There we go.
Hey guys.
Good to see everyone.
Hey, what's going on.
Hey,
Walter.
Happy birthday. Yeah.
No, not yet.
I got, I got a couple of, I got two weeks.
Okay.
Susie just being prophetic. You have a birthday.
I saw something on email about it. Sorry.
Yeah.
So, you know, they've been bugging me, put something out there so people to know that, that you're doing that you're having a fundraiser and I went, but it's not my birthday yet and I kept putting it off and it kept coming up.
Okay.
That's funny.
So, no, I got is the 13th of May, 13th of May, I'll be 26.
Oh my gosh.
1978.
Do we have any wins this week.
Let me see since my mic is on. Hey.
Oh my gosh.
Last week, I had this idea that I've been playing with it for over for quite a while.
And last week, a friend of mine, kind of spurred me on and said hey look you know why don't you write a little book, you know little pamphlet. And so that you'll, you'll have something to hand out, you know, and I thought I got a prayer or two,
and I said okay God if this is something you really want to do, then you're going to have to show me what to do with this. So, that was Friday not Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday I came up with about almost 4000 words, and I put out this little this little
thing on on tick tock about hey, it was totally spontaneous. I didn't have nothing written down. I just turned it on and said hey.
I woke up this morning, and I had, I had all these people, someone saying, give me a time give me a date, let me know I want to be a part of this and I went what, then another one then another one.
Then one guy said, Hey, will you just pray for me and I went what then another. Hey, pray for me here pray.
That's awesome.
And so I went wow.
Bruce knew we're getting ready to do a challenge. And I had nothing to look forward to.
And now I have something to look forward to.
So, if that's not God's favor.
Hey, I'm at a loss.
So, I'm beside myself. Awesome. That's awesome. And this is all around prayer right all around prayer. Yeah, yeah. Oh, that's awesome.
That's a wonderful way of sharing Walter.
You, you sucked me in.
It's really good.
Great, that's exciting.
Take one or two more wins before we kick it off today.
Mary 4000 four and a half thousand subscribers on one video with 107,000.
Come on.
I am amazed. I don't think you have videos that have 100,000.
That's awesome. That's crazy.
Very cool.
Well congrats.
Very good. Okay, one more win. Can I ask you a question how often are you posting daily.
Three times a week, three times a week okay that's very doable. That's awesome. Yeah.
Yeah.
And is that on TikTok or YouTube. That's TikTok I'm not doing well on YouTube.
And TikToks the easy like so YouTube is harder to grow it takes longer. Yeah.
So, but by building a big tick tock it'll make the rest of it easier that's why I do that for. Yeah. And you know what amazes me is it's all around people who are afraid.
They won't be saved.
There is so many it just opened my eyes to the people on TikTok that really need.
Wow, that's interesting. It's like what we've talked about many times over, especially when
it comes to your who, you might not have a very specific who in mind, but as you start to get
out there on the digital landscape, they'll begin to give you feedback. And so it sounds like you've
got this like extra nugget of knowledge now about your who that you could better use to serve them.
Yeah, when you read these emails about people crying because they just read a scripture,
you know, it's, it's very moving. You know, so I realized that people need to hear the truth.
They're so bombarded with the enemy's lies. Yeah.
Well done, Marianne. Okay, one more. Then we're gonna, we're gonna jump in.
I just wanted to say something really quickly.
But when you're looking at TikTok, the awesome thing is that those views aren't your followers.
Yes, there are people that have just found you. So it's not only the people that you have follow
you, but you have all of those extra who will then at some point start following you. So
it just multiplies and expands, which is so amazing.
That's cool. Yeah. They're like, we touched on this slightly on the TikTok challenge,
but I think it just was so much happening. But I think the stat is that 95% of the people who
watch your content on TikTok are not subscribed to you. So the follower, I heard one TikTok expert
say basically, like the followers don't mean anything, which I think is a little extreme.
