"Things That I'm Afraid Of" by Josh Wilson (ASL cover)

Details

Description

Do you ever have one of those days when you see one of your favorite artists has dropped a new single, so you listen to it, and then you're like "Okay God, you didn't have to call me out like that..."? And also, as you're listening, you think, "I NEED TO SIGN THIS." (That one's just me? Okay.) Anyway, this past week or so has been really difficult for several people I know - dealing with medical problems, anxiety, uncertainty about work, etc. There's just a lot happening to the people around me. So, this song is dedicated to all of them (and all of you watching who need a reminder that God is SOOOO much bigger than whatever you're facing).

PLEASE NOTE: I do not own the rights to this song. I made this video because I believe everyone should be able to experience the beauty of music, whether they're hearing, deaf, or hard of hearing. No copyright infringement intended.

Also, I make videos both as a ministry (sharing my love of music with people who might not otherwise get to experience it) and as a way to challenge myself and continue growing my skills as an interpreter. They are not intended to be teaching tools, and I encourage people not to try to use my videos as a way to learn to sign. ASL is a rich, complex language with its own syntax and culture that cannot be learned by simply copying music videos. If you are interested in learning (which is fantastic!), I encourage you to contact your churches, local colleges, businesses, etc. to learn if there are any classes or Deaf functions in your area. I am happy to provide resources, answer simple questions, and even take requests sometimes, but I do not do tutorials or teaching videos out of respect for Deaf culture. I encourage everyone to learn to sign, but it is critical to learn from a real-life person you can interact with. This format is not conducive to effective teaching, as I cannot interact with my viewers. Thank you for your understanding. Best of luck to anyone who wants to learn to sign, and I hope you continue to enjoy my other videos!
