you
Welcome
So good to see everyone I can see your faces I see a lot of
Familiar faces from our community. Hey, Denise. Hey, Marion. Hey, Susie. I've also got Angela
I've got people watching on YouTube. We have people watching
Group, I see Sarah Holmes is on YouTube
M Brizzy, we've got Graham least
Delphine Kirkland, it's gonna do something. There's a lot of people in here. We've got
Scroll through we got Katie Kregel. I don't know why I'm trying to read everybody's name probably gonna mess someone up
At least just stick with first names. That's a little bit easier
We have an unusual last name
So my my rule of thumb is stick with the first name if you can but welcome everyone and whether you're watching on Facebook
YouTube or in our zoom room. We are so excited. We are pioneering yet again
It's what we're doing and we are going to be spending the next five days together. We're so excited
It's been a hot second since we've done a five-day challenge, but I'm excited about the pace in which we're gonna be going together
We're gonna be doing a lot. We're gonna be activating a lot and the
expectation the goal is
That we're not just gonna be launching on tik-tok
But we're gonna be getting you guys each and every one of you your first thousand views on
Tik-tok, which is pretty exciting because if you do the math, which I'm not gonna attempt to do right now live in my head
But that's really exciting
reaching a lot of people.
Bruce and I, we are passionate about leveraging
the digital landscape to disciple nations.
And what drives us is this vision
to equip thousands to reach millions.
We thought, you know what, we as content creators online,
we can work really hard and strive
to reach millions ourselves.
It's possible, people are doing it, it's awesome.
But what about, instead of doing that type of math,
we multiply ourselves.
And we as a collective of kingdom messengers
are out there on the digital landscape
reaching millions together.
Amen, that's awesome.
And guys, drop, just let us know
where you're tuning in from.
We'd love to see that, it's just so much fun.
Let us know where you're tuning in from
because we have people from all over the world.
Yeah, and so this is exciting.
We're doing something a little different.
So if you've done any of our other challenges
the last year, it's a little different.
We actually are broadcasting
to three totally separate places right now.
So we are on YouTube.
If you're watching on YouTube,
let us know in the comments.
If you're watching on Facebook,
there's a private Facebook group,
which is our kingdom messenger community.
There's about 1400 people in that community.
And then we have our Zoom call
where we've got our members
and people from kingdom messenger TV subscribers.
So we're attempting it, it's something new.
We're excited to have you guys tuning in
from wherever you are.
We've got, I think 61 countries represented here,
which is fantastic.
You know, we promote and get ads out
and it just goes worldwide.
So it's exciting to see who shows up.
So we have just, I know that it's exciting
to know like who's kind of all joining us
and we're all the body of Christ
and we're unifying on this mission together
in the next five days.
How many people total did we have registered
like across our?
Right, so we had like almost 2000 people
register for this challenge
and opt in to watch.
And I think we've got 600 people
on our Zoom room space
that could be showing up here
and about 600 in the Facebook group
that could be showing up.
So it's a lot of people.
Yeah, so it's gonna be big.
But we want you guys to get a sense of
you're not alone in this.
You're not alone in this.
We are in this together
and we have been praying for you.
Our team and I, us and our team
have been praying for you guys
even before you showed up,
even before, if you saw an ad,
before the ads popped up in your feeds.
And our prayer and our heartbeat
was Lord, prepare the soil.
We are good soil.
Prepare the soil for the seed of your word
and your vision and your dreams
to be planted in these next five days.
And so we have an expectation beyond
what we feel like we can equip you to do
because we know that we are partnering
with our helper, the Holy Spirit
to lead us and guide us
and lead you and guide you
in the agenda that he has for you
in these next five days,
which is pretty exciting.
So we're gonna go through
a couple of quick announcements.
We're gonna pray.
We're gonna get started.
We have a packed day one session
for you guys today
and we're super excited.
So let me jump in
and we're gonna do some quick announcements.
So first off, if you have not
signed up for our text message alerts,
just go, all you have to do is text
TikTok to 404-383-4709.
And this unfortunately is US and Canada.
Sorry, all of our international people
texting outside of the US and Canada
is insanely complicated.
So this is just for our US group.
If you have not signed up,
just make sure that you've registered.
So if you are jumped on a YouTube,
maybe you're watching somewhere
or someone shared this with you,
just go to 1kviewchallenge.com.
It's a free registration
with your email address
and that just makes sure
that you get the email notifications
every time the session is live.
So, yeah.
And it also, that lets you,
let us, you be in our list
so we can give you prizes,
which is my next announcement.
We're gonna do some daily prizes.
So as well, one of our biggest things as well,
just check your spam and junk folders.
It's probably our number one support things.
Just if you can't find something from us,
it's probably in spam or junk.
If you have any questions whatsoever,
you can email help at kmwsupport.com
for admin questions.
If you have content questions,
that's where you're gonna just drop those
in the comments.
If you're watching on YouTube,
you're just gonna comment on the video
and we will get back to that.
We get those comments
and we'll have someone monitoring that.
And if you're on YouTube,
you can just comment
or you can post into the Facebook group
and just tag us
and we'll get your questions answers
from a content or strategy or technical,
anything related to TikTok.
Yeah.
If it's something about admin,
you can shoot it to help at kmwsupport
and any email you ever get from us,
you can just hit reply
and you can just write something to us
and it comes straight to our team.
If you are in,
if you're on YouTube
and you're like,
oh, the Facebook group sounds really awesome.
You can also go to that 1kviewchallenge.com
and you can upgrade to join
that private Facebook group.
And that is something
It's a lifetime membership to the private Facebook group.
So every challenge we do in the future, you'll have access to.
And, um, that does, uh, there's a price to that.
So it's $37.
And the really cool thing is we're giving away all $37, um, to
a ministry called God behind bars.
And God behind bars is, uh, helping inmates throughout the U S.
Um, I think they have 130, 140,000 inmates that they have streaming
sermons and, uh, worship services and all kinds of stuff into prisons.
So they are actually taking kingdom content and they are sharing it and
leveraging the digital landscape to help get the gospel where it
may not otherwise be, uh, be sent.
So we're really excited to, and to date, like right before this challenge,
we've, we've actually raised, um, about $4,200 for them.
So I'm going to do the math cause it actually changed.
So that's, um, yeah, so it's about 120, 130.
Uh, I did the math wrong.
18, 233, 233 inmates for the next year are going to have content streamed to them.
So I, I think we may potentially double that before we're done with this.
We're going to keep letting people in.
Um, if that's something you're interested in, or you just want to help
donate to that, you can go to that one KV challenge.com, put your email in
and it'll have an option to update.
It's a win-win you guys get to be part of an awesome community.
Um, and we get to bless a ministry.
So kind of make it really easy.
Um, okay.
Let's talk about some daily prizes.
We can come back if you want.
I feel very lonely.
I was just like, um, every single day, we're going to be giving away
prizes, um, to all of the groups.
If you're on YouTube, if you're on Facebook, if you're on zoom,
entered for a chance to win, you don't have to do anything extra.
You've entered for that chance.
Our team's going to be pulling names, um, at random.
And we, this is just something fun we like to do to resource
you guys with some extra gear.
Um, we're giving away if you can.
Yeah, we're going to be giving away.
We're going to be giving away, um, Amazon gift cards.
There's always something you need to buy on Amazon, whether it's
a cable or a mic or whatever.
Um, we're giving away light kits.
Um, so while we're talking about Tik TOK, um, there's also so much, as far
as your kingdom channel, getting on other places as well, and so like
lighting and mics, um, probably the most helpful we're gonna give away
a camera membership and we're going to be giving away an iPad, um, later this week.
So that's gonna be awesome.
All awesome stuff.
That's going to help resource you out.
There's, you know, we wanted to pick gifts.
That's actually going to help you resource you for your, your kingdom channel.
Can I say something?
Cause we have a lot of new people joining us.
