WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.360
warm and comfy. I am. It's minus eight here now, which is not bad, but yeah.

2
00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:18.080
That's pretty chilly. Well, sometimes we've had down to minus 30, but this year it's actually

3
00:00:18.080 --> 00:00:24.720
been exceptionally warm. So wow. Yeah. Friends in Texas have been getting a lot of ice and snow.

4
00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:32.320
Yeah. All right. We're just making sure. Yeah. Sorry. I'm just like staring it.

5
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:37.600
We are on, uh, we're using Bruce's phone by the way. So this is just an interesting little

6
00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:44.320
fun fact. Posture was back this week and I recorded it from my phone. I have an iPhone

7
00:00:45.040 --> 00:00:53.520
14 pro max, and I use the sun as my lighting. And I got a lot of comments and messages about

8
00:00:53.520 --> 00:01:00.400
what camera were you using? Or like, this looks so good. And I'm like, yes, I found, yeah, it's

9
00:01:00.400 --> 00:01:08.480
good. Yeah. And, um, if you have an iPhone and a Mac, there's like a new feature, um, where you

10
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:14.720
can actually like, I'm, my phone is here and of course I can't show it to you, but it's just,

11
00:01:14.720 --> 00:01:19.840
I was going to turn it around, but it's not attached to anything. There's no cables. And

12
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:25.600
so it's actually sending the video like wirelessly to my computer. Um, so just pairs automatically

13
00:01:25.600 --> 00:01:31.040
now. Yeah. And then it has like, like it has this, uh, studio lights. If I turn that off,

14
00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:35.920
that's like regular. And then it like adds this like studio lights here, like our backdrop gets

15
00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:41.440
darker and, um, portrait, you can see like the background is not blurred. And then if I turn

16
00:01:41.440 --> 00:01:46.880
portrait on it, it gives like that subtle blur. And we literally just have like the window right

17
00:01:46.880 --> 00:01:53.280
here. Um, so it seems to work pretty well. This is going to be our setup. How are you doing it?

18
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:58.400
Landscape instead of portrait, just turn your camera. Camera's just this. Yeah. It's just wide.

19
00:02:00.160 --> 00:02:07.680
Yeah. Wow. We are using, so you guys had the back camera. Yeah. That's the better camera

20
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:14.160
than the front camera. Yeah. So yeah. Awesome. Okay. We're live. We're recording. What's up?

21
00:02:14.160 --> 00:02:17.440
Okay. This is our final call. So we're going to start from the very beginning

22
00:02:17.440 --> 00:02:20.720
and just let you guys know there's, there's no offer being made today.

23
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:27.040
There's, there's nothing beyond advancement right now. And we're going to talk a little

24
00:02:27.040 --> 00:02:32.080
bit about that because I want to share with you guys some behind the scenes of that decision too,

25
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:35.680
because I know you guys are building your own communities and just sharing kind of what we've

26
00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:41.440
been processing with the Lord for not just this core group, because we still consider you our

27
00:02:41.440 --> 00:02:45.520
core group, but also kingdom messengers at large, because we want, we want you guys to be in the

28
00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:49.040
know and the first to know on those things, because you've been prayerfully with us and

29
00:02:49.040 --> 00:02:55.520
partnering with us in building what we believe is a movement of kingdom messengers and, and what

30
00:02:55.520 --> 00:03:00.480
that looks like moving forward and what we feel like the Lord has for us this year. And then we

31
00:03:00.480 --> 00:03:06.160
really want to take some time to thank the Lord on this call for all that he's done. We'd love to

32
00:03:06.160 --> 00:03:10.800
hear from each of you. So when you share kind of keep that in mind so that we can get through

33
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:15.440
everybody. I know some people couldn't join us today live, but just, we want you guys to share

34
00:03:15.440 --> 00:03:22.320
a little bit about what you're feeling, like you're going to be building this year. It's okay

35
00:03:22.320 --> 00:03:27.360
if it's not kingdom messenger related, but I just believe that it's really important for us to have

36
00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:34.160
those marking moments and conversation to say like, Hey, out loud. Cause I know sometimes we process

37
00:03:34.160 --> 00:03:40.320
it a lot, a lot of it internally, but out loud, like this is what I feel like I'm moving forward.

38
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:45.040
And, and it's okay if you don't, we don't have all of the T's crossed and the I's dotted either.

39
00:03:45.040 --> 00:03:49.840
Was there anything else you wanted to add? I was going to just say two questions really like,

40
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:53.840
like where, where do you feel like you have advanced in the last four months? I mean,

41
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:58.800
we've been, it feels crazy that that has gone by so fast, but it was, we've been doing these calls

42
00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:03.680
for the last four months since we finished up the eight week intensive. And so just would love to

43
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:07.440
hear like where you guys feel like you advanced. And then, like I said, where do you want to go

44
00:04:07.440 --> 00:04:12.880
from here for this year? And I think part of that is just being able to share with a community of

45
00:04:12.880 --> 00:04:18.000
other people. It just creates a little bit of accountability. And so I think it releases

46
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:23.360
something into the atmosphere, which is really important. So yeah. And then, yeah, obviously we,

47
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:28.000
and we've said, well, we'll pray, close it out. This will be the last call we do for a while

48
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:32.640
with you guys. So there's not, there's no call next week. We're not rolling into anything else

49
00:04:32.640 --> 00:04:36.720
after this. So, and just like just a housekeeping thing, cause I know this has been a question,

50
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:41.680
the group will be archived. So anything that's in Facebook, you'll still have access to like any of

51
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:45.120
the lives you want to do. If you ever want to reference those back, it'll be just like what

52
00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:49.200
we did with the membership site. It'll be archived. So you can't add anything new and

53
00:04:49.200 --> 00:04:53.120
you won't be getting like notifications from that page, but you can always go back and reference

54
00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:58.160
anything that's in that page. And then again, you also have the lifetime access to the recordings

55
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:00.000
we did in your kingdom messenger. Yeah.

56
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:04.240
TV. So none of that is going away. None of the training or any of that.

57
00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:08.560
Yeah. And then as far as community goes, we may pop in every now and again to the

58
00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:14.640
Kingdom Messenger community, the bigger group, just with some fun resources and other things

59
00:05:14.640 --> 00:05:19.840
kind of throughout the next couple of weeks and months. And with that saying, we will be doing

60
00:05:19.840 --> 00:05:25.440
some sort of coaching something this year. We'll do another challenge at probably some point. We

61
00:05:25.440 --> 00:05:29.200
don't have any plans on the calendar now for the next couple of months.

62
00:05:29.200 --> 00:05:32.320
I'm going to talk a little bit about that and why that is. And it will give you guys

63
00:05:32.880 --> 00:05:37.040
some time to gather your thoughts as well, as far as like what you plan on sharing.

64
00:05:37.840 --> 00:05:40.400
Slide a little higher so we can... There we go.

65
00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:41.840
There we go.

66
00:05:41.840 --> 00:05:43.600
It was bothering me. Now we can talk.

67
00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:49.200
So the last couple of months as we've been in this advancement group, we've obviously been

68
00:05:49.200 --> 00:05:54.880
processing with the Lord. It's a continual conversation for us, right? With what are we

69
00:05:54.880 --> 00:06:01.680
doing with this core group? And what is we doing with the community group at large? And you guys

70
00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:07.680
have been our focus, as you know, like when we go into an intensive or a membership or advancement

71
00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:12.800
group, the focus is you. And then community is just really for those outer layer challenges and

72
00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:17.760
workshops that we do occasionally throughout the year. And so you guys have been on my mind the

73
00:06:17.760 --> 00:06:21.520
last four months. And when I brought Kingdom Messenger to the Lord, it's really been about

74
00:06:21.520 --> 00:06:24.880
this advancement group. Cause I'm like, you know, some of you guys have been with us for

75
00:06:24.880 --> 00:06:30.320
years at this point. And Lord, what do you have for us as this group? Is there anything

76
00:06:30.320 --> 00:06:35.120
more that we can pour into them? What does that need to look like? And in all of that,

77
00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:39.440
I'm trying to give you as much of the internal process, just so you can relate, because again,

78
00:06:39.440 --> 00:06:45.760
you guys are going to be leading community, online community as well. There is this detachment that

79
00:06:46.320 --> 00:06:50.080
this, I'll say that maybe this disentangling that has to take place when you have that

80
00:06:50.080 --> 00:06:55.200
conversation with the Lord. Lord, what are you requiring and what are you opening up? And also,

81
00:06:55.200 --> 00:07:00.240
what am I just feeling personally attached to? Cause friendships are formed, relationships

82
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:07.440
have formed here. And so there is this, there is this recognition that has to take place of

83
00:07:08.320 --> 00:07:12.880
what is it that you are wanting us to continue to do Lord? And what is it that I am just feeling

84
00:07:12.880 --> 00:07:19.040
personally, emotionally, sentimentally attached to, right? And that's okay. That's good to notice

85
00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:22.880
that there will be that like, Hey, I just want to keep this up because I love these people.

86
00:07:22.880 --> 00:07:27.280
And I never want this to go away, but Lord, actually we're on mission here. We're not here

87
00:07:27.280 --> 00:07:31.200
just to hang out. So what is it that you intend? And every time I went to the Lord with that

88
00:07:31.200 --> 00:07:37.680
conversation, I kept having this word pop up in my spirit, fallow ground, fallow ground,

89
00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:41.920
fallow ground. So I'm sure many, you're probably familiar with that, but just a really quick

90
00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:47.360
definition of like this picture of fallow ground is when there's time for the soil to be given a

91
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:54.480
rest period of no planting, no harvesting, but just letting that soil rest. And so I was,

92
00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:58.080
I wouldn't say I was like resistant to that. I just, I kind of was like putting that on the

93
00:07:58.080 --> 00:08:02.080
shelf, like, okay, yeah, fallow ground, fallow ground, fallow ground, but Lord, what are we

94
00:08:02.080 --> 00:08:08.320
going to be doing? And, um, I took it off the shelf the last two months, um, kind of when December

95
00:08:08.320 --> 00:08:14.800
hit and said, okay, Lord, are you asking me to give this soil some rest? Is that what we, we,

96
00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:19.360
we must do? Let's have that conversation. What does that look like? And what's been really

97
00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:24.880
interesting is when you're, when you lay something down, I spoke a little bit about this in my

98
00:08:24.880 --> 00:08:29.280
posture episode that I released this week, when you lay something down or acknowledge something

99
00:08:29.280 --> 00:08:34.159
like, Hey, this doesn't, this needs to change. Inevitably your eye, when you're having that

100
00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:38.159
conversation with the Lord, anyway, inevitably your eyes are open to new possibilities.

101
00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:43.600
And that was starting to take place. And I'll, I'll let Bruce kind of share this as well, because

102
00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:49.920
kingdom messengers is part of the vision and mission of what we're doing. When we talk about

103
00:08:49.920 --> 00:08:54.800
leveraging the digital landscape to disciple nations, it's, it's, it's literally coaching

104
00:08:54.800 --> 00:09:00.560
the kingdom messengers, pouring into them and equipping them. But the other half or the other

105
00:09:00.560 --> 00:09:04.720
half that we it's a half now, maybe it'll be a third or something later as Lord continues to

106
00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:08.560
expand this vision. But the other half of that vision is the technology piece and what we've

107
00:09:08.560 --> 00:09:14.320
been building with tribe. So it's very interesting to me, the timing, because as I was laying down

108
00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:20.560
like, okay, Lord, is this something we need to give a rest to the kingdom messenger, like con

109
00:09:20.560 --> 00:09:27.600
like pouring in coaching content creators piece, all of a sudden there was a big opening with tribe

110
00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:32.880
and the things that we were building with tribe that began to open up rather quickly and pretty

111
00:09:32.880 --> 00:09:40.400
accelerated. And so with the fallow ground and now our illustration or give me gave me typically

112
00:09:40.400 --> 00:09:44.400
what you do is you let one piece of the land rest while you're planting on the other piece.