I think that does definitely help because but he was saying because only 5% of people watching it
are following you. Like some people are just watching and getting value from your content. So
don't only think of the stats, but the fact that you're getting 100,000 views shows the point like
that you're getting all these views, but only 4,000 like, you know, so you're still getting
almost exactly that. So very cool. Yeah. Engagement is key. Hilary. Yes. Monica did
rockstar job last week. Yes. Thank you guys so much. And I rewatched the replay not to check
in on anyone, but because many of you reached out and said, Hey, you better watch the replay.
It was amazing. You guys may learn. And I was so, uh, first of all, Tamara and Monica did amazing,
but just all of the testimonies that you guys are sharing. And then just the nuggets of truth
that the Lord was, the things that the Lord was doing in you and through you was really powerful.
So thank you everyone who shared on the call last week, but especially Monica and Tamara for,
I mean, we might do that more often because it was, it was awesome. So we had a great first,
we'll share a win for our testimony for our family. So we got a text from Bruce's dad today,
which I just thought was extra special. So he said on this day in 1977. So that was 10 years
before I was born. A 14 year old boy had a radical encounter with Jesus that would dramatically
change his life and heritage. I will ever forever be grateful. So it's a very special
day for the Van Zyl family because Bruce's dad can trace his family lineage back. I think it's
about 300 years. I don't know how many generations that is, but not a single Christian or college
that he knows. Yeah. Poverty, uh, just oppression is kind of the lineage in which like the Van Zyl
side of the family. We lived in Africa. So we're basically living with the lions and the giraffes.
Not true. But, uh, when Dion was 14 years old, there was a, a young British pastor who, um,
struck up a friendship with him and began to mentor him. And Dion's dad was pretty wild from
what I can understand. He would drive his motorcycle up and down the steps of the church.
My dad was yeah. Yeah. And, uh, I'm sorry. Yeah. Uh, Bruce's dad Dion. And so I just think it's
really interesting because what we've been experiencing in this month and talking about
as a community, as far as like what we sow into this month, what we're sowing into the people
that are following us, what we're sowing into our ministries, coming back to our identity and
knowing who we are, it takes a very, it takes a person who's very secure in their identity to
Christ to see, say a 14 year old boy who has a lineage that goes back hundreds of years with
absolutely no connection with Christ, the church, good behavior, all the, you know, in the natural,
it was kind of a lost cause. And this pastor saw past that, and he was very secure in who he was
and his identity in Christ and enough to see who Dion could be in Christ. And so as we're going
kind of out on the digital landscape.
I just want to encourage you guys, you might not see, like I, the way that I keep describing it
to friends who I'm talking to this week that are with us in prayer is I feel like we're on step
three of step 1,000, a thousand steps is what it feels like to me. Like, of course, right? Like
we're all on a journey, but I feel like I can't, I can't quite see past this one step of obedience
for us. It has to do with this workshop this week. And for many of you, you shared what you
guys have been doing in your channels and ministries, but that's, what's so powerful
about the seeds that we sow is that we can't always see what the harvest is going to be.
I mean, think about the fact that like, we're talking to you guys, we're talking to you guys,
because in 1977, this young British pastor who, by the way, I think he had five generations of,
he was like a fifth generation pastor. So not even necessarily like connected to the world
in which Bruce's dad was living so far removed from the carnage, if you will, of just, you know,
absolutely no connection to Christ whatsoever. And he just decided to completely like bridge the gap
through conversation and relationship and friendship and showing up and like what that's
meant to us. And now what's going to mean to Hannah and so on and so forth. So like,
that is what you guys are doing. It's no small thing, like the seeds that you're sowing this
month, this week, and you can continue to sow as you continue to step out and step up and show,
show up, like the Lord is doing a miraculous things that I believe will have generational
impact for sure, for sure, for sure, for sure. So, so cool. So that's what we're celebrating
today as a family and looking forward to this call. So Tamara, I'm going to go ahead and hand
it over to you to pray. I think it looks like Susie and then Holly, and then we'll take any
questions. Awesome. Great. So cool. Father, we thank you so, so much for this beautiful day.