So if you've not been with us before, know that we're going to be spending
the next five days, helping you leverage the tech that you already have in your
hand, if you've got a smartphone, you've got what it takes, but this type, you
don't need the fancy lighting or the fancy mic in order to be on Tik TOK and
be successful, this is just to upgrade the experience for you as a, as a content
creator, as a kingdom messenger.
So don't feel like, Oh my gosh, I have to go like invest in all of this stuff.
You can, hopefully you'll get to that place, but you have our, you already
have the tech that it takes and we're going to help you leverage that.
That's awesome.
So good.
Um, okay.
So just for fun, let's go ahead and do some Amazon gift cards.
So I forget some names before we do that.
We're gonna introduce our team.
Give me a second to bring our team on here.
Just one, I have to do a couple little things.
Hang on one second.
So I'm going to add, we have Tamera who's joining us here and I'm
just going to switch this over.
Um, and we have, uh, let's see.
Let's find her in the room.
There's quite a few things going on and then I got to just find Monica there.
Okay.
Um, and I can't add you right now.
What is it?
Can we not have three people?
No, we can't.
Um, I don't, okay.
I don't know why that's not working, but there's Tamera who's going to be
first and then we'll show, and, uh, and then, um, Tamera is our community
manager, community manager.
She's me and Facebook.
You're going to see her around.
She should be in the support email.
Um, so be nice to her.
Uh, we're going to take, um, and, uh, and then we've got a powerful kingdom
messenger herself and we've got, uh, Monica for his Barrett that's on our
team and she is helping coach.
She's doing a lot of technical training and you'll see her in YouTube comments.
You're going to see her in the Facebook group.
So tag her.
If you, you know, see stuff, you got a question.
Um, Lindsay and I are also going to be in those different comments and chat,
but, um, the, this team just helping us and all experts, our team, they're
doing what you guys want to do.
They each have their own kingdom channel, each ministering to their own group.
They're getting content out on a regular basis.
So we're all in this together.
Like none of us are teaching theory.
It's all from experience.
So awesome.
So, uh, awesome.
Let me just get back to this.
Okay, cool.
So I think we're, um, good.
Let me just say, oh yeah, prizes.
We're going to do, uh, Tamara, if you want to just drop quickly a name there

Absolutely, and yeah let me just check real quick did we hit all the answers we gave away prizes, I just want to show them we're going to jump right into and we're going to have you pray just to start us off.
yeah cool let's go okay let's pray so father, we are we come with hearts of deep gratitude we're so thankful that first of all we're here.
On earth for such a time as this that you have entrusted us with the world right now in this moment in history with the tools and technology that's available to advance your kingdom.
bring people into eternal life and relationship with you, thank you so much, Jesus Holy Spirit, we are so excited to be partnering with you over these next five days getting kingdom messengers on tick tock.
i've just pray that you would just prepare us right now open us up to all that you have in store for us, let us see clearly, let us hear clearly.
Let us not let self doubt underestimate your ability to get through to us in these next five days to empower us and equip us and do what you do best, which is empower us with your love and grace, so.
I thank you for this time we set it aside, we call this holy ground it's set aside to you and we are so excited to partner with you and we pray all of these things by the authority and power that Jesus has given us through his finished work amen.
amen this is exciting guys, we are so excited about this this challenge it's said, is the first time we've ever done a tick tock challenge.
And we just feel so much that tick tock is for now, and so we wanted to spend just the first few minutes here and just talk about why tick tock.
And why now so Lindsay and I are going to share for 10 minutes or so and we're going to break these into lots of short sessions, so you can kind of get a lot of kind of three mini sessions, every time we do a day.
So why tick tock why now tick tock is when Lindsay launched posture she has a podcast that she did started in February of 2020 tick tock was her fastest growing channel.
Well, first I was extremely skeptical it wasn't.
And today, like launched in 2020 right now she has about 23,000 followers 376 likes and the goal for this week is to get 1000 views in five days.
we're getting 1000 views every five hours on tick tock that's just how many people are are on this platform there's over like 1.2 billion active users.
Every single month that are showing up on tick tock and it's not just gen Z if you're like Oh, this is just the next generation it's everybody so and then there's there's more traffic to tick tock than to Google.
In the last year that I think blew my mind so we're we're seeing a shift in the digital landscape as far as where people are spending their time and how they're spending their time and where they're going to find answers to their questions and solutions to their problems.
Absolutely, and so this is just one of those platforms, where it kind of took off, it was one of the fastest growing social networks.
platforms out there, and this is free, this is a technology that we can all leverage 100% for free and there's no reason we shouldn't be using that to help share the good news of the gospel.
yeah a question that we get often is is tick tock safe, what about security, those are those are not those are those are good questions are not silly questions.
But the way that we we we put it is the digital landscape is a mission field it's not the only mission field not everyone is called a lot of people, though, have their boots on the ground in this mission field.
More as consumers than creators, but we see the digital landscape as a mission field it's something that we want to leverage to disciple nations.
And so, some people are called to volatile neighborhoods some people are called to unsafe places and regions and countries, we feel like we're called here, so is it safe, we can't answer that.
It's not necessarily safe, secure, meaning like, you know, privacy and stuff like that.
But this is where you need to lean into the Holy spirit and say, is this for me?
And is this for now we have pioneers and we have explorers here.
And so what we don't want to do is pressure anyone into a field.
They actually don't feel called to, we are very passionate about it.
And that is going to come across in the next five days.
So if you're new here, that's going to come across, but this is not about
doing anything out of pressure.
It's about being led forth in peace.
And so Bruce and I, we have peace to be on this digital landscape and to be within
these different social platforms, because we know we're empowered and equipped to be
here.
And so, and there's a lot of other kingdom messengers in our group that are feeling
the same way.
So I know that question is going to come up and that's what we're going to say.
We're not going to pretend like, oh yeah, I know it's safe.
And the things that you heard and like servers and stuff like that, you have to
make a decision.
This is not our decision to make for you.
You have to make a decision.
Like, is this for me?
Is this for now?
And the reality is many of us are already dipping our toes in the landscape.
We're just not thinking of it as a mission field.
And that's what we want to equip you guys to do this in these next five days.
Absolutely.
So this is a amazing tool that we can leverage.
And the reason we're even doing this, this challenge is because we see so much
potential here for each of you guys to launch your content, get it out there.
And why not take back what has, what the world is already using, you know, for
entertainment and other things.
Let's take that back as kingdom messengers and actually use these tools.
We don't even have to build the platform.
We don't have to build the technology.
We just have to show up and for free, create content, bring heaven to earth in
short little videos.
And it gives us a chance to just share this good news of the gospel on the
platform that we didn't even have to build.
So that's why we're so passionate about it.
So we will, we hope that over the next few days, like we, you guys are like all
in on this platform, right?
And I want to say as well, if you have other platforms going, if you have
YouTube, if you have a podcast, if you have other things, this is just something
you can do.
In addition to that, if you have been thinking about starting a YouTube
channel, a podcast, and, and it's getting on Facebook this is a great place to
start and just focus on one thing.
So one thing we tell our members and our membership is, is just focus on a single
platform at a time and build that.
It's very difficult to do like five things well, all at the same time.
And definitely it's not good if you're feeling overwhelmed.
So do it at your own pace, do it for the time and the season of whatever
your season you're in.
And that, that should dictate kind of your,
So we're not going to give any more disclaimers.
We trust the spirit in you to lead you and guide you in all truth.
But we, these are questions that we get even some criticisms we get, like, how
dare you like try to convince people to get on TikTok, but here's the deal guys.
I want kingdom messengers in every country and every region.
And I want kingdom messengers in every space and corner of the digital
landscape, taking territory for the kingdom, because this is where the
people are and we are called to bring people out of the kingdom of darkness
and into the kingdom of light.
And so, yeah, we're very excited about that.
So let's jump in.
So, and I wanted to also mention as well, like part of like what we're going to
be showing on this next five days is the step-by-step guide.
So if you haven't registered your account, if you haven't done anything,
You're not behind.
No.
You're starting.
We're all starting kind of from, from zero and we're going to be showing you
everything from like starting your account to writing episodes and show
you how to record the episode.