113
00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:48.800
And I feel like that's what's taking place for us when it comes to this vision of

114
00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:56.000
leveraging the digital landscape to disciple nations is as we're putting this ground to rest

115
00:09:56.000 --> 00:09:59.840
for a season, there's another ground that the Lord has this planting in.

116
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.960
creeping in and that's with what's happening with tribe.

117
00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:04.920
And I do think it's significant and important

118
00:10:04.920 --> 00:10:07.340
to share with you guys some of the details of that

119
00:10:07.340 --> 00:10:08.180
versus just saying like,

120
00:10:08.180 --> 00:10:09.920
oh, we're doing this with Wisdom Challenge

121
00:10:09.920 --> 00:10:11.640
or working with this client

122
00:10:11.640 --> 00:10:16.480
because I want to plant the seed of encouragement in you

123
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:18.440
as far as what is taking place in that

124
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:21.360
because I consider you partners

125
00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:23.720
in what we've been building, including with tribe.

126
00:10:23.720 --> 00:10:26.840
Some of you guys were the pilot members even

127
00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:29.520
of beginning to get into tribe and utilizing tribe

128
00:10:29.520 --> 00:10:30.640
and so much has happened.

129
00:10:30.640 --> 00:10:32.320
So I want Bruce to take a second

130
00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:34.760
and just explain over the last couple of months

131
00:10:34.760 --> 00:10:36.600
what has been happening with that.

132
00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:37.440
Yeah.

133
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:38.260
Give the details.

134
00:10:38.260 --> 00:10:39.100
And I do want to share that

135
00:10:39.100 --> 00:10:40.440
and I just want to reiterate again

136
00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:41.480
so you guys know like our hearts,

137
00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:43.120
like the things that aren't changing

138
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:46.320
are like our vision for this to be just a continuation

139
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:47.160
of the digital landscape.

140
00:10:47.160 --> 00:10:49.440
So what happened was we kind of,

141
00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:51.080
we were been doing tribe for a long time

142
00:10:51.080 --> 00:10:52.360
then we started kingdom messengers

143
00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:53.720
and all of last year

144
00:10:53.720 --> 00:10:55.800
we almost had like three businesses running.

145
00:10:55.800 --> 00:10:58.080
We had kingdom messengers, we had tribe

146
00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:00.600
and then we were still doing like development services

147
00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:02.000
for a bunch of clients.

148
00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:03.680
And so finally like this year

149
00:11:03.680 --> 00:11:06.280
it felt like everything kind of merged together

150
00:11:06.280 --> 00:11:07.640
and what we're doing with tribe,

151
00:11:07.640 --> 00:11:09.640
like everybody's having the same questions

152
00:11:09.640 --> 00:11:11.320
with what we're helping with kingdom messengers.

153
00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:13.800
And I was like, well, what really is the line?

154
00:11:13.800 --> 00:11:16.200
Like, oh, well, one is Christian and one is not.

155
00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:21.000
Well, we're really here to help promote kingdom creators.

156
00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:24.240
I don't really care if some business wants to use it.

157
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:26.560
It's not, that's like a by-product,

158
00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:28.080
but so we're like, well, you know,

159
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:30.240
so it's starting to kind of merge more together.

160
00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:31.920
There's a lot more synergy taking place.

161
00:11:31.920 --> 00:11:34.440
So that's, I would say that it's kind of the same thing.

162
00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:36.560
It's just, it's kind of just adding to it now

163
00:11:36.560 --> 00:11:37.920
because we've been building this other thing.

164
00:11:37.920 --> 00:11:40.440
But yeah, what's happened, like it was funny

165
00:11:40.440 --> 00:11:42.480
because we actually looked at it

166
00:11:42.480 --> 00:11:45.320
from a financial standpoint and we decided,

167
00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:47.400
hey, we're just gonna like put a pause on tribe

168
00:11:47.400 --> 00:11:51.040
starting in like October, September, October.

169
00:11:51.040 --> 00:11:53.240
Yeah, maybe early, early fall.

170
00:11:53.240 --> 00:11:54.080
Yeah, and so we were like,

171
00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:56.200
hey, we're gonna go all in on this big challenge

172
00:11:56.840 --> 00:11:59.880
for Kingdom Messengers in September, which we never did.

173
00:11:59.880 --> 00:12:03.480
And then we basically, we had an opportunity

174
00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:08.240
to work with Pedro a day on some stuff with 100X

175
00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:11.080
and they, he consensually came in and tried to,

176
00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:15.200
and worked to help build and promote tribe with us,

177
00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:16.800
which has been really exciting.

178
00:12:16.800 --> 00:12:17.920
And so-

179
00:12:17.920 --> 00:12:19.520
Can I just share one piece of that story

180
00:12:19.520 --> 00:12:20.840
because it's important?

181
00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:22.640
We had a conversation together.

182
00:12:22.640 --> 00:12:24.240
We said, we're gonna put tribe on the shelf,

183
00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:25.360
meaning it still exists,

184
00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:28.680
but we weren't going to invest anymore in building it out

185
00:12:28.680 --> 00:12:30.120
and building it fully.

186
00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:34.200
And within a week, we had a call from Pedro about this.

187
00:12:34.200 --> 00:12:36.840
So it was like, we kind of laid it down thinking like,

188
00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:38.040
we're not gonna give any more to this.

189
00:12:38.040 --> 00:12:40.360
And then the Lord like opened up.

190
00:12:40.360 --> 00:12:42.240
It was just very significant to timing.

191
00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:45.600
Exactly, and so it's been really great.

192
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:47.360
It's been an insane amount of work.

193
00:12:47.360 --> 00:12:49.040
It's like the last few months,

194
00:12:49.040 --> 00:12:51.920
particularly the last 60 days has been insane.

195
00:12:52.800 --> 00:12:55.600
And so our team is looking forward

196
00:12:55.600 --> 00:12:57.120
to having like a Christmas break soon.

197
00:12:57.120 --> 00:12:58.800
I hear that's around the corner.

198
00:12:58.800 --> 00:13:01.680
And so, but we are gonna be taking like a little bit

199
00:13:01.680 --> 00:13:03.080
of a slower February,

200
00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:05.880
kind of get back into like a good pace.

201
00:13:05.880 --> 00:13:09.560
But did that, we had, we, you know,

202
00:13:09.560 --> 00:13:10.520
as you guys know, last year,

203
00:13:10.520 --> 00:13:12.600
we launched tribe with Graham Cook.

204
00:13:12.600 --> 00:13:15.600
We had tribe running on God Behind Bars.

205
00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:18.400
We also launched it in like two or three other ministries.

206
00:13:18.400 --> 00:13:20.200
There's a big church out of Texas

207
00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:22.840
that is like using it for all of their platforms

208
00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:26.040
and all their, they just launched an app this week.

209
00:13:26.040 --> 00:13:28.560
And so there's just a number of people

210
00:13:28.560 --> 00:13:31.560
who are using this in a really cool way for the kingdom.

211
00:13:31.560 --> 00:13:34.600
And so, and then most recently the Wisdom Challenge

212
00:13:34.600 --> 00:13:37.840
and they had about 75,000 opt-ins

213
00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:39.800
and email addresses come in.

214
00:13:39.800 --> 00:13:41.880
You get people who joined the challenge.

215
00:13:41.880 --> 00:13:44.440
We had about 32,000 app downloads,

216
00:13:44.440 --> 00:13:48.560
like in the App Store and the Google Play Store.

217
00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:49.720
And I don't know,

218
00:13:49.720 --> 00:13:52.280
there was something like half a million video views,

219
00:13:52.280 --> 00:13:55.040
like in 30 days, which is wild.

220
00:13:55.040 --> 00:13:59.760
And then, so, sorry, I think Hannah just bumped her head.

221
00:13:59.760 --> 00:14:00.600
She's fine.

222
00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:01.600
She's good.

223
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:02.600
She's not by herself.

224
00:14:02.600 --> 00:14:03.440
She's with Graham.

225
00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:04.400
She's not by herself.

226
00:14:04.400 --> 00:14:05.520
So it's been amazing.

227
00:14:05.520 --> 00:14:09.240
And particularly that we actually in this last 30 days

228
00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:12.080
have found a way to sort of monetize the platform

229
00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:12.960
for the creators.

230
00:14:12.960 --> 00:14:14.960
So we're actually able to use the platform

231
00:14:14.960 --> 00:14:19.960
to generate a bunch of revenue for 100X and through that.

232
00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:21.640
So, which has really been our passion

233
00:14:21.640 --> 00:14:25.880
is to try to find ways for Kingdom content creators

234
00:14:25.880 --> 00:14:28.520
to actually generate funds

235
00:14:28.520 --> 00:14:30.240
and make this more of a lifestyle.

236
00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:31.080
Yeah.

237
00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:31.920
I mean, to support them.

238
00:14:31.920 --> 00:14:34.120
So, you know, as we were building it out,

239
00:14:34.120 --> 00:14:35.360
kind of the first priority,

240
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:36.960
which you've heard us talk about a lot

241
00:14:36.960 --> 00:14:39.480
was giving the creators ownership of their data,

242
00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:41.600
of their users, you know, that was taking place.

243
00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:43.160
But this is like another piece of that,

244
00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:46.280
allowing content creators to utilize the platform

245
00:14:46.280 --> 00:14:49.360
as they would with maybe social media in the past,

246
00:14:49.360 --> 00:14:51.000
but in a much safer way

247
00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:52.280
and being able to generate revenue

248
00:14:52.280 --> 00:14:53.480
so they become self-sustaining,

249
00:14:53.480 --> 00:14:54.880
which you've heard us talk about many times

250
00:14:54.880 --> 00:14:56.200
about how great would it be

251
00:14:56.200 --> 00:14:58.120
if ministries were self-sustaining in that way.

252
00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:00.120
So it's really cool.

253
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:03.880
Well, those numbers are really big, but think about the acceleration that's

254
00:15:03.880 --> 00:15:09.180
happened when you've got 32,000 people downloading the app, like it's amazing

255
00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:12.680
how things are tweaked so quickly and built so quickly when you got that many

256
00:15:12.680 --> 00:15:17.520
users using things and it's, it's really accelerated the whole thing.

257
00:15:17.520 --> 00:15:21.760
So it's like, we we've been boots with is a term in the startup where

258
00:15:21.760 --> 00:15:26.040
the we're bootstrapping tribe, meaning that we didn't have investors come in.

259
00:15:26.040 --> 00:15:28.720
We didn't have anyone put in like a ton of money to make this happen.

260
00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:32.520
We just sold a website and then we took that money and we like put it into more

261
00:15:32.520 --> 00:15:35.440
development and then we like sold two websites and then we like, you know,

262
00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:36.920
kept just building it.

263
00:15:36.920 --> 00:15:40.000
We did kingdom messengers, like funded a lot of tribe development.

264
00:15:40.360 --> 00:15:44.000
So it's, you know, something that we felt the Lord had given us to do and not to

265
00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:45.400
bring like a bunch of partners in.

