00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:10.600
All right, welcome, welcome, welcome.

2
00:00:10.600 --> 00:00:11.600
How are you guys doing?

3
00:00:11.600 --> 00:00:12.600
Hey, Kingdom Messengers.

4
00:00:12.600 --> 00:00:13.600
Good to see you.

5
00:00:13.600 --> 00:00:15.080
Good to see you.

6
00:00:15.080 --> 00:00:17.520
Welcome to day three.

7
00:00:17.520 --> 00:00:18.520
We're excited.

8
00:00:18.520 --> 00:00:19.520
We made it.

9
00:00:19.520 --> 00:00:20.520
Three whole days.

10
00:00:20.520 --> 00:00:22.880
So we've had, you know, a crazy two days.

11
00:00:22.880 --> 00:00:26.400
It feels like we're sharing a lot of information in a short amount of time.

12
00:00:26.400 --> 00:00:28.200
So yeah, it was really cool.

13
00:00:28.200 --> 00:00:32.560
I think that the end product of this is just for people to actually, just for themselves

14
00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:36.360
to actually, you know, hit record and do that first video.

15
00:00:36.360 --> 00:00:37.720
So we're really proud of you guys.

16
00:00:37.720 --> 00:00:41.280
And we've gotten some feedback from you guys, which is really encouraging saying, yes, you

17
00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:43.640
guys have made it so doable.

18
00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:45.080
Thanks for helping me get unstuck.

19
00:00:45.080 --> 00:00:46.080
That is our goal.

20
00:00:46.080 --> 00:00:50.720
We want to go ahead and get you started, see that it's doable, and that's something that

21
00:00:50.720 --> 00:00:54.080
you can continue to do even after these three days are over.

22
00:00:54.080 --> 00:00:55.960
I want to start to get some shares.

23
00:00:55.960 --> 00:00:57.600
They want to hear how's it going?

24
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:00.080
What have been some aha moments?

25
00:01:00.080 --> 00:01:02.000
How does, how has the homework been going?

26
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:07.080
Hey, Mary and Spencer, I see your hand, let's get you unmuted.

27
00:01:07.080 --> 00:01:08.080
There we go.

28
00:01:08.080 --> 00:01:10.000
So let's still let all these people in.

29
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:11.480
Let me unmute you.

30
00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:21.360
Hi, I've just lost my camera, so I can't show myself today, unfortunately, it's just

31
00:01:21.360 --> 00:01:22.360
gone off.

32
00:01:22.360 --> 00:01:27.480
But I found it really useful, really clear, really simple, which is great for me.

33
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:31.480
Because I totally appreciate clarity and simplicity.

34
00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:35.480
And so I have done a video, I had a deadline yesterday, I couldn't do it yesterday, but

35
00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:37.480
I just did it this morning.

36
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:43.480
It turned out, I haven't recorded it yet, I read through it, and it turned out to be

37
00:01:43.480 --> 00:01:44.480
one minute, 50 seconds.

38
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:45.480
Nice.

39
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:46.480
Awesome.

40
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:48.480
Love the perseverance, love that you're moving forward.

41
00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:50.480
Hey, Joe, I see your hand.

42
00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:57.480
Yeah, hey, hopefully this will go better than last night when I couldn't get through.

43
00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:02.480
But I just wanted to say that there's been like a paradigm shift and just hearing what

44
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:07.480
you guys are saying, even in thinking about things like TikTok and Instagram, when I was,

45
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:10.479
you know, just I didn't really want anything to do with those.

46
00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:14.480
But the more I heard you guys talk about, the more I felt the Lord saying, you know,

47
00:02:14.480 --> 00:02:18.480
if we don't get our message on there, then the only thing that's left is the world's

48
00:02:18.480 --> 00:02:19.480
message.

49
00:02:19.480 --> 00:02:21.480
And it really spoke to my heart.

50
00:02:21.480 --> 00:02:27.480
And then the idea of thinking about the message that God's put in my heart in 60 seconds.

51
00:02:27.480 --> 00:02:31.480
When I started embracing that, I just felt God flooding me with ideas.

52
00:02:31.480 --> 00:02:32.480
Oh, come on.

53
00:02:32.480 --> 00:02:37.480
And I just got so excited and amazed that I would find a way to get the message out

54
00:02:37.480 --> 00:02:40.480
that God's put in my heart that I've waited so long to get out.

55
00:02:40.480 --> 00:02:44.480
And I just want to thank you guys for that, because it's really because I'm saying yes

56
00:02:44.480 --> 00:02:45.480
to this moment.

57
00:02:45.480 --> 00:02:46.480
Awesome.

58
00:02:46.480 --> 00:02:47.480
Great share, Joe.

59
00:02:47.480 --> 00:02:48.480
Thank you.

60
00:02:48.480 --> 00:02:49.480
Hey, Valerie.

61
00:02:49.480 --> 00:02:50.480
I see your hand.

62
00:02:50.480 --> 00:02:51.480
Let's get you unmuted.

63
00:02:55.480 --> 00:02:56.480
Hey there.

64
00:02:56.480 --> 00:02:57.480
Hey.

65
00:02:57.480 --> 00:03:00.480
I was like totally freaking out this afternoon.

66
00:03:00.480 --> 00:03:02.480
Let's unpack that.

67
00:03:02.480 --> 00:03:05.480
So actually, see this?

68
00:03:05.480 --> 00:03:06.480
Okay.

69
00:03:06.480 --> 00:03:07.480
So this is my Jonah.

70
00:03:07.480 --> 00:03:12.480
Like, I've been Jonah, but not with the heart of Jonah, because I do have a heart for the

71
00:03:12.480 --> 00:03:13.480
people.

72
00:03:13.480 --> 00:03:16.480
Jonah was like, I don't want to go there because he didn't care about the people.

73
00:03:16.480 --> 00:03:17.480
I care about the people.

74
00:03:17.480 --> 00:03:18.480
And I had this moment.

75
00:03:18.480 --> 00:03:21.480
At first, I was like, all right, I have three hours to do this.

76
00:03:21.480 --> 00:03:22.480
I have a time slot.

77
00:03:22.480 --> 00:03:23.480
I have like three hours.

78
00:03:23.480 --> 00:03:24.480
Come on.

79
00:03:24.480 --> 00:03:25.480
Right?

80
00:03:25.480 --> 00:03:26.480
Like, I should be able to do it.

81
00:03:26.480 --> 00:03:27.480
And then like an hour disappeared.

82
00:03:27.480 --> 00:03:28.480
And I'm like, I have two hours.

83
00:03:28.480 --> 00:03:29.480
I have two hours.

84
00:03:29.480 --> 00:03:30.480
And then like, I was like just getting distracted.

85
00:03:30.480 --> 00:03:33.480
And then I saw like Keith Bronte like posted some like prophetic song.

86
00:03:33.480 --> 00:03:39.480
And then I started like crying because I was like, I was getting so emotional because like

87
00:03:39.480 --> 00:03:40.480
this is it.

88
00:03:40.480 --> 00:03:44.480
Like, you guys, I did this course with you guys last year.

89
00:03:44.480 --> 00:03:45.480
That was the first time.

90
00:03:46.480 --> 00:03:47.480
And I was, you know, it was great and everything.

91
00:03:47.480 --> 00:03:50.480
But I, you know, when you did this, like post the video, I was like, I'm not ready for that.

92
00:03:50.480 --> 00:03:51.480
I can't.

93
00:03:51.480 --> 00:03:53.480
It's like a year later now, you know?

94
00:03:53.480 --> 00:03:55.480
So it's like, I've got to get out of the whale.

95
00:03:55.480 --> 00:04:00.480
And so I was literally kind of like not having a panic attack, but I was like, I was definitely

96
00:04:00.480 --> 00:04:01.480
like, oh yeah.

97
00:04:01.480 --> 00:04:02.480
And I didn't even think I would have time.

98
00:04:02.480 --> 00:04:03.480
But I did it.

99
00:04:03.480 --> 00:04:04.480
I did it.

100
00:04:04.480 --> 00:04:05.480
It's not great.

101
00:04:05.480 --> 00:04:08.480
But, but, and it's not even like, I'm like afraid of video or anything like that.

102
00:04:08.480 --> 00:04:09.480
I've done video before.

103
00:04:09.480 --> 00:04:10.480
It's not that.

104
00:04:10.480 --> 00:04:13.480
It's just this, this moment of like, this is it.

105
00:04:13.480 --> 00:04:14.480
It is time.

106
00:04:14.480 --> 00:04:18.480
And I just want to thank you guys so much because the push, like, I was just like, I

107
00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:19.480
just have to do it.

108
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:20.480
Cause you're pushing.

109
00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:22.480
And I, I, this, I can't keep delaying and delaying, delaying.

110
00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:27.480
So I just appreciate so much this community and just, just actually making it happen.

111
00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:28.480
And like, this is it.

112
00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:29.480
You got to do it.

113
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:30.480
So thanks so much.

114
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:32.480
Like I said, it's not great, but I did it.

115
00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:37.480
And you'll continue to do it and you'll get better and better as you go.

116
00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:41.480
You know, part of the fear that we're punching in the face right now, or the intimidation

117
00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:47.480
that people might be feeling is we have to be okay with not being great at something.

118
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:50.480
That's the, you know, kids don't really struggle with this.

119
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:54.480
I don't think as much as adults, we get to a place where we stop being learners because

120
00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:59.480
we, we feel like we have to keep face and we have to pretend like we know it all.

121
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:00.480
And.

122
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:07.400
This is the beauty of being in partnership with Jesus, because there is an invitation to be childlike.

123
00:05:07.400 --> 00:05:11.480
Because there's areas where we are five and other areas that we're thirty five.

124
00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:16.500
And that's OK. He's working with us in every area of our life, sometimes one area at a time.

125
00:05:16.500 --> 00:05:20.440
And so I'd love to encourage you of what Valerie was sharing was resonating with you.

126
00:05:20.440 --> 00:05:23.800
And you're like, yeah, that was me. This was like hard. I need to push through.

127
00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:29.600
This is not about what you're doing. This is about who you are becoming.

128
00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:35.880
It's good. This is really another process, another another invitation for you to partner with him.

129
00:05:35.880 --> 00:05:43.840
I know that it feels like and I'm speaking from my own experience, it can feel almost burdensome because there's for some of us,

130
00:05:43.840 --> 00:05:51.880
it's like we've tried things before, they didn't work or we've delayed things and we have gotten stuck and we've allowed ourselves to stay stuck.

131
00:05:51.880 --> 00:05:58.680
But I would love for you to take an opportunity to exchange that feeling of this is really heavy.

132
00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:03.560
And maybe it's just really weighty. And that's OK.

133
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:10.400
That's kind of what I was feeling, if I could just say today to like like I felt that like I felt that weight of like.

134
00:06:10.400 --> 00:06:15.160
Oh, my, like I'm about to actually do what God has been calling me to do.

135
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:21.520
I've known this for like 20 years, like that one day I would be doing this, like I've known this for so long.

136
00:06:21.520 --> 00:06:25.240
And I think that's it's like now the moment's here. But it's just yeah.

137
00:06:25.280 --> 00:06:27.640
So exactly. I love that for you.

138
00:06:27.640 --> 00:06:34.080
I've shared it before in some of our previous trainings, but an aha moment for me that actually didn't come at the beginning,

139
00:06:34.080 --> 00:06:39.360
but in the middle of everything as my numbers grew is the Lord reminded me that he had spoken.

140
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:44.160
There had been prophetic words that I received about speaking to arenas of people.

141
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:47.800
And I always thought that looked like a very specific something.

142
00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:53.080
And then all of a sudden I found myself actually speaking to stadium sized audiences.

143
00:06:53.080 --> 00:06:55.440
And I'm like, this is the word coming to pass.

144
00:06:55.440 --> 00:06:58.280
It's just looks different than what I thought it was. Right.

145
00:06:58.280 --> 00:07:03.720
So it was a lot bigger than you thought. And it was a lot bigger thing right there.

146
00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:06.880
Yeah. And to grow continues to get bigger.

147
00:07:06.880 --> 00:07:11.800
So thank you so much for sharing. A lot of people probably resonate with that.

148
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:15.880
Susie, I see your hand. Yeah.

149
00:07:15.880 --> 00:07:22.960
OK. I've been doing with you guys for a year and I've been doing tick tocks and it took me

150
00:07:22.960 --> 00:07:28.880
two months to do the one minute origin story that we were supposed to do in four days.

151
00:07:28.880 --> 00:07:32.960
And so it's just been it's it's been a good growing experience for me.

152
00:07:32.960 --> 00:07:37.520
And I just wanted to say, I don't know if any other people are on this.

153
00:07:37.520 --> 00:07:40.200
My who has been clarified again.

154
00:07:40.200 --> 00:07:46.000
And, you know, in just the last couple of days, my my message is clearer again.

155
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:51.560
And I've been doing kind of a simple tick tock of saying, OK, I'm thanking God for this.

156
00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:56.280
And then I've got I live at the ocean. So would you like to thank God and give him the ocean?

157
00:07:56.280 --> 00:08:01.360
So it was kind of something it was a tick tock kind of halfway thing.

158
00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:09.200
And I am getting really excited because I keep having these more substantial, more like my origin stories.

159
00:08:09.200 --> 00:08:13.360
But I only think of them while I'm doing the dishes or while I'm making the bed.

160
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:16.800
And then when I sit down and think, OK, I'm going to do this, it's out of my mind.

161
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:22.120
So I think I need to be like Marion and just know that God is going to do this.

162
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:25.240
And maybe I'll just find out how.

163
00:08:25.240 --> 00:08:27.360
But I wasn't able to do it today.

164
00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:29.960
I'm looking forward to doing it tonight.

165
00:08:29.960 --> 00:08:34.440
Well, that's awesome. And I don't know if you saw Lisa, who we talked to last night.

166
00:08:34.440 --> 00:08:42.200
She posted a video in our Facebook community singing at the sink because she was talking about I'm just I find myself at the sink a lot more.

167
00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:46.840
So it might be you just having your phone at the sink with you.

168
00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:50.120
Hey, Lisa, I love that.

169
00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:55.200
She just went for it. And I think a lot of people will relate to that because think about this, guys.

170
00:08:55.200 --> 00:09:02.240
Think about. How many people are invited to someone's home these days, right?

171
00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:11.800
Like that's a very special thing to be invited to someone's home, and we're doing that by just by inviting them into our lives in the middle of the mess.

172
00:09:11.800 --> 00:09:14.400
And I'm at the sink. I'm at my couch.

173
00:09:14.400 --> 00:09:24.800
I mean, I look back, I filmed and I don't know the exact number, but maybe the first 70 of my episodes at our dining room table, it was like just at our dining room table.

174
00:09:24.800 --> 00:09:28.640
And I see your whole, you know, yeah, the whole living room behind me.

175
00:09:28.640 --> 00:09:34.000
And I think that that was something that connected with people, too, of like I'm just with Lindsay in our house.

176
00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:40.720
And I think that's something that not a lot of people have the opportunity to do or have been invited to people's homes as much anymore.

177
00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:45.520
So don't underestimate it does not have to be a perfect setting.

178
00:09:45.520 --> 00:09:50.320
Yeah. Don't underestimate the power of just turning on your phone and sharing from your heart.

179
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:54.600
It's really good. I love that. Very, very OK.

180
00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:56.800
Let me just pull up our notes here. Quick recap.

181
00:09:56.800 --> 00:10:00.000
I always wish you guys could see what we're saying, because Bruce is.

182
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.480
He's running between all the streams and stuff that we're doing.

183
00:10:02.480 --> 00:10:03.760
He's just a rock star.

184
00:10:04.160 --> 00:10:05.560
He's so focused and able to.

185
00:10:06.640 --> 00:10:08.040
I need to remember to smile.

186
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:12.920
If he's looking down, he's cause I'm like very serious or I'm not

187
00:10:12.920 --> 00:10:14.520
mad at Lindsay or any of you.

188
00:10:14.680 --> 00:10:17.160
I'm just like, why is that button not doing the right thing?

189
00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:19.960
So, yeah, that's, what's going on, but we're going to do, we're going

190
00:10:19.960 --> 00:10:23.280
to just start with a quick recap so we can, everyone can be up to

191
00:10:23.280 --> 00:10:24.920
speed on what we've been covering.

192
00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:29.120
So yesterday we, the homework, if you haven't picked up on that was

193
00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:32.640
create your first post, we actually challenged you to create three videos

194
00:10:32.640 --> 00:10:37.200
because we wanted to break through any temptation to give yourself to

195
00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:39.520
perfectionism and over-perfecting one video.

196
00:10:39.760 --> 00:10:41.720
So the challenge was do three videos.

197
00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:45.880
If you can three 60 second videos, we talked about how video is dominating

198
00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:47.320
the digital landscape right now.

199
00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:52.520
It is highly consumed and not just any type of video, but short form video,

200
00:10:52.520 --> 00:10:56.760
60 seconds or less it's everyone's kind of getting on the Tik TOK bandwagon.

201
00:10:56.760 --> 00:10:58.320
So you, now you have Instagram reels.

