Welcome, hello everyone, good to see you.
Day two of our five day challenge, 1K in five days challenge using TikTok.
That is what I'm allowed to say.
Bruce and Lindsay, we're here, we're back, we've got sunlight, we're trying to working
with our natural light.
This is, it's live guys, it's live.
Okay, there we go.
The sun just came out right as we started, so.
Okay, let us know in the comments if you were here with us for day one and if you were able
to get on TikTok yesterday.
That was part of the homework assignment.
Let us know in the comments.
It was so fun to see people yesterday saying I'm here, here's where I'm tuning in from
today.
We want to know, are you here?
Is it your first day or were you with us yesterday?
It's okay if this is your first day, there's lots of time to catch up.
We are putting this at a peaceful pace these five days and being able to give you kind
of bite-sized chunks along the way with both the content strategy and the tech support
to get you not just launched on TikTok, but get your first thousand views within these
five days.
Absolutely.
So we are really excited that you guys are here.
It's day two of day five.
It's like, we're going to do some fun stuff today.
And we have a, again, another packed session.
We're going to do kind of three different sections and we're going to do everything
from helping you clarify your message to giving you some examples and like some prompts.
What kind of videos you can start to make, how you can make a quick script and get your
videos done.
And then we're going to give you guys, we're going to actually going to live record an
episode today for Lindsay on TikTok.
And then you guys are going to go after this session and record three clips that videos
that we're going to publish tomorrow.
Yeah.
So you don't have to, nobody freak out.
You don't have to publish it today.
We're going to work on publishing and optimizing tomorrow with Isaac Holt, who's a TikTok expert
that really has helped me launch and thrive on TikTok.
We're going to be sharing all of his wisdom and insight with you tomorrow.
So it's not just posting the video.
So don't worry.
All today is about getting those videos recorded and we're going to publish them tomorrow.
So you have some time, you have some breathing room to create and converse with the Holy
Spirit and do a few hundred takes if you need to get comfortable in front of the camera.
That's all what's happening today.
It's going to be awesome.
So we're going to dive into it in just a second.
I want to run through some super quick announcements.
We did have a bunch of people join since yesterday.
So you may have seen this already, but if you haven't signed up for our text message
alerts, just text the word TikTok to 404-383-4709.
If you're in the US and Canada, unfortunately, not an easy way to text globally yet.
But if you're in the US and Canada, you can sign up for our text alerts.
Cool.
And if you are looking for emails from us, we are sending a lot of emails this week.
So if you're not getting them, check your spam, check your junk folder could be in there.
If you have any questions, not content or tech or TikTok questions, not session related,
but admin.
Yeah.
And then just send that over to admin at help at kmwsupport.com.
Cool.
So.
As you guys know, we're going to be doing daily prizes every single day.
This is one of our favorite things to do, but we do need you guys to be registered.
This is free.
If you're watching on YouTube, it's free, but we just want to make sure we know
who's here and that we can get you prizes.
So you go to 1kviewchallenge.com.
If you haven't registered, uh, you click on that, you put your name
in email and then you're, you're in.
Okay.
Um, and that is that the other thing, if you are on YouTube and you want to be
part of our Facebook community, there is a way for you to upgrade, um, to, uh,
join that and you can go to the same website, 1kviewchallenge.com and, uh,
there'll be an option for you to, uh, join that the cool thing about this
guys is that we are giving a hundred percent of the money raised, uh, from
those, those upgrades to a ministry called God behind bars, which we are
partnering with and they're helping distribute the gospel into prisons
throughout the U S um, and the really cool thing is that as of five minutes
ago, when I checked, we have raised $5,143 for God behind bars, which
means that 286 inmates for the, all of the next 12 months are going to get
content streamed to them, uh, through tablets, sermons, worship services,
all that good stuff.
So guys, just think of the cool, uh, what's happening here.
Like we're over here, uh, you know, working on getting Tiktok and taking
ground on that, but at the same time, like we're resourcing all of these,
uh, people to receive content, which is fantastic.
I saw a stat that they posted that 95% of people that are incarcerated are
going to be out of prison in the next four or five years, I think the status.
So they're wanting to equip them, you know, grow them up in Christ and
then introduce them to Jesus and then feed them right into a local church, uh,
right out.
So it's, it's a very cool system.
We love that ministry.
We're going to hear more about it, um, over the next couple of days, but super
cool.
So well done guys, $5,143.
It's amazing.
So, um, one of the fun things, like I said, we said prizes, so we're
going to come back to that.
Um, we're just going to give away a couple of quick things.
So I'm going to, um, ask Tamara.
I'm going to bring her on screen here.
Give me one second.
And there we go.
Tamara is our awesome community manager.
How many of you guys have been encouraged already by Tamara and our Facebook
group?
That's got a man.
So, uh, Oh, you know what?
I didn't say what we're winning, what we're giving away.
So I have this cool piece t-shirt, which is part of our kingdom messenger swag.
Um, and so we're going to give a two of those.
That's just a Photoshopped picture of me right there.
Um, so yeah, who's winning that we have to pick two guys.
Yes.
All right.
So Quentin Thomas, you are a winner and you can email us at help at KMW support.com.
And also from YouTube, Steve Kuban, hopefully I'm saying your name correctly.
You are our winner for our t-shirt.
Congratulations.
Wait, there's more.
We're also going to give this, um, kingdom messenger, uh, water
bottle, which is really cool.
Um, you can, we're gonna give that away.
Fun fact, Bruce and I are kind of water bottle, junkies, junkies.
Not the right word for it.
So, so we have Tina Hogan, Mary, you are our winner of the water bottle.
So we will get that out to you.
Just email us at help at KMW support.com.
And then also Anna Williams from YouTube.
You are our winner.
Congratulations.
That's so cool.
Well done.
So, um, to kick us off, uh, we're going to have Tamara is going to open us in
prayer and then we'll dive right into our session and amen.
Oh Lord.
We just thank you.
Abba father, you are amazing.
You have brought us here today for such a time as this.
You have brought all of us here before we were born.
You had this in your plan for us.
So we thank you so much for giving this idea to Bruce and to Lindsay for them
being obedient, to answer the call, to equip us, to shine in the darkness.
We thank you.
We thank you God for the strength to do this Lord.
Some of us are here.
We, we may feel like Gideon.
We might be shaking in our boots and some of us are here.
We might feel like Joshua and we're like, yeah, we can do this.
But Lord, whether we're like Gideon or Joshua or somewhere in between, we thank
you that we can lean into you through your Holy spirit.
We thank you that you equip us Lord.
It's not by power.
It's not by might, but it's by your spirit.
It is by your spirit.
So Lord, we ask for you to come.
into this session, Lord.
Give each of us what we need, Lord,
as we learn in day two.
And we even pray, Lord, for the TikTok users,
oh God, that we will touch.
We pray for them right now, Lord,
that you would begin to move upon their hearts,
Lord, that they would be ready and willing to receive.
And we ask all of these things in your precious son,
Jesus Christ's name, amen.
Amen.
Amen, that's awesome, I love it.
So awesome, guys, we are ready for day two.
If you're ready for day two,
drop it in the comments below.
You can drop a fire emoji, a happy face,
just something to let us know that you're listening
and engaging here.
So I think we're ready for our first piece here.
I'm gonna just, I've gotta change.
And guys, why do we ask you
to like participate in the comments?
There is power in participation.
It's not just all fun and games.
There's intentionality in all of that as well.
There's something about participating
in something that activates you.
And we wanna activate you this week.
Again, it's not just about learning more information.
It's not just becoming better informed.
It is about being activated to go out
and leverage the digital landscape to disciple nations.
So I wanna know who has an ounce more clarity
than they did yesterday?
Let me know in the comments.