We thank you. We have so much to be grateful for so much to be thankful for. First, we are sons
and daughters of the most high God. You are our Abba father. So we just come with thankful hearts
today, no matter what we have going on in our personal lives, how many lemons have been thrown
at us today or this past week. Oh God, we celebrate the victories that we have won. We celebrate the
victory that you won Lord Jesus. And so we are excited for this session to grow, to be built up,
to be edified. We invite you Holy spirit to come in and do what you do best. Give us some aha moments.
We thank you for breakthrough. We thank you for clarity that will come forth during this session.
Oh God, we thank you for testimonies. And we just thank you that we're in a forward momentous,
we're going forward. And so we just thank you God, you've stirred us, you've ignited us and
we're going forward. We bless Bruce and Lindsey as they leave this session on today, that you
will give them clarity as they answer questions and, and interact with us on this day. Is it
Jesus name we pray and give thanks. Amen. Amen. Amen. Thank you. Okay. Who's first did you say?
Uh, so I think Susie was up and then we'll go to Holly. Uh, and then I'm sure.
But, and then we'll, we'll talk a little bit after that about the tech workshop and then we'll jump
into, uh, any other questions that anybody has. Yes. So Amy had her hand up and I don't know if
you just saw me. Are you talking about that? You had submitted something on the 26th of April,
which is today. Yeah. Um, so, so, but yeah, we can, um, either way we'll get to everybody.
We'll do Susie and Holly. They're in the database and then we'll start taking questions. So you go
for it, Susie. Okay. I've got, I should have gotten this up earlier. I think I'm pretty quick
at this actually. Okay. So look at that. Um, my question is, I started off with these with a
bigger, um, darker circle around it and my husband and then a lighter circle in the middle and dark
words. And my husband said, I look crowded. And so I went to this and then I did these and I thought,
okay, that looks redundant, you know, not especially creative. And so then I did these.
And so I was just kind of looking for input about which one or, or, or, or what to do about them.
If I should make changes. Yeah, no, I think this is great. Um, and, uh, so I think that like,
so just, so all of the ones kind of on the left side, they, they all seem
easy to read and clear and you've got them really, really small, which is actually a great test. Um,
of a thumbnail is like in design we sometimes call it like the eight foot rule like if you can send
eight feet away from your computer and read the text it's like probably really good because people
are distracted and busy and they're on their phones everything's really small on their phone
so don't be afraid of like very large overpowering text for a thumbnail in you know in other places
it may be too much but um uh yeah someone lynette says she likes b1 um yeah that's good yeah and i
don't think you have to pick like one template like honestly if all of everything on the left
here was in like a grid it wouldn't look terrible like if it was in a gallery so i don't feel like
you have to pick one only one of these um i think uh i think this is higher contrast with the dark
background versus this um things i would stay away from like all caps tends to be difficult to read
um quickly right people just easier to read um when you when you kind of use title case
um that's the only thing i would avoid um and but overall like i think it's good maybe do you want
to talk about the wording of what you're putting in there yeah we talked about that i think two
weeks ago but yeah i mean you're just you're wanting it to be something that's clickable
and so um the best way to do like the best way to kind of understand this concept is i just go on
youtube and just scroll thumbnails you know people that have high um subscribers i just you know
assume that they know what they're doing right they've been at it for a while and so it's just
a way for that for you to catch someone's eye and get their attention so it's not even necessarily
like it's not the title it's something that supplements the title chris is going to grab
some examples i think wow um this is let me see if i can find some examples you want me to get
rid of my screen okay so the fact that these are like all ovals um is that like redundant or
you know these are these are a little more creative i'm sure you notice that these are
variations of the same thing you know with the circle you saw it obviously and very rarely are
people going to see your thumbnail next to another one of your thumbnails yeah it's going to be kind
of by itself it's going to usually be presented by itself you know they there is the chance that
they'll go and then look at your library and kind of scroll through and see that so it's kind of all
branded similarly but a lot of times your thumbnail is kind of next to other people's
thumbnails so i wouldn't worry about you being redundant i would worry i would i would focus more