266
00:15:45.640 --> 00:15:47.520
And even today, like it's still a hundred percent.

267
00:15:47.880 --> 00:15:50.080
Lindsay and mine, like that's, we own all of tribe.

268
00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:53.960
We still have, we have clients that are using it like a hundred X and others,

269
00:15:54.280 --> 00:15:58.080
but it's, it's still our thing that we feel like the Lord's given us to run.

270
00:15:58.640 --> 00:16:02.600
And so I was just going to say, as far as the number you said, those are big

271
00:16:02.600 --> 00:16:06.080
numbers. Like it was essentially like we were just building and then all of a

272
00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:10.240
sudden, like the gasoline was poured on this little fire that we were, we were,

273
00:16:10.280 --> 00:16:11.520
you know, chipping away at.

274
00:16:11.520 --> 00:16:15.160
So it's been awesome because we've, we feel like we've accelerated at least a

275
00:16:15.160 --> 00:16:17.360
year or two into the future of that.

276
00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:19.240
So it's been, it's been awesome.

277
00:16:19.240 --> 00:16:22.680
And just some of the stats on the, cause I just saw that we just got off a meeting

278
00:16:22.680 --> 00:16:27.960
now. I think they're close to like 20, 2300 people have like joined

279
00:16:27.960 --> 00:16:31.240
this like monthly membership, which is $31.

280
00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:34.680
So you can do the math on that. Like, it's like, what, 65,000,

281
00:16:34.680 --> 00:16:38.600
$70,000 a month is going to be like clicking in for, um,

282
00:16:38.640 --> 00:16:41.560
eight to eight, uh, this is a hundred X, um, with this,

283
00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:45.160
they're doing a thing called kingdom seekers. Um,

284
00:16:45.280 --> 00:16:48.440
and so it's just like daily devotional discipleship stuff,

285
00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:49.640
which is really cool. It's been,

286
00:16:49.640 --> 00:16:52.640
that's what's one of our things we wanted like right from the beginning for

287
00:16:52.640 --> 00:16:56.400
tribe was to help build actual life change in people and discipleship.

288
00:16:56.880 --> 00:16:59.040
And so that's going to be happening. Um,

289
00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:03.000
so what was cool is we got to pair like our technology with Pedro doing the,

290
00:17:03.040 --> 00:17:06.680
the marketing and the branding and the, the, the sales part of it.

291
00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:09.920
And so it just really like came together. Um, so that's,

292
00:17:09.960 --> 00:17:13.119
that kicks off tomorrow. So like, we just finished this like crazy challenge,

293
00:17:13.119 --> 00:17:15.079
but like, they're just started this new product tomorrow.

294
00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:17.960
And all of that is happening inside of, inside of tribes.

295
00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:20.520
So now what's cool is like all those features,

296
00:17:20.520 --> 00:17:23.920
all those cool things we just built for them are going to be available to like

297
00:17:23.920 --> 00:17:27.119
all tribe users soon. Um, we're just,

298
00:17:27.119 --> 00:17:30.440
it's taking us a little bit of time to get them basically moved back to like

299
00:17:30.520 --> 00:17:34.960
everybody else. So it kind of upgraded the whole platform by doing this.

300
00:17:35.120 --> 00:17:37.920
Yeah. So it affects people who have tribes. Yeah.

301
00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:42.360
There's the sun is not cooperating, our natural studio lighting today.

302
00:17:43.160 --> 00:17:46.280
Um, and so it's really exciting because you can see the ripple effect that

303
00:17:46.280 --> 00:17:49.760
happens because of what has happened in the last couple of months.

304
00:17:49.800 --> 00:17:52.280
And so it's very, it's very cool.

305
00:17:52.280 --> 00:17:55.600
And it's something that you'll all benefit from, um, utilizing tribe.

306
00:17:55.600 --> 00:17:58.640
Those features will trickle into what you guys are doing as well.

307
00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:02.360
And that's really it's we, I love how we built it.

308
00:18:02.360 --> 00:18:06.800
We haven't built it off of like Bruce said, um, investment venture capital is

309
00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:10.560
capital. What is the word venture capital, venture capital.

310
00:18:10.920 --> 00:18:15.280
We are building this kind of as we go. And I think it's,

311
00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:19.880
it's been done in a really unique way when it comes to tech

312
00:18:19.880 --> 00:18:22.400
startups. And I think it's something the Lord gave us in the way to do it.

313
00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:27.200
So one other thing that I want to speak about that I've been

314
00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:29.160
talking to Lord about, because that's the,

315
00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:30.800
that's the tech side and the structure side,

316
00:18:30.800 --> 00:18:34.480
but kind of going back to the kingdom messenger, the content creator side,

317
00:18:35.240 --> 00:18:39.120
something that I've been talking to Lord about for years that has bothered me

318
00:18:39.120 --> 00:18:42.280
with a lot of mentorship programs, discipleship programs,

319
00:18:42.280 --> 00:18:46.520
ministry programs is often what tends to happen is

320
00:18:47.120 --> 00:18:52.080
people become very attached to whatever the program is or the church or the

321
00:18:52.080 --> 00:18:56.560
ministry. And it becomes sometimes in people's lives. And this is not,

322
00:18:56.640 --> 00:19:00.160
I'm not saying that this is something that the churches or the ministers or the

323
00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:04.760
mentors are wanting to do or trying to do. I just think it's people are,

324
00:19:04.800 --> 00:19:08.400
people come sometimes in a, in a desperate place,

325
00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:12.440
and then they experience some life change and they become beholden to that

326
00:19:12.440 --> 00:19:15.160
person or that ministry more than they are to the Lord.

327
00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:18.320
And it's something that I have wrestled with in my own life.

328
00:19:18.320 --> 00:19:21.040
Like I have made spiritual fathers and mothers,

329
00:19:21.040 --> 00:19:24.600
even like as if they're Christ in my life. Right.

330
00:19:24.680 --> 00:19:28.800
And that only leads to eventual discouragement or disappointment because it's,

331
00:19:28.880 --> 00:19:29.720
it is,

332
00:19:30.560 --> 00:19:34.640
you're making an idol out of people and no one should have that place in your

333
00:19:34.640 --> 00:19:36.160
life other than the Lord.

334
00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:41.560
And I don't want that to happen with us and the people that we're mentoring in

335
00:19:41.560 --> 00:19:45.080
the ministry that we're building. I love that there has been impact,

336
00:19:45.080 --> 00:19:47.480
that there has been transformation, that there has been growth,

337
00:19:47.480 --> 00:19:48.520
that there has been success.

338
00:19:48.520 --> 00:19:52.880
The Lord has allowed us to be a part of your story and what he's partnering with

339
00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:56.320
you on, but I never want you to feel, um,

340
00:19:56.400 --> 00:19:58.040
obligated or

341
00:19:59.520 --> 00:20:00.360
unhealthy.

342
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:04.280
fully attached to what we're doing that you feel like you can't do it without us.

343
00:20:05.160 --> 00:20:10.760
And so part of this fallow ground season at for kingdom messengers, and I'm not

344
00:20:10.760 --> 00:20:14.080
saying it's going to be like a year or seven years, I really feel like it's just

345
00:20:14.080 --> 00:20:16.440
giving us a couple months of breathing room.

346
00:20:16.520 --> 00:20:22.520
Us and you is that again, going back to Romans, I know Graham shared this with us

347
00:20:22.520 --> 00:20:27.760
and our membership, but you talking about that discipleship model of from the Lord

348
00:20:27.760 --> 00:20:33.400
through the Lord to the Lord, we believe that the Lord has given you guys, given,

349
00:20:33.600 --> 00:20:36.880
given you to us for a season to be a part of your journey.

350
00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:38.960
And we are our initial prayer.

351
00:20:38.960 --> 00:20:43.560
When we started kingdom messengers two years ago was Lord, give us the people

352
00:20:43.560 --> 00:20:45.240
that you wish for us to receive.

353
00:20:45.800 --> 00:20:49.400
I mean, that's like, that's the prayer that we pray when we put out ads, even

354
00:20:49.400 --> 00:20:53.840
like, you know, we, we, we do the work as far as, Hey, we know how to strategize

355
00:20:53.840 --> 00:20:57.920
and target, but Lord truly bring us the people that you wish for us to receive.

356
00:20:57.920 --> 00:21:00.080
That is our, our prayer.

357
00:21:00.320 --> 00:21:01.520
And I feel like he did that.

358
00:21:01.800 --> 00:21:04.480
And now it's time for us to give you back to him.

359
00:21:05.520 --> 00:21:11.280
That's what I feel like it is, is that, okay, Lord, just so you know, with pure

360
00:21:11.280 --> 00:21:16.520
hearts and pure hands, we are not holding on to tightly and, and you have given us

361
00:21:16.520 --> 00:21:18.880
these people for a season and now we're giving them back to you.

362
00:21:19.080 --> 00:21:21.600
I don't think that that means that we'll never see you again.

363
00:21:21.640 --> 00:21:26.880
That's not what, but maybe, maybe, but I mean, for some of you, that is, but

364
00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:28.640
that is the level of freedom, right?

365
00:21:28.800 --> 00:21:30.240
Maybe we will never see you again.

366
00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:31.680
Maybe we'll never connect again.

367
00:21:31.680 --> 00:21:36.640
Maybe we'll never know the full impact of all that's been planted in you guys in

368
00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:37.680
the time that you've been here with us.

369
00:21:37.680 --> 00:21:39.600
And that is okay.

370
00:21:39.760 --> 00:21:41.080
That needs to be okay.

371
00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:46.000
Because we want you to be beholden to him alone because you're his.

372
00:21:46.440 --> 00:21:48.600
So he's given us to you for a season.

373
00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:53.400
We've worked with you as he's worked through us to implant, to plant things

374
00:21:53.400 --> 00:21:54.880
in you and grow things in you.

375
00:21:54.880 --> 00:21:56.520
And now we're giving you back to him.

376
00:21:56.960 --> 00:22:00.000
And so that's, that's our hearts in this.

377
00:22:00.080 --> 00:22:03.480
And we wanted to share the tribe piece because we didn't want you to feel

378
00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:06.080
like, oh, wow, kingdom messengers is going away.

379
00:22:06.320 --> 00:22:08.960
It's like, it's not, we're going to be doing this for the next 10 years.

380
00:22:08.960 --> 00:22:09.120
Yeah.

381
00:22:09.120 --> 00:22:12.480
This, this continues to be a life mission of ours.

382
00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:14.320
It's happening in different expressions.

383
00:22:14.320 --> 00:22:17.880
And it's definitely not something that we're now like peace out, see you later.

384
00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:21.800
But the heart of it is it's time for us to give you back to him.

385
00:22:22.600 --> 00:22:27.080
And, um, and so that's what the next season is, I think on the horizon, I'll

386
00:22:27.080 --> 00:22:30.720
tell you guys this, because we want you to be some of the first people to know

387
00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:36.560
like, what is, what do we feel like would be the future of the kingdom messenger

388
00:22:36.560 --> 00:22:40.240
side is we have been talking about what would it look like to do not an annual

389
00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:44.480
membership, but a monthly membership where people could have access to live

390
00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:48.760
coaching calls if they need it and the tech support, like you've had in this

391
00:22:48.760 --> 00:22:51.040
group and it can be a month to month basis.