If you're on Zoom, you can just raise your hand at me.
But who has, okay, I see some people.
Who has an ounce more clarity?
Because like I said, as we lay the groundwork,
as we lay the foundation for building our content strategy
for being kingdom messengers on TikTok,
we are going to receive the gift of clarity and embrace it.
We're gonna expect it because our expectation,
remember yesterday, we united in an expectation
of God's goodness towards us and his affection for us, okay?
He is not a God of confusion.
He is not leaving us in a place of confusion.
And so our expectation can be on him,
not in our own ability to pull ourselves out of confusion
and into clarity.
We are going to do all of this from a place of rest,
peace, and trust in him.
And so we talked yesterday about why TikTok, why now?
We talked about who.
We got clarity on who are we actually gonna spend our time
and our energy reaching on TikTok.
And so we're gonna gain even more clarity today.
I said yesterday, there are two things
that we're gonna get clear on to lay this foundation.
So yesterday we talked about who is your who.
That was the first thing.
We talked about how you are not called
to reach the whole world.
You're called to reach your world.
And you're not called to reach all of TikTok.
You're called to reach your world, your who, on TikTok.
And if you reach your world and I reach my world
and all of us reach our worlds,
the whole world will be reached.
All of TikTok will be reached.
And so today we're gonna talk about the second thing
that we wanna embrace clarity about,
and that is your message.
Talked about who you're talking about.
What are we going to be saying to the who
that we're reaching on TikTok?
You're gonna get those thousand views this week.
So imagine, you know, sometimes when we're on a screen,
hold this up, when we're on a screen,
it doesn't feel real all the time.
It feels like numbers maybe,
but a thousand views, a thousand people.
Imagine being on a stage
and having a thousand people in the audience.
What is your message to those thousand people?
We wanna get clear on that
because clarity kills confusion.
Why am I going to war on confusion?
Because confusion keeps us resistant to change,
keeps us resistant to growth, to taking action.
It keeps us resistant from showing up, opening our mouths.
It keeps us resistant to the planning and the producing
and the publishing and the promoting of our content
here on the digital landscape.
How many of you, this can be a rhetorical question.
How many of you have pushed things into the future
as a way to cope with present confusion?
I have, plenty of time.
It's like, okay, I'm gonna write that book one day,
one day when I have the time,
because when I have the time right now and I sit down,
I'm not sure what to write, I'm confused.
So I'm just gonna, instead of pushing through the confusion,
I'm gonna push the book out into the future somewhere.
It's safe out there.
I'm safe if it's out there somewhere, right?
I'm gonna start that ministry.
I'm gonna start that business.
I'm gonna start that nonprofit someday.
I'm just not.
feeling it right now. I'm not feeling clear about what it needs to be.
I'm going to start that TikTok account someday.
I have a lot to say.
There's a lot of people on TikTok that need to hear the message of truth and
love that I carry in my heart, but I just don't know where really where to start.
So I'll get to it someday. Have any of you had those thoughts?
I have plenty of times.
We encapsulate the message that we carry in a
dream and we throw it out into the distant future somewhere because it's safe
out there. Because we're just not sure right now.
We don't feel clear.
The good news is as sons and daughters of God
who are one with his son, Jesus,
clarity is not a rarity.
It is our inheritance.
Clarity is yours to have today.
It does not come from knowing a bunch of stuff.
It comes from knowing him.
The Bible says our God is not a God of confusion, but of peace.
First Corinthians 14, 33.
We don't have a relationship with confusion,
so we don't have to live with it.
We do not have a relationship with confusion.
We do not have to put up with it, to live with it.
When we're not clear on our message,
what happens when we enter the digital landscape,
when we show up on social media, we are consumers and not creators.
We log in, we scroll through our social media accounts.
We hit up our favorite news sites, our favorite blogs,
and we let the world tell us what's worth talking
about. We let the world decide our talking points.
And there's a lot of Christians online right now who I love deeply.
They are my brothers and sisters in Christ, but they are confused.
And they show up and they walk around the digital landscape
as consumers and not creators, and they spend their time
and their energy here online reacting to the chaos and the noise
instead of being initiators of peace,
demonstrating power and releasing perfect love that cast out all fear.
So that is why I am passionate that we're all here for such a time as this
as kingdom messengers who are not confused, but we are very clear
that clarity is our inheritance.
So we're going to take authority over any confusion in our lives right now.
Any resistance that is trying to keep us from living in rest,
from operating in rest.
We are going to welcome clarity instead into every part of our lives.
And the expectation is not for us to try to strive to get clear.
It's to simply receive the clarity that is ours in Christ.
So we're going to do that right now.
Lord, we receive your clarity
and we know that at the end of this session,
we are going to be more clear on the message.
It is that you've given to us to go out onto the digital landscape
and broadcast to our who, because none of us are carrying a generic gospel.
Amen. The good news that we carry is not merely had knowledge to us.
It's not just something we know about.
Remember, I mentioned yesterday that Jesus said in John eight thirty two.
He said, you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.
And that word know in the Greek doesn't just merely mean
know about something had knowledge.
It's also to know through experience, through intimate relationship.
Each and every one of us don't just know about Jesus.
We know him.
We've experienced him in very deep and very specific ways in our lives.
We all have testimonies of his goodness, of his faithfulness,
of his presence in our lives.
Remember, if you guys remember, Barry, we're talking to Barry yesterday
at the end of our session, and he shared a little bit of his story
healed of cancer twice, restoration in his marriage, restoration in his finances.
The good news, the gospel is not just something Barry knows about.
It's not theory to him.
He has encountered it.
He has encountered Jesus in every area of his life.
There is a message there.
So this was how this was how I became clear on my message.
I lived it in 2018.
I was on the brink of total burnout, and the real problem
was that I thought it was normal, I thought, to live this way,
to be stressed out, to live under pressure, to be on the I thought it was holy.
I thought, you know, we're just going to run this race and I'm going to be ragged at the
end of it, but I'm going to, you know, please Jesus with my effort, my hard work, my success.
Because the most successful people around me and on my screen wore busyness like it
was a badge of honor.
And so I thought, well, I want to be successful and not just by worldly standards, not just
in my career and in material things, but by spiritual standards.
I wanted to be a good Christian and I thought that meant being a very busy Christian.
So every area of my life pretty much was burdened with stress and the pressure to succeed.
And guys, I thought that was my testimony.
My message was to be good for God, to make God look good.
But the chronic stress of living by that belief system, as you can imagine, eventually manifested
as numerous anxiety and panic attacks.
I was broken.
I was in a very low place.
God loves to be with us in our low places.
Like I said yesterday, He met me in this low place and I came across two life-changing
promises from Jesus.
The first was in John 14, 27, where Jesus said, my peace, I give to you.
And then in John 16, 33, when Jesus said, I have told you these things so that in me,
you may have peace.
In this world, you will have trouble, but take heart because I've overcome the world
and you're in me.
And I realized then that Jesus never promised a perfect life, but He did promise perfect
peace, even in the midst of a troubled, imperfect world.
And so I began to walk with Him and put this revelation into practice.
I began to understand that peace was not a calming feeling.
He is a calming presence and He is a presence that promised to never leave me or forsake
me.
So therefore, I always have peace.
Peace, the gift of peace is permanent in my life, no matter what is swirling around my
life.
And so over time, as I journeyed through each day with my Prince of Peace, peace became
permanent.
It became my lifestyle.
It was no longer a truth I just knew about, but it was one that I had encountered, I
had experienced, and I was practicing into permanency in my life.
And it turns out that that pressure to succeed that I had been so caught up in, that life
that was burdened by stress, that belief that I had to be good for God to make God
look good, I realized that is not a problem unique to me.
Do you know who else deals with that quite a bit?