We're going to show you how to post the episode in a way that people
can actually find your content.
There's certain hacks when you're posting it, that will actually
help more people find you quickly.
And it is very, very doable to do what we're talking about, to get a thousand
people to watch your content over the next five days, this is to get your
thousand views by Monday, by the way.
It's not like over the next month, right?
Like this, we're trying to get you to get that in the next
five days during this challenge.
So we're also going to be having one of our, our friends and partners, Isaac
Holt, who is the one who has been pushing Lindsay to be on TikTok in the
first place, cause we were just Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube for a long time.
We did join TikTok, I think it was in June of 2020.
So I started in February and I did all the other platforms and I was like,
I'm not doing TikTok, I'm not doing TikTok.
And Isaac Holt, who is a TikTok expert, runs different TikTok channels said,
Lindsay, like you told me you're called to go and reach people where they
spend a lot of their time on their screens.
And there's a lot of people in TikTok, like you have to get on TikTok.
So he has, he has been the fuel to the fire, if you will.
And I'm so grateful for that.
And we even spent a lot of time, he's a good friend of ours.
And the more he speaks about TikTok, the less I feel I know about TikTok.
I know quite a bit, but he is just an expert at knowing the hashtags,
finding the trends.
So he will be here on Friday, on Friday with us for the whole session.
He's going to be diving into all of his tips and tricks.
He's, he's gone through guys and like, we've put templates together for you.
So you can just pull up a script and little ideas that are so, so, so easy to.
copy, hashtags you can use, music that you can use.
He's already picked the things that are trending,
like the worship songs that are trending
on TikTok right now, so you can add that
and it'll immediately bring followers
for you guys to start following.
It's like a hashtag, if you will.
You're new to TikTok.
We're gonna get into all of it.
We'll get on all that, yeah.
But we just want to encourage you guys.
We're starting from zero, end to set your expectations.
We are not planning for you guys to shoot one video.
In other challenges, it was like a big deal.
You're gonna write, you're gonna do one episode out.
We're hoping that you do a minimum of three videos
in the next five days.
And it's totally doable.
Very doable.
Yeah.
And I think that anyone in this entire challenge
could do all three videos in 20 minutes.
I think so too.
Without much effort.
Writing, recording, and posting in 20 to 30 minutes.
It is already in you.
The message is already in you.
And what we want to do is help get that message out
and accelerate what may have been accumulating
over the last months, years, lifetime.
Awesome.
So that is why TikTok, that is why now.
We're gonna move over to our second part of this talk
and we're gonna let Lindsey share a little bit about her,
about how to niche down on your specific audience.
So I'm gonna hand it over to you.
So what you guys are gonna be experiencing a little bit
each day with us is content strategy and the tech.
They partner together.
And so we're gonna be doing,
we're not gonna do just one day all tech,
one day all content strategy.
We're gonna pace it in a way
that we feel is very digestible,
no matter where you are in your journey
and where you are in your knowledge of things.
And so I'll be sharing a lot of the content strategy.
Isaac will be as well.
And then Bruce will be handling a lot of the tech.
So that's what you can be expecting
each time that we meet and get together.
But first I wanna talk about mindset.
I want us to start off these next five days
with taking on a new mind about a few things
and renewing our mind in the truth.
Like I said, the digital landscape
is a mission field like no other.
And we all have different experiences
in this land of social media.
Some good and some not so good.
Like some of you guys have even shared like,
hey, I've been traumatized by TikTok in the past
or social media, or I don't feel like I'm very relevant.
I feel like I might be too old.
I don't know if what I have to share is meaningful
or my engagement with people in the past
has not been great on social media.
So we're all coming with different experiences
of what things have been like on this landscape.
And no matter if it's been good or bad,
we wanna move forward fueled by the spirit in us
and by hope for our future on the digital landscape.
So that's why I wanna start this challenge
by taking on a new mind about why we're here,
what we're here for and who we are here with.
So that's what we're gonna do
and like breathe in just a second.
Like I know we're throwing a lot of information at you,
like let's just pause,
because the expectation right now
is that we're going to focus on the truth
and we are going to align ourselves with what is true,
no matter what has been the facts of our past experience.
So we have a mix of people participating in this challenge,
not from just our experiences on social media,
but our experiences in life.
And one of the most beautiful things
about our Kingdom Messenger community is our diversity.
The vastness, the majesty of God
is so well represented here in our diversity,
where we're coming from, our backgrounds,
our geographical locations, our life experiences,
the generation that we are coming and representing.
It's a beautiful thing.
And it's not something that I wanna just glaze over
and be like, oh, it's so cool.
Like we've got people from all different places.
Like we are diverse and it's intentional
and it's meaningful because it is so well represented
of who God is, His vastness and His majesty.
Now, some of you may have tried to launch things before,
whether online or offline,
and like maybe it didn't go anywhere.
So maybe you're coming and you're a little bit skeptical,
you're a bit weary, maybe you're carrying some self-doubt
about like, is this in me?
Am I able to do this?
Some of you might be coming
and you're in a season of transition right now.
Like everything seems to be new and changing.
And this is just one more thing
that you're feeling prompted to pioneer or explore
in this season of newness.
And maybe some of you are here and you're well established.
You are here and you're just eager to build upon
the ministry and the place in life
that you already are doing, where you already are.
Different experiences, different expectations.
And that's okay.
There is space for everyone in this challenge.
But I wanna take a moment and talk about expectation
because here's a kingdom truth.
There's power in unity.
The unified body of Christ is unstoppable.
So what can we unify in right now?
How can we put this unity into practice?
Well, obviously we can do it with the goal that we all have here.
Hey, we're challenging ourselves to launch on TikTok and get a thousand views.
Awesome.
But I want us to go a level deeper and I want us to just right now practice
unity by uniting in one shared expectation.
I want us all to have an expectation over these next five days, starting now.
An expectation of God's abundant goodness towards us and God's affection for us.
Because he's not our boss.
He's our dad.
He's not just a good father.
He's a perfect father.
And he is eager to partner with us in taking new territory for the kingdom,
bringing heaven, displaying heaven here on earth.
He's not just with us in the journey.
He's in us and we are in him in this journey.
So leveraging the digital landscape to disciple nations, launching on TikTok in
these next five days, it's not a test that he's grading us on.
It's an invitation to realize a dream of his heart together.
Let, let that be our expectation.
Being a kingdom messenger, it's not a job title.
It's not another ministry role.
It is an expression of who you already are in Christ.
So in Luke four, Jesus stands up in the synagogue and he reads out loud what
Isaiah prophesied about him in Isaiah 61.
Jesus stands up and he reads from the scroll.
He says, the spirit of the Lord is on me because he has anointed me to
proclaim the good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for
the blind and to set the oppressed free and to proclaim the year of the Lord's
favor.
And, and, and then he says, uh, this is important in verse 21.
He says today, scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.
Me here on earth is fulfilling this prophecy.
And first John four 17 says, as Jesus is, so are we in this world.
So if it's true about Jesus, it's true about you being a kingdom messenger,
proclaiming the truth, proclaiming freedom is who you are.
So we're, there's going to be a lot of practical stuff.
We teach, like I talked about, we're going to be doing content strategy.
We're going to be doing tech strategy and support.
We're going to be implementing a ton of different things.
It's all intentional.
Every session, every activation exercise, it's meant to move you forward.
So you don't just get motivated by hearing about all the cool things about
TikTok, but you actually get activated.
We're not here to just inform you.
We're here to launch you.
We're going to launch you on TikTok and we're going to get those first thousand
views.
So it's going to be practical.
It's going to be hands-on, but some of the things that we share may not be
considered practical in a traditional sense, but it is very intentional.
There's no fluff.
There's no filler.
There's no busy work in this challenge.
Sometimes the most practical thing we can do in order to move forward and into
change is to change our minds about something to take on a new mindset.
In John 8, 32, Jesus said, you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.
So right now let's set ourselves free.
Let's let the truth of who we are in Christ, who he is in us.