202
00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:01.120
You're probably seeing if you're on Instagram and YouTube shorts.

203
00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:05.400
So we talked about why it's important and why that is a great starting point for

204
00:11:05.400 --> 00:11:08.880
you to begin reaching a stadium sized audience.

205
00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:13.080
This is what we hope is this gives you some freedom.

206
00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:16.760
And it sounded like even from Joe, like, Hey, I'm rethinking this because

207
00:11:16.760 --> 00:11:19.400
again, I've shared, I thought I had to have this bestselling book.

208
00:11:19.400 --> 00:11:21.400
I thought I had to have this fancy website.

209
00:11:21.400 --> 00:11:25.240
I thought I had to have kind of a very established something to start

210
00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:28.080
reading, reading, reaching stadium sized audiences.

211
00:11:28.400 --> 00:11:32.000
And what we have found specifically with short form video is we're

212
00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:36.280
able to reach our who now no more delay.

213
00:11:36.520 --> 00:11:40.960
And we're able to add value to them now, no more delay.

214
00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:45.000
So if you're someone who's sitting here and you're like, I still want to write

215
00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:46.800
the book, I still want to write the blog.

216
00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:48.240
Go for it.

217
00:11:48.280 --> 00:11:52.720
We would encourage you to focus on building your tribe through the strategy

218
00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:56.520
that we've been teaching these three days and then go build the thing.

219
00:11:57.120 --> 00:12:00.960
The course, write the book, do the blog, the discipleship program,

220
00:12:01.160 --> 00:12:02.800
but start reaching your who today.

221
00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:07.000
A lot of people build the thing first and they're like, if I build it, they will

222
00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:11.240
come and that's not necessarily true for, I would say a majority of people.

223
00:12:11.800 --> 00:12:12.440
I'll just jump in.

224
00:12:12.440 --> 00:12:17.920
Like maybe you guys have tried to write a blog or a book or, you know, you put a

225
00:12:17.920 --> 00:12:22.000
course out and you just put all, you know, we've definitely done it ourselves.

226
00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:25.920
20, 30, 40 hours of effort, recreating everything just perfect.

227
00:12:25.920 --> 00:12:27.920
You're like, well, once I build, I'm going to, you know, all

228
00:12:27.920 --> 00:12:28.920
these sales are going to come in.

229
00:12:29.400 --> 00:12:33.000
And the thing for all of that, and this is true of business as well as ministry,

230
00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:38.000
anything you're going to put out there works when you have thousands of people

231
00:12:38.880 --> 00:12:40.280
when you have an audience to talk to.

232
00:12:40.280 --> 00:12:44.280
And so this is sort of the first step of just building that audience out so that

233
00:12:44.280 --> 00:12:45.560
you can have someone to talk to that.

234
00:12:45.560 --> 00:12:46.640
We call it your tribe.

235
00:12:46.640 --> 00:12:47.200
It's your online.

236
00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:49.840
So people who are following you, you know, we created a tribe

237
00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:51.320
called kingdom messengers.

238
00:12:51.320 --> 00:12:53.560
It's people who want to read, you know, use the, uh, online

239
00:12:53.560 --> 00:12:55.280
to reach, uh, preach the gospel.

240
00:12:55.800 --> 00:12:58.000
Lindsay's created a, a tribe for posture.

241
00:12:58.200 --> 00:12:59.680
People want to live in perfect peace.

242
00:12:59.680 --> 00:13:04.440
So you are going to be creating your own tribe, um, that then you can write, you

243
00:13:04.440 --> 00:13:07.320
know, once you have that audience, then you can write the book and then

244
00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:10.640
immediately share it with thousands of people and it can be a success.

245
00:13:10.640 --> 00:13:14.680
You have already been showing up for consistently and adding value to their

246
00:13:14.680 --> 00:13:18.840
lives, you're not waiting for the thing to be finished, you're starting.

247
00:13:19.080 --> 00:13:20.920
And here's what, here's the cool thing.

248
00:13:21.320 --> 00:13:24.760
The book that I was going to write two years ago when I'm like, oh yeah, one

249
00:13:24.760 --> 00:13:27.880
day I'm going to write a book is not the same book that I want to write now.

250
00:13:27.880 --> 00:13:28.600
Because guess what?

251
00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:33.520
For the last two years, I have been rubbing elbows with my who I've

252
00:13:33.520 --> 00:13:34.720
been having conversations.

253
00:13:34.720 --> 00:13:36.040
I've been getting feedback.

254
00:13:36.040 --> 00:13:38.360
And so now it's not theory anymore.

255
00:13:38.720 --> 00:13:42.360
I can write, I think a more effective, something builds a more effective

256
00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:47.000
something for them because I've been doing life with them on the screen for two years.

257
00:13:47.280 --> 00:13:51.280
So this is why we've like called it a challenge as we want to just challenge

258
00:13:51.280 --> 00:13:55.840
maybe some old mindsets and invite you to think differently about what ministry

259
00:13:55.840 --> 00:13:57.920
at a large scale could look like.

260
00:13:58.080 --> 00:13:58.400
Yeah.

261
00:13:58.520 --> 00:13:59.000
So good.

262
00:13:59.000 --> 00:14:01.480
And, and guys, this is one of the most powerful things.

263
00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:05.160
I mean, we're even teaching some of this stuff to businesses as well.

264
00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:09.520
And this is revolutionary even in some of the business, you know, place.

265
00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:11.400
Uh, and I would just tell a quick story.

266
00:14:11.400 --> 00:14:16.160
Like we were, I was helping a, um, a friend of mine who is a pilot who is

267
00:14:16.160 --> 00:14:18.520
making a watch specifically for pilots.

268
00:14:18.520 --> 00:14:22.200
So talk about niching down on your who, um, this is just people

269
00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:23.960
who have a actual pilot's license.

270
00:14:23.960 --> 00:14:26.680
Like not even people who want to be a pilot, but you have to have

271
00:14:26.680 --> 00:14:28.360
an actual license to buy the watch.

272
00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:31.120
So he casually mentioned this over dinner.

273
00:14:31.400 --> 00:14:35.720
Uh, he's like, Oh, one day, like I want to go raise my capital and I'm going to

274
00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:38.600
get investors and I want to go build this product, it's going to be amazing.

275
00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:40.400
And he had all these cool things he wanted to do with it.

276
00:14:40.880 --> 00:14:43.480
So I was like, you know, you could just start, right?

277
00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:46.680
Like you can just start building, you can just, you know, with no money, you know?

278
00:14:46.680 --> 00:14:49.760
And, and so he, he was like, you know, we talked, we helped him out.

279
00:14:50.040 --> 00:14:53.360
And so we ended up running ads, uh, on Facebook.

280
00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:55.920
We leveraged all the social media, Tik TOK, all that stuff.

281
00:14:56.160 --> 00:14:59.760
And we just put a survey out to people, to pilots.

282
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:06.880
And he had over almost 2,000 people take five to 10 minutes to fill out a survey to tell them

283
00:15:06.880 --> 00:15:14.080
what kind of watch they wanted. And so now he has literally 2,000 responses from all these people

284
00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:20.080
who were like, I love your idea. They're writing like paragraph upon paragraph answers, telling him

285
00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:24.480
like what they would like to see in a watch, the design, the color. So then he took all of that,

286
00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:28.960
and now he's using it to go actually go build it. But he's already got 2,000 people that he's

287
00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:34.960
talking to that are in a conversation with him now. And so I mean, this is someone who's super

288
00:15:34.960 --> 00:15:39.280
smart in business, and I really respect in business, honestly. And it's just when you

289
00:15:39.280 --> 00:15:43.920
kind of think about it a little bit backwards, like we put a lot of excuses and things out in

290
00:15:43.920 --> 00:15:48.720
front of us as far as like, well, when I get the money, when I'm able to do this, when I get the

291
00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:54.720
camera, when I get the whatever, or when I publish my book, then I'll start doing TikTok. It's totally

292
00:15:54.720 --> 00:16:00.720
backwards. Go build the audience now and kind of figure it out along the way. Like we didn't think

293
00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:05.200
about launching Kingdom Messengers when Lindsay was sitting thinking about like when she launched

294
00:16:05.200 --> 00:16:09.920
Posture. We just did the next thing, right? But then we built Momentum. She built an audience.

295
00:16:09.920 --> 00:16:14.480
So we were able to reach out to that audience and say, you know, some of the Posture audience was

296
00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:18.560
some of the first Kingdom Messengers, right? Like we were able to do, we didn't, we had no idea about

297
00:16:18.560 --> 00:16:22.560
Kingdom Messengers. It was two years before we launched. Yeah, a year before we launched. A year

298
00:16:22.560 --> 00:16:30.080
before we launched. Yeah. So you just don't know. And I think that sometimes we can as a safety

299
00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:36.720
defense mechanism, we just want to keep it in the future because then it, it, we don't find out

300
00:16:37.280 --> 00:16:43.360
whether it works or not. It's just always in the future. Like this is what we want to bring

301
00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:48.560
what's in the future into the present and start now. So I don't think we can say that enough

302
00:16:48.560 --> 00:16:53.680
quite honestly, because I really feel, we feel very strongly that this is a year of breakthrough.

303
00:16:53.680 --> 00:16:57.120
We shared with our community at the beginning of the year that we felt like the Lord had given us

304
00:16:57.120 --> 00:17:02.320
a personal word that was also for our community as a collective, that this will be a year of

305
00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:06.720
breakthrough. And what we found out very soon into the year was in order to break through,

306
00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:11.440
in order to have a year of breakthrough, you have to actually break through some things. So then we

307
00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:18.240
came up against some resistance and, um, this is what we just felt from the Lord that we need to

308
00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:22.640
like press against that resistance. Valerie was even saying, you guys are kind of pushing.

309
00:17:23.280 --> 00:17:27.760
And, and, and I know that she said, you know, I need it. Here's the thing with that pressure,

310
00:17:27.760 --> 00:17:32.960
like you need pressure to birth something. And so this is not meant to, uh, this is not

311
00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:38.320
meant as a negative pressure, but we just feel really strongly that when people come up against

312
00:17:38.320 --> 00:17:44.400
resistance, this was happened to me even earlier this year, we can become resistant, resistant to

313
00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:49.600
change, resistant to taking action, resistant to wanting to try anything new, pioneer anything new,

314
00:17:49.600 --> 00:17:54.800
put ourselves out there. And so we want to break through that even tonight, as we're talking to

315
00:17:54.800 --> 00:17:59.600
you, we want to break through any resistance that you have had to face this year, or maybe previous

316
00:17:59.600 --> 00:18:04.160
years, because the word of the Lord is this is going to be a year of breakthrough. And we want

317
00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:09.760
to partner with that word as much as we can. Dan says, I need a tech breakthrough. Bruce speaking

318
00:18:09.760 --> 00:18:17.360
tech breakthroughs. Absolutely. Absolutely. Resources, tech, knowledge, skill. I believe

319
00:18:17.360 --> 00:18:23.840
it's all we're breaking through. And the best thing that we can do is start, right? Start,

320
00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:28.080
start, start. So we're going to continue to talk more tonight about that.

321
00:18:28.080 --> 00:18:32.000
Yeah. And I know you guys are, are, you know, you're doing it. You're showing up on a call like

322
00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:37.280
this, you're, you're putting in the hours to try and record. And it is, it is difficult, right? Yeah.

323
00:18:37.280 --> 00:18:40.960
We like to say like, with all the mechanics, you know, we've been going through this plan,

324
00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:45.200
produce, publish, promote, we're going to talk more about publish and promote later tonight,

325
00:18:45.840 --> 00:18:51.120
and tell you kind of how to get your content out. But it feels very mechanical and awkward when

326
00:18:51.120 --> 00:18:55.200
you're getting started, right? Because it's, we say it's like getting in the car, like when you

327
00:18:55.200 --> 00:19:00.240
were a teenager, and you were learning to drive, you sat in the car and everything just was so

328
00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:05.920
such a big deal. You're like, where are my hands? Okay, what gear man like, you know, are the mirrors

329
00:19:05.920 --> 00:19:10.800
right? Like, my seatbelt, like, and then you like to try to move and everything's like very,

330
00:19:10.800 --> 00:19:15.920
like stop and go. And it's very, it's not smooth at all. So that's a little bit like the kind of

331
00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:19.440
the journey of a kingdom messenger, that's going to be an ad one day, we're going to do that as an ad.

332
00:19:20.880 --> 00:19:26.560
But it's kind of like that. But But today, most of like, if you're driving, you just hop in the car

333
00:19:26.560 --> 00:19:30.960
and go, you don't you just go to a place, you don't even think about sometimes you get to that

334
00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:35.200
place. And you're like, how did I get here? I don't remember passing, you're just so intuitive

335
00:19:35.200 --> 00:19:40.400
at that point, just second nature. And so that's just that idea of becoming and changing your

336
00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:46.560
identity, become a creator, so that you can just create more easily, and it will become a lot

337
00:19:46.560 --> 00:19:51.440
easier. So this is the hardest part, right? It's the hardest video, sometimes they're going to be

338
00:19:51.440 --> 00:19:56.160
the first ones that you do, just because you're trying to start with no momentum, and you're

339
00:19:56.160 --> 00:20:00.080
trying to generate momentum. So just be encouraged, like, take it does get

340
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:02.680
easier, it starts to flow, it gets faster.

341
00:20:02.680 --> 00:20:06.200
The tech somehow magically tends to work, you know,

342
00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:08.260
more often the more you get familiar with it,

343
00:20:08.260 --> 00:20:10.280
you kind of know what to expect

344
00:20:10.280 --> 00:20:12.840
and how to deal with, you know, bugs that come up.

345
00:20:12.840 --> 00:20:15.440
I mean, just think about using some social media platforms

346
00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:16.280
for the first time.

347
00:20:16.280 --> 00:20:18.800
Like I know it's maybe it's been like 10 years

348
00:20:18.800 --> 00:20:20.020
for some of us, like, I don't remember,

349
00:20:20.020 --> 00:20:21.960
but like you get on Facebook and you're like,

350
00:20:21.960 --> 00:20:22.960
how does this even work?

351
00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:23.800
How do I post?

352
00:20:23.800 --> 00:20:25.120
And now it's like, you can just do it.

353
00:20:25.120 --> 00:20:26.720
So even something technical,

354
00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:29.420
even if you're not naturally techie,

355
00:20:29.460 --> 00:20:31.940
there's things that you can learn that I promise

356
00:20:31.940 --> 00:20:35.180
can become very natural over time.

357
00:20:35.180 --> 00:20:38.260
But the more you do it, you have to be consistent.

358
00:20:38.260 --> 00:20:39.100
I was just curious,

359
00:20:39.100 --> 00:20:41.780
cause some of these mindset things,

360
00:20:41.780 --> 00:20:44.180
I know some, we have some members that have been here.

361
00:20:44.180 --> 00:20:45.500
We'll see if this is a good idea or not.

362
00:20:45.500 --> 00:20:46.380
We didn't plan for this,

363
00:20:46.380 --> 00:20:49.260
but it would maybe interesting to hear from some of them.

364
00:20:49.260 --> 00:20:51.140
I don't know if you think that's a good idea.

365
00:20:51.140 --> 00:20:52.340
I mean, it's always good to hear.

366
00:20:52.340 --> 00:20:53.180
I just saw, I know.

367
00:20:53.180 --> 00:20:54.220
I feel like all we've been doing

368
00:20:54.220 --> 00:20:55.060
is putting people on the spot.

369
00:20:55.060 --> 00:20:58.380
Well, I just, you know, Marcella, I see you've got Denise.

370
00:20:58.380 --> 00:20:59.620
I see we've got-

371
00:20:59.620 --> 00:21:00.460
Hillary's on here.

372
00:21:00.460 --> 00:21:02.540
Just any, maybe like thoughts

373
00:21:02.540 --> 00:21:04.220
that you guys, Marion's on here.

374
00:21:04.220 --> 00:21:06.860
She's, and then who else?

375
00:21:06.860 --> 00:21:10.100
So I saw Susie Walters on here.

376
00:21:10.100 --> 00:21:11.780
So if you guys want, you're welcome to put your hand.

377
00:21:11.780 --> 00:21:12.660
We won't put you on the spot,

378
00:21:12.660 --> 00:21:14.100
but if you felt like you got something to share,

379
00:21:14.100 --> 00:21:16.180
I saw Hillary was on here as well.

380
00:21:16.180 --> 00:21:19.540
Marcella, I saw in the chat,

381
00:21:19.540 --> 00:21:21.700
saying that she was having some inner breakthrough.

382
00:21:21.700 --> 00:21:24.100
Marcella, are you able to unmute?

383
00:21:25.100 --> 00:21:27.080
She's not, unless I ask her to.

384
00:21:29.380 --> 00:21:30.700
And Denise has her-

385
00:21:30.700 --> 00:21:32.220
Yes, yes, yes, I'm here.

386
00:21:32.220 --> 00:21:34.020
I can't be on camera though, I'm sorry.

387
00:21:34.020 --> 00:21:34.860
Is that okay?

388
00:21:34.860 --> 00:21:36.420
That's okay, because we did not plan this.