392
00:22:51.040 --> 00:22:54.240
So it's not a long-term commitment, but it's something that the person can

393
00:22:54.240 --> 00:22:58.200
control based on what they feel like they would need and how long they would need it.

394
00:22:58.720 --> 00:23:03.040
And, um, so that's what we're, that's what we're kind of working with and dreaming up.

395
00:23:03.040 --> 00:23:06.640
We don't have a final plan and it could, it could change tomorrow.

396
00:23:06.640 --> 00:23:10.120
We're very open with the Lord about that, but that's what we've been dreaming

397
00:23:10.120 --> 00:23:12.000
about as far as the kingdom messenger side.

398
00:23:12.360 --> 00:23:17.760
We would love to plant some more seed in the community piece, because I feel like

399
00:23:17.760 --> 00:23:22.440
we've got this group of 1500 people who have raised their hand and said, I want

400
00:23:22.440 --> 00:23:27.880
to partner in your vision of leveraging the digital landscape to disciple nation.

401
00:23:27.880 --> 00:23:29.920
So we'd love to pour into that group a little bit.

402
00:23:30.360 --> 00:23:32.840
I'm asking the Lord, what do I have permission to do?

403
00:23:32.840 --> 00:23:35.640
Like, do we do some prophetic prayer calls in that group?

404
00:23:35.640 --> 00:23:39.600
Like the bigger group, do we, you know, do some tech Tuesdays in that group or

405
00:23:40.320 --> 00:23:42.320
even some tech support calls every now and then.

406
00:23:42.320 --> 00:23:43.720
So we're talking about that.

407
00:23:44.040 --> 00:23:47.880
Nothing's finalized, but those are the things on the horizon for kingdom messengers.

408
00:23:47.880 --> 00:23:50.600
So it's not even like, we're never even thinking about kingdom messengers.

409
00:23:50.920 --> 00:23:54.360
We're definitely thinking about it, but we feel as far as the output right now,

410
00:23:54.560 --> 00:23:56.280
the Lord's asking us to do something different.

411
00:23:57.040 --> 00:24:01.040
And we're looking at like, how can we, how can we help you guys and everybody who

412
00:24:01.040 --> 00:24:02.800
wants to be a part of this movement?

413
00:24:03.280 --> 00:24:08.160
Um, like we do feel like we've started like a movement of, you know, of, of, at

414
00:24:08.160 --> 00:24:12.920
some scale and we want to see like, how can we most effectively use our time?

415
00:24:13.240 --> 00:24:15.040
We, our team is very, very small.

416
00:24:15.080 --> 00:24:20.280
Like, um, you're like Tamara and, and the two of us are like the whole Carolina

417
00:24:20.560 --> 00:24:21.440
may missions or team.

418
00:24:21.440 --> 00:24:21.560
Yeah.

419
00:24:21.560 --> 00:24:24.600
And Carolina has been helping and she's really on the tribe side of things.

420
00:24:24.880 --> 00:24:28.240
So that, and then we have one other developer, like that's the entire

421
00:24:28.240 --> 00:24:30.040
company doing all of this stuff.

422
00:24:30.360 --> 00:24:30.840
So.

423
00:24:31.520 --> 00:24:34.240
We don't think it's going to stay that small, but that's just, we're having to

424
00:24:34.800 --> 00:24:40.080
be very strategic with like where our time is focused, but we know that part of

425
00:24:40.080 --> 00:24:45.320
it, it isn't going to be like, here's some software, have fun with it.

426
00:24:45.560 --> 00:24:49.520
It's going to be like software plus like a lot of teaching and education

427
00:24:49.520 --> 00:24:51.120
about how to use that tool.

428
00:24:51.640 --> 00:24:55.880
Um, and, and, and what's exciting is before it was, was very much like a

429
00:24:55.880 --> 00:24:59.920
website, Oh, I put all my content on a website now, like.

430
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:05.280
happened in the last 30 days or so with the wisdom challenges, it turned into a discipleship

431
00:25:05.280 --> 00:25:09.680
platform, which is really exciting. And it, you know, into a mobile app that was on your phone

432
00:25:09.680 --> 00:25:14.960
that you could like engage and interact and have discussion with people. So that's, it's really

433
00:25:14.960 --> 00:25:19.920
exciting where it's headed and all those tools will make available to you guys as well. So

434
00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:26.720
we will like continue, like we've got to where to from now, like we have the Kingdom Messenger

435
00:25:26.720 --> 00:25:30.560
community. It's a great place to just post stuff, anything that's related to Kingdom Messengers,

436
00:25:31.840 --> 00:25:35.680
wins questions, you can throw stuff in there. There's still, you know, we'll probably be a

437
00:25:35.680 --> 00:25:39.280
little more active in that and post things here and there. Since we're not going to be running

438
00:25:39.280 --> 00:25:44.960
like an intensive group, right? We don't have any challenges planned. If we do, they'll happen in

439
00:25:44.960 --> 00:25:52.480
that group. And then if you're in the tribe, social Facebook group will also, I'm pretty

440
00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:57.120
much gonna be posting stuff there. And potentially we're playing with the idea of even having like

441
00:25:57.120 --> 00:26:02.000
a weekly call just for tribe, for people who are using tribe. So not exclusively all Kingdom

442
00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:07.520
Messengers, but all Kingdom people that are using it just to do some training and show new features

443
00:26:07.520 --> 00:26:13.600
and all of that. So plenty of stuff to kind of be connected on that side. Yeah. Yeah. Cool. And

444
00:26:13.600 --> 00:26:18.000
that was like 327. I'm going to leave time for everybody. Yeah. So we want to hear from you guys,

445
00:26:18.080 --> 00:26:24.320
like where the questions again that you posed. Yeah. Where did you, what would you feel, how did

446
00:26:24.320 --> 00:26:29.600
you feel like you advanced the last four months in Kingdom Messenger advancement? And then what are

447
00:26:29.600 --> 00:26:37.360
you planning to do the next for the rest for 2023? Yeah. Yeah. And we could just. Should I call on

448
00:26:37.360 --> 00:26:41.120
people? We're just going to go in order here because everybody, or else we're not. Okay. We'll

449
00:26:41.120 --> 00:26:55.360
go in order. Let's start with Susie. Let's get you, let's get you unmuted. Sorry. Yeah. I think

450
00:26:55.360 --> 00:27:03.600
I've gone from yeah. Okay. To yes, Lord. Absolutely. I really appreciate the landing page.

451
00:27:04.240 --> 00:27:09.520
I don't know if I'm the kind of person likes to know where the end is and I feel like, okay,

452
00:27:09.520 --> 00:27:17.920
I've got a sense of where the end is and, and how to, how to pull this all off together. So I,

453
00:27:17.920 --> 00:27:24.560
yeah, just, I feel much stronger in, in the whole tech thing. And, and that I can, I just,

454
00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:31.520
I erased my landing page off the website and had to do it all over again. So that was good. And I,

455
00:27:31.520 --> 00:27:37.520
and I redid it. And so that was a good exercise. Where I'm going from this is I'm still really

456
00:27:37.520 --> 00:27:43.760
clear that what I'm doing is providing firm scriptures for people. And I'm looking forward

457
00:27:43.760 --> 00:27:51.280
to having calls about, okay, we've, we've read this about this. What does it mean to you? And

458
00:27:51.280 --> 00:27:58.640
how do you think about it? Because I don't, I'm not inserting any of myself right now into what

459
00:27:58.640 --> 00:28:04.560
I'm presenting because I want it to be available for anybody to use, but I'm looking forward to

460
00:28:04.560 --> 00:28:11.200
having conversations. And, and one of the big ones for me is all this neurobiology, Jim Wilder

461
00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:16.800
calls himself a neurotheologian. And I've been connected with a lot of people going that way.

462
00:28:16.800 --> 00:28:23.120
And I'm really curious about how does that connect with what the Bible calls our frame?

463
00:28:23.920 --> 00:28:30.320
And because people aren't familiar with that and just how does that all work? So I'm excited.

464
00:28:31.280 --> 00:28:33.680
Awesome. Hey, Marion.

465
00:28:36.320 --> 00:28:43.600
So for me, God's been doing things in my life recently that have really kept me very busy.

466
00:28:44.960 --> 00:28:50.720
And it's got nothing to do with the videos. It's just, I prayed a prayer about the homeless.

467
00:28:51.440 --> 00:28:56.960
How can we help them? Because they're not in our community. And the following day,

468
00:28:56.960 --> 00:29:02.400
a friend said, have you still got rooms to rent? I have somebody who's come out of prison and a

469
00:29:02.400 --> 00:29:07.440
halfway house. And if she doesn't get a place, she'll be on the streets. And I thought, okay,

470
00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:14.720
that sounds like God. And somebody had phoned me or emailed me three weeks before with the same

471
00:29:14.720 --> 00:29:22.960
thing. A lady, Christian lady, father was a pastor and has to move out and can't afford rent.

472
00:29:23.680 --> 00:29:29.120
So I've got two ladies moving into my house within a couple of weeks, or maybe even this week.

473
00:29:30.320 --> 00:29:37.920
And it's totally, I had expected to move into a condo and was questioning God about it.

474
00:29:38.960 --> 00:29:42.640
But the great thing is one of them is going to do the house cleaning. The other one will do the

475
00:29:42.640 --> 00:29:49.600
gardening and cooks. So I'll be free to do what I want. But the other thing God has shown me this

476
00:29:49.600 --> 00:29:59.760
season is walking in the prophetic and not getting so much involved in pastoring people.

477
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:07.000
The videos, I don't know where I'm going. Once my landing page is finished, at least I can use it.

478
00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:17.000
But right now it's not finished and I'm struggling with it. But, you know, other than that, I don't know where my videos are going.

479
00:30:17.000 --> 00:30:25.000
I know I've, I've been sporadic for the last month. But God's told me not to stop.

480
00:30:25.000 --> 00:30:29.000
So, yeah.

481
00:30:29.000 --> 00:30:37.000
I just, I know he will show me what to do. He said, when it's time to stop, he'll tell me. So that's where I'm at.

482
00:30:37.000 --> 00:30:40.000
Sounds like you're flowing, Marion. You're flowing with him.

483
00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:57.000
Yeah, yeah. But my one question for you is a question. Once the landing page is finished, if we've got a tribe website, I think, Bruce, you said that then you will set up the website properly, right?

484
00:30:57.000 --> 00:30:59.000
Yeah. What do you mean by that?

485
00:30:59.000 --> 00:31:05.000
Well, well, originally I talked about, you know, when can I change the picture and do all this stuff?

486
00:31:05.000 --> 00:31:06.000
Oh, yeah.

487
00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:12.000
Once the landing page is finished, then you can finish the stuff that's not done.

488
00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:17.000
Yeah, I think, have you had a call with Carolina to work through the landing page?

489
00:31:17.000 --> 00:31:19.000
I've had two months, of course.

490
00:31:19.000 --> 00:31:26.000
Okay, cool. Okay, yeah, let's, let's figure out what that is. We will figure, I don't know where the disconnect is there.

491
00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:27.000
So I can even do it.

492
00:31:27.000 --> 00:31:31.000
Well, it's partly because I'm not very techie.

493
00:31:31.000 --> 00:31:34.000
And also it's been frustrating.

494
00:31:34.000 --> 00:31:41.000
But, you know, again, I know that it will get finished eventually.

495
00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:48.000
But I know from our side there's nothing that's pending on our side so let's let's connect offline, I'll reach out to you on an email.

496
00:31:49.000 --> 00:31:50.000
We'll get, we'll get it figured out.

