Hey guys.
How are you guys doing.
Amy it sounded like you had some huge breakthrough.
Yeah, I did. And I'm calling it breakthrough because I just today, I didn't plan on doing another episode, I just need to get up the ones I know the next one I recorded last week.
And
it's just really cool breakthrough I had got some news today that
a man who is a family member of close friends of ours, went to be with the Lord, and
he had a group of very close friends her intercessors and so it was a family member of hers, and, and was just, you know, they were like we were all holding up shields of faith for his healing and he had so much.
It looked like maybe he could make it but anyway, he went to heaven today.
And I was worshiping the Lord, you know, and really just standing in the gap, you know, thanking the Lord for his life and just getting some revelation about just the levels of glory.
The increasing glory that does not fade even his hit the you know the glory of God that was on this man, and just the mantle that that's going to be for his family.
And I was listening to King Jesus, have you all heard that the new album, Brooke Lagerwood album.
I haven't, I've only heard a few songs. Oh my goodness, it's I've just had it on repeat and I was just worshiping the Lord and in the gap of intercession.
And I felt him come next to me, and just like Pat said, he just like shifted the gears in my tears of grief that I have been kind of pent up.
And then I lost my mom.
Like, is there something wrong with me because you know you don't know what your journey is going to look like until you're walking it.
And anyway, and I looked, not even like this but addressed in this not going to record today. And I felt him say go put some makeup on get yourself ready.
We're going to record and I was like, I don't have a script.
And I, you know, just in any way, I pray that it's breakthrough like I've commented for you to marry.
I love that she just goes and and my personality is not like that I like things like written, or I can practice and see. And anyway, so I'm, I'm, I'm not going to claim it as a, you know, this is going to happen every time, because I had just his presence,
you know, I mean it's just, it was very sweet.
Thank you for sharing, I, as you were talking I just had this picture of a foundation, and the foundation was being built upon and I feel like you know you've built a foundation not just with your kingdom channel, definitely with your kingdom channel but just
over your life, the ministry the people that you've poured into, even in private like one on one conversations it's all about this foundation of ministry for you so what you're experiencing now is that kind of this it's like this beautiful castle, sitting
on this very strong foundation and so you being able to wing it though it's not winging it, it's just what it what it is you have a deep well within you have the strong foundation and so what's coming out is all those years, all those seeds so all that you've
learned all that you've grown with Jesus.
And, and I, I think what's really cool is it's, you know, foundations can't often be seen really unless something's wrong you have to, you know, but this is a solid foundation that no one can see but it can be felt the support is felt and now it's going
to be seen by many is that beautiful building.
And it's and I just feel like I do really feel like it's breakthrough I feel like there's all you know your style and everything will continue to evolve, but just being able to turn on and do one take it's like this beautiful building sitting on this foundation
of all the tears sewn all the hard work all the time, all of it so I'm very proud of you.
It'll probably be, you know, a couple of weeks away. I'll be wearing this.
But when you do see it, because I'm not going to point it up to anybody else, but you could
hear like you can, can you see the edge of my, of my, my iPad, like you can just see
the edge which I delete those in a heartbeat, you know, if I see the edge of my iPad, you
know, I've gotten my, my camera up too high.
And there was that, like that little imperfect edge just peeking through the whole time and
I was just smiling as I rewatched it.
It's awesome.
It's freedom.
No longer.
We're moving from frustration to freedom.
I love that.
Well, I received that pathetic word that you just gave me, Lindsey.
I really do.
I mean, I could just go and lay my head down and cry again, so, but I love it and we're
only eight minutes in.
I just want to, before we get jumping, cause I know, I don't think anyone had filled anything
out, but we will take chat about whatever you want to, but I did like, did you want
to just share, well, Lindsey was recording an ad for kingdom messenger TV yesterday.
And I just like not the ad part portion of it, but just some of the concept of like the
multiplication effect.
I thought some of the things you were saying is just a really good nugget.
Yeah.
It was a breakthrough of my own because the script kind of came the week before, meaning
the idea for the script.
And I just then sat down and I did many takes, but I didn't write anything down.
I just kind of let Holy spirit and I get creative with a few different ideas.
But the, the cool thing was we realized, you know, I spend about five to seven hours right
now working on my weekly episode, producing it, recording it, editing it, all that stuff.
But we realized that every week those episodes are getting over 500 watch hours in a week
and a week.
And so that's, that's about a hundred X return on the time investment of, you know, say it's
five hours, sometimes it's seven, you know, we'll call it six on average.
And so, and then I, we, you know, I realized as I was sitting yesterday and we were doing
this ad is like, yeah, you know, there's so many people that have, you know, and me included
part of my testimony was my ministry was always marked by burnout because there's only so
much you can give of yourself.
There's only so much time, but we've been experiencing this multiplication effect through
our King through posture, through our kingdom channel and, you know, a hundred X return
on that time investment.
And like, it's really cool.
And then I realized, you know, I'm preaching while I sleep, I'm sharing the good news of
Jesus around the world, 24, seven because of technology, because once it's out there,
it's being viewed even when I'm, you know, so I felt like it was such a redemption from
the Lord of the way that my ministry used to be marked by just, you know, frustration
and burnout.
It wasn't that I didn't enjoy it, but I, there's only so much I could give.
And then you want to give more and you can't, and then you're just frustrated.
Right.
And then you just, you try to do it anyway, and then you're burnt out and then your family
suffers.
And then, then you, then you grow resentful, you know, because all of the, all the stuff
and the Lord has healed me of so much stuff.
And not only that, but he, through the gift of technology and just showing up every week
and, and being consistent in that, there's been this a hundred X multiplication effect.
And so I just think that's really cool.
It's the same as true for you guys.
Like you guys are preaching while you sleep, you're sharing the good news of Jesus 24 seven
or all around the world without having to get on a plane.
Like sometimes we just think, you know, it's, again, we, we can lose that perspective so
quickly when we're just talking to a screen, but just taking in basking in the awesomeness
of God and like what he's able to do with our, our little bit of effort.