Millennial kingdom women of action who are rolling up their sleeves like Rosie the Riveter
and advancing the kingdom in their own spheres of influence.
If you were with us yesterday, you know that that is my who, that the Lord illuminated
to me, that the Lord told me to start paying attention to and to start reaching.
And Amy touched on this yesterday during our discussion after the session, often our who
is who we used to be.
So all of this began to come together, and the message that your who needs is the testimony
that you already carry.
How many of you have a testimony of being set free in some area or many areas in your
life, encountering the goodness of God?
Jesus said this in John 12, 49.
He said, I only say what my father has told me to say.
How did Jesus know what the father was saying?
How was he able to stick with that through all of the noise around him, the temptation,
the criticism, the sickness, the brokenness, the trouble?
How was Jesus able to stay on message and hear what the father was saying?
Through close, intimate relationship.
And that's good news for us because we are now in Christ.
And because of what Jesus did through his death and resurrection, we now share in the
same relationship that Jesus and the father share.
We have been invited in.
So we have access to hear what the father is saying.
And often what he's saying is through what we are experiencing in our everyday lives
in relationship with him.
Your life in Christ is not a static one.
It's a relational one.
It's a conversation, it's engagement, it's trusting, it's learning, it's growing.
Redemption is meant to be a constant in your life, not just a one-time event at salvation.
You and I are continually
being redeemed into the image of God.
His primary purpose, Genesis 126,
to make us in his image and likeness.
You're continually learning and growing,
gaining fresh revelation, experiencing, overcoming,
and being more than a conqueror in different areas of your life.
And this is good news.
The revelation of God is never running dry.
We are not meant to live for a destination.
We are on a journey with the Lord.
And it's a thrilling one.
There's no arriving at one point of all knowledge.
Some of us are confused by that.
We think, well, when I know enough about this thing
that I'm supposed to be talking about, then I'll launch.
If you're waiting to know everything,
to experience everything, you're going
to be waiting for a long time.
Because you're constantly learning.
You're constantly increasing.
You're going to be going from glory to glory in the Lord.
God is continually redeeming your old life,
your old way of thinking, your old habits.
And he's transforming you into the new true you in Christ.
He's making you more and more each day
through encountering and experiencing
and being in relationship with him who you already
are in Christ.
You're just catching up.
You're becoming more aware.
And here's what's so awesome.
Any place where redemption has occurred in your life,
you now have the authority to restore in others around you.
This is the treasure of Isaiah 61,
that prophecy that Jesus read when he stood up
in the synagogue, read about himself,
read about us who are now one with him.
God has redeemed our ashes.
And he has given us beauty.
So now we can be that for other people.
He's given us the healing oil of joy instead of mourning.
So now we have that to give away to others.
So what gets redeemed in you empowers
you to restore people and regions and countries
and digital landscapes and screens all around you.
This is how we get to experience and live out that promise
that I mentioned yesterday in John 4, 17, where it says,
as he is, as Jesus is, so are we in this world.
So think about this, OK?
Every circumstance you face, good, the bad, the ugly,
is a catalyst for redemption in you and restoration around you.
So here's the clarifying question.
What has been redeemed in you that you want
to restore in those around you?
Maybe it's like me.
Maybe it's peace.
Maybe it's a particular mindset.
Maybe it's physical healing.
Maybe it's wholeness in marriages and family.
Maybe it's bringing kingdom culture
to your specific industry, like the marketplace
or entertainment or education.
Maybe it's freedom from addiction or trauma.
What is your testimony?
What is your breakthrough?
What is your journey with the Lord?
What prophetic words have been spoken over you?
What scriptures and promises just
resonate within your spirit every time you read them?
What do you get excited talking about?
What do you feel like you are just
empowered by the grace of Jesus to show up and help people with?
There is a message in the answers to those questions.
And it's a message you've been given authority to deliver
because it's not theory to you.
You have tasted and seen the goodness of God,
and you are walking in newness of life in those areas.
And this is the way that you partner with God
in revealing his heart to creation.
That's what Jesus did in John 14 9.
He said, if you've seen me, you've seen the Father.
Jesus came to earth and revealed to us the heart of the Father.
Hey, this is what Father God is like.
And as kingdom messengers, we do the same.
And it's easy.
It is actually easy because once we realize that
and we realize we are one with Christ,
and if it's true about Jesus, it's true about us,
and we put that into practice and we start
walking in that direction, you realize,
you become aware of just how empowered you actually are.
Now, maybe you have another question you'd like clarity on.
And maybe that's, hey, that's great.
I actually have a lot to say.
There's a lot that's been redeemed in me.
But how do I fit that in to a 60-second clip on TikTok, right?
That's easy as well, OK?
I promise.
And I'm going to share a key on how you can do that.
And this key is from my mentor, Graham Cooke.
It's what he taught me.
And the reason I'm bringing up Graham today
is because it came up yesterday in my two old.
There was a couple of comments.
Am I too old to be on TikTok?
Am I too old to be online?
Am I even relevant?
I have learned so much by being mentored online
through Graham Cooke's messages.
And he's a spiritual father to me.
I'm a millennial, so I'm younger than a lot of you.
And you guys might not think that you're relevant
showing up in my screen, but let me tell you something.
I am so grateful that Graham didn't think he was too old
to be online.
Graham's been in ministry for over 40 years
and he's really pioneered a lot in the digital space
as far as discipling people online through their screens,
me included.
I consider myself really a product of Graham's mentorship
through online mentoring,
listening to his message over and over again on my screen.
You are not too old.
We need more spiritual fathers and mothers online.
How do we take the message
and put it into the 60 second clips on TikTok?
The key is found in Isaiah 61.
In Isaiah 61, there is a major provision given to Jesus
that empowers him to counter every negative.
When he was walking on earth,
this was the provision that Father God gave to him.
So in Isaiah 61, I wanna read it.
I gotta find it.
I should have marked it.
Have you ever like, absolutely,
I had a dream one time that I couldn't find Romans 8
and it's like my favorite.
Huh?
I'm here.
Oh, it's up on the screen.
Perfect.
But I'm gonna read it out loud.
I'm gonna read specifically Isaiah 61 verses three and seven.
Okay?
So in verse three, it says,
and to provide for those who grieve in Zion,
to bestow on them the crown of beauty instead of ashes,
the oil of joy instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor.
And let's jump over to verse seven.
Instead of your shame, you will receive a double portion.
And instead of disgrace, you'll rejoice in your inheritance
so that you will inherit a double portion in your land
and everlasting joy will be yours.
Five times in two verses,
Jesus and us were given a major key
and it is the word instead.
Instead.
It means in place of, as an alternative to.
The key here is that God never works on our negative.
We are new creations.
The old is dead.
We live in the instead.
Instead of working on our negatives,
he changes it from a negative into something powerful,
beautiful, and joyful in him.
So as an example, my problem, anxiety and panic.
Simplified, that was my problem, anxiety and panic.
The breakthrough, the instead, peace.
Not just any peace, perfect peace, his peace.
Not just the concept of peace, the promise of peace.
Okay, not just the word peace,
but what the word of God says about peace.
John 14, 27, John 16, 33.
Those became anchors for me.
In John 14, 27, peace is a gift.
Wow, peace is something I can receive.
I don't have to strive to earn.
John 16, 33, in this world, we will have trouble.
But in him, we have peace in this world.
We're covered.
Even in times of trouble, even in times of chaos,
peace is permanent within us.
And then in Isaiah 26, three, my favorite,
says, Lord, you keep in perfect peace
the one whose mind is stayed on you because they trust you.
And that word stayed, it means lean on, rest upon.
And so when I read that and began to see
the meaning of that word, I saw a posture
of leaning on, resting upon the Lord.