on the kind of science behind the thumbnail of is the text easy to read does the text grab people's
attention is it you know something that people would want to click on does it supplement the
title um those are things i would focus on versus like do they all match okay or are they so so
these are all um the same font all of these and i was thinking okay big bold uh sans serif not very
interesting um and i but i'm but they're definitely more readable than any of the other ones
did you and did you start with a like a canva template for these yeah okay because i yeah i
would um i wouldn't try and make everything too uniform in the beginning like i would experiment
with things like try to pull like a template from canva and try to keep it kind of the way it is
you know with the fonts and the colors and just try it and see if it gets more clicks
um and just try other ones you can the good thing about thumbnails is you can change them
anytime you want you can change them next week a year from now whenever um so if you ever do want
to come back and change it you can you can do that if you decide like that's really not my style like
i want to change it but it's better just to think of it like as a an ad for your piece of content
um so i think something that you've done in the thumbnails like coming up with a statement
yeah i don't i to be honest with you this is like a big struggle for me is the thumbnail title
discussion i tend to like to be clever and witty with my titles i have to be a little bit more
uh blunt with my titles like how to like it's not it's not clever because you want to get
something that someone might be searching for and when they read it they know what it's about
pretty quickly and so that's something i'm having to and then the thumbnail really supplements that
title so it's more of a call out um and it kind of it might feel like not silly but like not
like like i have a tendency to be you know my content is pretty like weighty and serious and
like i'm gonna try to experiment in this next season with doing a little bit more
like i don't know what the word is no like casual like thumbnail like not as branded
but more just like text and a picture
Not like so, because even my thumbnails now are kind of branded and I just don't, I don't
think that they're very like, I don't know.
My theory is when people are on YouTube, they are drawn to more kind of raw type stuff versus
like, oh, here it looks like this looks like a branded teaching, like our branded sermon.
Am I making sense?
Yeah.
So I don't have the words for it, but I'm trying, I'm going to try to experiment with
just having a little bit more of a lighter thumbnail, like my face and like big texts
versus like the posture, the YouTube channels that are doing well are not, um, they're not
super, uh, cookie cutter.
Like they'll just use a lot of like really big white text and also think about like,
um, another thing is like, obviously having your face on there at all is super helpful
because we always say there's favor in the face.
And so when, but if you can do something like you've done some stuff where it's like,
like, like I always struggled with this question and then you have like a face, you know, like
a more of a gesture or something, like if it's like our mind and our center, like, or
something, you know, like that, the Holy spirit is calling us near, like calling us, like,
I know it feels silly, but I, again, I feel like it's worth an experiment of can I get
more people to watch this video?
Because I know that the content is something that is transformative.
So I don't want to let my, uh, I don't know what the word is.
My likes wanting to look cool vanity.
I don't know.
Pride get in the way of like, Hey, this is what might be more clickable to people than
just like something that looks like really like clean cut.
Well, and all of these are screenshots from my video.
So, uh, yeah, lots of room for just taking a picture now that I'm doing it with Canva.
Yeah.
And that's what I do.
Like we'll take a, I like, these are beautiful screenshots, by the way, I can never get anything
this good looking for my screen.
I'm always making weird faces apparently when I talk.
So I just, I do a picture, like I just create a separate picture for my thumbnail, uh, while
I'm, while I'm recording.
So I'm in the same outfit and stuff and the same hairstyle or anything like that, but
I just take a separate picture for the actual thumbnail.
Yeah.
Sounds good.
Um, okay.
So bolder font, um, somebody said they, they liked this B1 one better, uh, just because
it's darker and bolder or like this, this one is that same font, the bottom, um, I also
just kind of did these in a batch cause these are all the YouTubes I had and, and my thumbnail
was not acceptable at all.
So, um, I just wanted to get these out there and up.
And I think we talked about this maybe like two weeks ago.
So this is great.
Cause I think you didn't have, you said you didn't have any thumbnail.
And so adding to any variation of this, I wouldn't overthink this too much because they're
all kind of in the general, they're in the right zone.