So it was cool.
Yeah.
So that's something we're, we're looking just, we're looking for ways to help explain the
whole idea of kingdom messengers to new people, but at the same time, like we wanted to make
sure that like, as we're simplifying it and getting clear about it, that we can share
that with you guys as well, because it is inspiring.
And I think when you're sitting down to do an hour of work, if you knew that, you know,
this one hour was being turned into a hundred hours of ministry time, essentially for that
week.
It's just incredible.
Like that says, and it's the idea of like in business and in marketing and stuff like
the Holy grail is like running ads, setting up, selling a course or some digital product,
and then waking up and you just having like orders, you know, in your inbox, that's like
the dream essentially.
But like from ministry standpoint, like why not do the same thing?
Like why don't we like be, we're promoting, we're posting all this content, we're kind
of marketing our message out to people.
And just while you were sleeping, you know, I think Hannah Brencher said this in one of
her talks as well, cause she said she remembers like writing posts and she's like, there's
someone who six months from now will be sitting at 3am, like listening to your, uh,
uh, you know, your mess, reading your message, watching your video and
they'll know like, Hey, this is exactly what I needed to hear like tonight.
And so like, you don't know, like what's happening.
And some of these videos, maybe you're posting them.
They're getting like 20 views, maybe they're getting 50 views, but they
could be viewed, you know, six months from now, it's like, you're
basically put it on autopilot.
Um, and you've made all these sort of investments out there, um, to, you
know, to get a return on that as far as like people being impacted.
So I think what was sweet of the Lord was to remind me, you know, like we
talk often about, we're going to leverage the digital landscape to
disciple nations and he's like, I'm, I'm with you in the leveraging, like
I'm leveraging things that you don't even know about it's those messages
that we get, you know, this comments that we get from people that we never
would have met in our day-to-day lives that said, Hey, this is just what I
needed to hear, or, so I just want to encourage you guys, like keep on
keeping on because you're in a divine partnership with father Jesus and
Holy spirit, and they are putting their touch of multiplication and
only in abundance and only the way that they can on what you guys
are sowing into even this week.
And Amy said, we're sowing seeds while we sleep.
I love it.
So we're going to put that on a t-shirt.
Maybe like, I'm going to put it on a pillow case and we're going to sell
that as a pillowcase so in seeds, I love it.
Leanne's joined us and Denise and Monica's here.
And so good to have you guys here.
We, we don't have anyone in the queue today, as far as no one's filled out the
form.
So if you have a specific question or anything you'd like to chat about or
share, cause we're just sharing some good news right now, go ahead and raise
your hand.
And while you're doing that, I would love for Tamara to open us up in prayer
because we haven't even started yet.
We're just getting warmed up.
So the overflow is already happening.
Oh, father, we just thank you.
Wow.
We thank you for your goodness, for your encouragement.
We thank you for your presence.
What an amazing testimony that we've had the opportunity to hear today of how you
encouraged our dear sister to go for it.
To, because you had a message that you needed to get out that, yes, that person
that's watching at 3 AM is going to say, this is exactly what I needed.
So father, we just thank you so, so much that we are in tune with you.
Not to say that we won't prepare and do things in excellence, Lord, but we are
willing to go off the path or go off of our script, so to speak, Lord, if you need
us to do that, if you're calling us to do that at times, Lord, we're open.
We are open.
So we just thank you, Lord, for the strength that you give us, Lord,
because we're all living real life.
We're still going through the ups, the downs, the highs, the lows of life.
Wow.
Trying to share your message.
So, Lord, we thank you that you are with us every single step of the way.
The times when we sit in front of the camera and we feel completely
discouraged because we are on take 20 and we feel like we didn't, we didn't make the
mark, Lord, from the times that we are up on the mountain, we are getting all of
these wonderful comments of how you are impacting people through us and everything
in between, you are with us celebrating and you are with us, encouraging us in
those down times, giving us strategy, even in those down times.
So we just take a moment to say, thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you for entrusting us with your message.
There's so much diversity here in this Zoom call and even within our group as a
whole, and you uniquely touch people through each of us, that's absolutely
incredible that we get to partner with you and touch hearts all around the world.
So we just honor you.
We thank you.
We welcome you.
And you're already here in this session, Lord, to just have your way this
day is in Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
Thank you so much.
Hey, Marian.
I see that hand.
Yeah.
Hi.
Um, I've, I've really been, um, I've been really enjoying learning Canva, but, but
I've also signed up for the vid IQ on the basic.
And it's great, but when I look up the tags,
how to put tags on, I can read all the tags
that were on my old videos,
but it doesn't give me any clue as to how to put something
in and find tags for the new one.
So where do we put that in?
Because I tried different ways and it just didn't work.
And I'm sure it's simple.
Yeah.
So you still do need to search for them and add them,
but did you already go through the vidIQ training?
I've got the, no, I have got the vidIQ on my computer.
I get the link for my YouTube.
So all of that's in there.
Yeah, I did do, there was one session I looked at
for vidIQ, it didn't tell me how to get the tags.
It was everything else, but.
Okay.
Let me get in here real quick to see.
So,
let's see here.
I'm just pulling it up.
Cause maybe I sent you the wrong one.
Moving on.
Let me just see here quick.
So there's a whole process we go through.
So you watched like this video.
No, no, I didn't watch your video.
I watched one on vidIQ.
What?
You have to watch only my videos.
I didn't know.
I'm just kidding.
I don't know.
This is, I'm just kidding.
I forgot you had done one.
I don't know.
No.
Ours has, my video has like the Holy Spirit
flowing through it.
Bruce is obviously in a punchy mood.
I'm just kidding.
Okay.
So yeah, no, watch this video.
It'll, basically it's 40 minutes of me
like going through step-by-step how to do it.
Okay.
And that'll make a lot more sense.
So KMW, level two promotion.
Yeah.
I just dropped a link in the chat here for you.
Thank you.
So.
That's great.
Yeah.
And that'll, if you have questions after that,
then certainly let's jump on.
Okay.
Just in case, because there's quite a few steps to it.