Let it set us free from any discouragement, any disappointment, any doubt, any
distraction, because this challenge, we've done this a few times, okay?
This challenge is not about perfection or performance, okay?
It's not about passing a test.
It's not about making God proud or letting him down.
This is all about practice, process, and progress as we partner with him.
My mentor, Graham Cooks, by the way, if you're new, I'm a fan of mentorship.
I've done life without mentors.
I've done life with mentors.
I'm a fan of life with mentors because it's an accelerated life.
So you're going to hear me mention a few of my mentors during this session.
Know that I'm standing on their shoulders, okay?
My mentor, Graham Cooks says, practice makes permanent.
So we're going to be putting a lot into practice this week.
Not just the things we put our hands to, but the things that we put our minds to.
We're pioneers.
We're taking tech territory.
for the kingdom. We're pulling people out of the kingdom of darkness and into the
kingdom of light, and we are well able to take this land because we are convinced,
just like Joshua and Caleb were, of God's goodness towards us and his affection
for us. So let this be our shared expectation. We are living in the victory
Jesus won, so we can't lose. Amen? So during this challenge, we're going to be
doing some technical, some content strategy. Now let me tell you this, we've
paced this in such a way that there is some room to breathe each day, okay? So we
want to not just be talking at you the whole time, but we want to give you time
to create, time to problem-solve, time to connect with God, connect with each other.
So all that to say, because everyone's a little bit different on as far as where
you are on this journey, but depending on where you are on this journey, some
days may seem a little slow, and some days may seem a little fast. If they seem
slow, take the extra time to lean in with the Lord, lean in with each other, and
hone and sharpen. If some days seem very fast, take advantage of the replays of
these sessions. Watch again. If there's something you didn't understand, you can
always rewind and go back after the live session, but we want to encourage you to
stay with us, lean in each day, attend the sessions live if you can, or watch the
replay each day if you're not able to be live, because it's super intentional
about, we've been intentional about how we structure this based on real-life
experience as content creators and kingdom messengers online, and based on
what we've learned in the last year of leading other kingdom messengers. So
let's talk about some content strategy. Some of this might be not new to you
guys, might be repetitive, especially if you've been in our community for a while,
but it's important we're talking about your audience, because TikTok is a vast
mission field. We've already talked about it, 1.2 billion active users every month.
I don't know if I can even allow that number to sink in into my head and heart
of how many people that is active, not just, oh there's been 1.2 billion people
who have created an account, and maybe they show up and maybe they don't. These
are active users, so there's even more accounts than that on TikTok, and there's
so many people to reach that it can feel overwhelming. And often we're
overwhelmed because we're confused. Confusion creates overwhelm. We just
don't know, and therefore we feel paralyzed or stuck. So we want to spend
today in getting some clarity, starting to get some clarity, because
clarity disempowers overwhelm, because it kills confusion. So before we get on to
TikTok and get our accounts, which we're going to be doing the second part of this
session, before we start creating content, making videos, we want to get very clear
on two things. One of those things we're going to talk about today, and then the
other we're going to talk about tomorrow. But what I want to talk about today is
getting clarity on your audience. Who are you actually called to reach? Because
you're not called to reach every single person on TikTok. You're not called to
reach the 1.2 billion active users. In fact, the largest account on TikTok right
now, I think, is 140 million followers. That's the largest. So no one on TikTok, no
one person on TikTok is reaching every person on TikTok. No one person on earth,
offline, is reaching every single person in the world. This was something that one
of my other mentors, Pedro Odeo, pointed out to me two years ago, and it brought
me so much clarity when I first launched online. Because he said, you're not called
to reach the whole world. You are called to reach your world. If one single person
was called to reach the whole world, there would be no need for the rest of us.
Like, we could all go take vacation, that person could just spend their lives
reaching the whole world. No, we're in this together, okay? We are called to
reach our own world. You're called to reach your world. I'm called to reach my
world. And when all of us are reaching our worlds, the whole world will be
reached. This is why I'm so passionate about getting more than just me on TikTok.
Because there's other worlds that you guys represent that you can reach that I
can't reach on TikTok. So the question I want us to get clear on is, who are we
called to reach? Who is your who? Who is it that you are called to reach? Now,
some of you may know immediately, you're already reaching them in other ways. Some
of you feel like you're called to reach the next generation. Some of you feel
like you're called to reach young moms, help build them up, encourage them,
resource them. Some of you feel like you're called to reach empty nesters.
Some of you feel called to reach people who are maybe from a more traditional
religious background and don't know much about having a relationship with Jesus.
Some of you feel like you're called to pre-Christians, people don't know Jesus
yet, you want to introduce them to Jesus. Some of you, like me in this season, are
feeling called to reach people who already know
Jesus, but you feel called to help embolden them in their revelation of their identity in Christ
and help them grow, apply that revelation in their everyday lives. But if you don't know who your who
is, here's some questions to start asking yourself today to help guide you in gaining some clarity.
First question to ask is, who do I already have favor with? Who are you already doing life with
when you look to your right and you look to your left? Who are those people? Who are you
ministering to already? Who are you building up? Who are you encouraging every day? The next
question to ask is, who do I have grace for? It's not everyone. Now, I know we're all very good
Christians and we all have grace for everyone. I know that. I know, I know, I know. But there is a
natural grace that flows that I have for certain people, maybe a certain demographic or a certain
age group of a person that you might not have a natural grace for. It doesn't mean you don't
love them, doesn't mean you don't want Jesus for them, but you don't have a natural connection
point and the grace doesn't seem to flow when you connect with that type of person or you don't
really know what to say or how to encourage them because maybe there's not shared experience.
Who do you feel empowered to reach? For Bruce and I, it's you. It's kingdom messengers. We love
spending time with you. We love helping you. We love pouring ourselves out to serve you. We love
late night sessions thinking about, okay, what kind of challenge can we do next to help equip
and empower these kingdom messengers? It's a natural grace flow for us. Doesn't mean that
it's not hard work, but there is grace in the work. The lie that too many people believe is that
if it's easy and enjoyable, it must not be God. We allow the enemy often to guide us in angst
instead of allowing Jesus to lead us in peace. We think, oh, we have to go travel to this one
region and live in the sticks because we hear someone else's story and we're like, man, they're
doing it. We build in our minds this elitism in the kingdom. Heidi Baker, she's out in Mozambique
and she's serving in the brush and how amazing is she? I'm just serving this small group of
young moms and helping equip and encourage them to lead their families well. It just doesn't
seem like it's the same amount of ministry because Heidi Baker's ministry feels maybe
miserable to you. If I was in the brush, I don't think I would survive, guys. I'm just going to
be really honest. I'm so glad there's people like Heidi because she's reaching her world, right?
I'm going to reach my world, but the enemy wants me to believe because I'm not doing what she's doing,
it's not as significant. It's not as powerful. It's not as impactful and that is not the truth.
It doesn't mean that what we're doing and who we're reaching is it doesn't take work. It's a
lot of work to reach you guys, but work is not a curse. Stress, angst in our work is a curse.
So the question is who do you have grace to reach? Bruce and I could spend our lives trying to reach
everyone in the world, but we would be doing it out of pressure, not partnership. And so we are,
we know who we're called to and we are walking in that direction knowing that God is leading others
to lead in other directions. So that's a question to ask. So the question is who do I have favor
with naturally? Like who am I already, who am I already reaching? Who am I already encouraging,
ministering to, having conversations with? Who do I have grace for? And another question is what is
the Lord saying to me right now or what has he said? Are there prophetic words that have been
spoken over your life about who you're called to reach or do you feel the Lord is like speaking to
you right now about who you're called to reach? Like for some of you, especially in people's season
of transition, maybe that who is changing. That can happen. Just because your who is who it is
right now, it doesn't mean that's who it's going to be 20 years from now. It could change, but the
Lord has something specific for you and he might be speaking to you or highlighting people to you
or talking to you about people or bringing people in your path for you to minister to.