389
00:21:36.420 --> 00:21:38.940
Can you just talk a little bit about the inner breakthrough?

390
00:21:38.940 --> 00:21:39.940
I'm just curious,

391
00:21:39.940 --> 00:21:41.700
because I feel like the Lord wants us

392
00:21:41.700 --> 00:21:44.860
to just talk about the breakthrough again, so.

393
00:21:44.860 --> 00:21:46.340
Yes, so, you know,

394
00:21:46.340 --> 00:21:50.820
I've shared in the Kingdom Messenger member group,

395
00:21:50.820 --> 00:21:53.660
you know, when I started, where I started.

396
00:21:53.660 --> 00:21:54.940
I can look back today

397
00:21:54.940 --> 00:21:57.740
and see that it was God's hand leading me

398
00:21:57.780 --> 00:21:59.300
through Bruce and Lindsay.

399
00:22:01.140 --> 00:22:03.540
It's amazing how God will give you one word

400
00:22:04.580 --> 00:22:06.940
and you don't know where it's gonna take you.

401
00:22:06.940 --> 00:22:10.260
And so with taking the steps,

402
00:22:10.260 --> 00:22:14.420
with the kindness and patience of Bruce and Lindsay,

403
00:22:14.420 --> 00:22:18.460
and the rest of the Kingdom Messenger member group,

404
00:22:18.460 --> 00:22:22.700
who just at a time I needed that kind of holding

405
00:22:22.700 --> 00:22:26.740
and just a space of embracing and acceptance.

406
00:22:27.100 --> 00:22:29.100
When I look at myself now,

407
00:22:29.100 --> 00:22:34.100
a lot of the mindsets I had coming in about technology,

408
00:22:34.620 --> 00:22:35.980
I was not, I had a friend of mine,

409
00:22:35.980 --> 00:22:38.060
I'll use this example, just came to me really quickly.

410
00:22:38.060 --> 00:22:39.660
We went to a concert last week

411
00:22:39.660 --> 00:22:42.060
to see Kirk Franklin in Maverick City.

412
00:22:42.060 --> 00:22:46.020
And she's the kind of friend who's always gonna document

413
00:22:46.020 --> 00:22:47.620
and take pictures, post it on Facebook,

414
00:22:47.620 --> 00:22:48.820
put it all together.

415
00:22:48.820 --> 00:22:52.620
And she knows that, you know, maybe two years ago,

416
00:22:52.620 --> 00:22:54.580
I would have been like, don't take any pictures of me.

417
00:22:54.580 --> 00:22:56.580
I don't wanna be posted, don't show it, don't, you know.

418
00:22:57.420 --> 00:22:58.260
I was that person.

419
00:22:58.260 --> 00:23:00.940
And so we go to the concert last week

420
00:23:00.940 --> 00:23:05.620
and I'm just taking selfies of myself and I made a post.

421
00:23:05.620 --> 00:23:08.620
And she goes, I can't believe this is not the same person.

422
00:23:09.540 --> 00:23:13.060
And so I believe a lot of it has to do with this group

423
00:23:13.060 --> 00:23:15.300
and being a Kingdom Messenger

424
00:23:15.300 --> 00:23:17.700
and just being willing to be vulnerable

425
00:23:17.700 --> 00:23:21.700
and to document the transformation that God has done.

426
00:23:21.700 --> 00:23:26.380
I now see it more so than just being on, you know,

427
00:23:27.180 --> 00:23:29.420
in front of people, but telling the goodness of God.

428
00:23:29.420 --> 00:23:32.420
People are looking for hope.

429
00:23:32.420 --> 00:23:34.380
And I didn't think of myself as that person.

430
00:23:34.380 --> 00:23:36.700
Now I see myself as a messenger of hope

431
00:23:36.700 --> 00:23:39.940
for those who are struggling where I was

432
00:23:39.940 --> 00:23:41.700
and how far I have come.

433
00:23:41.700 --> 00:23:45.580
And I don't have to, I'm not on the top of the mountain yet,

434
00:23:45.580 --> 00:23:48.860
but I am very much more closer to the top,

435
00:23:48.860 --> 00:23:52.740
but I can share what I have gained thus far.

436
00:23:52.740 --> 00:23:53.580
And Hillary's on here

437
00:23:53.580 --> 00:23:55.980
and she's a part of that transformation process for me too.

438
00:23:56.780 --> 00:23:58.340
So yeah, I love it.

439
00:23:58.340 --> 00:24:01.580
I mean, just the whole mindset, the belief, the faith.

440
00:24:02.620 --> 00:24:06.500
I can't believe I'm using Canva and just knocking it out,

441
00:24:06.500 --> 00:24:08.420
you know, so yeah, all the things.

442
00:24:10.140 --> 00:24:11.940
Thank you for sharing, Marcella.

443
00:24:11.940 --> 00:24:12.780
That's awesome.

444
00:24:12.780 --> 00:24:15.020
I love hearing about that.

445
00:24:15.020 --> 00:24:17.260
There's Hillary, speaking of Hillary.

446
00:24:17.260 --> 00:24:18.100
Yeah.

447
00:24:18.100 --> 00:24:20.380
Oh, what just happened?

448
00:24:21.860 --> 00:24:22.780
Hang on.

449
00:24:22.780 --> 00:24:27.780
No, I think I tried to get a flag out of the window

450
00:24:28.740 --> 00:24:30.660
and ended up tapping on it.

451
00:24:31.700 --> 00:24:33.140
Sorry guys.

452
00:24:33.140 --> 00:24:37.620
So yeah, so much has changed.

453
00:24:37.620 --> 00:24:41.820
And really it's about getting out of my own way

454
00:24:41.820 --> 00:24:44.740
here in Kingdom Messengers

455
00:24:44.740 --> 00:24:48.060
in order to be a messenger for the kingdom.

456
00:24:48.060 --> 00:24:52.140
I can't be a messenger about Hillary.

457
00:24:52.140 --> 00:24:54.580
And even though that's my commitment,

458
00:24:54.580 --> 00:24:57.020
there's still so many times,

459
00:24:57.020 --> 00:25:00.180
even if the Lord's saying, I've heard the cries.

460
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:05.120
of my people. I've heard the cries of my daughters and I've come now you go and I'm like

461
00:25:06.320 --> 00:25:16.000
but I stutter but I you know I start talking about me and then you get these you know

462
00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:26.960
these testimonies from people that were totally falling apart. I said I'm just so grateful for

463
00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:35.280
your mentorship or you have no idea what you've done to my life or and then you're just like

464
00:25:38.320 --> 00:25:45.440
what the heck you know. So one thing that I just keep learning over and over again

465
00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:52.400
is it's so not about us. Being a kingdom messenger just means you know like Paul,

466
00:25:52.960 --> 00:25:59.440
an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God to you. That means I have a message from him

467
00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:05.680
for you by his power and he has grace and peace for you and so that's one thing I just keep

468
00:26:05.680 --> 00:26:12.320
hearing and when I do get into my in my own way then Lindsay brings out the fire and

469
00:26:15.520 --> 00:26:19.120
and I get a good talking too even though what you're trying to do

470
00:26:19.360 --> 00:26:25.200
is encourage and set us free. So I just want to say that's the biggest thing is really just

471
00:26:25.200 --> 00:26:32.160
stepping into what you've all what we've all been born to be and that is kings and priests for a

472
00:26:32.160 --> 00:26:39.280
kingdom whose work is finished. It's just our we need to we're like the chain we're the missing

473
00:26:39.280 --> 00:26:47.680
link right that he's heard the cries he's come to redeem now we go and as we go he shows up and

474
00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:52.880
we're co-laboring with the finished work and the people have been waiting for your voice all along

475
00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:58.720
so thank you thank you thank you. That's awesome. That's a good word Hillary. It's good and I love

476
00:26:58.720 --> 00:27:03.920
that like you guys you don't know who you're going to be helping like you don't know who you could

477
00:27:03.920 --> 00:27:11.360
be reaching. Yeah. And that's like I think the the assumption I think we talk about this in

478
00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:17.280
in some other training but the assumption is we we kind of go into the world into we go on

479
00:27:17.280 --> 00:27:23.040
online we go to social media we go to YouTube and we see all the people that we're following

480
00:27:23.040 --> 00:27:27.360
that we're interested in so other preachers and other authors and speakers and we see all these

481
00:27:27.360 --> 00:27:32.960
are the people we follow and so our whole feed is just listed of all these different people that we

482
00:27:33.120 --> 00:27:42.560
follow and so the more you consume that as a consumer you are you're more convinced that

483
00:27:42.560 --> 00:27:48.240
well there's these people out here why would I need to say anything and so but you don't know

484
00:27:48.240 --> 00:27:54.080
like who may be wanting to listen to you that have honestly never heard of the people you're

485
00:27:54.080 --> 00:27:58.720
of your favorite person your favorite preacher leader the world is just such a big place and

486
00:27:58.720 --> 00:28:03.840
that's kind of funny even when we've you know we could say oh well there's Graham Cook is doing

487
00:28:03.840 --> 00:28:08.880
you know his ministry why would we need posture you know it's too similar it's too whatever like

488
00:28:08.880 --> 00:28:12.720
I'm like why would I need to do this if he's already doing it and I think we have to realize

489
00:28:12.720 --> 00:28:17.520
that the world's a very big place and there's so many people that are just desperate for hope and

490
00:28:17.520 --> 00:28:23.600
peace to be sharing their life so yeah that's good. I was just going to add this one thing and

491
00:28:23.600 --> 00:28:30.800
what you're saying is the more we do that the more we step out we're the ones being transformed

492
00:28:31.440 --> 00:28:39.760
into the image of that messenger for a greater and greater level of of releasing that message

493
00:28:39.760 --> 00:28:44.400
so I'm either going to follow comfort and my world gets smaller I'm going to find the

494
00:28:44.400 --> 00:28:49.040
comforter I'm going to follow the comforter my world gets bigger and more comfortable with so

495
00:28:49.040 --> 00:28:53.760
much more because I'm I'm not the same person over and over again that's right it's not true

496
00:28:53.760 --> 00:28:58.960
it's not true I'm definitely not the same so I'm I've become and I'm continued to become

497
00:28:59.760 --> 00:29:04.320
I'm not the same that I was two years ago and this was a talking point with me and the lord

498
00:29:04.320 --> 00:29:09.440
before we started kingdom messengers there's a few things I there's a few resistance points for me

499
00:29:10.320 --> 00:29:17.840
and one was I don't want to equip immature people to go take on the airwaves right and lord I don't

500
00:29:17.840 --> 00:29:23.920
want to equip like what if what if I equip people that don't share my same theology and views of you

501
00:29:23.920 --> 00:29:29.440
and he said linds I'm not asking you to be their holy spirit I'm just asking you to gather my

502
00:29:29.440 --> 00:29:36.720
messengers because on the journey I am there with them and they will become like trust me with that

503
00:29:36.720 --> 00:29:43.280
part of it I'm not asking you to mature people or handpick people I think a little bit maybe now I

504
00:29:43.280 --> 00:29:48.080
can see that I didn't know then is maybe that's been happening a little bit too much and so there's

505
00:29:48.080 --> 00:29:53.440
too many people within our kingdom that feel disqualified because they haven't been handpicked

506
00:29:53.440 --> 00:29:59.840
for ministry or a ministry and I think the lord really wants to break that because the worthiness

507
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:04.320
is the indwelling of Christ in you.

508
00:30:04.320 --> 00:30:08.240
And you have that if you're a follower of Jesus.

509
00:30:08.240 --> 00:30:09.780
You already have everything you need

510
00:30:09.780 --> 00:30:10.960
for life and godliness.

511
00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:12.080
You've been given it.

512
00:30:12.080 --> 00:30:14.840
And now we get to unpack all of that

513
00:30:14.840 --> 00:30:16.080
on the journey with him.

514
00:30:16.080 --> 00:30:17.140
So good.

515
00:30:17.140 --> 00:30:18.780
That's awesome.

516
00:30:18.780 --> 00:30:19.620
Cool.

517
00:30:19.620 --> 00:30:20.920
We'll take two quick more and then we'll share.

518
00:30:20.920 --> 00:30:23.400
Hopefully this has been encouraging you guys a little bit,

519
00:30:23.400 --> 00:30:26.420
because I think we're trying to make sure that-

520
00:30:26.420 --> 00:30:29.160
We don't ever want to appear like-

521
00:30:29.960 --> 00:30:31.000
Some rock star.

522
00:30:32.080 --> 00:30:33.760
They've just figured it out and they're doing it.

523
00:30:33.760 --> 00:30:36.320
But we want to hear from different types of people

524
00:30:36.320 --> 00:30:38.080
who have been on this journey with us,

525
00:30:38.080 --> 00:30:40.420
who are doing it in their style,

526
00:30:40.420 --> 00:30:42.060
in their walk with the Lord.

527
00:30:42.060 --> 00:30:44.220
So you can see yourself in these stories

528
00:30:44.220 --> 00:30:45.060
and not just think,

529
00:30:45.060 --> 00:30:46.520
well, Lindsay and Bruce are just something special

530
00:30:46.520 --> 00:30:47.540
and that's why it's worked for them,

531
00:30:47.540 --> 00:30:48.520
but it will never work for me.

532
00:30:48.520 --> 00:30:51.820
Again, we want to break through that lie once and for all.

533
00:30:51.820 --> 00:30:53.020
Hey, Susie.

534
00:30:53.020 --> 00:30:54.320
Hey, I'm needing this so much.

535
00:30:54.320 --> 00:30:56.040
I really appreciate what everybody,

536
00:30:56.040 --> 00:30:58.000
especially what you said, Hilary.

537
00:30:58.000 --> 00:31:00.440
What you just said remind me of Graham

538
00:31:00.440 --> 00:31:02.400
talking about presumption

539
00:31:02.400 --> 00:31:04.240
and people not wanting to be presumptuous.

540
00:31:04.240 --> 00:31:07.120
And he said he would rather people be presumptuous

541
00:31:07.120 --> 00:31:08.880
than unfaithful.

542
00:31:08.880 --> 00:31:12.160
And yeah, do that step out.

543
00:31:12.160 --> 00:31:14.800
And if we're presumptuous, he knows what to do with that.

544
00:31:14.800 --> 00:31:15.760
No problem.

545
00:31:15.760 --> 00:31:19.600
So I am so excited because my turning point

546
00:31:19.600 --> 00:31:21.480
that prepared me for all of this

547
00:31:21.480 --> 00:31:23.840
was when I was resistant to things

548
00:31:23.840 --> 00:31:25.100
that God was speaking to me

549
00:31:25.100 --> 00:31:28.700
and I realized it was my mind and my feelings

550
00:31:28.700 --> 00:31:30.340
were what was resisting.

551
00:31:30.340 --> 00:31:32.700
And that's when the Lord showed me,

552
00:31:32.700 --> 00:31:34.960
oh, there's another part of us

553
00:31:34.960 --> 00:31:38.340
with which we can say, yes, Lord, honestly.

554
00:31:38.340 --> 00:31:40.220
This is the first time I'm realizing

555
00:31:40.220 --> 00:31:42.740
that applies to doing this.

556
00:31:42.740 --> 00:31:44.940
I mean, that's been scripture.

557
00:31:44.940 --> 00:31:46.140
I haven't thought about it.

558
00:31:46.140 --> 00:31:48.860
Oh, yes, Lord, to this,

559
00:31:48.860 --> 00:31:52.060
no matter what I think and no matter what I feel.

560
00:31:52.060 --> 00:31:53.540
Yes.

561
00:31:53.540 --> 00:31:54.380
Love it.

562
00:31:54.540 --> 00:31:57.220
We're walking in the spirit, even in this.

563
00:31:57.220 --> 00:31:58.060
Even in this.

564
00:31:58.060 --> 00:32:00.020
Oh, it's so obvious.

565
00:32:00.020 --> 00:32:03.380
I love it, Susie.

566
00:32:03.380 --> 00:32:04.940
Hey, Marion.

567
00:32:04.940 --> 00:32:07.620
Hey, well, my breakthrough was originally

568
00:32:07.620 --> 00:32:10.380
when I started to do all of this,

569
00:32:10.380 --> 00:32:12.740
I thought I signed up and I thought

570
00:32:12.740 --> 00:32:15.660
I can never learn the techie details.

571
00:32:15.660 --> 00:32:20.100
I just, it goes right over my head.

572
00:32:20.100 --> 00:32:23.700
And I signed up, I asked Bruce if, you know,

573
00:32:23.740 --> 00:32:25.980
because I said, that's my fear.

574
00:32:25.980 --> 00:32:27.420
And I signed up anyway.

575
00:32:27.420 --> 00:32:30.060
And in fact, halfway through,

576
00:32:30.060 --> 00:32:33.020
I would think the fourth year, I got so frustrated.

577
00:32:33.020 --> 00:32:34.180
There were so many things,

578
00:32:34.180 --> 00:32:36.980
even using a cell phone was hard.

579
00:32:36.980 --> 00:32:39.540
And there was so many things I didn't know,

580
00:32:39.540 --> 00:32:41.180
little details, I thought,

581
00:32:41.180 --> 00:32:44.340
I'm taking up the whole of our question and answers

582
00:32:44.340 --> 00:32:46.820
because I've got so much I need to know.

