Coby and Cory Cotton have made names for themselves with stunt YouTube show Dude Perfect, but for these brothers, faith comes first.
“The only answer to how it happened is God, because it doesn’t really make a lot of sense,” Cory told the “Jesus Calling” podcast of Dude Perfect’s start.
They, along with members Tyler, Cody and Garrett, started making YouTube videos “just for fun.”
“We went to sleep, and expected absolutely nothing. And to this day, I still don’t understand how this works, but I woke up to a phone call from GOOD MORNING AMERICA,” he said.
When it came time to see if Dude Perfect could be a full-time gig, Coby shared that the group “prayed about it” and decided to take that leap of faith.
“Those first couple of months, it felt like God was providing in some really cool ways. We signed our first couple of more significant brand deals that would end up lasting for a long time.” he continued. “And so, it was really awesome, and we had a blast figuring out how the whole thing could get off the ground.”

Cory added, “We are not perfect. I’m not a perfect dad. I’m not a perfect husband. We’re not perfect friends or business owners. But something Coby and I say all the time is, ‘Jesus is greater. He’s greater than anything.’”
“And so I think when I meet with Him in the morning and take my problems and try to find the peace in whatever situation that I’m dealing with, and try to center ourselves on, well, this is what the priority in life really is — if you’re not in the Word, or if you’re not in the devotional that’s pointing you to the Word, I think you’re missing out,” he said.
The members of Dude Perfect are committed to sharing their faith — their website states, “We’re about giving back, spreading joy and glorifying Jesus Christ.”
The group recently partnered with Amazing Life Foundation to create a VBS curriculum for 2027.
“We’ve teamed up with Amazing [Life] to bring your church the very best summer,” Dude Perfect shared in a video about its 2027 VBS, per ChurchLeaders. “And we’re gonna share all about our faith journey and what it means to be all in.”
Dude Perfect + VBS 2027. That’s the announcement. Amazing Life just changed kids ministry forever – and I am so honored to get to be part of it.