So this was my story. In February of 2020, I was burned out. I was frustrated. I was totally
confused. There was no clarity on what I should be doing with my life and ministry. And because of
that, I was allowing the confusion to breed condemnation. Like I shared, everyone else was
doing amazing things. Heidi Baker's in the brush. I think I would die if I was out there for 24
hours. I don't feel significant. I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing. Confusion,
condemnation, not operating and aligning with my identity in Christ at all. I'm sitting in a group
coaching session with my mentor, Pedro, and he's having this conversation. You're not called to
reach the whole world. You're...
called to reach your world, who is your who,
and instead of standing firm in my identity in Christ,
I have a bad attitude about it
because I'm allowing confusion to breed condemnation.
Instead of placing my expectation
in God's goodness towards me and as affection for me,
I'm treating him like he's my boss
and he's about to fire me.
Instead of using my authority that I have in Christ
to disempower discouragement and disappointment,
I'm letting discouragement and disappointment disempower me.
That's where I was.
But the good news is even though I was in a low place,
God loves to be with us in our low places
because there's so much to learn there
and there's so much more to become.
We're not abandoned in the low places.
We're not left alone.
God is not leaving us there to teach us a lesson
and once we figure out our lives,
then he'll come back and be with us.
No, he's with us in our low places
and he was with me in that very low place.
He was with me through the words of my mentor, Pedro.
He was with me in the community of coaching,
people I was being coached with.
He was showing up in many ways,
speaking to my head and my heart and my very core being
and I said, God, I need clarity.
I need a word from you.
It wasn't a calm ask, okay?
I'm calming it down.
It was from a deep place of desperation.
I said, I need you to show me what it is
that I'm supposed to be doing with my life
and who am I supposed to be reaching?
And he was extremely gentle with me like he is
and he says, Linz, I've already told you
and he led me to get off that coaching call
and go look at the words, the prophetic words
that I had been keeping, that I've recorded over the years.
Bruce and I, we deeply value the prophetic
and so when we receive prophetic words,
we bring them to the Lord and if we feel like he says,
yes, this is for you, we record them.
We keep them in our journal and so he said,
go back to that place.
I've been speaking to you all along about who you're who is.
It's there and so to make a long story short,
I came across a word that someone had given me in 2017.
So again, this is February, 2020.
So three years prior, someone had given me a word
that totally illuminated who my who was.
Millennial women, not just all millennial women,
kingdom millennial women,
not just all kingdom millennial women,
kingdom millennial women who were women of action,
who were out there rolling up their sleeves.
The picture they had was of Rosie the Riveter.
If you know, she's from World War II propaganda.
She was, we can do this.
These are people who, there's a women of action
rolling up their sleeves, advancing the kingdom
in their own spheres and influence.
So it was pretty specific, okay?
In fact, it was so specific that God placed one friend
that I had in my mind and he said,
that's who you're called to reach.
You're called to reach her.
Just one, out of all of that, just one.
And it felt very small.
It felt like a very narrow calling.
It felt very exclusive.
It felt very limiting, but God, what about everyone else?
There's other people that need you
and you want me to just focus on reaching this one friend?
And I sensed him tell me in that moment,
if you focus on the one, you're gonna reach many.
At the time, I didn't have words for it.
I didn't have articulation for it,
but what the Lord was doing was he was giving me clarity
that was giving me focus that was leading to strategy,
that a strategy that would eventually reach many.
And I sensed the Lord say, pay attention to this one friend.
I'm putting her in your head
so that you start to pay attention.
If you focus on the one, you'll reach many.
This is kingdom math, by the way.
The only math in the kingdom is multiplication, okay?
It's not addition.
So the one, many.
That was a Monday.
Friday rolls around.
I'm scrolling through Instagram stories
and this one friend who I know
I'm supposed to be paying attention to,
like just slightly stalking, but just, okay,
what is she into?
What is she posting about?
She asked a question on her stories
and she's looking for podcast recommendations.
She's looking for something encouraging and brief
and she says, quote, I'm looking for a short,
audible fist bump to remind me that God is in everything.
And it just, everything clicked.
And the Lord said, this is what your who is asking for.
This is what they need.
This is how you're gonna help them answer the questions
they have in their heart and solve the problems
that they have in their head.
I jumped out of my chair
because I was like, I can do this.
I felt so empowered, so energized in that moment.
I was like, I can do this.
I can put together a short podcast.
That was a Friday night.
My online podcast launched Monday morning.
Here's what's so cool that I don't want us to miss.
February of 2020. Does anyone remember what happened March 2020? I get online and I start
these podcasts online in February 2020 and about a month later, most of the world goes online,
right? For jobs and church and everything else. So like the Lord is so kind in his provision and
timing. Fast forward two years later and here we all sit. So much has evolved and changed and grown
from that focusing on the one to reaching many. So my question is who is your who? Who do you
feel like your who is right now? It might not be your only who, but who is your who right now?
Don't be afraid to get super specific. Maybe there's a friend that the Lord's highlighted
to you in the season that you just feel compelled to come alongside and minister to.
That's going to bring you clarity and focus that will bring you some strategy. And the reason why
we want to get clear is because we want to protect ourselves from being double-minded on this journey
as a kingdom messenger. Because that's going the clarity is going to help keep you from being
unstable as you journey out in the digital landscape. It's going to keep you from being
distracted by comparison and criticism and confusion because those three C's run rampant
in the digital landscape. The people who reach the most people on social media platforms are those
who know who they're showing up for every day. It doesn't matter that there's other people doing
other things. They are focused on what it is that they're supposed to be doing because they know who
it is they're supposed to be reaching. They're focused on coming up with content and helping
serve their who by providing answers to their questions, solutions to their problems, speaking
their language. Jesus did this with parables, right? He knew his who. So he used language and parables
and illustrations that they would understand. When we know who our who is, we know what language to
use. We know what illustrations connect with them. We know what shared experience would easily connect
with them. So who do you feel called to reach? Is it the next generation? Well, let's see if we can
get specific. How young? Is it millennials? Is it Gen Z? Maybe you feel called to serve parents.
Are they parents of young kids, babies, teenagers, adults? You feel called to share the gospel. Okay.
Is it an evangelistic calling? Do you feel called to evangelize pre-Christians? Do you feel called
to equip new Christians? Do you feel called to encourage burned out Christians? Maybe Christians
that find themselves in a season of deconstruction. Do you feel called to embolden mature Christians
to continue to stand firm? As you create your videos, I want you to be thinking about this. Who
is my who? Who is this for? And here's what we're not going to do. We're not going to spend the next
five days trying to figure out your who. Okay. This is coach Lindsey. Okay. This is coach mode.
We're not spending the next five days figuring out your who, because I am committed to protecting
you from analysis paralysis. And a lot of people get stuck here and they feel like they can't launch
or do anything until they're perfectly clear on their who, and then they never launch and do
anything. The truth is we are pioneers. Okay. Each and every one of you are pioneers and you're like,
oh, I'm not a pioneer. That's not me. Listen, you're here. You're interested. Something about
this challenge attracted you. You're pioneers. Okay. We're pioneering something in the next five
days together. And clarity often comes as we move forward. As we walk into the territory we're
supposed to take. We're going to try new things. We're going to experiment. Our hands are going to
get messy. It's not going to be perfect. That is okay. Many kingdom messengers in our community
who have been with us for a while will tell you that the clarity on their who came as time went
on, as they continued to move forward, as they continued to produce and publish their content.
They maybe had an idea of who that was as they started, but they didn't let just not having it
perfectly clear get them stuck. They moved forward with an expectation clarity will come
as I move forward. So we're not going to sit around and be like, well, I'm going to spend the
next day like meditating for who's my who. No, here's the reality. The Holy Spirit already knows
who your who is. And I trust him to get through to you. Do you trust him to get through to you?