583
00:32:46.820 --> 00:32:49.620
And I just went to God and I said,

584
00:32:49.620 --> 00:32:52.780
God, I just, you know, what am I going to do?

585
00:32:53.660 --> 00:32:57.100
And all of a sudden he said, I'm your teacher.

586
00:32:57.100 --> 00:32:58.180
I can teach you.

587
00:32:59.100 --> 00:33:01.500
And it just lifted the whole thing.

588
00:33:01.500 --> 00:33:03.740
And, you know, it's not that

589
00:33:03.740 --> 00:33:05.420
I still don't have things to learn.

590
00:33:05.420 --> 00:33:06.780
Now it doesn't worry me.

591
00:33:07.820 --> 00:33:08.660
That's good.

592
00:33:08.660 --> 00:33:11.060
I know, and I do what I know with it.

593
00:33:11.060 --> 00:33:13.460
And I know that I can come up with something,

594
00:33:13.460 --> 00:33:15.180
Bruce will help.

595
00:33:15.180 --> 00:33:19.100
And if he isn't able to, somebody else will.

596
00:33:19.100 --> 00:33:20.340
I know it's there.

597
00:33:20.380 --> 00:33:23.020
But I know there are people that may be like me,

598
00:33:23.020 --> 00:33:26.380
not techie thinking, you know, I can make the videos,

599
00:33:26.380 --> 00:33:28.940
but actually doing all the other stuff

600
00:33:28.940 --> 00:33:33.940
is really beyond overwhelming.

601
00:33:35.420 --> 00:33:36.860
But other people here,

602
00:33:36.860 --> 00:33:41.500
but you just need to know that Bruce is able to help.

603
00:33:41.500 --> 00:33:43.180
Lindsay's able to help.

604
00:33:43.180 --> 00:33:46.140
And if they don't, there are other people like Tamara

605
00:33:46.140 --> 00:33:49.380
or other people on the Facebook group

606
00:33:49.660 --> 00:33:51.540
that have what you need.

607
00:33:51.540 --> 00:33:53.300
And, but it's the teacher

608
00:33:53.300 --> 00:33:55.940
and he can lead you to the right people.

609
00:33:55.940 --> 00:33:56.780
Yeah.

610
00:33:56.780 --> 00:33:57.620
That's awesome.

611
00:33:57.620 --> 00:33:58.460
It's a good word, Marion.

612
00:33:58.460 --> 00:33:59.820
Good word.

613
00:33:59.820 --> 00:34:00.660
That's awesome.

614
00:34:00.660 --> 00:34:01.620
Well, I appreciate you guys.

615
00:34:01.620 --> 00:34:04.500
We just kind of put you guys on the spot.

616
00:34:04.500 --> 00:34:05.340
They know they're fine.

617
00:34:05.340 --> 00:34:06.300
They're kingdom messengers.

618
00:34:06.300 --> 00:34:08.460
You guys are used to just speaking online.

619
00:34:08.460 --> 00:34:09.699
Just speaking online, whenever.

620
00:34:09.699 --> 00:34:10.540
That's awesome.

621
00:34:10.540 --> 00:34:11.380
No, we appreciate that.

622
00:34:11.380 --> 00:34:12.380
The perfect segue then, Marion,

623
00:34:12.380 --> 00:34:13.500
to what we're gonna be talking about tonight.

624
00:34:13.500 --> 00:34:14.340
Cause like Bruce said,

625
00:34:14.340 --> 00:34:16.179
we're gonna be talking about publishing and promoting.

626
00:34:16.179 --> 00:34:18.500
So taking that video that you guys worked on

627
00:34:18.500 --> 00:34:20.900
in your producing phase yesterday.

628
00:34:20.900 --> 00:34:23.420
And we're going to, okay, what do we do with this now?

629
00:34:23.420 --> 00:34:24.620
So.

630
00:34:24.620 --> 00:34:25.540
Yeah.

631
00:34:25.540 --> 00:34:26.380
That's great.

632
00:34:26.380 --> 00:34:27.219
That's awesome.

633
00:34:27.219 --> 00:34:28.060
Is that good?

634
00:34:28.060 --> 00:34:28.900
Yeah.

635
00:34:28.900 --> 00:34:30.580
No, I was just gonna say, no, I appreciate it.

636
00:34:30.580 --> 00:34:31.420
Hopefully that's helpful.

637
00:34:31.420 --> 00:34:32.699
Cause I think, like you said,

638
00:34:32.699 --> 00:34:34.260
I think just hearing from a lot of different people

639
00:34:34.260 --> 00:34:37.300
is very helpful to know that you're not,

640
00:34:37.300 --> 00:34:39.659
sometimes it's good just to know that you're not crazy.

641
00:34:39.659 --> 00:34:40.500
Right?

642
00:34:40.500 --> 00:34:42.580
A lot of times we've found people feel like

643
00:34:42.580 --> 00:34:44.139
everybody else knows the tech,

644
00:34:44.139 --> 00:34:45.820
but I'm the only one who's struggling.

645
00:34:45.820 --> 00:34:48.380
And it's so funny when we sit in our group calls,

646
00:34:49.219 --> 00:34:50.060
which is why we do it as a group,

647
00:34:50.060 --> 00:34:52.460
because someone asks a question and they're like,

648
00:34:52.460 --> 00:34:54.260
and there's probably three or four other people

649
00:34:54.260 --> 00:34:55.300
that had the same question.

650
00:34:55.300 --> 00:34:58.460
They just maybe didn't feel like they should ask it.

651
00:34:58.460 --> 00:35:00.060
But then we found out like, oh.

652
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:02.160
Actually, yeah, everybody's running into this problem.

653
00:35:02.160 --> 00:35:03.720
Okay, like that's, that's okay.

654
00:35:03.720 --> 00:35:04.520
I'm, I'm normal.

655
00:35:04.520 --> 00:35:05.160
This is normal.

656
00:35:05.160 --> 00:35:05.680
It's okay.

657
00:35:05.680 --> 00:35:07.880
Like, this is part of the, part of the territory.

658
00:35:07.960 --> 00:35:08.280
Yeah.

659
00:35:08.280 --> 00:35:08.560
Right.

660
00:35:08.560 --> 00:35:09.400
Taking the territory.

661
00:35:09.400 --> 00:35:14.360
Um, so a couple of things we wanted to do maybe, um, just cause we kind

662
00:35:14.360 --> 00:35:15.440
of changed things up a little bit.

663
00:35:15.440 --> 00:35:17.040
Do you want to, why don't we go through the teaching here and

664
00:35:17.040 --> 00:35:18.480
then we'll do the reviews or.

665
00:35:19.320 --> 00:35:21.120
Oh, they're going to do the reviews.

666
00:35:21.160 --> 00:35:21.440
Yeah.

667
00:35:21.480 --> 00:35:22.120
Let's do that.

668
00:35:22.760 --> 00:35:24.040
You want to teach first and then review?

669
00:35:24.840 --> 00:35:27.760
Well, I think we'll wait, this is still goes with the producing phase.

670
00:35:27.760 --> 00:35:32.960
So what we thought we would do is bring up some of the videos that you posted

671
00:35:33.000 --> 00:35:35.640
and do a live review of those videos.

672
00:35:35.720 --> 00:35:38.880
So we probably won't get to, to like, there's just two or three.

673
00:35:38.880 --> 00:35:43.680
We picked, we'll do this one first from Joe and, uh, I'm going,

674
00:35:43.680 --> 00:35:45.680
give me just one second to share.

675
00:35:46.080 --> 00:35:48.920
So we were, we're going to kind of put our coaching hats on and just give

676
00:35:48.920 --> 00:35:51.600
some quick pointers for these videos.

677
00:35:51.600 --> 00:35:54.640
And we think that because you guys are also done videos, you might hear some

678
00:35:54.640 --> 00:35:57.160
of the feedback and be able to apply it to what you've done as well.

679
00:35:57.160 --> 00:35:58.320
So I thought it would be helpful.

680
00:35:58.640 --> 00:35:59.920
We're going to do Joe lives.

681
00:36:00.000 --> 00:36:00.200
Okay.

682
00:36:00.200 --> 00:36:02.480
Let's let's, uh, I'm going to play this back here.

683
00:36:02.840 --> 00:36:05.640
And then we had, uh, work with me.

684
00:36:05.720 --> 00:36:06.240
There we go.

685
00:36:06.840 --> 00:36:08.400
Facing an intense situation.

686
00:36:08.760 --> 00:36:10.360
Here's what the Bible tells us to do.

687
00:36:10.760 --> 00:36:14.440
In second Samuel 23 11, there's a story about a man named Shama who found

688
00:36:14.440 --> 00:36:16.600
himself in a really intense situation.

689
00:36:16.600 --> 00:36:21.680
He was in a battle for a field and it said that everyone else had run, but he

690
00:36:21.680 --> 00:36:25.440
decided he would station himself in the middle of that field and defend it.

691
00:36:25.760 --> 00:36:28.640
And the Bible records that a great victory was won that day.

692
00:36:28.960 --> 00:36:32.520
You as Christians, we already come from a place of victory.

693
00:36:32.520 --> 00:36:34.680
Jesus has already won the victory for us.

694
00:36:34.920 --> 00:36:38.440
So oftentimes when we're in intense situations, it's because the enemy is

695
00:36:38.440 --> 00:36:42.640
trying to come and just dislodges from our field, dislodges from our victory.

696
00:36:43.200 --> 00:36:46.560
And the Bible tells us in Ephesians 6, 10 through 14, that we got

697
00:36:46.560 --> 00:36:48.400
to put on the armor and we got to stand.

698
00:36:48.640 --> 00:36:51.520
We've got to actively resist the enemy by standing on the word

699
00:36:51.520 --> 00:36:52.880
of God and speaking it out.

700
00:36:53.480 --> 00:36:57.920
So if you find yourself in an intense situation today, trust in the Lord and

701
00:36:57.920 --> 00:37:01.640
he will bring about a great victory in your life, just like Shama.

702
00:37:01.760 --> 00:37:02.320
Awesome.

703
00:37:02.760 --> 00:37:06.720
So we were giggling because Joe said in the chat after playing this, that

704
00:37:06.720 --> 00:37:13.280
he posted the wrong take, but hopefully, you know, we can share just two, three.

705
00:37:13.280 --> 00:37:16.840
And I think what will happen is you'll see some of your own, like we, you

706
00:37:16.840 --> 00:37:19.520
guys can kind of self-correct on some of the feedback we'll give.

707
00:37:19.760 --> 00:37:20.400
This is really good.

708
00:37:20.400 --> 00:37:21.400
I love the concept.

709
00:37:21.400 --> 00:37:22.880
Great hook.

710
00:37:22.960 --> 00:37:27.000
You took us seriously when we said, don't hesitate in those first three

711
00:37:27.000 --> 00:37:28.680
to five seconds, get to the point.

712
00:37:29.040 --> 00:37:32.480
So you asked a question and then you went into the process.

713
00:37:32.480 --> 00:37:34.120
Here's what the Bible has to say about that.

714
00:37:34.120 --> 00:37:35.720
Then you shared a bit about the process.

715
00:37:35.960 --> 00:37:39.280
Then what I love that you did is you invited the person

716
00:37:39.600 --> 00:37:41.480
listening into the process.

717
00:37:41.920 --> 00:37:45.280
Again, Hey, if this is something you're, you're feeling, this is what you can do

718
00:37:45.280 --> 00:37:47.000
and kind of gave the payoff at the end.

719
00:37:47.000 --> 00:37:49.000
Here's what, here's something you can do today.

720
00:37:49.360 --> 00:37:51.440
So that was from a content perspective.

721
00:37:51.480 --> 00:37:52.320
You did a great job.

722
00:37:52.480 --> 00:37:53.080
That's great.

723
00:37:53.400 --> 00:37:53.680
Yeah.

724
00:37:53.680 --> 00:37:57.640
I would say just from a technical, so I saw a lot of people do this and I want

725
00:37:57.640 --> 00:37:59.320
to actually give you guys a thumbs up.

726
00:37:59.320 --> 00:38:04.640
Like recording in your car is a great idea because the sound is actually

727
00:38:04.640 --> 00:38:08.880
really, really crisp because your car is naturally insulated.

728
00:38:08.880 --> 00:38:09.960
It's quiet in the car.

729
00:38:09.960 --> 00:38:12.280
It's this, there's not a lot of echo or anything like that.

730
00:38:12.280 --> 00:38:14.720
So your voice will come up through really punchy and clear.

731
00:38:14.760 --> 00:38:17.200
And you'll usually get really good natural light in the car.

732
00:38:17.280 --> 00:38:17.480
Yeah.

733
00:38:17.480 --> 00:38:19.280
It's just got, you got windows all around.

734
00:38:19.600 --> 00:38:21.160
Um, so that's a great option.

735
00:38:21.160 --> 00:38:23.560
And I've seen a lot of tick tocks, a lot of content.

736
00:38:23.840 --> 00:38:25.240
And I think Rhonda did that too.

737
00:38:25.240 --> 00:38:26.600
She was in the car for her videos.

738
00:38:26.600 --> 00:38:26.840
Yeah.

739
00:38:26.840 --> 00:38:28.400
We saw that on a few people.

740
00:38:28.400 --> 00:38:29.440
So that's great.

741
00:38:29.640 --> 00:38:33.360
The only thing I would say from a technical standpoint is, um, you want to

742
00:38:33.360 --> 00:38:35.520
just grab your phone and just be eye level.

743
00:38:35.560 --> 00:38:37.520
The camera needs to just be eye level with you.

744
00:38:37.840 --> 00:38:40.000
Um, so that way you're not, you don't want to be looking up

745
00:38:40.000 --> 00:38:42.240
too high or looking down too low.

746
00:38:42.240 --> 00:38:43.640
So the camera's a little low here.

747
00:38:43.840 --> 00:38:46.360
Cause it's just a weird perspective thing.

748
00:38:47.320 --> 00:38:50.320
You don't want it to be looking down on people and you don't want

749
00:38:50.320 --> 00:38:53.560
to minimize yourself by doing that.

750
00:38:53.840 --> 00:38:55.040
So eye level is great too.

751
00:38:55.040 --> 00:38:57.040
Cause it's like, you're talking to the person and you're

752
00:38:57.040 --> 00:38:58.080
looking them right in the eye.

753
00:38:58.640 --> 00:39:01.840
So people from a smartphone perspective, you can just show them where that.

754
00:39:01.880 --> 00:39:02.080
Yeah.

755
00:39:02.080 --> 00:39:06.000
And you remember your, your, your camera is just on the very top of your screen.

756
00:39:06.000 --> 00:39:09.160
So don't try not to look too much at you when you're speaking.

757
00:39:09.520 --> 00:39:12.200
Um, but look, try and look up at your camera.

758
00:39:12.200 --> 00:39:14.440
That takes a little bit of skill because we're so used to just look.

759
00:39:14.440 --> 00:39:16.920
You want to see yourself on the screen, but then it doesn't actually

760
00:39:16.920 --> 00:39:20.320
look like you're looking into the camera, into the camera, into the eye level.

761
00:39:20.320 --> 00:39:22.240
Little things.

762
00:39:22.240 --> 00:39:23.000
So that's good.

763
00:39:23.360 --> 00:39:27.000
Um, did you have any questions, Joe, since you're here, if you want to

764
00:39:27.000 --> 00:39:29.400
unmute, you're welcome to respond.

765
00:39:29.400 --> 00:39:33.280
I'd give you a chance since we just like put you on display for everybody.

766
00:39:34.920 --> 00:39:35.280
Good.

767
00:39:35.360 --> 00:39:35.840
All good.

768
00:39:35.880 --> 00:39:36.320
Okay, cool.

769
00:39:36.720 --> 00:39:42.240
Um, and so one thing I'll show as well, uh, and I'll just give this, uh, well,

770
00:39:42.240 --> 00:39:43.280
let's, let's go through all the reviews.

771
00:39:43.280 --> 00:39:44.480
I don't want to keep jumping around.

772
00:39:44.480 --> 00:39:45.560
So let's just pull this up.

773
00:39:45.880 --> 00:39:47.000
You want to do this one?

774
00:39:49.320 --> 00:39:51.320
This was Shelley.

775
00:39:51.320 --> 00:39:51.640
Shelley.

776
00:39:51.640 --> 00:39:52.680
I think Shelley's on here live.

777
00:39:52.680 --> 00:39:53.120
I saw her.

778
00:39:53.120 --> 00:39:53.560
Yeah.

779
00:39:53.720 --> 00:39:54.880
But I saw her somewhere.

780
00:39:55.360 --> 00:39:55.720
Yeah.

781
00:39:56.160 --> 00:39:57.120
So let's watch this.

782
00:39:58.040 --> 00:39:59.960
Hey, what?

783
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:07.000
What is your favorite time of the day to just sit and talk with the Lord?

784
00:40:07.000 --> 00:40:16.000
Mine? Early in the morning. I have my coffee. My dogs are quiet. By the way, I have seven.