And so the messages that I share in my channels
are not just about the concept of peace,
it's about the promise of peace.
And I show up, and what I do with my message
is that they're all about emboldening people
to take a posture of perfect peace, a posture of trust.
So what's your instead?
And this is not, guys, just like yesterday,
we're not gonna spend the next five days,
next four days figuring out our message.
This is a fun treasure hunt.
This was not something where I sat down for an hour
and it just like, I was like, this is what it is.
This is what I have been honing and sharpening and discovering.
covering more of and experiencing, encountering more,
the more that I've showed up on the digital landscape.
It started with the testimony and the breakthrough.
It has become even more.
Multiplication is the only math the kingdom knows.
So as we start to step out, there's so much more to come.
So in the content strategy portion of our worksheet today,
we're gonna spend a little bit of time
choosing that instead for your messages.
What is the instead?
It's not this.
I'm not focusing on the problem.
I'm not focusing on the negative.
I am inviting people in to experience the instead
that the Lord has promised.
And so there's some prompts for you in the worksheet
when you do that later today in the session
that's gonna help you gain some clarity,
even if it's just an ounce of clarity
on what your instead is and how you can begin
to share your messages within those 60 second clips
on TikTok.
Okay, so,
Bruce, are you ready?
All right.
Bruce is just taking notes.
He's just over there taking notes.
It's so good.
That's awesome.
So that's great.
So that is gonna be just kind of helping you guys
focus in your message.
I want to jump into some of the technical side of things
as far as creating your first recording.
Cool, so this is part two of today's session
and we're gonna be talking about how to record
your first TikTok post.
Okay, so we're hearing,
and I know we're gonna throw a couple things at you,
but we're keeping it really simple
so you guys know exactly what to go do
in the homework later today.
You're gonna focus on your message.
We're gonna record some episodes
and then we're gonna demo some of this
right after this session.
So one thing I just wanted to illustrate here
is what we call the creative rep cycle.
So we have this concept in our membership
that we teach is that these are creative reps
that we have to do over and over and over
and it gets easier and easier and easier.
I saw someone in the comments made a joke
that they haven't heard Lindsay say the word yet
in all of her content.
That's because she's just been doing this
over and over and over and she can write her script
and present to you guys in just a very professional,
cause she's been, she's done almost 200 episodes in posture.
So this, it gets easier as you go through it.
So these are the four kind of stages
that we like to think about.
There's the planning phase,
so planning is you're just kind of getting your script idea,
you're jotting down some bullet points.
Maybe you're spending some time with the Lord,
just finding scriptures and kind of gathering things,
getting your thoughts together.
The produce phase is where you're actually
hitting the record button.
You're picking up your phone, you're recording
and you're creating that clip.
And then you actually have to publish it, right?
You have to share it.
I mean, just actually put it up online,
put it into the digital landscape.
So maybe there's a little bit of editing
or things we're gonna do.
We're gonna talk about all that tomorrow.
And then there's the promotion phase,
just getting it out there
and letting a lot of people come find it.
And then guess what?
Go back to the plan phase, produce, publish, promote.
It's like you're going to the creative gym
and you're doing this over and over again
to work on muscles.
Now, sometimes, some of you like may not
have ever done this before
and every step will feel maybe a little bit harder,
but you can do all things in Christ and it will happen.
We're gonna keep it very, very simple in the beginning
and you can just build these muscles over time
and you can add more to it as you go.
I think the one thing that we wanna help you guys with
is not to be overwhelmed in that now I'm on TikTok,
I gotta be on Facebook and YouTube
and I'm gonna create a podcast.
I'm gonna do these like seven different platforms.
You don't have to do that.
This challenge is all about getting on TikTok, okay?
That's the only focus, keep it simple
and just practice these things one at a time.
Maybe a couple months in, you may say,
you know what, I just feel like this is so easy now.
I'm gonna add like another piece to it, okay?
So just take it one step at a time, you can do it.
So that's the creative rep structure we have.
And then I wanna sort of kind of break down
the anatomy of a TikTok post.
So as you guys know, there is a 60 second limit,
especially when you start.
There's also, I think now you can go to three minutes,
but for the sake of this challenge,
we're gonna keep things to 60 seconds and keep it short.
And you're really just saying one thing
in each of these episodes.
You're not really getting into like a four point,
you know, sermon on like this whole concept.
You're just sharing like one quick encouragement,
one quick instead, okay?
So you have a grand total of five seconds to hook someone
into watching the rest of your episodes.
The first, that's statistics.
So the first five seconds, we refer to that as the hook.
You need something that grabs people
and kind of hooks them into,
I'm not, you know,
or I could just scroll onto the next thing.
So we're gonna talk a little bit more
about how we can put in some texts
and do some editing and stuff tomorrow.
But for the sake of today's exercise.
All you have to worry about is the content.
You need one power statement that just grabs people.
They're scrolling, they're scrolling, they're scrolling.
They hear you say this one sentence and it hooks them in and it lets them, Hey,
actually, I'm going to kind of like stick around and watch the rest of this.
So for the next like section of your episode, um, you have the process.
So explain kind of what that, so you can make a statement and then you can take
30 to 45 seconds and explain what that is.
So maybe you could say, um, and I've got some examples here.
We're going to get into this, but like, this is what Jesus thinks about peace.
Like that's a hook.
Oh, cool.
I want to, cause you haven't told them what he thinks about pieces.
You just said, this is what I'm about to tell you is what Jesus thinks about
peace and you're like, Oh, cool.
So I stick around and then you can explain the answer to that and then have
something at the end that's kind of the payoff, like, so today take this posture
of peace and you know, something you could get it like, yeah, Lindsay's
going to write the script.
I'm not writing the posture script.
So, um, so that's, that's the thing, the hook, the process and the payoff now
don't, this is not like exactly down to the second, but you need within those
first five seconds is the hook.
And then the process can be kind of fluctuate and that last like payoff.
It doesn't have to be a total of 60 seconds.
It could be 30 seconds.
It could be 40 seconds.
Um, but just that main thing we want you to focus on is that first hook.
Okay.
Um, so to help you guys out, what we've done is we have created, um, 10 different
hooks for you to use for your kingdom message.
These are specifically for kingdom messengers.
Um, our team, I sat with Isaac and Lindsay and we kind of put together, um,
10 kind of power statements that we think would do really well when
you're creating your content.
So, as I said, we're going to create these templates for you and you
can just drop in your contents.
Let me kind of click through this and I'll, I'll show you what I mean by this.
Now I'm going to show you the first six, the other 10 are going to be in the
worksheet, which you can grab in a minute.
Um, so let's just show these.
So this is, like I said, this is what Jesus thinks about peace.
This is what Jesus thinks about parenting.
This is what Jesus thinks about marriage.
Um, and then here's one verse that changed how I thought about, and then
insert your niche, parenting, peace, you know, education, being a pastor,
being a worship leader could be anxiety.
How I thought about anxiety.
Number three is like, I bet you didn't know this about Jesus and
then just have something right there.
And there's three things that happened to me after meeting Jesus.
And then you could kind of list, like, I fit, I knew who he was, that he was,
you know, he was good.
He was this, you can kind of, you know, build around that.
And then three scriptures to read the next time you're feeling anxiety, you
know, pain, you know, depression, pick your, pick your niche, pick your, pick
the, the instead that you want to hook in there.
So, and then pray this when you're dealing with something blank,
you know, anxiety, whatever.
Um, so to help you guys, we're going to get, get those two.
They're in the PDF.
They're all 10 of them.
There's a couple more in there.
Um, we're gonna get that to you.
And it's going to look like this, actually have it up here.
Um, so yeah, so we're going to have, um, all 10 of those.
You can go and use those and change them.