497
00:31:50.000 --> 00:31:51.000
Oh, for sure.

498
00:31:51.000 --> 00:31:52.000
Yeah.

499
00:31:52.000 --> 00:32:02.000
Yeah, whenever, whenever, that's good because I figured, you know, you said that you would finish websites and things like that, anything that needed doing for people who are on tribe, right?

500
00:32:02.000 --> 00:32:13.000
So, I just really behind that end of things. So, but I really appreciate it. I have learned a lot in this last six weeks, has it been?

501
00:32:13.000 --> 00:32:23.000
Yeah, definitely. I've grown. I've learned a lot from you guys, more about even the place of rest, you know, God was showing everybody about rest.

502
00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:30.000
And finally after Christmas I thought, oh, maybe I'm supposed to be resting, and I'm doing too much.

503
00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:41.000
I questioned God about it and that's when he said no, I need to wait on him. But, but I'm not supposed to lay it down or stop so.

504
00:32:41.000 --> 00:32:42.000
Yeah.

505
00:32:42.000 --> 00:32:47.000
But thank you guys because it's really has been enriching.

506
00:32:47.000 --> 00:32:50.000
Yeah.

507
00:32:50.000 --> 00:32:55.000
And we'll make sure we get you the support you need Marian.

508
00:32:56.000 --> 00:33:06.000
Oh yeah, Cindy, thank you so much for joining us we are praying for your mom I've been praying for your mom, and for you and your sister and your family so thank you so much for joining us.

509
00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:13.000
Hey Amy.

510
00:33:13.000 --> 00:33:14.000
Hey.

511
00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:26.000
Okay, well, I feel like I identify a whole lot with Marian on, on the learning curve.

512
00:33:26.000 --> 00:33:35.000
I feel like there are, I don't in any way feel led to lay down

513
00:33:36.000 --> 00:33:43.000
the digital landscape, or my videos and and platforms.

514
00:33:43.000 --> 00:33:56.000
But I do also see new possibilities springing up and had a nice long talk with the Lord this morning.

515
00:33:56.000 --> 00:33:59.000
Well thanking him for you all.

516
00:33:59.000 --> 00:34:01.000
And all of you.

517
00:34:02.000 --> 00:34:28.000
But sensing that from him. Well I was thanking him for the growth and the, and the love for growth that he's put in me in, in my time with you all, and through this, I mean I, I run as fast as I can toward growth.

518
00:34:29.000 --> 00:34:32.000
When I used to shrink back and be afraid of it.

519
00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:44.000
And, but I did have this sense that it's time for me to walk in that growth.

520
00:34:44.000 --> 00:34:59.000
The rest component for me is, it's like the Lord just tells me everything that I do that he has for me is going to be brought forward from my journey that he's had me on, but it's going to be.

521
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:03.280
carried out from a place of rest.

522
00:35:03.280 --> 00:35:07.240
And it's going to be in my connection with him.

523
00:35:07.240 --> 00:35:11.040
And so I'm a late comer to tribe.

524
00:35:11.040 --> 00:35:15.600
Thank you, Bruce, because I didn't even

525
00:35:15.600 --> 00:35:21.040
know where to start prior to the 12-month thing.

526
00:35:21.040 --> 00:35:24.520
When that concluded, I didn't even know what to pick up.

527
00:35:24.520 --> 00:35:29.000
But I'm excited about developing that.

528
00:35:29.000 --> 00:35:33.800
I feel like it is a piece for me going forward.

529
00:35:33.800 --> 00:35:37.600
And then I'm excited about how he

530
00:35:37.600 --> 00:35:42.600
unfolds just the prophetic and the writing and the publishing

531
00:35:42.600 --> 00:35:44.240
that's ahead for me.

532
00:35:44.240 --> 00:35:47.080
So I do think I'm going to need to just sit still

533
00:35:47.080 --> 00:35:49.560
for a little while and let him talk

534
00:35:49.560 --> 00:35:51.440
to me about what that's going to look

535
00:35:51.440 --> 00:35:54.960
like for the rest of the year.

536
00:35:54.960 --> 00:35:55.880
Awesome.

537
00:35:55.880 --> 00:35:57.960
Of course, I'm excited about the writing, Amy.

538
00:35:57.960 --> 00:35:59.160
So I'm excited to hear that.

539
00:36:01.840 --> 00:36:02.520
Hey, Xavier.

540
00:36:08.120 --> 00:36:09.000
Oh, man.

541
00:36:09.000 --> 00:36:10.840
OK.

542
00:36:10.840 --> 00:36:14.040
First, I just want to thank everyone.

543
00:36:14.040 --> 00:36:19.400
So first, you and Bruce, just for your wisdom

544
00:36:19.400 --> 00:36:21.400
and your faithfulness and following through

545
00:36:21.400 --> 00:36:24.720
with what God has given you.

546
00:36:24.720 --> 00:36:27.040
Because your graciousness, your patience,

547
00:36:27.040 --> 00:36:29.880
everything's been just such a tremendous blessing.

548
00:36:29.880 --> 00:36:32.240
So I won't belabor that point.

549
00:36:32.240 --> 00:36:34.000
But I just really had to express that.

550
00:36:34.000 --> 00:36:36.640
And also give thanks to all the rest of you.

551
00:36:36.640 --> 00:36:41.080
Because everything that you've shared has meant so much

552
00:36:41.080 --> 00:36:43.240
and has been so encouraging.

553
00:36:43.240 --> 00:36:47.600
And this is family now.

554
00:36:47.600 --> 00:36:50.520
This is my family by choice.

555
00:36:50.520 --> 00:36:52.280
And I honestly feel that way.

556
00:36:52.280 --> 00:36:55.000
And if there's ever anything that I can do for any of you,

557
00:36:55.000 --> 00:36:58.680
please don't hesitate to ask.

558
00:36:58.680 --> 00:37:00.560
Where have I advanced?

559
00:37:00.560 --> 00:37:01.400
Wow.

560
00:37:01.400 --> 00:37:04.600
I will say that most of the advancement,

561
00:37:04.600 --> 00:37:05.760
I have been advancing.

562
00:37:05.760 --> 00:37:09.760
But most of it has been the last four to five weeks.

563
00:37:09.760 --> 00:37:13.520
It's just what God's been doing with me.

564
00:37:13.520 --> 00:37:17.040
And I've gained really an expanded vision

565
00:37:17.040 --> 00:37:21.480
of what I'm doing and clarity about what I'm doing.

566
00:37:21.480 --> 00:37:24.400
I think when I first got started with all of this,

567
00:37:24.400 --> 00:37:28.680
it was I wanted to figure out, OK, well,

568
00:37:28.680 --> 00:37:32.360
how do I get attention for whatever message

569
00:37:32.360 --> 00:37:33.680
that the Lord wants me to give?

570
00:37:33.680 --> 00:37:35.560
And I've known I've always been given things.

571
00:37:35.560 --> 00:37:38.800
But I didn't necessarily know how to get attention properly,

572
00:37:38.800 --> 00:37:41.240
how to do this right, and how to go about that.

573
00:37:41.240 --> 00:37:44.920
And so I started to learn that.

574
00:37:44.920 --> 00:37:48.680
But then it became, OK, now that I know how to get attention,

575
00:37:48.680 --> 00:37:51.360
what do I do with this attention?

576
00:37:51.360 --> 00:37:53.280
And so going into advancement, that

577
00:37:53.280 --> 00:37:57.360
was really something that I was trying to just wrestle with,

578
00:37:57.360 --> 00:38:02.040
even if I couldn't articulate it at the time.

579
00:38:02.040 --> 00:38:04.640
But when we went into this pause and went into this rest,

580
00:38:04.640 --> 00:38:09.120
it was really so that I could step back and focus.

581
00:38:09.120 --> 00:38:12.800
And for me, it was putting my dependence

582
00:38:12.800 --> 00:38:17.360
on the Lord in every area of my life.

583
00:38:17.360 --> 00:38:23.040
I've always been trying to have this line of demarcation

584
00:38:23.200 --> 00:38:27.720
or delineation between what's sacred and what's secular.

585
00:38:27.720 --> 00:38:31.720
And I've always struggled with that my entire life.

586
00:38:31.720 --> 00:38:34.320
And these past, especially these past four weeks,

587
00:38:34.320 --> 00:38:38.080
the Lord has just completely busted that apart.

588
00:38:38.080 --> 00:38:40.320
Because everything belongs to the Lord.

589
00:38:40.320 --> 00:38:44.440
And everything and how I approach it has to be in there.

590
00:38:44.440 --> 00:38:48.200
And so that's something that I've just really been learning.

591
00:38:48.200 --> 00:38:51.520
And believe me, I understand what you guys are talking about

592
00:38:51.520 --> 00:38:53.720
when you're bootstrapping your company and doing that.

593
00:38:53.720 --> 00:38:56.560
The company I work for, we've been doing the same thing.

594
00:38:56.560 --> 00:38:59.440
It's been really a challenge.

595
00:38:59.440 --> 00:39:03.560
And what the Lord has really just taught me in so many ways.

596
00:39:03.560 --> 00:39:05.960
I mean, we're just seeing miracles happen

597
00:39:05.960 --> 00:39:08.360
because it's just the dependence is on Him

598
00:39:08.360 --> 00:39:10.240
and not on all of this other stuff.

599
00:39:10.240 --> 00:39:12.880
He goes, my focus has needed to be on Him.

600
00:39:12.880 --> 00:39:16.640
So a lot of what you've shared, what each of you have shared,

601
00:39:16.680 --> 00:39:20.600
is really about focusing on the Lord

602
00:39:20.600 --> 00:39:24.160
and listening to what He is having to say.

603
00:39:24.160 --> 00:39:27.600
So as I'm moving forward now that I'm seeing

604
00:39:27.600 --> 00:39:29.520
and now that I have an expanded vision,

605
00:39:29.520 --> 00:39:30.760
I know how to get attention.

606
00:39:30.760 --> 00:39:33.080
I know what to do with it.

607
00:39:33.080 --> 00:39:36.520
I'm actually moving into for the rest of this year

608
00:39:36.520 --> 00:39:39.560
is to start coaching.

609
00:39:39.560 --> 00:39:40.840
I'm calling it smart coaching

610
00:39:40.840 --> 00:39:45.320
and it's smart for spiritual maturity, accountability,

611
00:39:45.320 --> 00:39:48.040
realignment and transformation.

612
00:39:48.040 --> 00:39:51.680
And we're really talking to people who have gotten so,

613
00:39:51.680 --> 00:39:53.720
who realize that religion

614
00:39:53.720 --> 00:39:55.280
is not what they need to be wrapped up in,

615
00:39:55.280 --> 00:39:57.240
but they need to be in relationship.

616
00:39:57.240 --> 00:40:00.120
So I'm kicking off a six month program.

617
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:19.000
to do that. And it just so happens that my pastor said something this week, we started talking, and we're on the same track, you know, just, you know, feeling with addressing different audiences and our different who's, but it's really the same thing.

618
00:40:19.000 --> 00:40:32.000
And because of what he's told me so now I'm going after just what I'm calling right now, kingdom ministers, because there are a lot of ministers who are wrapped up in the organizations or the institutions, and don't have the freedom to really

619
00:40:32.000 --> 00:40:45.000
or don't they don't feel that they have the freedom to to really step out and deliver the message that God really wants them to deliver. So, a lot of my coaching is going to be moving in that direction.