And so.
That's probably why.
Yeah.
It is a little bit, a bit complicated.
And you said you're on the basic plan.
Well, I'm on, I'm not paying for it.
It's the free one.
Okay.
So that, that is part of it.
The one that will, basically it's not very useful
unless you use like the, whatever it's,
I think it's the pro level.
You have to pay for it first.
Yeah.
I think it's like, I think it's like $7.
Do they have a trial that you can try?
I don't know if there's a trial.
I don't think there is.
I've already signed up for the Canva professional.
And I have, I realized that if I start to read
what all of the things are about, I'm learning a bit more.
Yeah.
Other than just guessing.
So I think it's $7 a month for the pro account.
Yeah.
And that's when I would.
You don't need the.
You don't need the boost, which is like 39.
No, just the $7.
Yeah.
Do you think that's worth it?
It is.
Just to get the, there's so much data.
Like basically what it's,
the short version of what's in that long video
is like certain keywords.
There's actually people searching for it.
So you may find a certain video keyword,
like daily devotional is actually being searched
for like 15,000 times each month,
but there's low competition.
So knowing that,
the only way I would even be able to tell you that
is because I used Bit.IQ and I typed in daily devotional
and it tells you like who's searching for it.
And that way you can tag it.
You want, you know,
the goal is to look for videos that,
or keywords that are low competition,
but high volume of search.
Yeah.
And it will tell me that about the videos I've already done.
It will take the tags I put on there
and tell me likely that you can see them.
And in fact, it seems like I've picked ones
that are more likely for people to find.
So-
And that's where you get more traffic to your videos
that way.
But the pro account will let you actually
search for keywords.
So it'll let you, you know,
be a little bit more proactive.
That's the difference.
So it's not my ineptitude.
It's just the fact that I'm looking for it.
Yeah.
There's also one other thing, just curious.
I keep reading these bits about logos.
Is it, do you have a logo?
For posture?
I do.
For anything.
Yeah.
I do have a logo that I,
we use in like my thumbnails and stuff.
but I still use my face and my profile pictures.
Oh, so you don't need to have a logo then?
You don't need to.
Okay.
No.
No, it's not needed.
It's, I got, we didn't have a logo for posture
for like almost the first year.
And then I-
Yeah, it was just a white background
with the word posture in black.
Very simple.
Okay, that makes sense.
Okay, thank you.
We, when we started to do Kingdom Messengers
and other things, we did invest in having,
we hired Russell Shaw, who does a masterclass.
He's, it's in the roadmap.
On branding.
And so he came in and like did a whole brand for posture.
And then we ended up using a lot of that branding
for Kingdom Messengers.
Yeah, we kind of doubled up on it.
Yeah.
I really like what Canva does in that.
I'm really enthralled by having it put my colors in there.
And it's really nice.
Yeah, exactly.
It's something really,
what makes me want to go and do it just for fun, you know?
I love that.
That's great.
Marian's becoming a graphic designer.
I know.
That's great.
And that's, that's why, you know,
just try a lot of these different tools
because sometimes you'll find that and you're like,
hey, not only is this, it's not frustrating,
but I actually enjoy doing it.
I actually have a grandson that is doing this in university.
So I should get in touch with him.
Yeah, you should.
Yes.
He'd be very impressed with you,
making your own branding and videos.
He already is in the fact that I'm on TikTok, right?
That's pretty cool.
Yes.
So awesome.
I think that's all my questions that I can think of.
Cool.
Okay, perfect.
Hey, Denise.
Oh, hi.
There you go.
Sorry.
Hey, good to see y'all.
And thank you, Lindsay, for your last couple of podcasts.
They're very encouraging, especially,
I kind of liked that on that one
that you went over a little bit
because it helped me feel better about when I go over.
Oh yeah, I've been going longer.
Thank you for noticing.
It's been an experiment for me.
Well, it's good.
Actually, it's good because it flows.
It's good.
So I have a question, a couple of them,
just my podcast is sequential
and I was wondering if that's okay,
because like you have to listen to the first ones
in order to get anything.
They kind of build on each other.
And then I noticed there's a place
that you can pick sequential,
but it doesn't let me pick that when you choose.
Cause you know, I'm still doing it just audio.
I haven't had time to learn the video
because we've got a lot of stuff going on
in our lives right now.
So I barely get time, putting it out every week.
I was a day late twice, but I'm still at least doing it.
That's awesome, every week.
Yeah, every week.
So yay.
Yes.
Challenge.
But anyway, that's the part I want to know is,
can you pick, can you choose sequential?
Is it okay to have sequential?
Yes.
So we'll pull up Anchor to show you.
It's-
You were talking about Anchor, right?
Yeah, cause you load it into Anchor.
Yeah.
Right.
And that's kind of your home base.
So it will automatically order them for you,
like based on when you upload them
and when you publish them really.
So your publish date is kind of like one, two, three,
four, five.
What I do with mine is I'll put like the,
so can you see where Bruce-
Yeah, at the bottom here.
Yeah.
So we're using this feature, like season one, episode one.
Yeah.
You did.
Yeah, I've been doing that.
I've been doing that.
So then it automatically-
Go ahead.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Go ahead.
I was just saying, based on you putting like,
this is episode one, this is episode two,
it will order it for you every time by those episodes
and by those publish dates.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
But if you go, scroll down to the bottom there,
to the bottom.
Yeah, I know where it says episode type,
full trailer and bonus.
Yeah.
No, yeah.
And then there's one that says sequential,
but when I clicked on it, it wouldn't let me.
So, okay, you don't have to push that is what you're saying.
It'll just order it.
No, and are you on the mobile app?
No, I was doing it from my desktop.
Okay.
I've never seen that one.
I'm just making sure why it's doing that.
You haven't?
Okay.
If you click on,
What if it's like in the library?
Click on full episode, like where it says full.
I'm trying to see if I can get back to one that's ready.
Okay, okay.
In here, I think you can edit it still.
Yeah.
Replace.
I'm just wondering if you,
See where it says full?
