Queer Sacred Music

After the first video (of a 2025 concert), YouTube videos for my songs and hymns are listed alphabetically below. I have only included videos for which the musical quality is appropriate for worship broadcasting. Below the videos of hymns, rounds, and worship songs I have posted a couple of sermons, podcast interviews, and other public talks. Please email me at amanda@amandaudiskessler.com if you would like a video sent to you without the additional complications of YouTube, such as advertisements; I have mp4s of all of the below videos and am happy to share them.