He knows right now. He doesn't need to hold out on the information. So we're going to open
ourselves up as we move forward to hear what it is that he's saying to us. So we're going to spend
today on our who, like thinking about it if you don't quite know, getting a little clear,
and then we're moving forward with whatever ounce of clarity
comes to you today. We're moving forward with that. We're going to trust our Helper, the Holy Spirit,
that He will help us on this journey. We're not alone. We're not behind. We're not lacking. We
have everything we need for life and godliness, including being a kingdom messenger, including
walking and standing firm in our kingdom identity, our identity in Christ. So we are not going to let
any form of self-doubt tempt us into underestimating our Helper's ability to get through to us and lead
us and guide us in all things. What we tend to do is we put a lot of blame, shame, and condemnation,
like I was doing with my confusion, and we say, well, it's not the Holy. I know He's speaking. I
just can't hear Him. And we live in that space. We have to embrace the truth that there is no
condemnation for those who are in Jesus Christ. And we have to trust that He cares more about
doing the thing He's promised to do, which is lead us and guide us in all things,
than making sure that we have our ears open and doing everything step by step. He's not
waiting to reward us with clarity. It's available to us today. Trust is the bridge.
Trust is the bridge, okay? So without any further ado, I do like to get some feedback because I
love being on Zoom with you guys. I want to hear from you, like who feels like you have,
okay, two questions, because I know we've got people who are new and people that have been
with us for a while. If you feel like, hey, I think I know who my who is, let's talk. I want
to hear, I just want to, because I think that's, it's always helpful to hear where people are,
because other people might, it might spur some ideas and some clarity for those people. So
that's the first question. So raise your hand if you're like, I know who my who is, and you want
to be brave enough to share. Okay, Lydia, I see you raising your hand. Go ahead and unmute yourself.
Give me one second. Oh, okay. Sorry. We've got to get the settings right. Yeah, you can unmute
yourself. Go for it, Lydia. Let's see. Let's make sure she's able to do that. Are you unmuted?
Let's see. Oh, yeah. Try now. Sorry, sorry. That was me. There we go.
Well, today I was on a director's meeting for the healing rooms from the Netherlands.
And we were praying and I had some kind of prayer for young people. And I got the word
perspective and hope. So I was praying there and all of these guys there are most 60 years, 65
years. And I was praying, Lord, let us bring hope and perspective to the young people.
Maybe on TikTok, I said, most of them were laughing. Well, we were praying. But it was in
my spirit. And I thought, I would, I want to pray this. And I came home and read the email
and saw this email from you. So I knew, yes, I'm excited. I really can jump from from joy.
And I asked the Lord, just who's my who just a few moments ago. And he, I think 20 people of 20.
I don't know how to say that in English. I'm from the Netherlands. And so I think that's my group.
But I'm 50. So I don't know how to do that. And I'm jumping up and down.
Because we need more spiritual fathers and mothers online. I think we need more spiritual
fathers and mothers on TikTok. There is a there is a fatherless motherless generation on TikTok
right now that needs you in your 50s. Speaking to them in their 20s. You have wisdom, you have
life experience, you have walked a journey that they have yet to walk in. And you have hope. You
have the answer. You have the wisdom and saying, guys, no matter what is what lies are being spoken
to you right now in your 20s. There is there is hope in your 50s. And here's how we can here's
how we can do it. Here's the wisdom. Here's Jesus like here's kingdom. Yeah, I'm so excited.
Oh, thank you very much, Lindsay. That's so encouraging. Thank you. Yeah. For anyone who's
like right now feeling like, guys, I'm 34 years old and I was tempted to believe I'm too old for
TikTok because I thought it was just Gen Z and I didn't feel relevant anymore at 34. There's not
just Gen Z on TikTok, but there is a lot of Gen Z on TikTok. There's a lot of millennials like
we're considered in the millennial generation. Like so as a millennial, I'm telling you,
we need more spiritual fathers and mothers online. Yeah, we don't need more 20 somethings
giving us life advice. We love 20 somethings, but but how much more profound and powerful from
from real experience, not theory. Right. Yeah. That's awesome. Take one more.
Yeah, let's take one more of who do you know you're who Barry,
let's hear from you.
Hello. Hello. Hi, I'm 64 years old. You're 34 I have underwear
older than you. I don't know. It's a guy thing. We don't throw
anything out. But anyway, I have blessed I am blessed to be a
two time cancer survivor. One from stage four non Hodgkin's
lymphoma. And one from that was in 2009. And one from advanced
prostate cancer in 2016. I know Heavenly Father healed me both.
So initially, when I started on my program, it was like anybody
who's heard the words you've got cancer, but that's not good.
That's not going to help me narrow it down. So I've got it
down to business people who've heard the words you've got
cancer, who are juggling multiple stresses, and they've
got so much going on in their life. It's probably what caused
the cancer. Wow, I was going through accident bankruptcy,
cancer, divorce, employee theft, all in 18 months. And
Heavenly Father turned it all around. And we just I'm cancer
free. We celebrated our 41st anniversary last year. So
Heavenly Father is a good guy. So it so that's where that's my
niche.
That's amazing. I love that. I mean, guys, just imagine
somebody, a business person, that's just heard the words,
you've got cancer, completely stressed out, burned out, no
hope for the future. And Barry pops up on their tick tock.
While they're scrolling, just trying to kill, distract
themselves, that there's going to be an impact made in 60
seconds, three minutes, like powerful, powerful. That's
super exciting. Okay, now my next question is I just and
we'll take one or two, but I want to hear from some some
veteran kingdom messengers, anyone who didn't know their
who, when they started out, but began to get clarity as they
moved forward. Xavier, are you able to unmute yourself and kind
of speak to that speak to like, just your journey?
Yes, I can. Hi, guys. It's been a while. The journey's been been
a little bit crazy. For sure. But just just to speak to that
directly. Yes, absolutely. I in fact, I was very clear on who I
thought my who was and I was writing that down it at some
point. And being real clear about it, you know, in my own
mind, and the Spirit just kind of stopped me and said, No,
that that's not your avatar, or you know, your who. It's
actually his wife. And I was just kind of blown away. And I
kept writing. Well, I didn't start I was just holding the
pen, but but it really kind of came through because I am
dealing with with business people who are kingdom minded,
and, and want to run their businesses according to to, you
know, God's purposes and God's plans for their for their
particular lives. And so I had a very explicit person in mind,
and the Lord turned out around and made it very, very clear.
And the first person I talked to confirm that. And so, you know,
we may we may be confused, I think I was confused in terms of
who I wanted to reach initially, because we all have this, this
feeling that, you know, our message is for everybody. And it
may be indeed, it's something that can apply to everyone. But
who we speak to is, is who our sphere of influence happens to
be. That's who we need to be talking to. And you know, the
Lord is is is constantly now I'm finding expanding my sphere of
influence so that it's greater and greater and greater. But you
know, it's something we just have to jump in with both feet.
You guys know that, you know, when I just started, I just kind
of started out. And you know, things went all kinds of
directions. But God is good. And so you don't need to think that
you've got it perfect. Because he's got the plan. All we have
to do is walk in it.
Good word. Thank you so much for sharing. Amy, I see your hand
raised. Can you just just share a little bit about your journey
with like discovering or who and moving forward and pressing the
publish button? What was that like?