You put, if you click full, does it give you,
it doesn't give you anything.
Okay.
No, it's just clicks.
Oh, okay.
If you want to take a.
picture on your phone, like up the screen when you see it, maybe I can post that in the Facebook
group. We can definitely take a look at it. It may just be a different screen than this one.
And then to add to your, you had a kind of a second question about like, is it okay that
it kind of builds on each other? Yes, it is. I think I would make a point to mention previous
episodes so that it encourages people to go back and listen to previous episodes.
And just say like, if you haven't watched episode three, definitely pause this podcast right now
and go watch, you know, go listen to that and then come back. So I've seen people do that as
well. Like you haven't done this, this next part is not going to make sense. So pause this, go do
that. And I think Susie does a really great job of this in her videos because she often refers back
to what's been talked about in previous episodes and then builds upon that. And so if you want to
kind of see a master as far as segwaying and doing that, watch some of her episodes and see
how she does that. Cause it's very natural and it flows really easily and it doesn't disrupt
the cadence of the actual content. Like she can kind of continues to flow, which is really good.
And make it any time you can make it easy for your users, for your viewers. So in the description
of episode three, just, just make sure that in the description, it's like, Hey, if you haven't
watched episode two, here's a link. So if they're on it, they can just click on the link and be
taken straight over to episode two. So they're not having to go find it and search for it.
Just make it easy. So that's, and you can say like, Hey, if you haven't watched episode two,
I'll I've left a link in the description. You can find that or, you know, show notes or whatever.
Oh, okay. That's perfect. I love that idea. Thank you. And then the other question I had is when you
sign up for the promo video, which I again, haven't had time to do, it says that you have
to sign up for the service to choose a song and pay for it. Is that correct? Or did I get that
wrong? You mean your intro video? Yeah. The intro video. I tried to do it and they say
they took me to some music to pick and then yeah. So he just, he just letting you pick it,
pick the music. He has an account. So he'll, he'll go in and download it. Just give him like
the name of what you're looking for. So he has an Envato and then we have a kingdom messenger
Envato. So yeah, you don't have to pay for anything for that. He'll download it and then
he'll put it into your video and you can use it for everything. Yeah. Okay. And then this,
thank you. This next question is a little bit controversial. So I'm just going to put it out
there because I'm, I'm struggling with it. Okay. So I read in the epic times about TikTok and how
it's owned by a Chinese company and they say they're not, they don't give away your data,
but this whole article is about how dangerous TikTok is and how your data can be stolen.
And then if it's a communist country, it's owned by Chinese government and the Chinese government
tells them to hand over data, they're going to do it. And they have access to everything,
photos, videos, contacts, everything. And that they recommend not using TikTok, you know,
they went on and on and on about different things that have happened in the past. And
there's a whole article on it. So I was wondering, I haven't been in the TikTok
trainings. And so I just, I know he covered something about the safety of it.
And I know you said something, Lindsay, I remember you saying something about
you have to balance it out, you know, with the effect, the benefit of it and the danger of it,
but it just, it just it just seems to me I mean, we want to reach people in all countries,
communist or not, but it, it just seems to me like quite a dangerous thing to do.
So our recommendation, good question. Yeah, it's a good question. It's fair. And we,
we did mention some of it on the training, but basically the way we think about it is like,
there's so many platforms that you can leverage for this, this online mission field. So if you're
like people say, Hey, well, I'm called to go serve people in Afghanistan or Iraq or somewhere,
or Ukraine, even we got pastors, obviously in Ukraine right now, they've been called
to mission to be there. And some people are even, you know, trying to help and go, Hey,
like, that's what they feel called to go do. So they're going towards danger into the face of it,
knowing that it's like, it's, it's a dangerous, dangerous zone. You have to go wherever you,
we say, be led by peace. So if you don't feel peace about it, TikTok's not for you,
like come back to it later. If you want to ask the Lord about it, like it's not for you.
Don't feel like you have to be on it to leverage. It's one of those things that you feel called to
it and you can do it and Lord give you the grace for it. There's a lot of practical things you can
do as far as.
Privacy and all that, which we could probably do like a whole hour long
training on, but, uh, you know, just be smart about it.
Like we don't give Tiktok access to our contacts or stuff.
When you sign up, you can actually turn a lot of the privacy stuff off.
Um, it's, uh, so we, I don't have it on my phone just because it's a distraction.
So that also helps for privacy as well.
So I don't have it, but if there are any photos on my phone or
like, it's just like that doesn't have access to that.
So I have it on my iPad, which is kind of separate.
I just use it for work.
Um, so you can, and you can even use it just on your browser.
And then there's definitely, there's no way through the browser that
they can get access to anything.
Um, the browser is probably the most safe way when you download an app, you are
giving up a lot of, you know, permission stuff.
So that's if you're like very careful.
So there's lots of degrees of like how, um, how you can leverage it and how you
can kind of, what I would say, like distance yourself from, from certain
platforms.
Yeah.
Well, that's good to know.
I mean, they just basically say it's an espionage tool.
It's a Trojan horse and they say, they say, I know, and you don't know who to
believe, right?
Cause they interviewed TikTok and TikTok says, Oh, absolutely not.
Okay.
Let me put it this way.
I would say if you feel comfortable using Facebook, you should
feel comfortable using TikTok.
I would say that there's no difference between TikTok and
Facebook as far as data's go.
So if, so maybe, maybe, maybe you don't want to be on Facebook now either, but
they're the same, like your data's out there.
Um, you're on someone else's platform.
Facebook is a massive money-making machine for advertising.
So they know every little detail about you and your history and work, which
websites you go to and everything.
So I would say it's not, I'll probably even go further to say that it's
not even as bad as Facebook.
Um, so what I would say is Facebook's not owned by China though.
It, I mean, so the way that these servers work is they're everywhere.
They're like, you don't like, even on tribe social, we have servers all over
the world.
Like we have, some of them are in the U S some of them are in Europe.
Some of them are in Asia.
Like they're all over the place because everything's connected now.