785
00:40:16.000 --> 00:40:22.000
It's still quiet outside, but I do live in the country.

786
00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:31.000
But I sit in my chair at the table with my Bible in front of me and a pen and paper,

787
00:40:31.000 --> 00:40:37.000
and I just listen, and I be still in front of the Lord.

788
00:40:37.000 --> 00:40:41.000
And I let Him speak to me, and I speak to Him.

789
00:40:41.000 --> 00:40:45.000
And we have great conversations.

790
00:40:45.000 --> 00:40:53.000
And it's so peaceful and so lovely. I so enjoy my time with the Lord.

791
00:40:53.000 --> 00:40:56.000
I hope you do, too.

792
00:40:56.000 --> 00:41:01.000
Okay, Shelly, you probably have thought about this after we gave Joe feedback on the hook.

793
00:41:01.000 --> 00:41:07.000
So you started off with, hey, I want to encourage you to go straight to the point.

794
00:41:07.000 --> 00:41:11.000
Don't even say hello. I know it seems very impolite, but this is how things work on TikTok,

795
00:41:11.000 --> 00:41:15.000
because we want to maximize the first three to five seconds.

796
00:41:15.000 --> 00:41:19.000
Really, those first three seconds are pretty critical when it comes to gaining people's attention,

797
00:41:19.000 --> 00:41:23.000
because they're making a pretty quick decision if they're going to keep scrolling or stop to watch.

798
00:41:23.000 --> 00:41:32.000
So jump into it. And I would say focus on how you can bring someone in to the process quicker.

799
00:41:32.000 --> 00:41:37.000
So you talked about your quiet time, which is awesome, because we said share some of your story.

800
00:41:37.000 --> 00:41:42.000
Think of ways that you can connect the listener with the story that you're sharing.

801
00:41:42.000 --> 00:41:46.000
And maybe you don't assume anything like, do you hate quiet time?

802
00:41:46.000 --> 00:41:51.000
I love that you said, I love quiet time. So you can kind of make it about your quiet time.

803
00:41:51.000 --> 00:41:56.000
And here's three things that I do during my quiet time. Like this could be your hook.

804
00:41:56.000 --> 00:42:00.000
Here's three things I do during my quiet time that makes it a delight.

805
00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:02.000
And you can just share three things.

806
00:42:02.000 --> 00:42:07.000
And then at the end, you can say, if you want your quiet time with the Lord to be a delight,

807
00:42:07.000 --> 00:42:10.000
I would encourage you to try these three things. So that could be like the payoff.

808
00:42:10.000 --> 00:42:15.000
So you're inviting them into it a little bit. You're sharing something within a framework of,

809
00:42:15.000 --> 00:42:20.000
here's some helpful information. Here's some value from my own story. And you can get fun with it.

810
00:42:20.000 --> 00:42:25.000
What you did great is you looked right into the camera. It was very inviting and engaging.

811
00:42:25.000 --> 00:42:30.000
Your facial expressions were very warm, like you weren't frowning. You weren't looking angry.

812
00:42:30.000 --> 00:42:34.000
One thing that Bruce can speak to is the glare on your glasses.

813
00:42:34.000 --> 00:42:39.000
I know a lot of people that are glasses wearers ask about this. How do I get rid of the glare?

814
00:42:39.000 --> 00:42:43.000
So, yeah, there's a couple of things, you know, just take a second and kind of just notice it.

815
00:42:43.000 --> 00:42:47.000
Because if you because we naturally when we're talking, people just move up and down.

816
00:42:47.000 --> 00:42:52.000
You kind of look to the side. So if you wear glasses and both Lindsay and I wear glasses and contacts.

817
00:42:52.000 --> 00:42:57.000
So this is we know we understand this. What you want to do is if there's any light.

818
00:42:57.000 --> 00:43:01.000
So let's say there's like a lamp or something that is eye level. Just think about it.

819
00:43:01.000 --> 00:43:06.000
It's going to like go from that light. It's going to bounce into your your glasses and it's going to reflect back into the camera.

820
00:43:06.000 --> 00:43:11.000
So all you want to do is really just take the light source.

821
00:43:11.000 --> 00:43:15.000
Either turn it off or, you know, obviously, if you need it, but just just raise it up.

822
00:43:15.000 --> 00:43:19.000
That's the idea. So just change that angle so that it's coming down and then it's going to bounce away.

823
00:43:19.000 --> 00:43:22.000
Essentially, if you're using it'll take some some practice.

824
00:43:22.000 --> 00:43:26.000
Yeah. If you're using natural light, you might have to just play around with the blinds a little bit.

825
00:43:26.000 --> 00:43:31.000
Kind of like bring the blinds down to the side, turn to the side, kind of at a forty five degree, forty five.

826
00:43:31.000 --> 00:43:37.000
You're saying that right angle. So you're not looking directly into the window, but you're kind of facing this way.

827
00:43:37.000 --> 00:43:46.000
And do just a few quick tests like record yourself for three to five seconds and just make sure like, OK, is that glare still hitting?

828
00:43:46.000 --> 00:43:51.000
So you might have to move around a little bit. But if it if it's driving you crazy and you're like, how do I get rid of the glare?

829
00:43:51.000 --> 00:43:55.000
Those are some ways that you can do that. If you're if you guys wear glasses.

830
00:43:55.000 --> 00:44:01.000
Did you have any questions, Shelley? While you're while we. We're all good.

831
00:44:01.000 --> 00:44:08.000
Cool. I see you're muted. So. Awesome.

832
00:44:08.000 --> 00:44:15.000
OK, let's jump into we have Kathy next.

833
00:44:16.000 --> 00:44:22.000
Have you ever wondered how God feels about us? I know I'm getting older and I've thought about that a lot of times.

834
00:44:22.000 --> 00:44:26.000
How does God not just feel about us, but how does he feel about me?

835
00:44:26.000 --> 00:44:32.000
Hi, my name is Kathy Haker and I have a passion to help other people understand God's grace.

836
00:44:32.000 --> 00:44:38.000
I found the answer to my question, how God feels about us in the story of the prodigal son.

837
00:44:38.000 --> 00:44:46.000
Most of us can identify with him. We've made pig pens of our own and we've been far away from the father.

838
00:44:46.000 --> 00:44:51.000
But in the story of the prodigal son, he came back home to his dad.

839
00:44:51.000 --> 00:44:57.000
And when he did, the Bible says the father didn't feel angry. He didn't feel disappointed.

840
00:44:57.000 --> 00:45:00.000
He didn't feel disgust, said he felt compassion.

841
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:05.880
Have you ever thought about that, that when we're in the pigpen or we're on the way home

842
00:45:05.880 --> 00:45:11.640
from the pigpen, how God feels about us is in one word, compassion.

843
00:45:11.640 --> 00:45:16.240
The Bible says that when Jesus looked about on the crowds, he felt compassion for them

844
00:45:16.240 --> 00:45:20.120
because they were like sheep without a shepherd.

845
00:45:20.120 --> 00:45:24.360
Be comforted today that God's not mad at you.

846
00:45:24.360 --> 00:45:27.560
He has compassion on you.

847
00:45:27.560 --> 00:45:28.560
Awesome.

848
00:45:29.120 --> 00:45:30.120
It's good.

849
00:45:30.120 --> 00:45:31.120
Way to go, Cathy.

850
00:45:31.120 --> 00:45:32.120
That was awesome.

851
00:45:32.120 --> 00:45:36.120
From a content perspective, I loved it.

852
00:45:36.120 --> 00:45:37.120
Quick tech.

853
00:45:37.120 --> 00:45:38.120
Yeah.

854
00:45:38.120 --> 00:45:42.480
Actually, I think there's almost the only, I mean, I'll comment on just one piece of

855
00:45:42.480 --> 00:45:45.720
the content as a, more from an editing standpoint.

856
00:45:45.720 --> 00:45:48.400
There's almost three TikToks in there.

857
00:45:48.400 --> 00:45:52.400
And I love even just one of the, sometimes this will be for some people as well.

858
00:45:52.400 --> 00:45:57.520
I think some, if you go back and listen to that, like there's a really great hook and

859
00:45:57.520 --> 00:46:01.760
I'll, maybe I can try and find it really quick, but sometimes you can take, make a

860
00:46:01.760 --> 00:46:07.600
second TikTok by taking a sentence that's like one of your second or last sentence sentences

861
00:46:07.600 --> 00:46:09.720
and make that the hook for the next video.

862
00:46:09.720 --> 00:46:11.320
And then just talk about that one thing.

863
00:46:11.320 --> 00:46:16.040
So sometimes you can just rearrange the script a little bit and you can have multiple TikToks.

864
00:46:16.040 --> 00:46:19.960
I think there's a couple of ways you could get that way you get two or three posts out

865
00:46:19.960 --> 00:46:20.960
of it.

866
00:46:20.960 --> 00:46:26.120
Cause it's such a weighty message and there's many ways that we can talk about that from

867
00:46:26.120 --> 00:46:27.120
different perspectives.

868
00:46:27.720 --> 00:46:32.480
So the one thing I would just say from a tech perspective as well, just know that when you

869
00:46:32.480 --> 00:46:38.560
do put this on TikTok, TikTok is going to crop it for you.

870
00:46:38.560 --> 00:46:41.360
So I'm going to see if I can draw this on the screen here.

871
00:46:42.000 --> 00:46:44.040
Let me see if I can make that a lot thicker.

872
00:46:44.760 --> 00:46:45.280
I cannot.

873
00:46:49.000 --> 00:46:50.080
Let's just see here.

874
00:46:53.920 --> 00:46:55.000
OK, there we go.

875
00:46:55.880 --> 00:46:57.000
So it's going to crop it.

876
00:46:57.000 --> 00:46:59.480
Let me try to draw that again now that it's working.

877
00:46:59.480 --> 00:47:01.360
So it's going to crop it something like that.

878
00:47:01.360 --> 00:47:05.520
So just know that if you're going to film landscape like this, and I think you're probably

879
00:47:05.520 --> 00:47:09.400
using your webcam for this, that's totally fine.

880
00:47:09.400 --> 00:47:15.480
Just know, maybe step back a little bit so that it's not quite filling your whole face.

881
00:47:15.480 --> 00:47:16.840
So kind of just give it some space.

882
00:47:17.000 --> 00:47:20.200
Just know that TikTok will crop it up and down vertically.

883
00:47:20.600 --> 00:47:25.400
So again, you can use it on your phone or something else, but you can still use this

884
00:47:25.400 --> 00:47:27.720
video. I don't want to say don't use this video.

885
00:47:27.720 --> 00:47:32.360
I would most of what you guys, most of everybody who posted, honestly, like you guys

886
00:47:32.360 --> 00:47:34.280
should be posting that on TikTok.

887
00:47:34.280 --> 00:47:36.200
Right. Don't hold back.

888
00:47:36.360 --> 00:47:40.920
So while we're giving some feedback, take that feedback for maybe video number two,

889
00:47:40.920 --> 00:47:42.280
three, four.

890
00:47:42.280 --> 00:47:42.800
Right. Yeah.

891
00:47:43.200 --> 00:47:48.200
Awesome. So and we'll take it to a few more and we'll do a lot of like questions and stuff

892
00:47:49.200 --> 00:47:54.120
because I think some of this is helpful to kind of get really into the practical, you

893
00:47:54.120 --> 00:47:56.960
know, kind of steps here. One, did you have a question there?

894
00:47:56.960 --> 00:47:58.760
I think Shelly said she had a question.

895
00:47:59.440 --> 00:48:01.040
She just wasn't able to. Oh, you had questions.

896
00:48:01.040 --> 00:48:02.320
Did you want to unmute yourself?

897
00:48:02.640 --> 00:48:03.720
Shelly, are you here?

898
00:48:03.920 --> 00:48:05.360
Let me see if I thought I saw you.

899
00:48:05.600 --> 00:48:07.080
I am. Oh, there you are.

900
00:48:11.920 --> 00:48:12.920
Go for it.

901
00:48:13.280 --> 00:48:14.640
You're with me, yeah.

902
00:48:15.320 --> 00:48:23.160
Yeah. So one of the questions I had, I did on the second video that I did, I actually

903
00:48:23.160 --> 00:48:27.200
was talking about a scripture and was kind of asking them, you know, what what is your

904
00:48:27.200 --> 00:48:31.480
favorite scripture? You know, because, you know, I have a scripture and this is what

905
00:48:31.480 --> 00:48:32.680
it is. What is your favorite scripture?

906
00:48:33.080 --> 00:48:40.200
And so should I also if I do it like that, should I also do a point or should it would

907
00:48:40.200 --> 00:48:42.160
that be the question and the hook?

908
00:48:42.800 --> 00:48:46.920
Yeah, that could be like you sharing and then asking them to comment with their

909
00:48:46.920 --> 00:48:49.480
favorite scripture is a video in itself.

910
00:48:50.280 --> 00:48:53.320
I'm just getting a conversation about, hey, this is my favorite scripture.

911
00:48:53.320 --> 00:48:54.640
This is my life verse.

912
00:48:55.040 --> 00:48:58.520
Like I think another you can do variations of that.

913
00:48:58.520 --> 00:49:02.040
This is if you're if it's a life verse or it's a favorite verse, you can share a story

914
00:49:02.040 --> 00:49:06.280
about it. You can do one that's like, here's how here's how I discovered my favorite

915
00:49:06.280 --> 00:49:09.360
verse or here's the story behind my life verse.

916
00:49:09.360 --> 00:49:14.360
And then at the end, you can say, tell me about your life verse and why you love it so

917
00:49:14.360 --> 00:49:17.680
much or your favorite comment below with comment below with your favorite.

918
00:49:18.000 --> 00:49:19.760
People are very good.

919
00:49:21.120 --> 00:49:27.040
So when you were talking about the glare, I was using my phone, but I'm sitting in front

920
00:49:27.040 --> 00:49:27.920
of my computer.

921
00:49:28.160 --> 00:49:33.800
OK, it's so that I was I had all white and then I have a window behind me.

922
00:49:33.800 --> 00:49:40.280
So I tried to put black on my computer so it wouldn't show my glasses, but I don't and

923
00:49:40.280 --> 00:49:43.200
I kept trying to do this, but it made it look weird.

924
00:49:44.040 --> 00:49:51.040
So I don't know where to actually I guess back in like the Joe, the way he did it in

925
00:49:51.320 --> 00:49:52.120
his car.

926
00:49:53.400 --> 00:49:54.280
It's a great place.

927
00:49:54.280 --> 00:49:57.080
It's a great if you're if you're like my house is too loud.

928
00:49:57.080 --> 00:49:59.560
There's many people that you guys I don't.

929
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:02.280
Yeah, if you're like, my house is too loud.

930
00:50:02.280 --> 00:50:03.840
There's too many people who live there.

931
00:50:03.840 --> 00:50:04.840
My office is a mess.

932
00:50:04.840 --> 00:50:06.080
I don't want to show that on camera.

933
00:50:06.080 --> 00:50:08.840
Like get in your car and share in your car.

934
00:50:08.840 --> 00:50:11.320
It's a great, it's a great studio.

935
00:50:11.320 --> 00:50:14.060
One of our members, actually, Monica,

936
00:50:14.060 --> 00:50:17.160
she's been, she's working doing this like store thing.

937
00:50:17.160 --> 00:50:19.720
Amazing, starting a store in this mall is awesome.

938
00:50:19.720 --> 00:50:22.640
And so her time to film is on her drive.

939
00:50:22.640 --> 00:50:24.360
Now I don't necessarily recommend this.

940
00:50:24.360 --> 00:50:26.240
She's not holding her phone.

941
00:50:26.240 --> 00:50:28.940
She has it on like a little stand and she hits record

942
00:50:28.940 --> 00:50:31.380
and she like records these TikToks while she,

943
00:50:31.380 --> 00:50:33.020
and she goes live from Facebook,

944
00:50:33.020 --> 00:50:35.060
like while she's driving to her work.

945
00:50:35.060 --> 00:50:39.040
I used to drive like five hours, four hours a day

946
00:50:39.040 --> 00:50:41.540
to a drilling rig to work.

947
00:50:41.540 --> 00:50:43.840
I used to watch TV while I was driving.

948
00:50:43.840 --> 00:50:44.680
So-

949
00:50:44.680 --> 00:50:45.500
You can't admit that here, Shelly.

950
00:50:45.500 --> 00:50:47.140
You can't admit that.

951
00:50:47.140 --> 00:50:49.540
We've worked this far, she's been doing this.

952
00:50:49.540 --> 00:50:50.380
That's great.

953
00:50:50.380 --> 00:50:53.960
I can understand why she's doing that.

954
00:50:53.960 --> 00:50:54.800
I could do that.

955
00:50:54.800 --> 00:50:56.220
That's great.

956
00:50:56.220 --> 00:50:58.260
Yeah, no, and just, here's the thing.

957
00:50:58.580 --> 00:51:01.020
If you're just doing it a lot, you will try different spots.

958
00:51:01.020 --> 00:51:03.580
We have filmed so many ads around this office

959
00:51:03.580 --> 00:51:05.020
to figure out a good spot.

