The Gospel stories are bullshit.
That's pretty much as brief a summary as I can offer, so you probably don't want to watch these videos. You might learn something and drop your faith.
To go into greater detail: The video series discusses all the ways the Gospel stories contradict each other, how they were changed over time, how they don't fit with history, why the alleged authors are not "reliable eye-witnesses", what this-or-that Koine Greek word actually means, etc. The author is clearly versed in both ancient Greek and what the earliest copies of scripture say as well in the ancient history in which Christianity was born.
Don't watch the videos. Just close your eyes, stick your fingers in your ears and keep humming "Jesus loves me, this I know" really loudly.