It's it's kind of, it's sort of, they're picking on like one aspect of it, but
like any company that has a serious application, like has servers all over
the world that you just have to, because, um, if people, you want to use tribe
social, for example, in Australia, like they can't connect to a U S server.
It'll just be way too slow.
That's like the short version.
So they have to like connect to an Australian server.
So if you want to be in Europe, so we ended up having like all
these servers to manage.
Um, so it's, it's kind of a, like a random tech thing that they're just
picking on because it sounds good on a headline, but it's not like really a,
I mean, big deal, but I'm wondering if we should do a privacy masterclass.
I love that privacy stuff.
I have all kinds of apps on my phone to help with privacy.
And, um, it's just that once you, it's a rabbit hole.
So like, you hear like, oh, tick tock, but if you're using Facebook, if you're
using Amazon, if you're using Alexa, like so much of that is tracking so
much of your data all the time.
So if you want to go down that road, then you should just do it across the board.
Cause it doesn't make sense to be like, well, I'm not going to get tick tock
my data, but I'm going to get Facebook.
Everything I have on my phone.
Um, that's my thoughts, but I'll, we'll, I'll make a note.
We'll, we'll do some, something on that.
If you're a military family and I am, that's a, that's a
completely different thing.
Okay.
Because if you're concerned about them mining data to get to somebody you love,
then you've got to, you've got to be even smarter about it.
And, um, and you know, I know just from where I was last weekend that if it
explodes into world war three, the first thing there there's going to
be a war in the heavenlies first.
And it's going to be over satellites and servers.
That'll probably be round one.
So at that point, that's why I'm really glad for tribe social.
Okay.
But I love that.
I love the point.
And you're right.
We're called to go into all the earth and preach the gospel.
And then the end shall come.
And our messages are going to be out there, um, no matter what.
And you've just got to know whether or not you're called to do that or not.
And then I love the idea of being safe because, um, there's wisdom in that.
But I will say, uh, the Chinese like to follow the military and get their cell phones.
So, I mean, we're, you know, I think China's backing off on this whole
thing with Putin and I, that's a good sign, but we still don't
know where this is going to go.
So wisdom is probably just be led.
I love that.
Be led, be led by peace.
And, um, you know, China needs to hear Jesus, right?
Guys.
It, what a time to be alive.
Yeah, really?
I mean, seriously.
Yeah.
I mean, I, I, I know it can be scary at times.
It can feel very unknown, but that the Lord entrusted us to be breathing air,
walking this earth for such a time as this is pretty powerful.
And so we're cracking, we're in a way we have to crack this code as
kingdom messengers, because this is pioneering, this is uncharted territory.
So I want us to feel in this group, safe to ask those questions,
have those conversations.
I definitely feel like it's worth us doing a masterclass on just personal
privacy because, Hey, we're carrying around these smartphones and they're,
they're smart, right?
So like, let's make sure that we can, you know, build, build up some wisdom
on how to use them smart and efficiently, but knowing that we're going to be
walking into some dangerous territory, some sometimes unknown to us.
I know Facebook was in the headlines a couple of years ago because of this,
people were very upset because things that they didn't know that were being
data mined or being data mined privacy was violated.
I feel like that's just going to be kind of par for the course with these
bigger, like larger tech companies.
And so we have a protector, even when we walk into territory,
we don't know is dangerous.
And so being the first thing we can do is be led by peace, not by angst.
We can always add to, we can always pull back.
Sorry, I'm not getting emotional.
I just, my throat's getting dry.
And so, um, I, but I do guys want, I want you to feel like this is a safe place.
So I really appreciate you asking that question to me.
And so I think it's spurred on a idea for us to do just a masterclass.
So yeah, to me, it's like an equipping thing because if you feel like you have
the knowledge to, like, if you were to go into a, like a danger, like a danger
zone type, like a war zone, you wouldn't just like go in there and, you know,
just have all your stuff like, and then get surprised when you get robbed.
Like you had your iPhone out, you were like flashing, like the fact that
you had money and all this stuff.
So like, if you're going into that, there's, there's training, even if
you're a missionary on like, Hey, don't dress this way, do this, you
know, keep kind of low profile.
Yeah.
There's just things when you go into certain cultures, right.
And same as TikTok, like these are just new nations essentially.
And they're, and they're the biggest nations on the earth, these, these platforms.
And so we just have to learn how to, to leverage, but security and privacy.
If you think of it, like you're doing security for your home, you, the
problem is like people like, I get really concerned about one particular part.
Like, Oh, we got to really strengthen the front door, but then like, there's
not even a back wall, like there's nothing behind you.
So security only works when it's a holistic thing.
And the privacy only works when you're being like touching every area.
So like your phone, your wifi, uh, you like your internet
provider, like all of that stuff.
So we can get into some training, but it's going to get real
techie and geeky really fast.
We don't want it to get discouraging, but it's just that there's
always something as a thing.
Yeah.
There's something to think about.
There's going to be some vulnerability.
That's because there's new tech being developed.
There's new things that are emerging.
So what we don't want you guys to do is get overwhelmed or get
frustrated or get scared because this, these vulnerabilities are there,
but we're protected by the father.
Yeah.
We can show you, um, what we're doing, like, cause we're doing all
this stuff and I can show you like how we have our, everything set up
for our business and home and network and everything, and it was
just sort of like best we try to do.
There's a line that security always comes down to like convenience and,
you know, uh, and then, and first security, right?
Like you can have like 10 padlocks on your door, but it's not practical
to like lock 10 locks, right.
Every time you leave the house.
So it's just like, it's a, there's that convenience thing that we want to make
sure it's not like totally over overdone, but anyway, yeah, well, good topic.
We'll, we'll certainly talk about it right now.
You can, um, it is a little bit slower to use it.
We don't at the moment, but we do have, um, and I'll, I'll, I'll get
some links and some resources.
Yeah.
I don't have them right.
Yes.
Trying to look some of them up, but there's a device that we have.
I forgot what it's called, but basically it kind of acts like a VPN, but it, um,
all your, anything that's happening on your computer or anything that you're
doing connected to the internet is being tracked through the internet
service provider anyway, and so there's some ways to like hide what
you're doing from that as well.