960
00:51:05.020 --> 00:51:06.780
Then we'll, you know, we'll sit on our front porch.

961
00:51:06.780 --> 00:51:09.020
We'll try different backgrounds.

962
00:51:09.020 --> 00:51:11.260
You'll find, oh, during like in mornings,

963
00:51:11.260 --> 00:51:12.340
this room is really good.

964
00:51:12.340 --> 00:51:15.060
But like this room is, there's just sun streaming in

965
00:51:15.060 --> 00:51:17.900
and you don't necessarily want like direct sunlight on you

966
00:51:17.900 --> 00:51:19.900
because then you're gonna be like squinting.

967
00:51:19.900 --> 00:51:22.420
You just want kind of, you know, so anyway,

968
00:51:22.420 --> 00:51:24.420
just you'll just have to, it's just experimentation

969
00:51:24.420 --> 00:51:26.580
and seeing what works well.

970
00:51:26.580 --> 00:51:28.380
The better thing is that you just keep recording.

971
00:51:28.380 --> 00:51:29.580
You keep hitting record.

972
00:51:29.580 --> 00:51:31.060
You try it.

973
00:51:31.060 --> 00:51:34.060
We were joking last night that Lindsey was using the window.

974
00:51:34.060 --> 00:51:35.140
And so like some of the episodes

975
00:51:35.140 --> 00:51:36.340
were just really, really dark.

976
00:51:36.340 --> 00:51:38.580
And some of them were like crazy bright

977
00:51:38.580 --> 00:51:39.780
and we still published them.

978
00:51:39.780 --> 00:51:41.420
And people were still impacted.

979
00:51:41.420 --> 00:51:42.620
So don't let that.

980
00:51:42.620 --> 00:51:43.900
And unfortunately, some of the ones

981
00:51:43.900 --> 00:51:45.180
that you don't like the most

982
00:51:45.180 --> 00:51:47.340
are gonna become your most popular content.

983
00:51:47.340 --> 00:51:49.620
That's just how it works.

984
00:51:49.620 --> 00:51:50.940
But thanks for sharing.

985
00:51:50.940 --> 00:51:53.380
Yeah, awesome.

986
00:51:53.380 --> 00:51:54.820
And guys, if you have time,

987
00:51:54.980 --> 00:51:57.300
go check out some people's videos.

988
00:51:57.300 --> 00:51:59.180
I would say if you posted a video

989
00:51:59.180 --> 00:52:01.260
and people are giving you feedback,

990
00:52:01.260 --> 00:52:03.260
maybe go and find three other people's videos

991
00:52:03.260 --> 00:52:04.300
and just give them feedback.

992
00:52:04.300 --> 00:52:05.820
I know when we were watching this,

993
00:52:05.820 --> 00:52:08.500
you guys are so encouraging in the comments,

994
00:52:08.500 --> 00:52:10.300
just letting people know, hey, this is awesome.

995
00:52:10.300 --> 00:52:11.140
It's moving.

996
00:52:11.140 --> 00:52:12.220
It's powerful.

997
00:52:12.220 --> 00:52:13.340
I think that's really helpful

998
00:52:13.340 --> 00:52:15.180
because we need to encourage each other as a community.

999
00:52:15.180 --> 00:52:16.460
This is hard.

1000
00:52:16.460 --> 00:52:18.740
Some of you guys are putting this out for the first time

1001
00:52:18.740 --> 00:52:20.060
and you're like, it's very scary

1002
00:52:20.060 --> 00:52:24.700
to put yourself on camera with your content,

1003
00:52:25.700 --> 00:52:26.980
so just let's try to encourage.

1004
00:52:26.980 --> 00:52:28.780
So the seed of encouragement.

1005
00:52:28.780 --> 00:52:31.140
So we are gonna get to some practical things,

1006
00:52:31.140 --> 00:52:34.020
but I do wanna, before we jump into the practical,

1007
00:52:34.020 --> 00:52:35.980
we did something a little different this time,

1008
00:52:35.980 --> 00:52:39.380
which we hadn't planned at the beginning of the challenge,

1009
00:52:39.380 --> 00:52:41.500
but we understand that there is quite a few steps

1010
00:52:41.500 --> 00:52:44.420
to actually posting that video on TikTok.

1011
00:52:44.420 --> 00:52:46.100
So because we have such limited time

1012
00:52:46.100 --> 00:52:48.660
with our live sessions here,

1013
00:52:48.660 --> 00:52:50.500
we wanted to have that to be more of a dialogue

1014
00:52:50.500 --> 00:52:51.940
and a conversation,

1015
00:52:51.940 --> 00:52:55.940
but we did some really good training earlier this year

1016
00:52:55.940 --> 00:52:59.020
on literally a step-by-step on how to do TikTok.

1017
00:52:59.020 --> 00:53:01.140
So what we've done is I've taken

1018
00:53:01.140 --> 00:53:02.620
some of those masterclasses,

1019
00:53:02.620 --> 00:53:04.420
some of those pieces of the masterclasses,

1020
00:53:04.420 --> 00:53:07.340
and we've put them for you guys for free,

1021
00:53:07.340 --> 00:53:10.260
just as a bonus to go watch some of that training.

1022
00:53:10.260 --> 00:53:14.380
So I'm gonna jump over here to show you where that is.

1023
00:53:14.380 --> 00:53:17.820
So if we click over to the challenge day three,

1024
00:53:17.820 --> 00:53:18.980
there's a video called

1025
00:53:18.980 --> 00:53:21.460
how to record your first TikTok post.

1026
00:53:21.980 --> 00:53:24.060
So some of the things about holding an eye level

1027
00:53:24.060 --> 00:53:27.140
and where to stand, window, all that stuff.

1028
00:53:27.140 --> 00:53:30.180
Lindsay actually records one live for us

1029
00:53:30.180 --> 00:53:31.020
in this little demo.

1030
00:53:31.020 --> 00:53:33.500
And this is about eight minutes long.

1031
00:53:33.500 --> 00:53:36.340
And then you can go, there's one called,

1032
00:53:39.620 --> 00:53:41.420
sorry, I was looking at post your feedback.

1033
00:53:41.420 --> 00:53:42.580
That's the video that we,

1034
00:53:42.580 --> 00:53:43.900
this was the process we just went through.

1035
00:53:43.900 --> 00:53:45.980
So it's these two videos right here,

1036
00:53:45.980 --> 00:53:47.060
live posting a demo.

1037
00:53:47.060 --> 00:53:49.860
So this one's about 22 minutes long

1038
00:53:49.900 --> 00:53:50.740
and Isaac Holt,

1039
00:53:51.740 --> 00:53:53.100
who's been someone who's been very helpful.

1040
00:53:53.100 --> 00:53:55.820
He was the friend back in the story.

1041
00:53:55.820 --> 00:53:56.660
He told me to get on TikTok.

1042
00:53:56.660 --> 00:53:58.220
To get on TikTok.

1043
00:53:58.220 --> 00:53:59.420
He's an awesome guy.

1044
00:53:59.420 --> 00:54:01.020
And he came and helped us with the training.

1045
00:54:01.020 --> 00:54:03.820
And so this is, he takes 20 minutes or so

1046
00:54:03.820 --> 00:54:05.260
and just walks you through like,

1047
00:54:05.260 --> 00:54:07.220
okay, now click the TikTok app.

1048
00:54:07.220 --> 00:54:08.180
Now click this button.

1049
00:54:08.180 --> 00:54:09.060
Now do this thing.

1050
00:54:09.060 --> 00:54:11.700
And now, and then he talks about adding hashtags

1051
00:54:11.700 --> 00:54:12.540
and a bunch of things.

1052
00:54:12.540 --> 00:54:13.860
And we're gonna touch on some of that tonight,

1053
00:54:13.860 --> 00:54:16.540
but just know before we get into some of the training,

1054
00:54:16.540 --> 00:54:17.940
there's a step-by-step guide.

1055
00:54:17.940 --> 00:54:18.860
You guys can watch it.

1056
00:54:18.860 --> 00:54:19.700
You can pause it.

1057
00:54:20.540 --> 00:54:22.060
You can go follow along.

1058
00:54:22.060 --> 00:54:23.460
So we're just gonna make that available

1059
00:54:23.460 --> 00:54:25.340
because I think that's gonna help you guys out.

1060
00:54:25.340 --> 00:54:27.620
And that would just allow us to have more

1061
00:54:27.620 --> 00:54:29.220
dialogue on here.

1062
00:54:29.220 --> 00:54:32.460
And then we can, you guys can look at that later.

1063
00:54:32.460 --> 00:54:36.980
So, okay, let's get into this.

1064
00:54:36.980 --> 00:54:38.500
Publish.

1065
00:54:38.500 --> 00:54:40.380
So we're on number three.

1066
00:54:40.380 --> 00:54:42.980
I just need to find screen.

1067
00:54:42.980 --> 00:54:45.980
Okay, so last night we talked about planning and producing.

1068
00:54:45.980 --> 00:54:47.580
So we're writing our episodes.

1069
00:54:47.580 --> 00:54:48.900
We're putting all the content together.

1070
00:54:48.900 --> 00:54:52.020
And then we're gonna actually produce that content.

1071
00:54:52.020 --> 00:54:53.580
Many of you have already done.

1072
00:54:53.580 --> 00:54:54.420
Right.

1073
00:54:54.420 --> 00:54:55.260
Which is awesome.

1074
00:54:55.260 --> 00:54:56.100
And so.

1075
00:54:56.100 --> 00:54:57.340
You're halfway there.

1076
00:54:57.340 --> 00:55:00.060
So let's just jump into publish.

1077
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:09.000
So, there are a number of things we just justice I don't want to let my screen, which were you looking at.

1078
00:55:09.000 --> 00:55:10.000
Okay, cool.

1079
00:55:10.000 --> 00:55:28.000
So, for publish. When you're posting on Tick Tock, you can use things like popular hashtags so I'll explain what this is in the description you can put the pound sign hashtag, and then you can type a phrase you can say like Christian, Tick Tock, or you can

1080
00:55:28.000 --> 00:55:36.000
say, you know, Jesus, you know, so when you do that, you'll see something that looks like this on the far right I know it's a little small.

1081
00:55:36.000 --> 00:55:49.000
But you can see on the right here when I start typing social media tips hashtag social media tips has 35 million views, but social media tip without the s only has 4 million views.

1082
00:55:50.000 --> 00:56:06.000
So you kind of want to be in at least, you know, a few million views, you know, maybe to 100 million views, there are things like if you do hashtag Jesus, there are literally billions of views for that so you probably aren't going to get like listed

1083
00:56:06.000 --> 00:56:20.000
because there's just so much traffic like overly saturated saturated but you can say like a hashtag like Jesus is life like that would be a more specific hashtag so as you type this and what we're going to do in this training is just told you the strategy of how

1084
00:56:20.000 --> 00:56:34.000
to do this so when you get ready to post, there'll be a place where you can add hashtags, and you can just go in in there and actually choose one of these and when you start searching so maybe your topic is about Christian marriages, you know, a Christian marriage

1085
00:56:35.000 --> 00:56:51.000
and then a bunch of suggestions are going to come up for you. It does all the work for you and you can just kind of pick two or three of those hashtags to be on your video and what that does is it tells Tick Tock hey this video is for Christians, and people who want help

1086
00:56:51.000 --> 00:57:06.000
with Christian marriage, right so now other people who already maybe have hundreds of thousands of followers are posting content about that but your content now gets served, if that person, you know, if a person who's consuming content, you know, is tagged as as enjoying

1087
00:57:06.000 --> 00:57:19.000
that type of content, Tick Tock will automatically take your video for you and put it in front of someone else. So I hope that you guys are making the connection to have how important it is when you're talking about knowing your who how that can feed into this process

1088
00:57:19.000 --> 00:57:36.000
as well. Because when you know your who you can think through like some hashtags around that who, whether it's people who have been divorced whether it's parenthood or people who are rock hounds right is that the correct title, Dan so that's why when you know

1089
00:57:36.000 --> 00:57:51.000
who is or you have an idea of your who, it helps you target them with this strategy, right. Absolutely. And, and so these are just things if you don't do the hashtags, you're going to be missing out on a ton of views that you could be getting and then you may think

1090
00:57:51.000 --> 00:58:03.000
somebody likes my video. Yeah, that's not the case, it's that you may just be some of these practical things. And yes, we're getting asked is this on Tick Tock yeah this is what it looks like when you're on Tick Tock, and yeah, you're going to see a window.

1091
00:58:03.000 --> 00:58:18.000
And for this everybody like when you post on Tick Tock you are going to be on the Tick Tock app on your smartphone. There is technically a way to do it on the website it is not built for that really yeah the website does not as well on your computers.

1092
00:58:18.000 --> 00:58:34.000
So to do that you can you can set it up a pretty quick but when we show you a screenshot here yeah that's going to be on the app, and all the features to edit your video, add music, add the hashtags and then post it it's all going to be inside that Tick

1093
00:58:34.000 --> 00:59:02.000
Tock app so they make it pretty easy.

1094
00:59:03.000 --> 00:59:18.000
cares about is keeping people on the platform, right like they they don't care now it's a great question Joe copyright issues. So this is where Tick Tock has actually kind of found a way around this, they have a, they've actually worked with artists to make sure

1095
00:59:19.000 --> 00:59:34.000
views and the royalties and it links back to that artists page so you can't just go and upload your own music, but you can just search and see what's on there so they have this has to be done in the app you don't add music prior to recording your video or, you know, prior to

1096
00:59:34.000 --> 00:59:46.000
putting it in the app and you don't like have music playing in the background while you're recording because it will pick up as a copyright, but you can use the music that the app has, and they have clips that they have worked out with the artist and it's free.

1097
00:59:46.000 --> 00:59:56.000
It's free for you to use as a clip. Absolutely. Yeah, so just use what's there if it's on Tick Tock and the audio section, you're allowed to use it, that's the short version.

1098
00:59:56.000 --> 00:59:58.000
Now to help you guys get started.

1099
00:59:58.000 --> 01:00:00.000
You can come back you can pause the video.

1100
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:02.760
You can screenshot this, you can write these down.

1101
01:00:02.960 --> 01:00:05.360
These are the hashtags you would everybody should have.

1102
01:00:05.560 --> 01:00:11.520
This first top one is hashtag for you page, hashtag FYP, hashtag for you.

1103
01:00:11.720 --> 01:00:15.760
And then hashtag for number four, YP.

1104
01:00:15.960 --> 01:00:17.680
And so you're just going to tick tock.

1105
01:00:17.880 --> 01:00:19.400
This is tick tock specific.

1106
01:00:19.600 --> 01:00:23.040
This will help service to people that this is a really good fit for.

1107
01:00:23.040 --> 01:00:24.880
That's just there's kind of a little hack.

1108
01:00:25.080 --> 01:00:27.840
This is something that Isaac showed and that he does on video.

1109
01:00:27.840 --> 01:00:31.600
So for example, down here below, it shows you the first line is just

1110
01:00:31.800 --> 01:00:34.240
the for you page line of all the hashtags.

1111
01:00:34.440 --> 01:00:37.720
And then there's things like Christian tick tock, Christian life,

1112
01:00:37.920 --> 01:00:40.880
hashtag Christian girl, this is for Lindsay's podcast.

1113
01:00:41.080 --> 01:00:43.880
So hashtag Christian girl, hashtag Christian, hashtag Jesus,

1114
01:00:44.080 --> 01:00:46.880
hashtag Jesus loves you, hashtag Christian boy.

1115
01:00:47.080 --> 01:00:50.600
So it's just grabbing and he's used some

1116
01:00:50.600 --> 01:00:53.400
of these over and over and just tested a lot of them.

1117
01:00:53.600 --> 01:00:54.480
You can definitely start here.

1118
01:00:54.680 --> 01:00:56.920
If a guy don't put hashtag Christian girl,

1119
01:00:57.080 --> 01:01:00.120
probably going to attract the wrong audience for the wrong reasons.

1120
01:01:00.320 --> 01:01:02.280
Again, think about it in your scenario.

1121
01:01:02.280 --> 01:01:03.600
But we wanted to show you what it would

1122
01:01:03.800 --> 01:01:07.680
look like when you use a for you and then you're the hashtags that you choose

1123
01:01:07.680 --> 01:01:08.920
for your topic and your who.

1124
01:01:09.120 --> 01:01:11.640
And again, the strategy is go and search for it.

1125
01:01:11.840 --> 01:01:14.800
You're saying you'll find ones that, you know.

1126
01:01:15.000 --> 01:01:17.600
So and again, don't overthink it.

1127
01:01:17.800 --> 01:01:19.760
If there's only hashtags that have hundreds

1128
01:01:19.760 --> 01:01:21.440
of thousands of views, that's still awesome.

1129
01:01:21.640 --> 01:01:25.000
Like imagine if you got one hundred thousand views, you'd be very happy with that.

1130
01:01:25.000 --> 01:01:27.040
So anywhere in the hundreds of thousands

1131
01:01:27.240 --> 01:01:31.400
of searches versus all the way up to, you know, millions is good.

1132
01:01:31.600 --> 01:01:33.480
Just try to avoid anything with, you know, billions.

