Christians who are heavily influenced by YouTube prophecy channels claiming that current economics and technology signal the imminent end of the world. I’ve reminded them that Christians have been anticipating the end since the first century and that Scripture warns against trying to predict dates, but the fascination persists.

For those who’ve dealt with this in your congregations or communities: what approaches have helped you address this fear? What things could they watch on YouTube instead? And what alternative resources have you found that redirect people toward a healthier, more Christ-centered outlook?