Um, it just depends on like, like how secure you want to be, but I'll, I'll
put some links together so you guys can have all this stuff and I'm happy
to answer any questions, um, on that, but yeah, thank you.
Hey, Amy, I see your hand.
Okay.
I'm just going to loop back to.
Marion was talking about on the bid IQ, which Bruce, I don't think I've watched the bid IQ
video, but I'm going to, and I've just been kind of learning it, you know, as I go
about optimizing and, you know, going back and taking what I have learned and applied it to
previous, you know, episodes and videos. But I was doing that with one of my YouTube shorts
last night. And I'm, I mean, I feel like if you explain this in your video, I'll just watch it,
but the connection between keywords and tags. And I feel like I, I don't know if I'm going
off on a rabbit trail by, by searching those keywords. And I don't really understand the link
between keywords and tags and like, like which ones you choose as keywords when it, when it gives
you some and they're, you know, different colors depending on, you know, the value that they give
them and all of that. So sometimes we, so here they're called tags. And then some other places,
I know the same, I think on a regular video, this is the same, it's like the same editor,
but yes, they have like tags everywhere. Keywords is just, I think we just kind of swap.
When we did our training, we kind of swapped them in and out. They're sort of used interchangeably
because the, you're tagging a video with a keyword, if that makes sense. So the keyword
is Romans 8, 9, but we're, we've added a tag for that keyword. Does it make sense? It doesn't
really matter. Anyway, the point is they're kind of the same thing. It goes up to your tags.
They add it to your tags. Yeah, exactly. And so, and this is what you're talking about,
like the rating and stuff here. Yes, the rate. Yeah. Yeah. Well, yeah. I was talking more about
the number, you know, the number, like some are in green, you know, the, the like.
Oh, you're talking about these numbers, like the three and the one.
Yeah. Yes, yes, yes. Okay. Yeah. Let me zoom in. So yeah, so these numbers are ranking. So right
now, if you went to YouTube and we went just to the top here and we typed in that keyword,
that is how far down this video would appear. I think it was this one.
So obviously these are all Lindsay, but if you go back to this, it's just showing that,
that, that would rank as number the third video. And if you did search for posture of peace,
it's number 27, posture podcast. And if you did this to be new, you have to believe new,
like then guess what? It's number one. Cause nobody's searching.
Nobody's searching for that. And you can see that because.
But this is a little artificial. It was probably like, you're the only one who's getting the
traffic for that, but you know, there's, there's words like Jesus. I would never tag something as
simple as Jesus or Jesus Christ. You want to do something like the piece of Jesus would be better.
Yeah. So the, the different colors of, and then there's also these tags, which are just giving
you like overall score. That's a pretty good thing. I too, I know a lot of YouTubers that
only look at 70 or above keywords. And then they would add those in. So I've already like picked
out all the good ones, but if I, because that score is based off of the low competition,
high search volume. Right. Okay. So what did the green ones mean?
I don't, I mean, if they're green where that would probably be. Yeah. I'm just trying to like,
if you just search for Jesus, see, these are all going to be low scores. Cause there's a ton
of traffic searching for that. So it'd be very difficult for you to get ranked. Everything
on YouTube is about getting ranked. Okay. And it's, vidIQ is also telling you like, how does this fit
based on the, your description that you have in your videos? If you're mentioning the piece of
Jesus inside in a few places and it's in your title and you have a keyword about it, then it's
like a very strong, like, okay, this is definitely what this video is about. But if you just have a
bunch of like kind of generic words, or you don't really have a very long description, it's part of
why we have all the scriptures listed out that we use. By we, I mean, Lindsay. So yeah, that's,
that's it. I'm not sure. Yeah. If you have, again, if you have seen something like that
with the green, take a screenshot. Cause I'm curious.
um what it is you're seeing there okay yeah so if you can take a screenshot of it next time you see
it and put it in the group to show us okay yeah are you talking about that oh she's talking about
the green right there the uh score this like this little yeah it's a number in a bubble this no no
oh yeah is that it's sort of the keywords yeah i think um i've seen green yeah i don't think i
have either but it's on the mobile app it may oh because it's a bit iq doesn't work on the mobile
app it doesn't i mean i can optimize on my mobile yes you can are you going to the youtube app
no i just go to vid iq app and and then i go to optimize
it um so you can are you on like the boost plan no just pro oh i see it is it's just that's so
funny because it's so it's not green on the so don't worry about it basically green doesn't
mean good generally so go with it so what they're doing is like if the score is over 65 or 60 then
it's going green that's all so if you're skimming through them that's all it is why they have a
different color scheme on the desktop versus the mobile i have no idea why they wouldn't just make
them both green but that's the problem so i do have the vid iq app and i'm i'm looking at it so
i see yeah yeah so i probably can do more on my desktop or on my on my laptop which i haven't
done that yeah but if it's working on mobile yeah yeah you can definitely use it
so cool hey monica
hey everybody i had a quick question now just taking advantage that everybody's here i had a
question in terms of preference of consuming a certain type of content so i have my mon
ministries which is mostly prayer and encouragement specifically for entrepreneurs and then of course
i've got my techie side and i ended up creating just because i like creating things sometimes
there's too many of them i ended up creating another kind of mini brand under mon ministries
which is called um happily mon and uh see the word play there with the app so just mostly like
around apps and things like that so yeah so um you only have like nine youtube channels now so that's
i'm like trying to so here's my question based on what bruce just said um the reason why i created
it was i didn't know if it was easier for people to just go and just see things around apps and not
have the prayer and the other things as like a i wouldn't call it distraction but like different
kind of content or does it not matter and i just put it all under mon ministries and mix in prayer
and then the next thing is a nap and then the next thing is you know do people like if you guys were
to go and search for something would that be weird to you or is it better to keep it separate how
would you consume it so we we have this problem with kingdom messengers as you know thinking about
because tech tutorials do so well on on youtube because they're helping people solve a very
specific problem people are searching like how to set up canva and then you've got a tutorial
that shows people how to do it um but we also have like a lot of spiritual stuff content strategy
like theology so there's a there's a lot to it that's that wouldn't fit that audience
um so it may be two different audiences i i think because i i guess if i follow someone like i'm
typically expecting it's kind of what you're expecting to get content wise if you're expecting
to get a certain type of content then you it means you'll subscribe so that's where you may get views
but you may not get subscribers if you're not consistent in terms of what you're sharing
um but if the strategy is to kind of give them what they want so you can give them what they need
you know again it's all comes down to the who is it different who's or is it this one who
that would have it's it's the same who with different needs okay yeah better idea would be
to keep it the same audience but stack them as like more of a funnel so have like all your tech
and sort of general advice things where you're just sharing wisdom on stuff as just sort of out
there as like youtube and everything and then potentially have like a like a community where
you do all the prayer and there's like more that kind of connection happening um
It could be a private Facebook group, it could be as simple as that.