1133
01:01:33.680 --> 01:01:35.240
Basically, you're helping tick tock,

1134
01:01:35.440 --> 01:01:39.240
understand what your video is about so they can get it in front of the person

1135
01:01:39.240 --> 01:01:42.440
that it's for. So this is how you work with their algorithm.

1136
01:01:42.640 --> 01:01:44.200
So that's why you want to be able to tag

1137
01:01:44.400 --> 01:01:48.440
it with the hashtags and then using the music is like another way to tag it to

1138
01:01:48.640 --> 01:01:52.480
where it's saying, oh, well, these people have watched things with this music.

1139
01:01:52.480 --> 01:01:53.560
So I'm going to serve it up to them.

1140
01:01:53.560 --> 01:01:56.760
So you're just working within the algorithm to get them to put it in front

1141
01:01:56.960 --> 01:02:00.560
of people and people that are actually wanting to watch your content.

1142
01:02:00.760 --> 01:02:02.120
Right.

1143
01:02:02.320 --> 01:02:04.960
And so a quick question, I'll move on to the songs and then I'll

1144
01:02:05.160 --> 01:02:07.080
answer questions in the chat here.

1145
01:02:07.280 --> 01:02:08.440
Same thing with songs.

1146
01:02:08.640 --> 01:02:12.600
You can start with these again when we share songs like this.

1147
01:02:12.800 --> 01:02:16.040
You know, it changes every day, literally on TikTok.

1148
01:02:16.040 --> 01:02:17.320
So you get the idea.

1149
01:02:17.320 --> 01:02:19.680
There could be something from Hillsong, something from Bethel.

1150
01:02:19.880 --> 01:02:22.520
It could be something from Elevation Church, whatever.

1151
01:02:22.720 --> 01:02:25.480
You know, try to find out what you like to listen to.

1152
01:02:25.480 --> 01:02:27.080
Sometimes it's a good place to start

1153
01:02:27.080 --> 01:02:29.560
and just be like, hey, is this something that's trending right now?

1154
01:02:29.560 --> 01:02:33.320
Yeah. And if you just type in worship, you'll get a lot of suggestions back.

1155
01:02:33.520 --> 01:02:35.840
I would recommend using some instrumental

1156
01:02:36.040 --> 01:02:38.760
music so that it's not there's not like loud singing.

1157
01:02:38.960 --> 01:02:41.840
That's also with going over your voice.

1158
01:02:42.040 --> 01:02:44.880
In Isaac's example, he will show you how

1159
01:02:45.080 --> 01:02:48.760
to turn the music really soft as well so that's not competing with your voice.

1160
01:02:48.760 --> 01:02:52.320
This is just a little setting in TikTok to to make that change.

1161
01:02:52.520 --> 01:02:56.520
But again, this is going to be specific to the day, the week.

1162
01:02:56.520 --> 01:02:59.960
So as soon as we show you a slide like this, it's probably outdated.

1163
01:03:00.160 --> 01:03:01.240
So just go and search.

1164
01:03:01.240 --> 01:03:03.760
And when you add sounds, there'll be a place where you can search

1165
01:03:03.960 --> 01:03:06.320
for sounds and then you can you can set that up.

1166
01:03:06.520 --> 01:03:10.840
And then I'll answer a quick question here from Valerie, who said when you do go

1167
01:03:11.040 --> 01:03:15.320
to post the same video on Instagram Reels, how do you add music there, too?

1168
01:03:15.520 --> 01:03:17.480
So Instagram Reels has their own library

1169
01:03:17.480 --> 01:03:22.120
of music, good chances you won't be able to use the same song necessarily on TikTok

1170
01:03:22.120 --> 01:03:23.240
that used for Instagram.

1171
01:03:23.440 --> 01:03:24.560
So it's just a little bit.

1172
01:03:24.760 --> 01:03:27.120
But what you'll find is the song.

1173
01:03:27.320 --> 01:03:30.920
Don't obsess over it, it's more just there to help you get more views,

1174
01:03:30.920 --> 01:03:33.680
essentially, so don't I mean, you can pick something that you like,

1175
01:03:33.880 --> 01:03:37.760
obviously, but don't obsess over the music and you'll probably find there's five

1176
01:03:37.760 --> 01:03:41.320
to ten songs that you end up using over and over again, and that's totally fine.

1177
01:03:41.360 --> 01:03:41.920
Yeah.

1178
01:03:42.120 --> 01:03:43.800
So just use their library as well.

1179
01:03:44.000 --> 01:03:45.520
And same for YouTube shorts.

1180
01:03:45.520 --> 01:03:48.560
They do also have music as well in there.

1181
01:03:48.760 --> 01:03:53.360
But you have to do it within each app because it doesn't translate over.

1182
01:03:53.560 --> 01:03:54.440
Yeah, for that reason.

1183
01:03:54.640 --> 01:03:58.040
So and this is just showing you the same thing.

1184
01:03:58.040 --> 01:04:01.720
You're creating one video like you've done and then you're going to share it to TikTok.

1185
01:04:01.920 --> 01:04:02.960
It's such a great.

1186
01:04:03.160 --> 01:04:04.600
It's a screenshot thumbnail.

1187
01:04:04.800 --> 01:04:07.520
I really appreciate you picking that one.

1188
01:04:09.040 --> 01:04:10.320
And you'll see there's things like this

1189
01:04:10.520 --> 01:04:13.320
text on here says the love of Jesus is everything.

1190
01:04:13.520 --> 01:04:17.400
Isaac will show you how to add text because people are going to scroll

1191
01:04:17.400 --> 01:04:20.160
and they're visually they're just going to read something on there and they're

1192
01:04:20.360 --> 01:04:25.600
going to start listening to you, so maybe your hook is got some text on it.

1193
01:04:25.800 --> 01:04:28.480
That's that's not you know, you're just going to go through that.

1194
01:04:28.680 --> 01:04:30.000
So

1195
01:04:30.200 --> 01:04:33.080
that was asking, is it hard to set up these three accounts?

1196
01:04:33.280 --> 01:04:34.400
It's really not.

1197
01:04:34.600 --> 01:04:37.720
There's literally billions of people on each of these platforms.

1198
01:04:37.720 --> 01:04:40.000
So they've tried to make it as user friendly as possible.

1199
01:04:40.160 --> 01:04:42.680
You're just going to go to TikTok dot com,

1200
01:04:42.880 --> 01:04:45.480
create a new account, they'll ask you some questions, download the app.

1201
01:04:45.680 --> 01:04:47.160
You download the app. I would recommend.

1202
01:04:47.360 --> 01:04:48.880
Yeah, Instagram.

1203
01:04:49.080 --> 01:04:51.800
Same is pretty easy to set up a new account.

1204
01:04:52.000 --> 01:04:54.520
They want to make it really easy for you.

1205
01:04:54.720 --> 01:04:58.080
YouTube, you can use your if you have a Gmail or Google account as well.

1206
01:04:58.280 --> 01:04:59.040
It's very easy to set up.

1207
01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:12.000
Awesome. And so that is that's the publisher we're gonna talk a little bit about promotion, and there's quite a few things we want to touch on maybe with promotion but yeah so this we're just talking about like things that you can do for free.

1208
01:05:12.000 --> 01:05:23.000
So when you think promote you think okay buying ads, nothing wrong with that we've done that as well. Some of you are here because we buy ads for kingdom messengers but we wanted to, again, not let there be any barrier for you starting so here's things

1209
01:05:23.000 --> 01:05:41.000
that you can do for free. So, um, let people talk about your content, meaning, don't disable comments. A lot of people want to do that because they don't want bad comments they don't want the trolls, but this doesn't necessarily encourage the

1210
01:05:41.000 --> 01:05:56.000
algorithm to show your content to people because they're not going to see a ton of engagement on those videos, so don't disable comments, that will be our, that's like, don't, I know it can be scary.

1211
01:05:56.000 --> 01:06:01.000
But part of this is you having connection points with your who as well.

1212
01:06:02.000 --> 01:06:18.000
So, yeah, there's going to be some haters out there, I get haters, like, I, especially when we do ads like because it goes out to more than just our who because it's kind of how that works so this is something this is a great place to grow up in the Lord.

1213
01:06:18.000 --> 01:06:33.000
And I'm not going to say that it's easy, I'm not going to pretend like I've practiced this into permanence where it doesn't bother me if someone comments negatively negatively on my videos but I will tell you time and time again, for every one hurtful comment,

1214
01:06:33.000 --> 01:06:52.000
there are 10 times over comments of people saying 100. Yeah, over of people saying, this was for me today, can you pray for me. Amen. Hallelujah. And so like this is something that Susie touched on about being led in the spirit is something that I'm actively

1215
01:06:52.000 --> 01:07:05.000
practicing, even now, and that is we know that psychologically, there is something and I'm going to botch it if there's therapists and scientists on this call but I'm just going to try and give a summary we know that for every negative comment, the way that our brain

1216
01:07:05.000 --> 01:07:19.000
works is we tend to fixate on the negative more quickly than the positive. And often when there's 10 positive things that happen in one negative thing for the way that we are wired sometimes because of our neural pathways, and is we just attach ourselves

1217
01:07:19.000 --> 01:07:34.000
to the negative. So that's how it, that's how we know that it works so it's like, don't feel bad if that's happening to you. That's kind of a normal thing for most people, but we are people of the kingdom, and we can be led by the spirit, so we can bypass

1218
01:07:34.000 --> 01:07:48.000
the physical and the metaphysical, and we can walk in the spirit holy and so this is that's how I choose to show up every day when I'm having to go through the comments knowing that there's going to be some hateful things that people say is I'm showing up as a daughter

1219
01:07:48.000 --> 01:08:03.000
walking in the spirit, remaining untouched by the negative noise and fully focusing on the call and purpose and partnership that I have with the Holy Spirit, knowing that if it does sting, and I hang on to it.

1220
01:08:03.000 --> 01:08:15.000
I have a comforter, who will be with me in that, and will walk me through that process, because sometimes it stings because it feels true right like it's not like something crazy it's like they've said something about my hair and I was actually feeling really horrible

1221
01:08:15.000 --> 01:08:27.000
about my hair that day or they said something about the way my voice sounds and I actually do hate the way that my voice sounds right, but we are, we are inviting the Holy Spirit to like remove the hooks once and for all.

1222
01:08:27.000 --> 01:08:44.000
So what I want to encourage you to do is don't let the people who aren't your who keep you from reaching your who. That's good. You can say that again. Don't let the people who aren't your who keep you from reaching your who.

1223
01:08:45.000 --> 01:08:52.000
This is something I'm actively walking in, because there's days where I'm like, I don't want to look at the comments I don't know if I can do this.

1224
01:08:52.000 --> 01:09:03.000
And it's okay you don't have to do it every day, but don't cut yourself off from reaching the people you're called to reach, because there's some few people making some noise that aren't even the people you are called to reach there's somebody

1225
01:09:03.000 --> 01:09:06.000
else's who let them be reached by that.

1226
01:09:07.000 --> 01:09:10.000
Are we allowed to block. Absolutely.

1227
01:09:10.000 --> 01:09:25.000
Absolutely. This is your territory. This is your real estate. Okay, so don't feel like you have to let trespassers in to keep things authentic. Like, if you like we don't have to deal with that like there's just there's people that I just block because I'm like

1228
01:09:25.000 --> 01:09:31.000
this, they don't want to be reached by me they don't want help they just want to like, come at me.

1229
01:09:32.000 --> 01:09:45.000
I'm going to bless them by blocking them so I don't show up in their feet anymore so you don't have to hesitate by blocking people, there is going to be things that are going to be obvious spam like maybe it's not negative but it's promotional people dropping

1230
01:09:45.000 --> 01:09:56.000
their links trying to sell people on something or get people to come to their website. I block those, because it's usually spam and I don't want people clicking on spammy links if I find those I just delete those.

1231
01:09:56.000 --> 01:10:01.000
If you can walk away with anything today. It's, don't cut off the

1232
01:10:00.000 --> 01:10:05.280
conversation with your who because of people who aren't your who that are trying to send in some

1233
01:10:05.280 --> 01:10:09.760
negative stuff because it is out there and I know it can be hard and if it's something that you're

1234
01:10:09.760 --> 01:10:15.360
really struggling with like find a buddy find a friend that maybe you can say like hey can you

1235
01:10:15.360 --> 01:10:18.960
help me with this can you can I talk to you about like this I got this comment it's really bothering

1236
01:10:18.960 --> 01:10:23.440
me like you don't have to bottle it up inside and like just be like you know super strong about it

1237
01:10:23.440 --> 01:10:27.600
like if it's bothering you process that with a friend process it with the lord because maybe

1238
01:10:27.600 --> 01:10:32.560
there's a hook there from the past that it's pulling at that needs to be unhooked once and

1239
01:10:32.560 --> 01:10:37.280
for all so I've had conversations with Bruce I'm like this person came at me it's really bothering

1240
01:10:37.280 --> 01:10:42.560
me it's stirring in my head we talk about it we release it you know don't feel like you just have

1241
01:10:42.560 --> 01:10:49.600
to like be be like a warrior about it and not ever be um affected by it and if you are affected by it

1242
01:10:49.600 --> 01:10:54.560
means you're weak but push through that push past that resistant don't become resistant in that

1243
01:10:54.560 --> 01:10:59.280
resistance because there are so many people who are going to be blessed by your content that would

1244
01:10:59.280 --> 01:11:04.160
love to be able to comment and it's leveraging the digital landscape because it's getting you

1245
01:11:04.720 --> 01:11:09.280
further up in the algorithm because YouTube and TikTok and Instagram are saying hey people like

1246
01:11:09.280 --> 01:11:13.040
your comment and they're engaging with their comment they're commenting they're liking we're

1247
01:11:13.040 --> 01:11:18.640
going to serve this up to more people it's awesome so good so guys just to just to kind of recap

1248
01:11:19.360 --> 01:11:26.800
everything plan produce publish promote this is something you can do for a TikTok you can plan

1249
01:11:26.800 --> 01:11:32.000
produce publish promote for 10 minute YouTube video as you grow as you experiment with different

1250
01:11:32.000 --> 01:11:36.560
types of content it's the same process just going in circles it's getting these these reps down

1251
01:11:36.560 --> 01:11:41.360
getting the process down so that you can just focus on being a creator you have to go through

1252
01:11:41.360 --> 01:11:46.480
all these processes anyway is that sometimes you can go through all four phases in a span of five

1253
01:11:46.480 --> 01:11:52.320
to ten minutes like you can have an idea for something you know captured on your sink be at

1254
01:11:52.320 --> 01:11:56.960
the kitchen sink yeah capture it you can publish it right there from your phone and then you know

1255
01:11:56.960 --> 01:12:01.200
start engaging with comments start promoting it that can all happen very quickly um so don't

1256
01:12:01.200 --> 01:12:05.600
overthink that it's going to take you you know hours to get through each of these these steps

1257
01:12:05.600 --> 01:12:09.680
I do want to just comment on one thing because people are talking about trolls and someone and

1258
01:12:09.680 --> 01:12:13.840
Dan said you know you can try to witness to the trolls too you absolutely can Dan if you feel like

1259
01:12:14.400 --> 01:12:20.480
led to do that but I do because we sometimes are nicer than Jesus I'm not picking on you Dan I just

1260
01:12:20.480 --> 01:12:23.760
feel like this is a thought in a lot of people's head this was something I even struggled with too

1261
01:12:23.760 --> 01:12:28.640
when I was like do I block this person do I try to convince them of what I'm sharing they probably

1262
01:12:28.640 --> 01:12:34.240
need Jesus they're really mean I think sometimes it's worse when it's definitely another Christian

1263
01:12:34.240 --> 01:12:38.000
that's coming at me it's like makes it 10 times worse and I'm like you know Jesus the same Christ

1264
01:12:38.000 --> 01:12:44.240
living in me lives in you and this is how you're responding so what I would say is this is where the

1265
01:12:44.240 --> 01:12:50.240
who conversation really helps because there are so many people on the digital landscape billions

1266
01:12:50.240 --> 01:12:58.880
and billions right and everyone has a who but don't let who's not your who keep you from reaching

1267
01:12:58.880 --> 01:13:04.000
your who because sometimes we can go off on a tangent with a troll in the comment section and

1268
01:13:04.000 --> 01:13:08.800
then other people are coming to our aid and they're getting in the debate too and they're

1269
01:13:08.800 --> 01:13:14.800
saying you know I mean I've seen this happen where there's people that are arguing in my comment feed

1270
01:13:14.800 --> 01:13:20.880
about something that has nothing to do with the topic anymore and it's just a display of division

1271
01:13:20.880 --> 01:13:24.640
quite frankly that I just don't want to put on display so that's why I kind of cut it off

1272
01:13:25.360 --> 01:13:29.360
and block the instigator don't like block everyone because people are just out of the

1273
01:13:29.360 --> 01:13:33.600
goodness of their heart trying to defend but like we don't really need that on display and

1274
01:13:33.600 --> 01:13:38.400
I would say as well like I don't think anybody's really going to change a lot of the how they think

1275
01:13:38.400 --> 01:13:44.720
about things in the comment section of a video like that just it doesn't seem to like and whatnot

1276
01:13:44.720 --> 01:13:49.520
if you feel like in a dm or direct message you're having a one-on-one conversation and you feel that

1277
01:13:49.520 --> 01:13:55.280
do whatever you feel the Holy Spirit's doing just know that doing it in public in that form

1278
01:13:55.280 --> 01:13:59.600
tends to go negative really fast and then it's just you end up just throwing mud at each other

1279
01:13:59.680 --> 01:14:04.240
because no one's no one's seeing each other's faces in the comment section right no one's

1280
01:14:04.240 --> 01:14:09.920
making eye contact it's easy it's very anonymous in many ways and so it's very easy for people to

1281
01:14:09.920 --> 01:14:14.720
just slug mud at each other with very little accountability and no real relationship or

1282
01:14:14.720 --> 01:14:19.920
connection this is a big issue right now on the digital landscape is everyone wants to just share

1283
01:14:19.920 --> 01:14:24.640
their truth without doing the hard work of building a relational bridge you are showing up as the

1284
01:14:24.640 --> 01:14:28.880
kingdom messenger showing your face sharing your message and working to build a relational bridge

1285
01:14:29.520 --> 01:14:35.200
don't allow all the comments like negative comments to hinder the bridge building that

1286
01:14:35.200 --> 01:14:39.040
you're doing because someone has an agenda that they that day that they want to like

1287
01:14:39.040 --> 01:14:42.480
get in they're not doing the hard work of building relational bridge they're not doing

1288
01:14:42.480 --> 01:14:46.560
the hard work of building a kingdom channel they just want to share their truth in the comment

1289
01:14:46.560 --> 01:14:51.760
section it never goes well so this is how we kind of have to take on a new mind about these things

1290
01:14:51.760 --> 01:14:55.440
like this is not people sitting in a room looking each other in the eye having a conversation

1291
01:14:55.440 --> 01:15:00.000
we have we have to think differently about how we engage in these conversations

1292
01:15:00.000 --> 01:15:03.120
Even with DMs, I'm pretty careful about the conversations

1293
01:15:03.120 --> 01:15:05.680
I engage with because there are spammers,

1294
01:15:05.680 --> 01:15:08.160
there are people that are pretending to be people

1295
01:15:08.160 --> 01:15:09.120
that they're not.