620
00:40:45.000 --> 00:40:56.000
And so as I'm doing that then I'm going to be building a community. And so, you know, when we first started I knew that I need to try but I wasn't sure how I was going to use it.

621
00:40:56.000 --> 00:41:05.000
And really the last four weeks I've started to go okay this is how I'm going to going to start to piece this together and it's really kind of starting to go together.

622
00:41:06.000 --> 00:41:22.000
So all of this, again, is because you guys have been faithful with what God has been telling you, you know, to do so that I can step out and do what he's telling me to do, you know, and I think that that, you know, this, this is just the beginning as I said

623
00:41:23.000 --> 00:41:34.000
And I'm going to be around for a while and if there's ever anything I can do to help anyone again, please don't don't hesitate to to ask for for any reason.

624
00:41:34.000 --> 00:41:43.000
Thank you, Xavier. Hey Bridget we'll go to you.

625
00:41:43.000 --> 00:41:49.000
You're muted. Hold on.

626
00:41:50.000 --> 00:41:52.000
Sorry, there you go.

627
00:41:52.000 --> 00:42:04.000
I feel like I've definitely got more clarity and like Marion said I feel like I've got more handle on the technology I'm not there yet but it definitely when like when the team asked me questions I know what they're referring to.

628
00:42:04.000 --> 00:42:13.000
So, you know, what's what I what I find helpful was every time you asked us those questions that forced me to go the next level. Okay, what is this and pushing it down.

629
00:42:13.000 --> 00:42:28.000
So I have almost finished my empty nesters book and then next week I'm setting up times with the brilliant team to do my new VSL recordings for parenting, and then hopefully sometime in March I'll launch my parenting coaching.

630
00:42:29.000 --> 00:42:35.000
I feel like I've made a lot of strides forward. Thank you.

631
00:42:35.000 --> 00:42:41.000
Hey Monica.

632
00:42:41.000 --> 00:42:43.000
Hey guys.

633
00:42:43.000 --> 00:42:45.000
Whoo.

634
00:42:45.000 --> 00:42:50.000
Like your T shirt shirt.

635
00:42:50.000 --> 00:43:05.000
So being one of the originals here. This is a, um, I don't know it's emotional for me to, to see the, it's not the closure it's actually the beginning of a new season.

636
00:43:05.000 --> 00:43:13.000
And, and if I could say one, one thing about YouTube, it's integrity.

637
00:43:13.000 --> 00:43:20.000
Integrity is one value that I hold very important in life and business.

638
00:43:20.000 --> 00:43:27.000
And as I've watched you both, you know, on the front end and the back end.

639
00:43:28.000 --> 00:43:33.000
That's the one thing I can say about you both about the shadow of a doubt.

640
00:43:33.000 --> 00:43:53.000
You are doing things because you believe that the Lord has called you to do it. And you've been obedient, and you have given and given and get an over delivered and over given, and I'm adding more givens to that multiply that by 1000, because I know what you guys

641
00:43:54.000 --> 00:44:10.000
You're sneaky because you're humble. And, but I know what you've sacrificed, and you've given why, because you're people of integrity you truly want this family to be able to make an impact.

642
00:44:10.000 --> 00:44:20.000
And so for that I am just, I'm so grateful. I'm so so grateful. I've learned the importance of community, that we can't do it alone.

643
00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:39.000
And during this season for this advancement group has probably been the most difficult season of my life, both in business and personally, and just the fact that I knew that I could reach out to any to you Bruce or to Lindsay or have that you know that what

644
00:44:40.000 --> 00:44:58.000
it made all the difference in the world because when you know you have people that are that are grounded, that are like a foundation you can stand on, you're able to stand a little taller and a little firmer, even when there are moments that take you to your knees.

645
00:44:58.000 --> 00:45:00.000
And so you guys have been that.

646
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:03.240
for this community, for me personally,

647
00:45:03.240 --> 00:45:05.920
and I so, so appreciate that.

648
00:45:05.920 --> 00:45:09.480
So integrity, community, growth,

649
00:45:09.480 --> 00:45:13.360
like one of the things I love about you guys

650
00:45:13.360 --> 00:45:15.160
is when you've done your calls,

651
00:45:15.160 --> 00:45:16.880
you're like, we've gotten this word,

652
00:45:16.880 --> 00:45:18.840
or this person got this word,

653
00:45:18.840 --> 00:45:20.780
but I see it for the whole group.

654
00:45:20.780 --> 00:45:22.640
So that means all of you just grab it,

655
00:45:22.640 --> 00:45:24.180
grab it, grab it.

656
00:45:24.180 --> 00:45:27.400
And I've been grabbing, and I've been grabbing,

657
00:45:27.400 --> 00:45:28.840
and I've been taking,

658
00:45:28.840 --> 00:45:31.720
and I've been seeing the goodness of the Lord

659
00:45:31.720 --> 00:45:35.160
manifested literally before my eyes

660
00:45:35.160 --> 00:45:37.020
in so many different ways.

661
00:45:37.020 --> 00:45:38.960
So he's been pruning us,

662
00:45:38.960 --> 00:45:41.800
he's been removing some things from us

663
00:45:41.800 --> 00:45:43.440
that have not served us,

664
00:45:43.440 --> 00:45:46.440
but then he's been growing some things in us

665
00:45:46.440 --> 00:45:49.240
that are preparing us for that next season.

666
00:45:49.240 --> 00:45:52.440
So for me, Sanctuary Girl is no longer,

667
00:45:52.440 --> 00:45:54.800
like officially we signed the contract,

668
00:45:54.800 --> 00:45:58.280
now it's gonna be Mon Christian Gifts.

669
00:45:58.280 --> 00:46:01.840
And we're gonna be able to just move it forward,

670
00:46:01.840 --> 00:46:04.880
to the world like how the Lord wants it to be.

671
00:46:04.880 --> 00:46:07.600
And so I believe that everything

672
00:46:07.600 --> 00:46:10.580
that he's placed in each and every one of you

673
00:46:10.580 --> 00:46:12.120
is so on purpose.

674
00:46:12.120 --> 00:46:14.360
The whole journey with Bruce and Lindsay

675
00:46:14.360 --> 00:46:18.360
has been so, the timing impeccable,

676
00:46:18.360 --> 00:46:22.100
the timing impeccable for what he wants

677
00:46:22.100 --> 00:46:23.520
each and every one of you to do.

678
00:46:23.520 --> 00:46:26.200
Last night we were in a meeting with Steve Backland

679
00:46:26.200 --> 00:46:31.200
and his team and a group of prophetic people from Bethel

680
00:46:33.280 --> 00:46:35.960
who are there as well, we're going tonight.

681
00:46:35.960 --> 00:46:38.200
And he said something that I just love

682
00:46:38.200 --> 00:46:40.080
and I'm gonna share it with you.

683
00:46:40.080 --> 00:46:44.480
He said, that David's secular hobby

684
00:46:44.480 --> 00:46:46.020
is what saved a nation.

685
00:46:47.560 --> 00:46:49.760
Playing around with his slingshot.

686
00:46:49.920 --> 00:46:53.060
And nothing to do with worship

687
00:46:53.060 --> 00:46:55.720
and nothing to do with all the things.

688
00:46:55.720 --> 00:47:00.080
He has given each and every one of you something

689
00:47:01.440 --> 00:47:06.440
particular, specific, so you that nobody else has.

690
00:47:07.060 --> 00:47:08.720
And I think that Bruce and Lindsay

691
00:47:08.720 --> 00:47:11.280
have done such an excellent job

692
00:47:11.280 --> 00:47:13.120
of like bringing that out of us.

693
00:47:13.120 --> 00:47:14.880
Those areas, even the text,

694
00:47:14.880 --> 00:47:18.440
even those parts that like we hit up against a wall,

695
00:47:18.440 --> 00:47:21.800
but those are all the secular parts that you never know

696
00:47:21.800 --> 00:47:25.680
he's going to use to change a nation, right?

697
00:47:25.680 --> 00:47:29.640
And so I'm just, I'm so thankful for you both.

698
00:47:29.640 --> 00:47:32.680
I'm going to continue pursuing you guys

699
00:47:33.800 --> 00:47:36.560
as you lose through the ebbs and flows

700
00:47:36.560 --> 00:47:40.600
of business and life, because I cannot stand the thought

701
00:47:40.600 --> 00:47:44.320
of just not, you know, just being in the atmosphere

702
00:47:44.320 --> 00:47:48.080
of your amazingness, but, and all of you as well.

703
00:47:48.720 --> 00:47:53.000
But I just feel that this is an amazing beginning.

704
00:47:53.000 --> 00:47:55.600
Steve was talking, and I'll be quiet,

705
00:47:55.600 --> 00:47:57.360
but Steve was talking last night

706
00:47:57.360 --> 00:48:02.360
about the importance of faith attached to hope.

707
00:48:02.440 --> 00:48:05.120
He was saying we can have faith,

708
00:48:05.120 --> 00:48:07.360
but we're having faith for one thing.

709
00:48:07.360 --> 00:48:10.560
And then what happens when that one thing doesn't happen?

710
00:48:10.560 --> 00:48:13.880
Discouragement sets in, overwhelm, stress, anxiety,

711
00:48:13.880 --> 00:48:17.440
all of the things, but when you attach it to hope,

712
00:48:17.440 --> 00:48:19.760
it's not just one outcome that can happen.

713
00:48:19.760 --> 00:48:21.840
There's so many different outcomes.

714
00:48:21.840 --> 00:48:24.640
And I think that that's what Lindsay and Bruce stand for.

715
00:48:24.640 --> 00:48:29.360
It's all the possibilities, like closing this is not an end.

716
00:48:29.360 --> 00:48:32.280
It's just another possibility opening up

717
00:48:32.280 --> 00:48:34.960
of what he originally had intended

718
00:48:34.960 --> 00:48:36.480
through their act of faith.

719
00:48:37.320 --> 00:48:41.160
And so that excites me to see that you guys are bold enough

720
00:48:41.160 --> 00:48:44.320
and just kind of strong enough and gutsy enough

721
00:48:44.320 --> 00:48:46.960
to listen and to make that move.

722
00:48:47.480 --> 00:48:50.040
So I'm just thankful, so, so thankful.

723
00:48:50.040 --> 00:48:51.880
I will never forget this season

724
00:48:51.880 --> 00:48:53.800
and I cannot wait for what's to come.

725
00:48:54.680 --> 00:48:55.520
Awesome.

726
00:48:55.520 --> 00:48:56.600
Thank you, Monica.

727
00:48:56.600 --> 00:48:58.200
We love sharing that.

728
00:48:58.200 --> 00:48:59.040
Yes.

729
00:48:59.040 --> 00:49:00.080
That was awesome.

730
00:49:00.080 --> 00:49:00.920
Hey, Walt.

731
00:49:03.800 --> 00:49:05.960
Well, what can I say?

732
00:49:07.160 --> 00:49:10.200
Everybody stole all the thunder.

733
00:49:10.200 --> 00:49:15.200
Really, you guys have taken me out of a cave of isolation.

734
00:49:20.880 --> 00:49:23.400
You've helped me to find a voice

735
00:49:23.400 --> 00:49:25.720
that I thought wasn't going anywhere.

736
00:49:27.320 --> 00:49:30.240
You gave me the opportunity to really,

737
00:49:30.240 --> 00:49:34.920
really to step out into what I call the undiscovered country

738
00:49:34.920 --> 00:49:36.280
and you gave me a quest.