That makes sense.
We're not other than like stuff that's where like, Hey, stay away from the all caps or
response being too small.
I think, I think you're in the right track on anything on the left, two columns, the
A and B.
Okay.
Um, Oh, but I also got the impression that when we were talking, you were talking about
a Facebook, um, you, uh, thumbnail I just discovered last week or whatever, that there
were Facebook thumbnails, right?
Is that something that is worth, you know, pursuing?
Yeah.
So we typically take the same thumbnail and upload it to YouTube and then also upload
it to our Facebook post.
And then Instagram, when you upload it to IGTV, it's going to be portrait.
So it's kind of a totally different thing.
So we typically make two thumbnails for each.
It's one that's, um, 16 by nine, kind of like the shape that you've got here.
And then one that's tall, um, with kind of the middle sections where all the content
is.
So, um, we, but yeah, Facebook, so you can use this on YouTube and Facebook.
It's Facebook's a little bit less, um, you don't see this thumbnail because like, uh,
typically people are just scrolling.
And then what happens is you'll see the thumbnail for like a second, and then it will just start
playing the video automatically.
So you don't really experience it.
Whereas like on YouTube, it's like, it could be in a list of videos that could potentially
get people to click.
So, but if you're making it anyway, it's very quick just to go and add it to Facebook as
well, just to make, but this is amazing, like progress.
Yeah.
Really awesome.
Okay.
Yeah.
I'm, I'm pleased with it.
So really quickly, you said something about, um, what is actually written.
in there. And you're saying, make it a little more simple.
Is this so like, for instance, another perspective on sin is
such a great call out, because it's something that like just
grabs. Now, is someone going to be searching for that? Probably
not. So the title might need to be more towards like, what would
people be searching? Like, what does God think about sin? Or
can I overcome sin or whatever? I don't know what the video is
about. But another perspective on skin sin is a great thumbnail,
like, call out, because that's like interesting, and something
that someone might want to click on and learn more about. So
that's what I mean, versus it being something that's like,
like, Holy Spirit is calling us near might not be something that
people like would, that might not, that seems kind of like a,
it doesn't seem like an open statement, or, you know what I
mean? Like, it's like, okay, he's calling us near, but like,
might want to go a little bit deeper. Maybe it's something
that you quote in your video, or it can be a question like,
I want to share this. Okay, sorry, I'm distracted. Because
Bruce has many things on his screen.
This is a great resource. But yeah, finish.
Does that make sense? Susie? Like you're using that thumbnail
as kind of an ad for the content, but it doesn't have to
like say what the whole piece of the content is. It's just a it's
just a teaser. It's something like grab someone's attention.
Okay.
We tend to want to be very literal with it. Like, oh, well,
this is what the video is about. So like, let's make like, let's
put that as a title in the thumbnail, but it needs to be a
little bit more of like, like a, like a call out. So that's,
that's why, like, I'm, I'm sorry, I'm so distracted right
now. I'll show you guys. It's the hook. Thank you, Monica.
It's the hook. That's what I'm trying to say.
Ask. So this whole thing about us having a center. So would it
be something to say? Do you have a center? Or what about our
center?
Or I don't think see, that's the thing. So that's what the video
is about. But I don't think people like wouldn't understand
what you're saying. If it was, if you're just saying time at
your center, right? It's more about it's like a deeper layer,
like a hook into that. So we talked about where there's one
about your mind. It's more than your mind.
Yeah, no, we got deeper than our mind. Or that's kind of what
you're kind of want to grab people where they're at, and
kind of bring them into the content itself. So people
aren't, they're not at the place where they even understand what
you mean when you're talking about your center. Because
you're explaining what that means in the video. So you've
got to go kind of a level. Like more to the surface, if you
will. So talking about maybe, like, I think the one that you
said, like, knowing got deeper than our mind. That's like
another perspective on sin. Those are ones what the Bible
says, what is what is the other one? The Bible says we have a
center. Like,
like, did you know the Bible said,
I know, I feel like a center is like to
people know, they haven't known what the definition is yet.