But this is mainly just for that, that power statement, that hook that kind of
grabs people and causes them to watch the rest of your, um, your episode.
So we are going to ask that you guys do three, three videos with this.
You can pick any of these three.
And I do want to kind of take you guys through some very simple examples.
I don't want you guys to overthink the production of this or all
the different aspects of it.
You're going to be keeping it really, really simple.
I put together just a couple of, a couple of examples from TikTok.
Um, these are just two different, uh, kingdom messengers that I found that
were, I just thought was, was really cool what they were doing.
And I just want you guys to see this.
And we've included these, um, hooks, the, uh, the two examples I'm
showing you, um, in, in the, the list of prompts.
So the first was this account here.
Um, and, uh, she has 480,000 followers.
It's crazy.
Um, and 10.6 million likes.
And this example that I'm going to show you here, um, has 85,000 views.
And so I want you to just to kind of look here, what she's doing is she's taking
her phone, she's pointing it at her Bible, and then she's pointing and reading a
scripture.
I'm pretty sure every single person on this call in the next five seconds could
have a scripture that they've highlighted in their Bible, that they could take
their smartphone.
You don't even have to see your face on the, on the screen.
You just film your Bible and read the word, the verse.
Okay.
I think you guys could do that.
I think that's, that's super easy.
So let me show you this example of her.
I'm not going to do the whole thing, but just a couple of seconds.
Read this verse with me, wait and trust the Lord.
Don't be upset when others get rich or when someone else's plan succeeds.
Don't get angry. Don't be upset. It only leads to trouble. It is better to have little and
be right than to have much and be wrong. So many times we can look at the world and the
people around us and begin to...
Awesome. So she just essentially gives her thoughts about it. She reads the verse and
then she says a couple things about it. So I think all of you guys, you see how easy
this is? And that's a whole video. It's a couple of verses, like one or two thoughts
and you're done. And the hook is just, hey, read this with me. That was the hook. Like,
read this with me. Oh, I need to read it. And that view, I think why this works so well
is visually people know that moment when they're picking... I've got Lindsay's Bible right
here. It's got this highlighted verse. That sight for Christians is just such a familiar
visual reference. I think that just helps stop the scroll, that you see that reference
of some kind of point of view of looking down into a Bible. So that's a great one. You can
totally borrow that and use that for one of your videos.
So I'm going to show you another account. This was Andrew Carter. He has almost 900,000
followers, 24.3 million likes. And this video, I think, has 74,000 views. And I just want
to show you guys, I want you to see the production quality here. This just looks like a video
that your friend could have shot and sent it, texted to you. This is very, very basic.
It's not produced. It's very raw, but the content is what shines through. It does nothing
to do with your lighting, your sound. I mean, we need to be able to hear you, but not need
production or any of that. So let me show you this example from Andrew.
Let us interrupt your scrolling for just a minute and share the Word of God with you.
You guys, in Matthew chapter six, verse 24, it says, no one can serve two masters. Either
you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise
the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
You see, following Jesus should not be a contingency plan. We should follow him out of a love and
a reverence for who he is and what he did for us on the cross. So set aside all distractions.
Stop following what this world is trying.
Cool. So, and it goes on for maybe like 10, 20 more seconds, but you guys see that he's
in his car. Like he's not in a studio. He's like, I mean, this is cool. Like we have a
little studio here, but he's just sitting in the car. And that is a great hack because
the, have you guys ever noticed, like if you're having a conversation or if you ever listened
to anything in your car, it's just, it's got all the soundproofing is kind of built in.
So you guys, if you can go sit in a car, you don't drive and do this, but sit in the car
like, and just film, it'll sound really good. And it just, it's that much more casual. It's
easy to watch that because it feels like you're just kind of hanging out with them in their
car. It's not overly produced. It's not this like commercial where you're trying to like
sell me anything or any of that. So, so that's great. So those are two kind of big accounts
that I saw. So I thought what would be cool since that may be awesome, but you may be
wondering like, okay, so like, how do I do that? Like I don't have 900,000 followers
just yet. So I wanted to just highlight two of our Kingdom Messenger members that have
done this as well. So I'm going to highlight TJ. I think she's on here. I think I saw her
somewhere in the comments. And she has 172 followers and 2,800, almost 2,900 likes.
I mean, I just want to show you this example of this episode. And I think this episode, this,
I keep going, actually, the video has about 1,400 views, I believe this video.
Hi, how are you guys today? I just wanted to come on and just talk a little bit more
about the scripture that I shared yesterday. Better is one day in your courts, man, that just
really hit me yesterday. Better is one day in his courts than a thousand elsewhere.
And I feel like it's an invitation to you to me to draw closer to the Lord to recognize
His goodness. Cool. And so that's just so simple. I just wanted you guys to see how easy this is.
Just mention the scripture. She's just sitting on a couch. It's not overly produced. But it's
just very relatable. So let me show you one other one. So we have Brennan Lee, who are in Australia.
I think we got some Australians tuning in, even though I think it's 7am where you are. So they
have almost 1,200 followers. And they started their TikTok a couple months ago, like I think
maybe in October, potentially, I may be wrong, but they have, that is not the right thing there. So
almost 1,200 followers and 5,000 likes. And so I just want to show you, they took a clip
of an interview they did on Zoom, and they just uploaded to TikTok and just trimmed it. And it
was just very simple. I would say every young person who's been in care has got more resilience,
more tools.
more capacity to deal with complexity, to deal with change,
to deal with life, than probably 90% of kids that grow up in sort of well-supported families.
Like seriously, they are our superheroes.
Cool. So very raw. This is just a Zoom call. It's just like a back and forth.
Yeah, their who is people who are leaving foster care,
and very specific to where they are in Australia.
So those are some good examples. I just want to show you that.
So we're going to practice this now.
We're going to have Lindsay come in here and record a TikTok for you guys.
And then after this, we're going to take that video and we're going to post it tomorrow.
We're going to have Isaac come in and take her video and post it to her TikTok account live for you guys tomorrow.
So you guys can see the entire process end to end.
So we're going to record it today and show you guys how to do that.
You guys are going to go off and record it after this session.
And then tomorrow, we're going to post these videos. Okay?
Oh my gosh. I'm actually kind of nervous to do this in front of everyone.
Cool. It's okay.
That's okay. We're pioneering together.
All right.
So let me grab this, and then we're going to take some questions.
Okay, so after we do this little demo, we'll take a couple questions.
I'm just going to pull up Zoom here real quick.
All right.
So, all right.
Are you ready?
Okay, so just to kind of show you guys how to do this, I'm going to share my screen here.
And let's see here.
So you're going to be able to see my screen,
and then you will also be able to see Lindsey's kind of our camera up here.
So hopefully this makes sense.
And all you're going to do is go to your default camera app here.
So I'm going to let you hold it.
Okay. Hey, guys.
So we're going to go through a few things, like technically.
Let's get that angle.
No, I'm just kidding.
So I'm going to kind of help get a good sort of position of where to place the camera.
Yes.
And then Lindsey's going to talk to the camera, and she's going to just share her content.
So one thing you want to do is this.
You can see like when she goes down like this, that just looks a little bit scary.
Looks like I'm talking down to you.
And this just, so what you want to do is get the camera,
which if you're on a smartphone is going to be at the top part of your phone.
You'll see there's a little dot there.
And you actually want to not look at yourself.
That is hard to do.
This will take some practice, I promise you.
So what you're going to do is we're just going to move her camera up.
Sorry, I'm going to, can I position your hands?
And then, and she's kind of tilting the camera down just a bit.
And then, so look at yourself, and then look back at the camera.
It's very subtle, and it doesn't quite make a huge difference as much as it could.
But yeah, you could be looking down and look at, and again,
we're also placing her eyes about a third of the way up.