739
00:49:36.680 --> 00:49:40.320
You know, everything that I have done,

740
00:49:40.320 --> 00:49:43.600
even though sometimes I think it's really small,

741
00:49:43.600 --> 00:49:47.280
but when I think of what God has done in me,

742
00:49:47.280 --> 00:49:49.840
you know, you guys have been the foundation.

743
00:49:50.920 --> 00:49:53.080
You know, I kind of see myself sort of like

744
00:49:54.040 --> 00:49:57.080
that movie that Tom Cruise is wearing, that exoskeleton.

745
00:49:57.080 --> 00:50:00.320
You guys have been my exoskeleton to a whole.

746
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:03.440
hold me up, remind me what the word says,

747
00:50:03.440 --> 00:50:08.440
show me my own vision, and then said, go get it.

748
00:50:10.080 --> 00:50:12.480
And that's what has really, really,

749
00:50:12.480 --> 00:50:14.400
really been a blessing for me.

750
00:50:14.400 --> 00:50:19.400
So, I have wondered what today was gonna be like.

751
00:50:20.680 --> 00:50:23.320
I was hoping that it would go further,

752
00:50:23.320 --> 00:50:24.280
but you know what?

753
00:50:24.280 --> 00:50:26.680
When you talked about Thalogram, my heart left.

754
00:50:27.440 --> 00:50:29.560
You know, it literally left.

755
00:50:29.560 --> 00:50:34.560
Because I know that there's gonna,

756
00:50:35.260 --> 00:50:37.160
I feel as though that there's gonna be a time

757
00:50:37.160 --> 00:50:41.400
in which I know that if I was to reach out and say,

758
00:50:41.400 --> 00:50:45.200
hey, I'm drowning here, you guys wouldn't hesitate

759
00:50:45.200 --> 00:50:49.080
to come in and say, here's a hand.

760
00:50:49.080 --> 00:50:51.560
And for that, I am thankful.

761
00:50:51.560 --> 00:50:54.240
I am just, I'm overwhelmed.

762
00:50:54.240 --> 00:50:56.680
I'm trying not to be emotional,

763
00:50:56.680 --> 00:50:58.800
but my kids always say that,

764
00:50:58.800 --> 00:51:00.560
dad would cry at the drop of a hat.

765
00:51:00.560 --> 00:51:01.880
Well, the hat's dropped.

766
00:51:01.880 --> 00:51:06.200
So, you know, look, each and every one of you

767
00:51:06.200 --> 00:51:10.320
have been a part of my life in the last six, longer,

768
00:51:11.520 --> 00:51:14.080
than I, you know, the last couple of years

769
00:51:14.080 --> 00:51:15.960
have been phenomenal for me.

770
00:51:15.960 --> 00:51:19.680
And each and every one of you have been a part of that.

771
00:51:19.680 --> 00:51:22.720
But Lindsey, you know, like I said,

772
00:51:22.720 --> 00:51:25.680
when I first met you, who is this young lady?

773
00:51:25.680 --> 00:51:27.520
Who does she think she is?

774
00:51:27.520 --> 00:51:30.040
But yet, I begin to see that,

775
00:51:30.040 --> 00:51:33.320
that you guys have really won my heart,

776
00:51:33.320 --> 00:51:38.280
humbled me in ways that I've never even considered before.

777
00:51:38.280 --> 00:51:43.280
And in a lot of ways, you two have become like mom and dad,

778
00:51:44.040 --> 00:51:46.080
that I wanna make you proud.

779
00:51:46.080 --> 00:51:48.160
I wanna be able to go out and then to go say,

780
00:51:48.160 --> 00:51:50.280
there he is, there's my boy.

781
00:51:50.400 --> 00:51:52.920
Well, anyway, I'll stop there,

782
00:51:53.800 --> 00:51:54.840
but God bless you guys.

783
00:51:54.840 --> 00:51:57.640
And I'm so thankful to have the opportunity to meet you.

784
00:51:58.520 --> 00:51:59.720
See, I done did it now.

785
00:52:01.560 --> 00:52:03.000
That's extra sweet, Walt.

786
00:52:03.000 --> 00:52:05.720
We actually have a prophetic word over our lives

787
00:52:05.720 --> 00:52:08.240
that we'll be a mother and father to multi-generations,

788
00:52:08.240 --> 00:52:09.640
even generations older than us.

789
00:52:09.640 --> 00:52:11.400
So you just confirmed that word.

790
00:52:11.400 --> 00:52:12.680
So thank you, friend.

791
00:52:13.600 --> 00:52:15.080
Tamara, we've got a few more minutes.

792
00:52:15.080 --> 00:52:15.920
I'd love to hear from you,

793
00:52:15.920 --> 00:52:17.240
cause you've been on team,

794
00:52:17.240 --> 00:52:19.080
but you're also Kingdom Messenger,

795
00:52:19.200 --> 00:52:21.200
you're also Kingdom Messenger.

796
00:52:21.200 --> 00:52:24.640
And so I'd just love to hear what you've been advancing

797
00:52:24.640 --> 00:52:26.360
and what you feel like the Lord's calling you

798
00:52:26.360 --> 00:52:27.280
into this next year.

799
00:52:27.280 --> 00:52:28.680
And then we'll wrap it up.

800
00:52:28.680 --> 00:52:30.440
I think we got through everyone else, yeah.

801
00:52:30.440 --> 00:52:33.200
Yeah, I'll keep it short and sweet.

802
00:52:33.200 --> 00:52:37.920
I'll just say this has been such a purposeful meeting,

803
00:52:37.920 --> 00:52:40.960
like Walt, like who is this Lindsey Van Zandt

804
00:52:40.960 --> 00:52:45.080
and Bruce now, you know, but it's been so purposeful.

805
00:52:45.080 --> 00:52:47.920
And I would echo what so many others have said,

806
00:52:47.920 --> 00:52:50.960
you have called out the gold in me

807
00:52:50.960 --> 00:52:53.920
and won't allow me to shy away

808
00:52:53.920 --> 00:52:56.760
because it's safe for me to just kind of shy

809
00:52:56.760 --> 00:52:58.880
and just kind of hang out in the background.

810
00:52:58.880 --> 00:53:03.280
But you constantly call out the gold in me

811
00:53:03.280 --> 00:53:04.640
and you're right, Lindsey.

812
00:53:04.640 --> 00:53:05.960
Bruce is a man of action.

813
00:53:05.960 --> 00:53:07.960
He's like, okay, you can get this going today.

814
00:53:07.960 --> 00:53:10.720
Like we can get this, you know, community set up

815
00:53:10.720 --> 00:53:13.320
and you know, I'm like, wait, wait, wait, wait, you know.

816
00:53:13.320 --> 00:53:16.560
And I'm always ready to just press the brakes.

817
00:53:16.560 --> 00:53:19.280
But I feel so much like Walter.

818
00:53:19.280 --> 00:53:22.240
I wanna make you guys proud, you know,

819
00:53:22.240 --> 00:53:24.960
and first of all, God, but I just,

820
00:53:24.960 --> 00:53:28.160
I'm so appreciative of the pouring in.

821
00:53:28.160 --> 00:53:31.120
The prophetic calls have just been,

822
00:53:31.120 --> 00:53:34.440
and that's been invaluable alone, you know,

823
00:53:34.440 --> 00:53:38.440
just having that time to just tap into God's heart

824
00:53:38.440 --> 00:53:40.000
and hear what he has to say.

825
00:53:40.000 --> 00:53:43.560
So I have been just tremendously blessed.

826
00:53:43.560 --> 00:53:47.600
And yes, like Monica, I see both behind the scenes

827
00:53:47.600 --> 00:53:50.880
and front scenes and you guys have just been golden

828
00:53:50.880 --> 00:53:55.880
bringing out consistently the gold in me on all fronts,

829
00:53:55.920 --> 00:53:59.560
you know, and just pushing me into the greater like,

830
00:53:59.560 --> 00:54:01.360
no, Tamara, you can do this.

831
00:54:01.360 --> 00:54:03.400
No, Tamara, you're qualified.

832
00:54:03.400 --> 00:54:04.720
Nope, you can do it.

833
00:54:04.720 --> 00:54:06.920
You won't let me back away.

834
00:54:06.920 --> 00:54:08.400
You won't let me shy away.

835
00:54:08.400 --> 00:54:09.840
So thank you.

836
00:54:09.840 --> 00:54:13.200
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Coach Lindsey and Coach Bruce.

837
00:54:14.200 --> 00:54:15.560
Thank you guys.

838
00:54:15.560 --> 00:54:18.960
You honor us so well and so healing to us

839
00:54:18.960 --> 00:54:21.960
in so many ways to be honored by each of you.

840
00:54:21.960 --> 00:54:24.680
We are very proud, seriously so proud.

841
00:54:24.680 --> 00:54:29.040
We brag about you guys by name often, all the time.

842
00:54:29.040 --> 00:54:30.920
Like we have Mary and our group doing this

843
00:54:30.920 --> 00:54:31.840
and Monica's doing this.

844
00:54:31.840 --> 00:54:34.120
She's opened a brick and mortar in this huge mall.

845
00:54:34.120 --> 00:54:37.280
Like it's just all of you guys.

846
00:54:37.280 --> 00:54:39.800
So let's thank the father.

847
00:54:39.800 --> 00:54:41.040
Do you wanna say anything before?

848
00:54:41.040 --> 00:54:41.880
This is great.

849
00:54:41.960 --> 00:54:45.320
I mean, again, I think we really started

850
00:54:45.320 --> 00:54:47.040
a sense of family here as well.

851
00:54:47.040 --> 00:54:49.280
And I think I'm really excited to see like Monica said,

852
00:54:49.280 --> 00:54:51.760
this is really just, it is the beginning.

853
00:54:51.760 --> 00:54:55.080
It's probably gonna look very different, you know, like,

854
00:54:55.080 --> 00:54:58.040
and I think what'll be crazy is when you guys

855
00:54:58.040 --> 00:55:00.160
over this year, next year, as it.

856
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:04.160
gets sharper as, as things get better, you'll be the,

857
00:55:04.160 --> 00:55:06.560
you guys will be the ones like when we started,

858
00:55:06.560 --> 00:55:08.680
there was no, like any of this,

859
00:55:08.680 --> 00:55:11.480
it was just like hopping on zoom calls and like chatting.

860
00:55:11.480 --> 00:55:13.600
And now there's like all this other stuff going.

861
00:55:13.600 --> 00:55:15.200
So like the people in the future are going to have it

862
00:55:15.200 --> 00:55:16.200
the easiest.

863
00:55:16.200 --> 00:55:17.040
And you guys were like,

864
00:55:17.040 --> 00:55:18.360
you guys don't know how easy you had it.

865
00:55:18.360 --> 00:55:20.640
Like when we showed up, it was just Bruce and Lindsay

866
00:55:20.640 --> 00:55:23.360
talking and then we would just do a bunch of zoom calls,

867
00:55:23.360 --> 00:55:26.680
but it's how, it's how these things evolve.

868
00:55:26.680 --> 00:55:31.680
But yeah, we're very honored to, to, to lead you guys,

869
00:55:31.880 --> 00:55:33.880
and just to lead this movement with you guys being,

870
00:55:33.880 --> 00:55:36.440
as we call it, like the pioneering group for a lot of this.

871
00:55:36.440 --> 00:55:38.360
So we're just, yeah.