And that's where you share, you can go live in it, you can share stuff,
you can be as you can be as real as you want.
But people can just and it doesn't have to be paid or anything.
It could just be like something you request access to.
At the bottom of all your descriptions of
your tech stuff, you can say, hey, if you're looking for a community,
a faith filled, you know, entrepreneurs that want to encourage
each other with weekly prayer, blah, blah, blah, request access to our group.
You know, and then you just go crazy in the Facebook group and do everything you
want over there and don't have to hold.
I think what I'm always looking for is like what helps you not hold back,
because the worst thing to do is be like torn between like, hey,
I want to kind of help ministry, kind of want to help business.
And you feel like you're not really
doing it if you're just focused on business and you're not really doing it.
You only focus on ministry.
And here we are doing Kingdom Messengers,
which we didn't even know was a possibility for doing ministry and business kind
of all in one. And that was always a thing for us,
like a tug of war that we struggled with because we were in business,
but like we wanted to be serving and our hearts were to help with ministry.
And then we go to ministry and then none
of the cool like tech, like professional strategy and leadership stuff was being
implemented in some ministries we were part of.
And like that, that thing of like, hey,
why can't we just merge these things together?
And then now, like where we're doing now,
like we can just be totally exactly Bruce and Lindsay,
you don't have to hold anything back.
So always set it up in an audience where one, it's like your field of favor,
where like that's where you're called to serve.
And then also just making sure that like when you present,
like you don't have to hold back like, well, I'm going to show them these two
parts of my life and not this one part, you know,
share like everything you can and make it specific.
And that's where like the who's your who thing, like niching down,
like I would like and even niching down to like faith filled entrepreneur female
who are moms of twins, like you could literally go that niche,
which would be like your because you have a lot of experience in that.
And so like anyway, that you could you can't go too specific.
Or if you're sharing and you're also a
grandparent or a parent or your, you know, bring all the aspects together.
I know people like people who have done this or they bring to where like,
I love cooking, but I also want to share Bible verses,
like share some wisdom while you teach people how to cook.
Like, I don't know, like come up with some ideas.
Like, why not?
Like you can just merge some stuff together.
Yeah, I mean, I don't know,
Monica, if you wanted to hear from any of you, if you're doing a poll.
Yeah. I did.
You want to hear anyone else's preferences?
People can jump in.
No, that's awesome, Bruce.
I love that.
And like for me, the biggest thing was like,
do I need to create two separate brands is the thing?
Because, well, it's it's almost like what
my ministries is the is the cover, right, of everything.
But then happily mine would be like specifically the tech stuff.
Yeah, I mean, I this is hard for multi
passionate people because it's like you just want to create another brand.
But I just feel like from a sustaining something that makes.
So, yeah, I was just going to say always go back to like picking your who.
Right. And then figure out because that who
needs tech advice, that who needs prayer, that who like.
So we're like we're serving you guys who are on this call.
But I'm not going to go like make a course
about the privacy stuff because I was just like, I'm interested in it.
But I don't really think I'm not going to like launch my whole like platform of like
Bruce is the privacy person to go like follow.
But here we are.
Like, actually, it turns out like you guys may need some of this stuff.
So like we're going to put it together.
We're going to add that to part of our content.
Yeah. Right.
Because I've I've said this is who the people who are Kingdom messengers who want
to reach people online and this just happens to be one part of it.
And there may be other things as well,
like we're trying to bring in masterclass for legal and other things to help you guys
like have access. So it's not like you have to be in this very narrow content.
But if you're you got to pick that person
you're trying to reach because there's that person is multifaceted as well.
And they have other needs once they are joining.
OK, so basically keep the keep the main the main brand,
but then just have it as like a small branch and not create like multiple.
Yeah. So I didn't have to go create the other
YouTube channel or the other page.
I could just keep it all under one.
Yeah. And it could be a playlist.
Like you could still use that name or like a playlist of all your tech stuff.
Yeah. Yeah.
And OK. Yeah.
And I think because there's more like
community aspects that you could kind of just pick a platform like that,
like Facebook group is where this is happening.
You know, where that's just in your mind.
That way it's kind of at least it's
organized and when you start to do a prayer thing, you know, OK, this is going
to that location, we probably should like also.
I mean, that's a great a little bit more
of an advanced thing, but we probably should think.
help think through like that whole flow and this will come because we're going to talk about funnels
and getting people from like, you know, never heard of you to like following you to eventually
like maybe buying a book from you or buying coaching or coaching or something. Yeah. So
we'll think about that. Yeah. This was really good because I'm thinking about doing like
training praise and worship leaders, piano, keyboard type stuff. And that is still my who,
but it might bring me a whole other audience. So thank you, Monica. That was great.
Oh, good. I'm glad. I'm glad. I'm glad. Thanks guys.
Thank you. Thanks for asking great questions. All the questions have been so good today.
Marion. Hey Marion, I see your hand. Hi, just a couple of questions.