We're not doing this, right?
We're doing kind of like that, right?
And we're not, we're not cutting off her face, something just like that.
A little bit of space, not too much space at the head room.
But, because we're going to leave space underneath.
Later tomorrow, we may put some text, okay?
Right under where, yeah, right there.
And so, that's good.
So the other thing is we have some studio lights in here,
and so we feel like that's cheating.
So I'm going to find a really quick way to turn that light off.
And then we're going to make this a little more realistic.
And hopefully it's not going to look terrible.
Okay, the studio light's coming off.
Okay.
Okay, so I'm going to open a window.
Okay.
I'm going to open a window here.
That's probably right.
And it will adjust.
Okay.
So let me just kind of come around to you here.
Okay, so now I know our camera is super bright,
but I'm looking at Lindsey's camera here.
Now you got some sun on you, so let's just kind of turn.
So what you want to do is kind of, you don't want to be direct sunlight.
See how bright this is, like kind of down here?
It's just sunlight, it's just all blown out.
So maybe we'll just zoom in a little bit and kind of crop that out.
And all we do is we have this big window,
which is a great light source for the first few seasons of Posture.
We just used a window.
Just right in front of a window.
That was the lighting.
And then every time a cloud came behind the window.
Shadows across my face.
It just would get really dark and then it would get really bright.
And if you kind of fast forward in the first few episodes of Posture,
it just gets like bright and then super dark and then bright.
And it still worked. We still launched.
And people still watch.
And they still got breakthrough.
Nobody seemed to care about the lights and the shadows.
Awesome. So if you're ready, let's break it up a little bit.
Trying to think of a hook.
No, not the hook. I've got the hook.
Trying to think of the payoff at the end,
like just where I'm kind of ending it.
And I'm going to step away, I don't need to be in it.
Okay.
We're just going to try it, maybe we'll do a few takes.
Yeah, this is real.
So we may take a few takes.
Okay.
All right.
Just keep me out of it.
So I have to hit record, right?
You do.
And I've got to hold this thing and, okay.
Try to drop the sunlight off.
Yeah, the sunlight.
Okay, where do you want me to stand?
That's good.
Okay.
Jesus never promised us a perfect life, but he did promise...
Okay, I got to do it again because I didn't say it.
Okay, ready?
PPP.
Jesus never promised us a perfect life, but he did promise us perfect peace, even in the
middle of an imperfect life.
When I realized this, it changed everything for me.
When I realized that Jesus promised peace, I asked him, Lord, if you promised it to me,
where is it?
Where did it go?
And I heard him say, I'm right here.
And that was when I realized that peace was not a calming feeling.
He is a calming presence that promises to never leave us nor forsake us.
So if you want peace today, don't go looking for it out there.
Look to him in here and ask him to reveal himself to you today.
Okay, that was pretty good.
I'm going to be honest.
I was hoping that I didn't have to do more takes than that.
I think I was shaking quite a bit.
But that's okay.
That's what we're going to publish, guys.
We're not going to retake it.
Yep, that's it.
That's what we're going to publish.
Cool.
And I want to just show one thing, a couple things that Lindsay did there.
So she hit record, okay?
And then waited like one, two, and then just started speaking, okay?
Just give a little bit of extra time there.
You may need to just gather your thoughts and then start.
You can trim that off when we do the editing tomorrow.
And the other thing she did is she finished, she smiled,
she held it for one, two, three,
and then she kind of picked up her phone and hit stop, okay?
Because what you don't want to do is kind of end and then kind of reach
for the phone to hit the stop button.
Just give it a second.
A little bit of extra storage on your phone is not going to, you know,
hurt anything.
You can just take it and we'll edit it later tomorrow.
So that was awesome.
I think that was great.
Lindsay did not have a teleprompter for that, by the way.
This was just, you just did that.
So that's great.
So take some time, write it out.
I think what is helpful is to take,
and maybe you can speak to some of the content side of just getting your
thoughts together.
Well, I mean, obviously I knew that we were going to do this exercise.
I was trying not to prepare too much, but obviously I knew we were doing it.
So don't be discouraged if it like takes you a second.
What I like to do, and everyone's different.
Some people like to use outlines and bullet points.
I like to write things out word for word.
So I've been doing this for a while now.
So I had some,
some sound bites and some hooks already in my tool belt, so to speak,
because I've been speaking about this for a long time.
But, you know, I know a lot of you guys are having,
maybe you're not teaching like on a stage,
but maybe you're teaching in a discipleship group,
or maybe it's just things that you're finding yourself saying in
conversations as you encourage and build people up all the time, right?
Like maybe it's,
it's just phrases and truths and scriptures that you just find yourself
sharing a lot when you share your story or when you're encouraging people.
So think about those things as you're working through the worksheet today.
And you're thinking about the instead you probably have a lot of,
of a lot of things in your, your tool belt already.
So write those down.
And if it's helpful for you to write out kind of word for word of like,
okay, if I was going to talk for 60 seconds,
this is what I want to say or do bullet points.
Like it doesn't have to be off the cuff.
And the beautiful thing is, is we're just recording today.
So take like, if you, if you want to stop, start again,
what we're not doing is trying to get it perfect.
Like I know that I want to go ahead and shoot that again,
but I'm not going to,
we're not trying to get things perfect because that will again be this,
it'll be this analysis paralysis that we'll get stuck into and we'll never
want to like throw it out there.
What we're,
what we're doing is we are just putting into practice this planning,
producing, publishing, promotion, creative rep.
And we're practicing within that produce mode of, okay,
if I'm going to pull up my phone and just go ahead and speak, like I'm,
I'm practicing kind of hitting under 60 seconds.
So like, let that be like the thing that you're practicing today.
And I'm in saying it.
And then as you kind of get into that rhythm,
then you can put something else into practice.
Like, okay, I'm going to practice the eyeball thing, you know,
looking into the camera, not looking into the screen.
And then, so,
cause I think what we try to do is we try to get all the things right.
And then it's never right.
It's never perfect.
And then we just like get very discouraged.
Yeah.
And I would say, so some great ways to build habits with this is to watch.
Like when you feel like you've got it.
take, sit there, hit the play button
and watch it all the way through.
It is so painful, as you guys know,
to listen to your own voice.
It's really painful to see yourself.
It's just how we are.
Maybe not for all of you.
Maybe not all of you,
but I just say it takes a little bit of discipline
to say, okay, I'm gonna sit,
I'm gonna watch this all the way through.
Because what you'll notice is that you may,
when you're talking,
you may just like kind of glance off here for a while,
but now you're losing eye contact.
It's like little things like that,
that you'll notice when you watch it back.
And you just wanna kind of maintain that eye contact,
looking straight in.
So little things like that.
And we're going to create these videos.
We're gonna give you guys a bunch of feedback
while after you post it.
So on Friday, Monday,
we're gonna, on our last day,
we're gonna have Isaac come on and like critique
and do some audits on your content
and then give you guys feedback.
And Lindsey will help from the content side.
Isaac's gonna help from like the, you know,
tagging it and getting the hook right.
So that's all great.
We are gonna give you guys the worksheets here.
So you can go in and grab that.
Let me see if I have my worksheet here.
So yeah, grab that.
Our team can drop it in the chat.
Yeah, it's just bit.ly slash TikTok dash worksheets.
Should be in the description if you're watching on YouTube,
but it'll be posted every year here in a second.
And then we're gonna take a couple of questions.
And then right after that,
I didn't even announce what we were doing
as kind of the grand prize or not grand prize,
but the prize today.
And that is we are giving this light kit away.
We're gonna give two of these lights away.
This is actually on my Amazon wishlist,
something that I wanna get in a little bit.
We don't have this one just yet, but this is super cool.