872
00:55:38.360 --> 00:55:42.600
We, I believe that there's a special blessing on pioneers

873
00:55:42.600 --> 00:55:47.520
because pioneers pay a cost so that others journeys can be,

874
00:55:47.520 --> 00:55:49.920
it's that it's the same anointing that our father carries

875
00:55:49.920 --> 00:55:53.440
to make crooked ways straight and rough places smooth.

876
00:55:53.440 --> 00:55:54.840
That is the spirit of a pioneer.

877
00:55:54.840 --> 00:55:56.560
And that's what each of you have done.

878
00:55:57.400 --> 00:55:59.000
And your own journeys of the Lord before you even met us

879
00:55:59.000 --> 00:56:00.600
and you continue to do.

880
00:56:00.600 --> 00:56:03.560
And so I just like to thank the father and bless you guys

881
00:56:04.720 --> 00:56:06.240
and for the year ahead.

882
00:56:06.240 --> 00:56:08.320
And again, I love what Monica said.

883
00:56:08.320 --> 00:56:10.200
This is not the end.

884
00:56:10.200 --> 00:56:12.920
It's just a new beginning and it's a new season.

885
00:56:12.920 --> 00:56:14.000
It's a fresh season.

886
00:56:14.000 --> 00:56:16.120
And I think it's one where the trail will be a little bit

887
00:56:16.120 --> 00:56:17.760
more blazed for all of us.

888
00:56:17.760 --> 00:56:20.360
And so we won't get as many,

889
00:56:20.360 --> 00:56:22.760
we won't get as many thorns as we go through.

890
00:56:22.760 --> 00:56:27.720
And yeah, so father, we thank you for all that you've done.

891
00:56:27.720 --> 00:56:30.400
We thank you for each and every person on this call.

892
00:56:30.400 --> 00:56:31.840
And those that are part of this community

893
00:56:31.840 --> 00:56:33.040
that couldn't make this call today,

894
00:56:33.040 --> 00:56:34.280
might be watching the replay.

895
00:56:34.280 --> 00:56:37.160
You know them by name, you know their stories

896
00:56:37.160 --> 00:56:40.920
and you brought them to us for a season.

897
00:56:42.120 --> 00:56:43.720
Father, I pray that we've honored you.

898
00:56:43.720 --> 00:56:47.280
I ask, I ask that as they go,

899
00:56:47.280 --> 00:56:50.040
as we give them back to you, Lord,

900
00:56:50.040 --> 00:56:52.400
we know that you will watch over them.

901
00:56:52.400 --> 00:56:54.800
You'll watch over your word over them

902
00:56:54.800 --> 00:56:56.720
to perform it in their lives.

903
00:56:56.720 --> 00:56:59.440
So I don't even really feel like I have to make an ask father.

904
00:56:59.440 --> 00:57:03.080
It's really just, it's just a Thanksgiving

905
00:57:03.080 --> 00:57:05.200
because I know that you,

906
00:57:05.200 --> 00:57:08.520
I'm so confident in your ability

907
00:57:08.520 --> 00:57:12.120
to do what you said you will do in their lives.

908
00:57:12.120 --> 00:57:15.280
It's really just a Thanksgiving for all that's to come,

909
00:57:15.280 --> 00:57:18.480
all that you've done and all that's to come.

910
00:57:18.520 --> 00:57:22.200
I pray Lord for a special protection

911
00:57:22.200 --> 00:57:23.840
over each and every one of them

912
00:57:23.840 --> 00:57:28.040
as they continue to plow the fields that you've given them,

913
00:57:28.040 --> 00:57:31.720
plant new seed, harvest what the seed has grown.

914
00:57:31.720 --> 00:57:33.760
I pray protection over their minds,

915
00:57:33.760 --> 00:57:35.960
for protection over their hearts, Lord.

916
00:57:35.960 --> 00:57:39.480
I pray Lord that there will be a fresh energy in them

917
00:57:39.480 --> 00:57:42.760
as they continue to walk out and all you've called them to do.

918
00:57:42.760 --> 00:57:44.720
I pray that you would bring people around them

919
00:57:44.720 --> 00:57:47.200
that would minister to them,

920
00:57:47.200 --> 00:57:50.680
that would be an ironing, sharpening iron to them

921
00:57:50.680 --> 00:57:54.560
in their local context, not just their online context, Lord.

922
00:57:54.560 --> 00:57:58.040
I rebuke any isolation.

923
00:57:58.040 --> 00:58:03.040
I rebuke any temptation to feel the responsibility

924
00:58:03.520 --> 00:58:05.920
that father you actually want to carry,

925
00:58:05.920 --> 00:58:08.560
the responsibility for growth and success,

926
00:58:08.560 --> 00:58:10.600
the responsibility for the needs of others

927
00:58:10.600 --> 00:58:12.280
that they're gonna be pouring into.

928
00:58:12.280 --> 00:58:15.960
I pray that there would just be no unnecessary feelings

929
00:58:15.960 --> 00:58:17.760
or obligations of responsibility

930
00:58:17.760 --> 00:58:19.880
that you've never meant them to carry.

931
00:58:19.880 --> 00:58:23.360
I pray Lord that as they follow you, Holy Spirit,

932
00:58:23.360 --> 00:58:24.920
I thank you that you will continue to lead them

933
00:58:24.920 --> 00:58:26.600
and guide them in all truth.

934
00:58:26.600 --> 00:58:31.600
I pray for a deeper sensitivity to your voice,

935
00:58:32.600 --> 00:58:34.800
that the voice of another they won't even hear,

936
00:58:34.800 --> 00:58:37.280
but they'll hear your voice and they'll follow you.

937
00:58:37.280 --> 00:58:39.480
I thank you Lord that you are the provision

938
00:58:39.480 --> 00:58:41.120
you've given them yourself.

939
00:58:41.120 --> 00:58:44.120
And I thank you that you do provide provisions.

940
00:58:44.120 --> 00:58:48.120
I pray for resource, Lord, in people and in team

941
00:58:48.120 --> 00:58:49.720
for those that want interns,

942
00:58:49.720 --> 00:58:51.320
for those that want extra help.

943
00:58:51.320 --> 00:58:54.000
Lord, I pray for financial provision to grow,

944
00:58:54.000 --> 00:58:56.960
whether it's in their gear or their platforms

945
00:58:56.960 --> 00:58:59.160
or something that maybe they don't even know

946
00:58:59.160 --> 00:59:00.680
is a seed that you planted in their heart

947
00:59:00.680 --> 00:59:02.560
for the vision that's gonna unfold this year.

948
00:59:02.560 --> 00:59:04.960
I thank you that you've already made the provision.

949
00:59:04.960 --> 00:59:06.160
You've already gone before them.

950
00:59:06.160 --> 00:59:07.560
You've already made the way.

951
00:59:07.560 --> 00:59:10.440
And I pray that there would just be no resistance

952
00:59:10.440 --> 00:59:11.320
to the provision.

953
00:59:11.320 --> 00:59:16.160
I pray that there would be, I just rebuke the devourer.

954
00:59:16.160 --> 00:59:18.600
I rebuke any plan of the enemy.

955
00:59:18.600 --> 00:59:21.800
It has no place, it has no foothold in their lives.

956
00:59:21.800 --> 00:59:25.480
And Lord, I thank you that this year, 2023,

957
00:59:25.480 --> 00:59:28.200
would be a year of advancement.

958
00:59:28.200 --> 00:59:30.680
That is your word over this community,

959
00:59:30.680 --> 00:59:31.760
over each one of their lives.

960
00:59:31.760 --> 00:59:34.920
And we say yes and amen to that.

961
00:59:34.920 --> 00:59:38.920
And Lord, as always, we give you all the permission

962
00:59:38.960 --> 00:59:43.440
and the space to do what only you can do

963
00:59:43.440 --> 00:59:44.840
as Ephesians 3 lays out,

964
00:59:44.840 --> 00:59:47.280
and that is to just do above and beyond

965
00:59:47.280 --> 00:59:50.160
all that we could hope, think, ask, or imagine.

966
00:59:50.160 --> 00:59:55.160
We thank you that you have given us pieces of the picture,

967
00:59:55.560 --> 00:59:59.000
but we give you full permission to blow us out of the water.

968
00:59:59.000 --> 01:00:00.040
So as we...

969
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:04.200
step out with what we know to do.

970
01:00:04.200 --> 01:00:08.680
I thank you Lord that you can expand the plan at any point.

971
01:00:08.680 --> 01:00:09.800
We give you permission to do that.

972
01:00:09.800 --> 01:00:11.280
You can expand the plan.

973
01:00:11.280 --> 01:00:12.940
You can expand us.

974
01:00:12.940 --> 01:00:17.720
We are willing vessels and we are fully partnering

975
01:00:17.720 --> 01:00:20.120
with what it is that you would like us to do.

976
01:00:20.120 --> 01:00:22.920
We thank you that we are not tools that you wanna use.

977
01:00:22.920 --> 01:00:25.640
We're not slaves, we're not servants, but we're sons.

978
01:00:25.640 --> 01:00:28.080
We have the full authority of the beloved son

979
01:00:28.120 --> 01:00:32.720
and we're walking in the fullness of him here and now.

980
01:00:32.720 --> 01:00:33.920
And we thank all these things.

981
01:00:33.920 --> 01:00:35.720
We pray all these things with the authority

982
01:00:35.720 --> 01:00:37.880
that Jesus Christ, beloved son gave us.

983
01:00:37.880 --> 01:00:39.040
And we say, amen.

984
01:00:39.040 --> 01:00:39.880
Amen.

985
01:00:39.880 --> 01:00:40.700
And amen.

986
01:00:40.700 --> 01:00:41.540
Awesome guys.

987
01:00:41.540 --> 01:00:42.360
All right.

988
01:00:42.360 --> 01:00:43.200
Very cool.

989
01:00:43.200 --> 01:00:45.120

996
01:00:57.520 --> 01:00:59.160

997
01:00:59.160 --> 01:01:01.360
hey, I'm curious what you guys are gonna be doing

998
01:01:01.360 --> 01:01:02.360
or if there's something on the horizon,

999
01:01:02.360 --> 01:01:03.840
like we love to answer those questions too.

1000
01:01:03.840 --> 01:01:05.120
There's nothing secretive.

1001
01:01:05.120 --> 01:01:07.880
Like we're not trying to do any big, like, aha,

1002
01:01:07.880 --> 01:01:09.920
we're just following what we have with the Lord.

1003
01:01:09.920 --> 01:01:12.200
And we consider you guys are our partners

1004
01:01:12.200 --> 01:01:13.040
and pioneers in this.

1005
01:01:13.040 --> 01:01:14.760
So as much as you wanna know,

1006
01:01:14.760 --> 01:01:17.240
and if we know anything extra, we'll let you guys know,

1007
01:01:17.240 --> 01:01:19.200
but we want you guys to be kind of on the forefront

1008
01:01:19.200 --> 01:01:21.600
of what this movement is doing.

1009
01:01:21.600 --> 01:01:23.400
And we consider you guys part of it.

1010
01:01:23.400 --> 01:01:26.820
You will receive the heart part of the harvest in this

1011
01:01:26.820 --> 01:01:28.060
because you've planted with us.

1012
01:01:28.060 --> 01:01:29.260
So, yeah.

1013
01:01:29.260 --> 01:01:30.220
Amen.

1014
01:01:30.220 --> 01:01:31.060
All right.

1015
01:01:31.060 --> 01:01:31.880
We love you guys.