I keep getting all these emails from Envato and all different companies doing the same kind of
things. Yeah. Ones are coming from to connected with you and Envato is right. So you don't need
to sign up for Envato, which you may have done a sign up for a trial or something. And then of
course they're trying to get you. No, I haven't. It's just that's, I think where I got my intro
from was Envato. It was done through them, right? No. They got the music from there. Yeah. I don't
know how that you might have just signed up for their news. Let me ask about that and just see,
I'm not a hundred percent sure of his process. It's like, he does everything I want to know is,
is that free or if I want to do something from that, do I pay for it? So because you have Canva
and you're the professional and you also like using Canva, you can pretty much get everything.
I mean, there's some stuff that may be in Envato, it's not Canva, but Canva is massive,
like has a massive library of music and graphics and stuff. So I don't think you need both.
Okay. That's great. Great to know. The other one is somebody mentioned tribe. Now I've got the
tribe, but I haven't got on yet. And is that something I should be doing or are we waiting
until a later date to do that? Oh, you can do that anytime you want. Okay. Let me just want to
share my screen here. So when you go to the dashboard or the kingdom messenger group,
there's right down there. Yeah. Yeah. Have you filled this out already?
I haven't done anything to do with that. Perfect. So if you fill this out,
there's also a video here from Landrum and I, where we like walked through how tribe works
and how to set it up. Not urgent, like as far as like what to do, it's just something to me
so you can set up at some point. And it basically is like creates a website where you can keep all
your content. Yeah. Well, that's what I was wondering because keeping them on my computer
is getting very confusing. So I thought it might be better if I get the tribe opened and keep them
on there separately. You could. Yeah. And it'd just be like the finished files and stuff that,
and they just get backed up there forever. So yeah. And just yeah. Fill out that form. And
then if you have any questions, we can definitely get help you get that set up. Okay. Thank you.
Cool. Hey, Susie. Hi. Okay. I'm so glad that Marianne brought that up because especially
my tech docs that are taking up space on my computer, I was going to get myself organized
and put them on to Notion. Would be better Notion or tribe social or what? So you can
definitely do either one. If it's just for you to back, like have it. Okay. So I would,
so Notion is great just for kind of content management. So your scripts, notes, thoughts,
all that sort of content strategy is good for Notion. I mean, it's not really, I mean,
if you're on a paid account for Notion, you can get unlimited storage. So you can actually drag
like your files, video files. It's not designed for that to do like large volume of content.
We use Google drive, like for all of our file storage for all posture and kingdom messengers
and our, and our business. And because we're on a business plan, we have unlimited storage there.
So it's just a way we just keep pushing more and more stuff to it. But I, so it's kind of
two different things. Notion really for like tech stuff, tech text and like content and like
kind of putting your thoughts.
together for for your content. And there's a whole template for that that we created for
kind of content management. And then Tribe is really if you want it ready to create a website
that you can send people to where they can watch your videos. And that's where you can store your
videos. And you can store your videos there and they will be up there forever. They get that's
all like very secure and very locked down. So it's a good place to put them forever.
No one here is really doing like what I would call like controversial content like controversial
political content or any of that. But you know where like you're you're kind of in danger of
someone like YouTube like shutting down your channel which has definitely happened to people
or Facebook deleting your page or something because they feel like it's violating their
you know guidelines or whatever. Then you wouldn't you would want to be able to just
send people to your own website which you're fully in control of. So that's kind of why we have it.
There's a lot of other things you can do with it. It's a very powerful tool. So I would definitely
would take advantage of it because it's if you're going to upload to YouTube like just get in the
habit of also just when you upload it to YouTube upload it to Tribe as well. That's what I would
do. That's what we do. Yeah. Sounds great. Thank you. Just lost my question. It'll come back.
Bring it back Lord.
Well we're coming up on our time. Does anyone else have any other questions before we head off?
We're good. There is great conversation today. Yeah no no master class this Thursday.
We're going to be meeting with our roadmap group. Our monthly call there and then next week we have
coaching and then you're teaching I think on Thursday. Yeah about the origin story. So we're
going to do that exercise. I mentioned that in last coaching. So yeah. Cool guys. We'll have a great week.
I remembered my question. Yes. The website. Okay I signed up for a domain name. Yes. So
if I'm with Tribe Social then I suddenly got a website.
Is that amazing or I mean you did. I mean so you definitely want to your domain name you
definitely want to buy and you'll own that and you can connect that to anything you want.
There is a way for you to basically point that domain. So if you bought it and you now want when
people you go to your domain you want people to see the Tribe site we can help you set that up.
But yeah you did get a website and it is like yes you can put all your stuff there.
Amazing. Thank you. It only took you like a few months for us to make sure that we clearly
communicated that. We're getting better about it. That's on us. Could be on me too. It's okay.
Everybody else like yeah that's fine. That's great. You guys got it basically for free.
Yeah. But we have clients paying like thirty thousand dollars a year to use Tribe.
So like it's crazy what you can do with it.
Cool. Well yeah except that if you guys have questions about Tribe there's a Facebook group
just for Tribe because it is kind of its own product. It's another way that we're serving
Kingdom Messengers with that platform. And if you're interested I'm actually doing a live stream
in three and a half hours from now with one of my friends and we're gonna be building a Tribe
site from scratch in like 90 minutes. So it'll be up there. The recording will be up there as well.
But I'll drop the link to the Facebook groups. If you're not in the Facebook group
just make sure you're in it. But there's lots of like I did an update this morning
when we we posted some new features. And so cool. That's what we've got going on. So
and what time are you doing that Bruce? 7 30 Eastern. Okay. And we'll stream it into
to the Tribe social YouTube and the Tribe social Facebook page Facebook group here. So
and well it'll be up there. So we just figured if people are getting started and like don't know
where to start. All of Kingdom Messenger TV is all built on Tribe. Like the whole thing runs
with subscriptions and everything groups and all that stuff. So you guys can literally have
your own Kingdom Messenger TV that you could call Vaughn Ministries TV or whatever you wanted to
with it. So it's pretty powerful. But cool. Okay guys. Well we'll see you guys later this
next week. So have a great rest of your week. Bye. Thank you.
