00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.680
For those of you who are with us for the first time, let's just talk a little bit about who

2
00:00:09.680 --> 00:00:12.860
Kingdom Messengers is for, what this challenge is for.

3
00:00:12.860 --> 00:00:18.220
Maybe you are an author, maybe you've written a book, maybe you have been a content creator

4
00:00:18.220 --> 00:00:19.460
in other mediums.

5
00:00:19.460 --> 00:00:23.720
You've written a book, or you've had a blog, or maybe you're a pastor, you're teaching

6
00:00:23.720 --> 00:00:29.800
every Sunday, but you're interested in kind of broadening your scope and utilizing technology

7
00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:33.360
and getting more out there, getting your message more out there.

8
00:00:33.360 --> 00:00:37.480
Maybe you're a coach, maybe you're a life coach, or a mentor, or a business coach, and

9
00:00:37.480 --> 00:00:41.440
you want to help disciple people online, maybe you've been doing that in person and you want

10
00:00:41.440 --> 00:00:43.160
to branch out more.

11
00:00:43.160 --> 00:00:46.720
Or maybe you're just like someone who was like me two years ago, who had a message strung

12
00:00:46.720 --> 00:00:50.760
in their heart and they just didn't know how to get it out in the world, and I had to let

13
00:00:50.760 --> 00:00:57.400
go of what I thought large-scale ministry looked like.

14
00:00:57.400 --> 00:01:01.000
I had to have a best-selling book, I had to get speaker engagements, I had to have a big

15
00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:02.440
travel budget.

16
00:01:02.440 --> 00:01:07.480
I released all of that, and I started to pioneer something new and different with the Lord,

17
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:09.000
and here we are.

18
00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:13.440
When wanting to impart with you our mindset, the way we're thinking about things when it

19
00:01:13.440 --> 00:01:18.240
comes to being missionaries in the digital landscape, I think there's going to be a lot

20
00:01:18.240 --> 00:01:22.000
of our impartation happening, so you can be expectant of that.

21
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:25.440
If you're new, I'm Lindsay, this is Bruce.

22
00:01:25.440 --> 00:01:27.920
Yup, and this is our family here.

23
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:30.440
We got Hannah Lee, who's hanging out with us.

24
00:01:30.440 --> 00:01:31.440
She is our victory baby.

25
00:01:31.440 --> 00:01:38.160
We long-awaited victory baby that was born last year, and then our first-born furry friend,

26
00:01:38.160 --> 00:01:39.600
Scout.

27
00:01:39.600 --> 00:01:43.800
We have been serving content creators for over 12 years.

28
00:01:43.800 --> 00:01:47.880
We've worked with churches in the past, we've worked with faith-based businesses, nonprofit

29
00:01:47.880 --> 00:01:49.440
organizations.

30
00:01:49.440 --> 00:01:52.640
It's really cool, and I'm sure you guys have experienced this in your own stories with

31
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:56.680
the Lord, how you step back and look maybe a decade, and you see how he's connected the

32
00:01:56.680 --> 00:02:02.320
dots all along the way, and what feels new today is something that he's been building

33
00:02:02.320 --> 00:02:06.720
way before you were even aware that he was building that, and I'm seeing a few people

34
00:02:06.720 --> 00:02:08.720
nod their heads yes, and that's our story.

35
00:02:08.720 --> 00:02:14.840
When we started off, we were helping churches with production, and helping nonprofits build

36
00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:20.280
their websites, and then we became the online campus pastors before that was really a thing

37
00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:25.360
at our church, and just kind of helping with live streams, and setting up social media

38
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:29.800
accounts for our church, and all of that stuff, and so along the way, the Lord has been building

39
00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:35.840
this desire deep within us to leverage the digital landscape to disciple nations, and

40
00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:41.480
he's also given us experience and skill in different areas that have converged for such

41
00:02:41.480 --> 00:02:43.040
a time as this.

42
00:02:43.040 --> 00:02:44.600
So Bruce in the tech space?

43
00:02:44.600 --> 00:02:50.720
Yeah, we've always been involved in tech, and video, and production, and software, and

44
00:02:50.720 --> 00:02:55.680
all things technical, and really around the idea of helping get a message of the gospel

45
00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:59.520
out into the world, and even in our business, that's what we've been doing for years, has

46
00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:04.960
been helping ministries and organizations get more and more content, and we had done

47
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:08.280
this for a lot of other people, and that's when we kind of, everything sort of came together

48
00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:12.960
when Lindsay launched her own podcast two years ago, and so we were able to use all

49
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:13.960
these things.

50
00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:14.960
It's Romans 828, right?

51
00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:18.440
The Lord's made everything work together, all these different components kind of came

52
00:03:18.440 --> 00:03:24.600
together, the marketing side, the social media side, the content side, the technology, all

53
00:03:24.600 --> 00:03:28.280
of it sort of collided in the middle, and that's kind of what came out of this, and

54
00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:32.520
so we've been leading Kingdom Messengers for a year and a half now.

55
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:38.160
We have close to 1,600 people in our community that have just been a part of events like

56
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:42.880
this, and we had no idea this was how it was going to go.

57
00:03:42.880 --> 00:03:48.560
We actually, joking, you know, last January, we launched our first challenge, and we thought

58
00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:50.520
maybe 20 people would show up.

59
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:55.000
We really had no idea, and had a few hundred people show up on that first event, so it's

60
00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:56.000
been amazing.

61
00:03:56.000 --> 00:04:01.760
It's amazing the reach that online has had, even as we've even been teaching this to others.

62
00:04:01.760 --> 00:04:05.080
It's been amazing how fast this has grown online.

63
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:10.360
And it came from a conversation with the Lord as we were walking into 2021, after I've

64
00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:15.560
been running my podcast for almost a year, and we said, Lord, what's ahead for this year?

65
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:18.560
We'd love to have that conversation with Him at the end of each year, and we felt like

66
00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:22.520
He gave us an invitation of two different options, and He said, we can grow Posture

67
00:04:22.520 --> 00:04:23.520
to a million.

68
00:04:23.520 --> 00:04:29.880
We can spend the year doing that, or if you want, we can help others do what you just

69
00:04:29.880 --> 00:04:33.720
did, and as a collective, we can reach a million together.

70
00:04:33.760 --> 00:04:39.760
I always tell people there was no wrong answer, because the worthiness was not in the outcome,

71
00:04:39.760 --> 00:04:43.640
it was in the partnership with the Lord, so I think someone needs to hear that tonight.

72
00:04:43.640 --> 00:04:48.120
It wasn't about like, oh, it was so much more worthy for Lindsay to go help people, no.

73
00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:50.640
The Lord was offering me partnership in both areas.

74
00:04:50.640 --> 00:04:54.080
We just thought, you know what would be fun, and what's really the desire stirring in our

75
00:04:54.080 --> 00:04:56.920
heart, is to do this with others.

76
00:04:56.920 --> 00:05:00.040
Let's build a community and reach a million collectively.

77
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:05.360
and then a million more and a million more and so that's kind of how that's

78
00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:09.040
how it all started and that's that's where we are now so awesome that's who

79
00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:11.320
we are