Okay, well, I, I had been a mentor and discipler of young
women for for many years and felt like God was directing me
to multiply what I did. And your challenge came up to bring a lot
of clarity, clarity to me that it was going to be on the
digital landscape. And I narrowed it down. I mean, my who
is my, my, myself, when I was young, and my growing up and my
growing in my identity. But for Tick Tock, several months later,
I had not yet launched in September, and I was at a
department
store and I was talking to a woman and she was she was pretty stressed out and you know it was
obvious like she didn't have any help and I said well um you know said something about her help and
she said we cannot keep help and she said if we do have help they're just on their phones
and it was like that day the Lord dropped TikTok into my heart because I saw those like
young 20-something which are not my my group that the heart of of my podcast is about knowing the
love of God and the idea you know identity in God and so that's why I'm on this challenge because
I've wanted to do TikTok but I've been busy with other platforms with my podcast. Awesome,
thank you so much for sharing yeah this is the beautiful thing like even with posture like I
set out to reach the one friend and then really the friend that the person that she represented
millennial women who were women of action kingdom women of action I don't just reach that who with
my podcast men listen to my podcast different generations listen to my podcast so when we think
about niching down it's more for for our own sanity our own clarity because what it is is like
we begin to figure out okay how can like we begin to we get ignited is what I'm trying like with
Amy like she had her eyes open to even just hear that comment and be inspired and ignited by that
where before like maybe that would have been said and it would have been like not a big deal not
something you would have paid attention to so that is why we like go through this exercise or we're
not doing spending the next five days doing this but what we do have for those of you that want to
take some time and getting some clarity even if it's just an ounce we will have a worksheet
available that will make available to you after this session that's part of your homework of like
okay I want to spend some time answering some questions going through those questions that I
mentioned before spending some time with the lord and just jotting down like Xavier said like it got
to the point I wasn't I was not I was just holding the pen the lord was speaking like just take some
time today and get some even if just an ounce of clarity on who it is that you're called to reach
on tiktok it it's gonna fuel the rest of the process that we spend on the next five days
absolutely and just to wrap up this uh kind of chapter of this session um let's just I'm gonna
pull that that slide yeah yeah you showed what it looks like and so this is the worksheet and
if our team can just go ahead and drop the link to that um it's also in the description of this
video if you're watching the replay you can grab it um there's gonna be a two-part uh worksheet for
this so there's just just a couple questions and just prompts like who do you already have
favor with some of these questions it's not complicated like I think that we think it has
to be complicated in order for it to be profound but the simplicity of just taking time with the
lord to ask these questions and um get inspired dream that will be profound that process with him
will be profound yeah and we recommend taking a second like this is something you can do it's
almost like you can do it in a space of worship for me that's kind of where these these kind of
credit creative ideas come from is put some worship music on put something on in the background that
helps you just focus and kind of hear from the lord and and do kind of partner with the holy
spirit in this this is a really uh have a conversation yeah it's not something you have
to go sit and like focus on and like it can be really easy it can be fun it can be a conversation
with the holy spirit so uh who do you have the grace for what are the prophetic words of your
life um or things the lord's talking to you about and then just some other questions here about uh
finding out like who does your who like what are things that your who loves like they love
peace they love this they love short you know whatever it is they love this brand even you know
so like this was like the lord said like just start paying attention to this friend by paying
attention to her I began to like study her a bit not stock but maybe a little bit but it's okay
because we're friends on facebook but you know take some time once you've got a little bit of
clarity around your hood to start thinking about okay what do they love what do they hate
um what are some of the problems they might be dealing with
we everything's for hang on one second I think um
I don't know
okay did you guys miss us we're back I don't know what happened did we go away continue go ahead
so what I was saying which is very quickly is like take some time to when you get an idea of
it could be this type of person start to think about what is that type of person love what do
they hate what are some problems they might be dealing with what are some questions that they
might be having and just start to think about them and get inspired by how you can best serve
them with the content that you're going to be creating on tiktok
Absolutely.
And we'll talk more about the content creation part
as we get along in these five days.
Yeah, absolutely.
So we want to take just a second.
We've got another activation
that we want to walk you guys through
before we wrap up today.
And we are going to keep kind of under that 90 minutes
for the whole session.
So if you've stuck around with us,
we've got a couple more minutes
and we are going to do a prize.
We're going to give away some microphones at the end.
So what I'm going to do right now,
this is going to be very easy and very practical.
So Lindsey, I felt inspired to go start a new TikTok
after hearing Lindsey sing.
So that's awesome.
I'm so glad, Bruce.
And I think,
but I hope you guys are fired up about that.
It was just a really powerful session.
So what I want to do is I'm going to share my phone here
and we are going to take the next few minutes to,
we said name the session,
it's time to get on TikTok.
Pun intended.
And so what you can do is we're going to go ahead
and download the TikTok app on our smartphones.
If you don't have a smartphone,
for whatever reason,
you can go in and go to the website and set this up.
And we're going to create an account right now,
not later today or at the end of this challenge,
like we're going to do it right now.
And then I'm going to,
this is going to be a second part of your worksheet.
That's going to have some steps around TikTok.
So if you give me just one second,
I'm going to make sure I can share my screen.
So give me,
all right.
So let's do this.
All right.
Cool.
Let me make this all kind of situated here.
Okay.
You guys hopefully can see that.
This is my phone.
And we're going to go over to the app store.
If you're on an Android device,
or if you're on an iPhone,
it's going to be all kind of the same.
And we're going to just go ahead and search
for the TikTok app.
So move that there.
Sorry, my template got messed up.
Hang on one second, guys.
There we go.
This is fun.
You guys should watch me playing this.
There we go.
Okay.
So what we're going to do is go
and just search for TikTok.
And it's really cool here on TikTok.
I think it's on the app store here
is that they have 12 million ratings on the app store.
And there's my friend calling me.
And then I just want to quickly just point this out,
just for reference,
go to Facebook.
The Facebook app has 1.2 million reviews.
So just let that sink in
because you guys probably found us through Facebook
or you're on Instagram.
You may not be on TikTok.
So that's just the comparison
of just how many people are downloading
and rating this app.
So go ahead and hit the download button on this.
So we're going to go ahead and download it.
And then I'm going to set up an account here.
So I'm going to take a second.
We're going to give you guys a minute here
to go do all that.
So go ahead and pull up.
If you guys have questions,
if you're getting stuck,
you have something,
just, yeah.
And sorry, if you don't have a smartphone,
go to TikTok.com.
You can do all of this
through the TikTok website as well.
But we will encourage you.
If you do have a phone,
it's going to be better for you
for this whole challenge to use a smartphone.
But again, you can totally use the website as a backup.
So when you open the app,
and again, I'm going to go kind of move through it
so we can make sure we get to everything today.
But you can go back and watch this replay
on YouTube or Facebook,
wherever you are watching
and you can pause it
and you can kind of figure out exactly
what step to do where.
So what TikTok is going to do
is it wants to train the algorithm
to figure out things that you like.
Now, the more you watch TikTok,
the more trained it's going to get.
And I will tell you that it will get very scary
over a number of hours of using TikTok
how much TikTok knows you.
And not because you followed people,
not because you subscribe necessarily,
but just because you watched this video
four seconds longer than that video,
or this video you liked the video
and this one you just skimmed past
after the first second.
And it just figures out,
it's almost like you're rating
the content as you go.
So what you can do here,
if you want to,
is you can go and select some interests.
For the sake of this tutorial,
I'm just going to skip over this
and just hit skip.
And so it's going to have a little thing here.
You can go ahead and just swipe up
and start watching.
Okay, now here's the thing I want to
make you all aware of.
I'm going to turn off the notifications.
I don't need that.
When you open TikTok,
you're going to see the most random content ever.
It's not going to be stuff you necessarily like
because it doesn't know what you want.
So if I go over to the profile.
I want to go ahead here and create an account.
So first thing we want to do is go and create an account,
click on the profile in that bottom right button,
and then you're going to click sign up.
And then you'll have a number of options
here of different ways to sign up.
And so you can use your username.
If you want to use your Facebook account, you can.
If you want to say continue with Apple,
continue with Google, any of those will work.
If you're like that none of that works well,
you can go to the very bottom here where it says sign up.
And so then you can just sign up
with any of those accounts as well.
You can use your phone number,
it'll send you a text and you'll get right in.
So you want to use your real name.
That's totally fine.
And we'll get a little bit into that on day three on Friday.
We're going to be talking about how to optimize your profile.
So for now, just put in your name
and we're going to maybe change it on Friday.
Don't worry about it.
And you can easily change it later.
So I'm going to put a date in here for my birthday.
Now you guys all know I'm 32 and I'm put my,
we're going to do this, send code.
And I'm going to wait for that to come in.
And you can also just do an email address just as easily.
So let me do this here.
I'm actually going to use the email.
So it's going to put in kind of a fake email here.
I have a number of TikTok accounts.
I'm hoping it's just going to let me in,
even though, okay, so it's asking me to create a password.