And we're gonna give that away to two people.
It's about $170 for this little kit.
And this will make it be a game changer for you
for your later episode, like clips later in the weeks.
Not your first three videos for this week.
Cause we can't say, well, I don't have lighting yet
because I just turned the lights off and I used the sun,
which hopefully everybody here has access to.
And then, you know, and that's great.
And if you can't find a good spot in your house
or you don't have like go into nature,
like just make sure you're in the shade.
Don't be in the direct sunlight where you're squinting,
but go for a walk and just while you're walking,
just film it and talk to the camera.
All that stuff works really well.
So you wanna take some questions
and then we'll do the prize?
Sure, so go ahead if you're in the Zoom with us,
if you have any questions, you can raise your hand.
I see Janice, I see your hand raised.
So if you'd like to go ahead and,
can she unmute herself?
Hang on, she will in a second.
Hold on, we're just gonna get that.
Yes, you can unmute yourself.
Okay, you should be able to now.
Okay, can you hear me?
Yes.
Okay, that was beautiful.
Like all of your posts are.
But I noticed as you were holding the camera,
as you were recording,
it looked different than how it appeared on TikTok.
TikTok, it looked like you were looking directly
in the eyes of your audience.
But as you were recording, it looked,
it didn't look that way.
So I know Bruce just demonstrated
on how to hold the camera
and I was trying to practice as you were doing that,
but somehow it's kind of, it's like off.
So how do we get it where it doesn't look
like you're doing this?
Yeah.
Yeah, and there was no script on there.
So where you're actually like reading.
So I think part of it is just to not be distracted
and kind of, it's almost like
you're telling someone something.
Like you wanna look right into their eyes
and just maintain that eye contact the whole time.
So it's harder for me if I'm holding something.
So I like to prop,
like if I'm using my phone to record something
or an iPad, like you can prop it up with some books,
get it at an angle where you're looking directly in.
And that kind of takes like one less thing you have to do
while you're recording,
which is like hold it and keep it steady.
So that's like, and it does,
like you can get tripods on Amazon for your phone
or your iPad, but just use what you've got.
Like use some books, use a bookshelf
and that will help you kind of maintain.
And then again, you're just looking,
I don't, you probably can't see it,
but this is an iPhone.
So the camera's here,
but we have a tendency to wanna look at ourselves
on the screen.
Okay.
But you wanna look away.
There's a lens and I'm guessing it's similar
for other smartphones.
Yeah, absolutely.
And it just takes practice as far as like
keeping your eyes there.
Yeah, cause your natural tendency.
Cause you're wanting to look at yourself.
So that's where,
and let's just talk about taking lots of takes as well.
Yeah, guys.
Well, for my episodes that I record,
I record, you know, full podcasts
that I put on YouTube and stuff.
Just, okay.
So I don't know if it's gonna be discouraging,
but it's meant to be encouraging.
I've recorded episode 195.
I've been doing this for almost two years.
It'll be two years in February.
And it took me 61 takes just this past week
to get episode 195 out.
Now, not because I was going for perfection.
There was some life stuff that was happening, too.
I have a nine-month-old, so we had to kind of,
you know, I would start, and there might be
some crying in the background.
I have to start again.
The dog barks.
I have to start again.
You know, life happens.
So what I have to do is I have to disempower
discouragement in that moment,
because otherwise I would have just stopped
on take five or six and thought,
well, if I'm any good at this,
I would have gotten it done already.
Realizing that even though I'm this far
into my journey as a Kingdom Messenger,
there's gonna be times where it's gonna take me 61 takes.
Because I record my episodes in one take.
I don't edit it and splice it together.
So to make it an easier editing process,
I just do it all in one take,
so I'm not splicing things in clips.
So 10 minutes or five minutes,
depending on how long the episodes are
that I'm doing for YouTube.
And it took me 61 takes.
And I was reminded, I've said this before,
so some of our community members will know,
but that is a really meaningful time
because the message, I have to hear the message
over and over again.
It's getting into me.
I'm speaking the word over me.
I'm speaking the truth over me.
So I never, ever allow myself to ever brand
my recording time as a waste of time, ever.
So if I'm there for an hour, two hours, 61 takes,
or just six takes, it is never a waste of time.
That is a mindset that I've had to capture
and stay true to,
because otherwise I would have quit a long time ago.
I would have quit last Sunday when I was recording.
But I just tell myself, the word's getting into me.
This message is getting into me even more.
And none of this is wasted time.
And what I sow in tears of frustration in those moments,
I'm gonna reap in joy.
And every time, guys, every single time,
even when I'm done recording and it's been hours,
and I think, gosh, I hope that was helpful.
There's always the comment,
this is just what I needed today.
And I'm so grateful I didn't quit at take 60.
Yeah, absolutely, so good.
Awesome, and we'll give feedback and stuff
if you guys want to have, if you have questions,
you can drop them in the comments in YouTube.
Our team and Lindsey and I
are both going through all the comments.
I know there was a lot.
I think we're close to a thousand comments
on yesterday's video between YouTube and Facebook,
but we are skimming the comments.
You can ask us questions if you're,
like as you go into it and you start to work later today.
If you're in our Facebook group,
and again, we'll have Isaac with us tomorrow,
but you're wanting some feedback on your videos,
you can drop them in the Facebook group
for some feedback from us in the community.
If you're like, hey, I just want to like get some,
some accountability that I did it,
we'd love to hear feedback,
like utilize that Facebook community.
I think Nancy had her hand up.
Okay.
And then she took it down.
She didn't have it up.
Colleen, I see your hand.
Hi.
How are you guys doing?
Good, so good to see you.
Good to see you, good to be here.
So my quick question is,
is I love the fact that you're giving us a template
to work on.
That's just really good.
So, but what I feel is in my heart eventually is
I feel like my thing is going to be more storytelling.
So how do I do storytelling within that format?
Yeah.
Can you tell the story in 60 seconds?
Okay.
So there's a few things, a few ideas.
I know you're an artist.
So time-lapse, like if you're wanting to do an art piece,
you could share a time-lapse, like a 60 second,
like of making something with script,
like text or encouragement in like a,
you'll see tomorrow as we optimize this video,
we put text and we edit it within the text
and within the TikTok account.
So that's something that you can do.
People do do part ones and parts two,
but the thing about TikTok is
it needs to live within the clip
because people are not necessarily,
they're scrolling, right?
So they might not hit part one before they hit part two.
True.
We'll get into that tomorrow.
Yeah, we'll get into more of that tomorrow.
So I would say, you know,
you just, you have, there's a bit of containment,
which is going, which I don't want you to think
as a limitation, but think about,
okay, how can I flex my creative,
my creative creativity here and being able to tell a story?
And get on TikTok and see some examples of like,
are there other people doing this
and how are they doing this?
Can I structure what I'm doing
around how kind of they're doing it?
I've seen a lot of artists and painters
do some really cool stuff on there.
So, and just look for that.