1296
01:15:09.120 --> 01:15:10.960
So we have to be wise about that.

1297
01:15:10.960 --> 01:15:15.960
And I rarely engage with people that have no posts.

1298
01:15:17.940 --> 01:15:19.960
Like I'll go to someone, like if someone's asking me,

1299
01:15:19.960 --> 01:15:22.200
like, hey, can you answer this?

1300
01:15:22.200 --> 01:15:24.260
And it's about the episode.

1301
01:15:24.260 --> 01:15:27.560
What I'm not gonna do is be talking about content

1302
01:15:27.560 --> 01:15:28.600
that I haven't even addressed.

1303
01:15:28.640 --> 01:15:30.280
Like I've had people reach out and said like,

1304
01:15:30.280 --> 01:15:32.520
can you talk to me about your views on the rapture?

1305
01:15:32.520 --> 01:15:34.160
That's just not something I cover.

1306
01:15:34.160 --> 01:15:36.720
So like, that's not a conversation I feel like

1307
01:15:36.720 --> 01:15:39.200
I have to have with someone in a private message

1308
01:15:39.200 --> 01:15:41.600
conversation, like have that with somebody

1309
01:15:41.600 --> 01:15:44.200
who is actually talking about those things,

1310
01:15:44.200 --> 01:15:46.640
talk to your pastor, talk to people in your community.

1311
01:15:46.640 --> 01:15:47.880
I'm not addressing those things.

1312
01:15:47.880 --> 01:15:49.600
Like let's not, you know, I'm sharing this

1313
01:15:49.600 --> 01:15:51.400
so this is gonna happen to you guys.

1314
01:15:51.400 --> 01:15:54.400
So I'm pretty careful about not even having conversations

1315
01:15:54.400 --> 01:15:57.320
that don't have to do with what I'm talking about,

1316
01:15:57.320 --> 01:15:58.480
what I'm teaching on.

1317
01:15:59.320 --> 01:16:02.040
People want me to be responsible for their own study.

1318
01:16:02.040 --> 01:16:04.520
You'll find this, you know, they want me,

1319
01:16:04.520 --> 01:16:06.480
they see me teaching about something,

1320
01:16:06.480 --> 01:16:08.280
they have a question about something else

1321
01:16:08.280 --> 01:16:10.760
and they're, instead of studying it out for themselves,

1322
01:16:10.760 --> 01:16:12.840
they just want my opinion on it.

1323
01:16:12.840 --> 01:16:15.440
I don't think that's often very helpful.

1324
01:16:15.440 --> 01:16:17.400
So I don't have those conversations.

1325
01:16:17.400 --> 01:16:21.360
I look, if it's something where it's a little bit bitey,

1326
01:16:21.360 --> 01:16:23.040
but people are like, seem genuine,

1327
01:16:23.040 --> 01:16:24.920
like, can you talk to me about this?

1328
01:16:24.920 --> 01:16:26.560
You said, you know, Jesus is peace,

1329
01:16:26.560 --> 01:16:27.740
but I don't really believe that,

1330
01:16:27.740 --> 01:16:29.380
or I've been struggling with anxiety.

1331
01:16:29.380 --> 01:16:31.940
And I think what you're talking about is hurting people

1332
01:16:31.940 --> 01:16:34.980
because you're sharing with them that, you know,

1333
01:16:34.980 --> 01:16:37.740
blah, blah, blah, whatever it is.

1334
01:16:37.740 --> 01:16:40.420
I go to their Instagram profile.

1335
01:16:40.420 --> 01:16:43.180
And if it's a private account with zero posts,

1336
01:16:43.180 --> 01:16:45.020
I don't engage.

1337
01:16:45.020 --> 01:16:48.460
Because this is not an active participant

1338
01:16:48.460 --> 01:16:49.300
in the digital landscape.

1339
01:16:49.300 --> 01:16:50.420
I don't know if this is a real person.

1340
01:16:50.420 --> 01:16:52.020
I don't know if it's a bot.

1341
01:16:52.020 --> 01:16:54.580
I don't know if this is someone that's trying to catfish me.

1342
01:16:54.580 --> 01:16:56.580
So, and I've got a lot of, you know,

1343
01:16:56.580 --> 01:16:58.660
once you grow, you're gonna have a lot of messages

1344
01:16:58.660 --> 01:16:59.700
that you have to go through.

1345
01:16:59.700 --> 01:17:02.700
So that's just a boundary that I've made.

1346
01:17:02.700 --> 01:17:04.180
I feel at peace with it.

1347
01:17:04.180 --> 01:17:06.020
You talk to the Holy Spirit about what your boundaries are,

1348
01:17:06.020 --> 01:17:08.300
but those are some things that I consider

1349
01:17:08.300 --> 01:17:11.220
because I wanna be able to engage and minister to my who

1350
01:17:11.220 --> 01:17:14.940
as best I can in the comments and in the private messages.

1351
01:17:14.940 --> 01:17:16.460
So those are some things that I use

1352
01:17:16.460 --> 01:17:18.140
to protect myself from spammers,

1353
01:17:18.140 --> 01:17:19.700
protect myself from talking to people

1354
01:17:19.700 --> 01:17:21.860
that aren't even real people.

1355
01:17:21.860 --> 01:17:23.740
I just don't feel like I have to address

1356
01:17:23.740 --> 01:17:26.780
every single comment and message,

1357
01:17:26.780 --> 01:17:28.460
but I do engage as best I can,

1358
01:17:28.460 --> 01:17:30.980
even if it's just liking a comment

1359
01:17:30.980 --> 01:17:32.140
and that helps with the engagement.

1360
01:17:32.140 --> 01:17:33.060
I love that.

1361
01:17:33.060 --> 01:17:33.900
That's so good.

1362
01:17:33.900 --> 01:17:35.660
And guys, these are the, I know this is,

1363
01:17:35.660 --> 01:17:37.540
we're kind of picking on the comments thing,

1364
01:17:37.540 --> 01:17:39.700
but these are the things that I think hold people back.

1365
01:17:39.700 --> 01:17:40.540
Yeah.

1366
01:17:40.540 --> 01:17:41.380
Right?

1367
01:17:41.380 --> 01:17:42.740
Like this is the thing that maybe,

1368
01:17:42.740 --> 01:17:45.420
and that idea of like not letting the people

1369
01:17:45.420 --> 01:17:47.900
who aren't your who get in the way.

1370
01:17:47.900 --> 01:17:50.260
When you're doing marketing or we're doing things like this,

1371
01:17:50.260 --> 01:17:52.700
you're trying to filter the right people in

1372
01:17:52.700 --> 01:17:53.940
and the wrong people out.

1373
01:17:53.940 --> 01:17:57.020
It's actually okay if your content's not for everybody,

1374
01:17:57.020 --> 01:17:59.140
because the people who do engage, who do listen,

1375
01:17:59.140 --> 01:18:01.300
are gonna be some of your biggest fans.

1376
01:18:01.300 --> 01:18:05.620
And so part of that is just helping you guys

1377
01:18:05.620 --> 01:18:07.020
think through some of the mechanics of it,

1378
01:18:07.020 --> 01:18:09.060
because I think the things like the comments

1379
01:18:09.060 --> 01:18:09.900
and people are just,

1380
01:18:09.900 --> 01:18:11.740
there's a little bit of fear associated with that.

1381
01:18:11.740 --> 01:18:12.580
Intimidation even.

1382
01:18:12.580 --> 01:18:15.060
And you're helping, I think, demystify some of that

1383
01:18:15.060 --> 01:18:16.380
and take some of the fear out of it.

1384
01:18:16.380 --> 01:18:20.620
So hopefully that's helpful to you guys

1385
01:18:20.620 --> 01:18:22.300
as far as what to do with the promotion,

1386
01:18:22.940 --> 01:18:23.780
but you guys wanna have that discussion,

1387
01:18:23.780 --> 01:18:27.380
wanna be able to dialogue with your audience.

1388
01:18:27.380 --> 01:18:30.100
And I would say very often,

1389
01:18:30.100 --> 01:18:33.180
people are just amazed when you do respond to them.

1390
01:18:33.180 --> 01:18:34.620
Yeah, I mean, they feel-

1391
01:18:34.620 --> 01:18:35.780
They actually can talk to you,

1392
01:18:35.780 --> 01:18:37.580
that you will respond with some help.

1393
01:18:37.580 --> 01:18:42.020
So don't underestimate how much that connection

1394
01:18:42.020 --> 01:18:44.740
can mean to someone who needs that connection

1395
01:18:44.740 --> 01:18:45.580
in the moment.

1396
01:18:45.580 --> 01:18:47.580
So, all right.

1397
01:18:47.580 --> 01:18:48.420
Okay, cool.

1398
01:18:48.420 --> 01:18:51.580
So guys, that was the cycle we went through,

1399
01:18:51.580 --> 01:18:53.540
plan, produce, publish, promote.

1400
01:18:53.540 --> 01:18:56.260
I know we're coming in for a landing of three days,

1401
01:18:56.260 --> 01:18:57.860
an hour and a half every single day.

1402
01:18:57.860 --> 01:19:00.180
And I know you guys are also recording content

1403
01:19:00.180 --> 01:19:01.740
and trying to catch up, watch replays.

1404
01:19:01.740 --> 01:19:03.580
So we appreciate you guys hanging out with us.

1405
01:19:03.580 --> 01:19:04.540
Thank you for sticking with us.

1406
01:19:04.540 --> 01:19:06.180
All the way through.

1407
01:19:06.180 --> 01:19:08.940
We'll give you guys a couple of quick announcements here.

1408
01:19:08.940 --> 01:19:12.980
So when you guys, what to do next, okay?

1409
01:19:12.980 --> 01:19:16.100
So a couple of things are happening.

1410
01:19:16.100 --> 01:19:18.740
You can head over into the group

1411
01:19:18.740 --> 01:19:20.660
here on Kingdom Messenger TV.

1412
01:19:20.660 --> 01:19:22.340
If you haven't already watched,

1413
01:19:22.340 --> 01:19:24.820
there are some challenge bonus sessions here.

1414
01:19:24.820 --> 01:19:27.460
It's a fantastic session from Hannah Brencher,

1415
01:19:27.460 --> 01:19:28.780
who is a TED speaker

1416
01:19:28.780 --> 01:19:30.740
and an awesome, powerful Kingdom Messenger.

1417
01:19:30.740 --> 01:19:32.860
Blogger, author.

1418
01:19:32.860 --> 01:19:33.700
She just has-

1419
01:19:33.700 --> 01:19:34.540
Instagram stories.

1420
01:19:34.540 --> 01:19:35.380
It'll just inspire you.

1421
01:19:35.380 --> 01:19:37.620
Yeah, it's all around content creation,

1422
01:19:37.620 --> 01:19:39.940
creating content and building systems

1423
01:19:39.940 --> 01:19:41.740
for creating content consistently.

1424
01:19:41.740 --> 01:19:42.660
Yeah, so you can go there.

1425
01:19:42.660 --> 01:19:43.620
You can check this off.

1426
01:19:43.620 --> 01:19:45.420
And then we do have an awesome interview

1427
01:19:45.420 --> 01:19:48.580
that we are sharing from our masterclass library,

1428
01:19:48.580 --> 01:19:50.740
where Graham and Lindsey did an interview.

1429
01:19:50.740 --> 01:19:51.580
They hung out-

1430
01:19:51.580 --> 01:19:52.660
Graham Cook, if you don't know who that is,

1431
01:19:52.660 --> 01:19:54.140
is a mentor of mine,

1432
01:19:54.140 --> 01:19:56.580
and he is a prophetic powerhouse.

1433
01:19:56.580 --> 01:19:58.140
He's been in ministry for over 40 years,

1434
01:19:58.140 --> 01:19:59.540
and he actually-

1435
01:20:00.000 --> 01:20:04.480
near doing ministry online. He has brilliant TV, which is an online mentoring community that he

1436
01:20:04.480 --> 01:20:10.160
mentors. And he was one of the first people to kind of do that online. So he's a veteran when

1437
01:20:10.160 --> 01:20:14.720
it comes to being kingdom messenger online. And when we talk about in this episode, the mindset

1438
01:20:14.720 --> 01:20:20.880
of a kingdom messenger, he shares a lot of wisdom and insights on, you know, how to walk into the

1439
01:20:20.880 --> 01:20:26.160
digital landscape, how to be a powerful kingdom messenger. So I would encourage you to watch that.

a blessing just for Yeah, so Father, once again, we say thank you. Thank you for the gift of

1442
01:20:37.040 --> 01:20:42.320
community. You're so kind to give us each other. And we are once again reminded of how awesome it

1443
01:20:42.320 --> 01:20:48.000
is and how iron truly sharpens iron when we come together and gather as your body in one accord.

1444
01:20:48.000 --> 01:20:53.440
And Lord, we're kingdom messengers. We've said yes to this calling. And we've said yes to the

1445
01:20:53.440 --> 01:20:58.560
partnership with you. Holy Spirit, we are so excited for the innovation that you're going to

1446
01:20:58.560 --> 01:21:05.360
bring us the creativity, the ideas, the comfort that you'll bring us when times are hard, the

1447
01:21:05.360 --> 01:21:11.120
ease in which things will flow and surprise us even I pray for our who the people that we're

1448
01:21:11.120 --> 01:21:17.360
called to reach. I pray that there would be no more delay and getting the message that you have

1449
01:21:17.920 --> 01:21:24.000
birth in us out to them. No more delay in that I just pray against distraction. I pray against

1450
01:21:24.000 --> 01:21:30.240
noise. I pray against discouragement. And I say no more to that. Lord, we welcome all that you have

1451
01:21:30.240 --> 01:21:38.400
in store for us. And also, I pray for every person on this call. Lord, we've talked a lot about your

1452
01:21:38.400 --> 01:21:44.160
redemption. And I really truly believe that this is a year of breakthrough for all of us and that

1453
01:21:44.160 --> 01:21:50.000
you are redeeming things in us that we are going to restore in others. Things from long ago are

1454
01:21:50.000 --> 01:21:54.880
going to make sense in this season like never before. There will be a redemption of time.

1455
01:21:54.880 --> 01:22:00.080
There'll be a redemption of places where we've been wounded. There'll be a redemption of loss.

1456
01:22:00.080 --> 01:22:04.880
There'll be a redemption of the low places and the valleys that we've had to walk through.

1457
01:22:04.880 --> 01:22:11.280
So we say thank you to that in advance. I just declare Hebrews 11 over each of these kingdom

1458
01:22:11.280 --> 01:22:18.480
messengers that just like our biblical ancestors, we are people of great faith. And we are led by

1459
01:22:18.480 --> 01:22:24.800
your word and your word alone. It was enough that you said it. And we say yes and amen to what you

1460
01:22:24.800 --> 01:22:32.880
have said. And we pray all of these things in the mighty majestic name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. Guys,