So we'll go ahead and do that.
You have to have letters and numbers and all kinds of stuff.
So pick something that's secure and just write this down
because you're going to be coming back to it later.
And if you ever get signed out of the app or whatever,
you'll need to come back and do this.
So let's go next.
Okay, so this is where I can create a username.
So I'm just going to call myself Bruce,
which has already been taken.
So I'll be BruceVZ1 and just hit sign up.
It doesn't really matter what's there.
Now it's asking for access to my contacts.
I'm going to say no, but what that's there for
is to help you try and like find people
that you're friends with.
So what I encourage you guys to do next
is to go to the discover tab
and go and search for your favorite church,
go search for your favorite pastor,
your favorite worship leader.
And then what's going to happen is
you're going to go find content around that,
specifically kingdom content.
So I'm just going to type in,
we'll just type in Bethel church here.
And so you'll find like a bunch of stuff here.
Some of it's positive and some of it's not.
So kind of click through,
click on something that you think is interesting.
And you could also go, let me do Bethel music.
I know there's a good, they have some really good content.
You can click on, so there's a Bethel music account here
that they're already on TikTok.
They have 65,000 followers.
I'm going to go and follow them.
And I'm just going to go and kind of click through
some of this stuff and just watch some of these clips
and let it just play through.
Because what you're doing is you're just telling TikTok
what you enjoy watching.
So do that, go back, find other stuff.
And TikTok's going to slowly start to send
similar type content to you when you go to the feed.
So if you go back to the homepage now,
you can just swipe up.
And if you don't like what it is,
you just hit swipe up again, swipe up again, keep going.
And you'll eventually find something that's interesting.
And then you'll end up watching a little bit of it.
And Facebook, TikTok will realize
that you like that content.
So here's some, we have a dog.
So here's something about a dog.
So maybe I'll sit here and watch this for a second.
And now TikTok will start showing you things about dogs.
Not cats, not a pet person.
It'll figure out like dogs
and then specific types of dogs even
like that you like watching.
It's kind of crazy.
So if you like something,
you can hit that heart in the right side there
and just like, and you can kind of keep scrolling.
So awesome.
So I'm going to go ahead and stop that
before I mess up everything here on my account.
And that is also going to be part
of the second sheet of your homework.
So if you jump, if you've already downloaded the PDF,
maybe we can drop the link again for the team.
Just on that, it's the same PDF,
but on page two, you're going to have this TikTok signup.
So everything we just did is on this list.
And you will also, let me make it a little bigger here
so we can see it.
Yeah, I just, if you're on YouTube, go ahead.
Like once you're done with the first page
and the second page,
just go and comment on the YouTube video.
Like, hey, I did the homework.
I'm done. I'm ready.
Like I did assignment one.
Um, if you're in the Facebook community, go live, like go live, share that you
finished it, or just do a post that you finished it, or you can comment on this
video, just let us know somewhere that you finished the assignment.
That's great.
And then we'll get ready for, um, day two.
So that is just time to get talking.
So I hope that all of you now are officially on Tik TOK.
This is not just something that maybe your kids or grandkids are
on that you are on Tik TOK.
Now, this is something that you can start to use.
You can start to play with it and just give it some time.
Uh, you know, it's not going to be giving you the greatest content initially, but
the more time you kind of play with it, the more time, you know, I will say
that Tik TOK, there's a reason so many people come to it is it's very, very
addictive as a social platform because you're constantly rating content.
So it's getting smarter and smarter and smarter.
Um, and so it just kind of sucks you in.
So put a timer time limit on or something, because it can
quickly, um, get to be too much.
So I'm just giving the comments.
Cause I was not looking at any of the comments there.
Um, you were, I think, um, yeah, people were asking, can
I change my username later?
Yes, you can.
We say, go ahead and, um, use your real name.
Um, people love to connect with people, not so much as motivated to connect
with like faceless brands and stuff.
So I'm actually, you know, posture podcast everywhere else, but on Tik TOK,
I'm my handles, Lindsay Van Zael.
Um, and so, yeah, don't be afraid to use your name.
Um, I know that you might have a ministry name, you
might have a podcast name.
And if you feel like it, you can always change it later.
But for the sake of getting activated and starting creating content, like
just go ahead and use your name.
So you don't get stuck on that one detail.
Awesome.
I'm seeing everybody's like signed up there.
They got this.
This is great.
Lots of good comments coming in.
Super cool.
Okay.
So that's kind of the content and the tech today.
Again, we want to pace this in a way where you guys have some time to breathe.
So some of you, you have homework, whether you need to go ahead and finish setting
up your Tik TOK account, getting used to the platform, doing some exploring
on, on different content pieces there.
Spend some time to think and talk to the Lord about who your, who is on Tik TOK,
who you're going to be creating content for, um, tomorrow when we're back, we're
going to be creating our videos, going through all of that.
Um, so you don't want to miss that.
We'll be going through some more strategy.
Yeah.
We've got templates and scripts and all kinds of stuff we're going to be giving
you guys, so you're going to have so many resources here to quickly create.
Tomorrow, like go and record three videos so that you're ready on Friday to go post
those three videos and start getting some views.
So, um, it's gonna be really exciting.
Uh, we've got all the like pieces in place to make this super, super easy for you guys.
Um, so as we're wrapping up, we're going to do a quick giveaway.
We're going to give away some mics.
This is a fantastic mic when Lindsay launched posture, which
was at our dining room table.
We had no lights.
The light was our window.
Um, and we use that for the first three episodes or three seasons.
Um, and this was the mic.
She was something almost identical to this, maybe not even as nice as this.
Um, but it was the same kind of brand.
So we thought that's what she used to start.
We're going to give that to someone here today.
And I'm going to ask for, um, Tamara, if you got, if you have some names for us,
uh, let's, uh, we're going to do, we're going to do one person from YouTube
and then one from Facebook if we can.
Okay, cool.
We have Alana Carbar from Hawaii and, and then we also have Dahlia Alcaraz.
Congratulations.
Send us an email at help at KMW support and we will get you all set up.
Awesome.
That's so good.
Well, uh, that's very exciting.
And so, yeah, definitely just email prize winners, uh, just
emails that help at KMW support.
And, uh, we'll be all ready to go at, for tomorrow.
So, yeah.
So tomorrow, same time, same place.
You can log into where you watched us.
Um, if you are watching on YouTube and you're like, Hey, you guys have
mentioned the Facebook community.
What is that all about?
It's our private kingdom messenger community.
And for $37, you can get lifetime access.
It's a great place.
Even past challenge post challenge, I should say for feedback,
encouragement, accountability with other kingdom messengers that
are all on mission together.
And so it's $37.
If you want to go ahead and all donated, all donated to God behind bars.
So a hundred percent of that will go to God behind bars who are putting
tablets and that are loaded with sermons and, um, kingdom messenger
content, worship sessions for inmates who are behind bars.
So, yeah.
So how do they upgrade?
There's a link if you're watching on Facebook or YouTube,
it's one K view challenge.com.
There'll be links in your emails as well.
And text us up to it.
So, uh, so definitely there.
So guys, this has been an awesome day.
One, uh, I think we had a few, maybe 200 people at, you know,
kind of watching along aside us.
I know people are watching in different places, so super excited
to be helping you guys launch.
If I just can't imagine what.
Having 200 people, new accounts, all finding their who, proclaiming good news on TikTok.
It's going to make a significant difference, potentially having 200,000 views by Friday, right?
Yeah, by Monday.
By Monday, by the end of this challenge.
Yeah.
So it's awesome. So we're excited, guys.
3 p.m. Eastern Time tomorrow.
Same time, every single day.
If you guys have any questions, just drop them in the comments.
Or the Facebook groups.
If you're on Zoom, obviously Zoom will go away, but you've got Facebook access, so drop them in the Facebook group.
Our team, we're going to do our best to get questions answered.
And that's what we're going to be doing after the session ends.
So praying for you guys as you jump into your homework, and we will see you tomorrow.
See you, guys.
Have an awesome time.
See ya.