Just look for, look for painter,
just search for it and start to like,
see what contents.
there because it'll spark something like just remember the like the bible verse thing like
you're like oh man i could do that right now like i it's such a simple idea but it's doing really
well and and isaac's gonna talk tomorrow about like some of that research piece of it um more
for your episodes in the future these ones we want to just have you guys use those prompts and so for
now like try and keep it simple just get it out the door get it on tiktok and that'll be a win
yep sounds good thank you awesome
okay um so i think you want to it's like i think we got questions there was one question sorry i'm
watching the time there was one question um i just wanted to touch on our facebook group yes
and i'm then i've got it's scrolled so fast we're going through comments too it was such a good
question i was like oh i can't answer that um you remember it let's see um yeah hang on um
let's see here's but let's just um
we're gonna skim the comments i want to take some i'm looking for questions that are also
in facebook and youtube i know we're taking some youtube uh some zoom questions but um oh how do
you answer uh issues with like the rain or a cloudy day i think there's uh glenn baptist and then
someone else above had that same question about it being cloudy where you are um actually cloudy
weather makes for the most beautiful lighting ever honestly um unless it's like actual thunderstorm
and like dark purple outside if it's just cloudy or there's clouds it makes for a break because
it's basically is clouds just act as diffusion and they essentially just soften the light so you can
you don't have to be in the shade outside you can just kind of be anywhere um but just experiment
with it and honestly the best way to do it pick up your phone turn it on and kind of just like
walk around you know your yard or walk around the park or something and just kind of find a good spot
that looks good um and again we're not shooting for perfection here we're shooting for about 80
right just shoot for a good solid 80 you're looking for a good a b c would be fine too
we're not really looking for a when we're talking when we're talking about production quality because
honestly content is the king yes um like i said you know there were days where like there were
shadows over my faces but people came to listen and they stayed for the content that i was sharing
not for my incredible lighting yeah um because i'm not a lighting expert and that's not what i
was educating people on i was i was leading them in a different message so unless you're a lighting
expert and you're wanting to share lighting tips lighting is 80 it's not gonna make it doesn't
have to be 100 um someone else also asked if they live in oregon coast and it's usually windy
outside absolutely don't you don't want to be in direct wind that will you know again we're looking
for things that are like hurting the content right it's always come back to the content
if you can't hear what that person's saying or there's music in the background or a siren and it
actually interrupts the flow a little background noise is not the end of the world but it's
something that makes it so distracting where people are now can't hear what you're saying
that's kind of what we're looking for here yeah um so yeah definitely um that's great so yeah i think
that we got any questions if you guys have more questions we will go back in these comments on
both youtube and facebook like i said we'll get all your questions answered if you did have a
question and we didn't get to it um rebecca i see you in zoom no i can you hang on but i
technically haven't got it set that way so okay go for it
um you're still needed okay um yeah my question just had to do i was trying to follow along while
you were doing for um your tiktok as well and i wear glasses so by the time i was able to find a
position where i could put my phone where i wasn't getting the reflection and stuff in my glasses
it would have me looking like up or whatever to get it out so since the production is not supposed
to be as perfect as it might be say like for youtube or whatever should it really matter what's
you know whether or not my glasses have a reflection or should i just be more concerned
with what might be reflecting it and at least make sure it is i mean just how do i address that
that's all i want to ask i can't hear you oh we have a lot of glasses wearers that's a great
question yeah you're thinking about it correctly when you're like is it such a distraction like is
there something in my glasses that people might be looking at instead of like actually listening
then it could be a distraction a little bit of glare is not an issue um there are ways that you
can position like if you're working with lighting you can probably share just like because a lot of
people sometimes try to use a ring light and they put it right in front of themselves and that causes
a lot of glare yeah lindsay and i both uh wear glasses as well so we've we've run into this
what you want to do is just if the light source is close to the camera then you're going to get
that reflection especially if you have a like a light or something that's pointed at you or even
just the sun um so what you all you want to do is move that light source up if you can so our light
is actually like
like, I don't know, eight feet in the air right now.
And it just, it doesn't reflect into anything we see.
You're not seeing a reflection like on the whiteboard
or anything that's reflective.
So same thing with glasses.
And also just kind of like, look down, look up,
look around, make sure that, you know,
you're not gonna move your head a lot during the recording,
but just kind of make sure that light source is up
and just kind of, that way you can just focus
on delivering the content.
And again, this is just something, if you record a lot,
like record it, record it again,
watch yourself, record it again,
you'll fix these issues because you'll see,
you're looking for things that are distracting.
From the message.
From the message, it's all about the content, right?
Awesome.
So we are going to do a quick giveaway.
Yes, speaking of lights.
Absolutely, and I'm going to,
and let's see here, we've got,
we're gonna be giving away this light kit
and we're gonna give it away to two people
and let's do that now.
I think Tamera is on here.
Yeah, I'm ready, I'm ready.
So we, we ready?
Cool, I'm here, okay, guys.
So Mark Zanella, you are our first winner
from out of our Zoom, congratulations.
You can email us at help at kmwsupport.com,
we'll get you all squared away.
And then our next winner is Grace Cora,
who's watching on YouTube, congratulations.
Send us an email and we will get back with you
and get you all squared away.
Awesome, that's so good.
That's exciting, guys.
Congratulations.
Congrats.
So, awesome.
So we, if you guys want a link to this,
I know sometimes you guys are looking
for good recommendations.
I'll drop a link to the Amazon link here
and I'll also drop to our team here,
just a link to all of the gear that we use.
Cause I know that's a question that comes up all the time.
We're not getting into gear in this challenge at all.
You don't need gear, you don't need a light,
you don't need a mic to do TikTok.
The most, some of the most famous TikTokers
with millions and millions of views do not have.
They're just using their phone.
Yeah, exactly.
So keep it, keep it really, really simple
and we'll go from there.
So links are in there.
We'll drop that.
And then there's also this kit line
if you want to look at all of our stuff.
That's great.
What do we want to do?
I'm just watching the time.
We've got a little bit more.
We're going to wrap early a little bit.
Okay.
Yeah, we're going to let you guys,
we're going to give you guys time to go record.
Yeah, it is going to take some time.
I'm telling you that right now,
not to discourage you, but to encourage you.
Like this is not waste of time.
The message is getting in you just as much
as it's getting out of you.
So there's going to be several takes.
You're not trying to get it perfect.
You're focusing on the content
more than the production quality.
If you are in our Facebook group and you're like,
I just need to get out of my head.
Can somebody help me?
Give me some feedback on what we're wanting you to do
is record it and then put it in for feedback.
Don't say I'm thinking of doing this.
Like take action, record it
and we'll get feedback on that video.
But we want you guys to be recording your videos today.
And then tomorrow we're going to be publishing them
and optimizing them so that your who
can find them on TikTok.
Absolutely.
And I'll say as well, guys, do something
that's like those content reps,
do the easiest option you saw today,
which I would recommend pick up your phone
and film your Bible with a highlighted verse.
Just that momentum of creating your first one
and getting it recorded and it being okay,
it'll be so much easier to do the second one.
Okay, don't start with the hard one first,
do the easy one because then it builds momentum
and you can do the second one and the third one.
So you can, I know all of you can go and do that.
You all have a verse that Lord has highlighted
to you recently and you can just highlight
in your Bible and just read it
and then just say a couple sentences about it.
And that's it.
And just open with the thing, hey, read this with me
and then just read the verse.
That's super easy.
You can get that worksheet.
You can check out all of the prompts that we gave you.
And Lindsay had some prompts there
as far as like figuring out your message.
So that's it.
Tomorrow we're back with, we're going to be here
with Isaac, who's going to be joining us.
We're going to dive into some really cool things
about TikTok.
And these are the things that we're going to teach tomorrow
are going to either get you six views or 600 views
or 6,000 views when you post your video.
It's these tiny little things.
They're very easy to do.
You just need to make sure you actually do them.
There's a special formula.
We kept it really simple.
Make sure you have the right hashtag, the right sounds,
different things that you can add,
the right text on your video.
And I'm just going to walk through all of those
and show you TikToks that work really well
and some that haven't worked really well
and kind of show you guys how to do that.
So that's why I want you just to record it,
keep it on your phone,
get the two or three videos you want to have for tomorrow.
And then we will post them together.
Together, we're doing it.
So come ready to post tomorrow.
So thanks for joining us and we'll be back tomorrow, same time, 3 p.m. Eastern, guys.
Good luck recording and again, we'll be in the comments if you guys have any questions
between now and tomorrow.
So see you.