Why I'm struggling today, guys. I'm sorry. We have a new zoom
setup. That's really the problem. Our screen is like
right here. And it's, it's big. And normally, it's like off to
the side. And so I'll try to be less distracting.
That is my problem, is I don't know what to call it. You know,
what about our gut, or something like that? So the Christian
saying,
knowing God, knowing God in your gut, like, that's interesting.
That's good. Yeah. Like knowing God in your gut,
because, again, this is an ad to get people to watch the video.
So you don't even have to mention the word gut.
In the center, you mean?
Yeah, I mean, saying you can just define it in your video.
Or it doesn't even matter. They could just, oh, that's
interesting. I click it, and I kind of get some new content
and stuff. So
okay, and other people have there's, I need, I recognize I
need to be done. But the Christians save center, I didn't
know, because what is fascinating to me is, oh, all
those places that say sound mind, are actually safe center.
Right. But, like you say, that's like foreign language to people.
So do you think the Christian safe center would, I almost
know, like, that sounds like you're, you're, you see, you
know, more than you think, you know, because what you're
struggling with is like, Hey, I don't think that's it. So what I
have, I have a tendency to do is I need to go, I go back and
watch some of my content again. And it's sometimes it's a
phrase, or it's, you know, something that pops out to me,
I'm like, okay, that's it. Yeah. And I'm happy. Look, send me
send me one that you're struggling with Susie, send me a
video, say I want to find a thumbnail for this sentence me,
I'll look at I'll look over it. It's harder to do if we're just
like kind of looking at the title itself without the
content, without the content. That's true. But if there's one
particular where like, I have no idea, I'm stuck on this
This one, send it to me or tag me in it on Facebook group and I'll watch it
and come up with some options for you.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Thank you very much.
Awesome.
You can't screw it up because you can always change it.
All of these are better than not having one at all.
Right.
Absolutely.
And you'll get the, is the trick with all of this stuff.
If you guys like, wow, this is so overwhelming.
And to also be adding this to what you're doing, like this stuff will
get easier and easier and easier.
And so even like the more you do it, it's like, you can just come up
with quick stuff, like really good stuff on the fly very quickly.
Cause you just kind of, you get into the mode of it.
So it gets, does get easier.
So just the trick is to do it though and not overthink it.
So this is what I would, this is the order in which I would do things.
Susie is go ahead and upload before you do anything else, go and upload
the thumbnails into YouTube because you can change them later, but you're,
you've done them, so go ahead and upload.
Now they're just sitting on your computer and no one can see them.
No, do it, upload those, pick, just pick your favorites, pick the ones
that you like and upload because they're all good.
And then the second step is if you're like, Hey, this one, I really
want to change, but I'm stuck.
I can't think of a better one.
Tag me in a Facebook with it and I'll help you find one.
And we can do the exercise together.
And I think that'll help flush out some ideas.
Yep.
Great.
Cool.
Okay.
Awesome.
We'll come to, uh, it's Holly next Holly.
And then I'm just going to say real quick, one, one rule of thumb that I've
heard that goes really well with thumbnails is, uh, write them like
you're speaking to a fifth grader.
So a nine year old, so you dwindle it down to that language.
Then the people don't have to think about it so that they
can know they want to go in.
It's just like an automatic.
Oh, I get that.
Let me see what else is in there.
And then it's like just getting your foot in the door.
That's so good.
Yeah.
Thanks Monica.
That's good.
That's awesome.
Oh yeah.
Ben was asking yet.
Yeah.
Just saying, explaining your title, like it's, you're speaking to a fifth
grader or someone in middle school.
Yeah.
That kind of level of understanding.
Okay.
Holly.
Hi, thank you.
That was actually really helpful to me too.
I just had a question from watching you just now.
So I've been for my thumbnails.
I've just been using the same one for every single time
and just changing the title.
Are you saying it's better to change it up and put different
pictures and things?
Yeah, I think so.
And so the way in which I do mine is well, Susie's is one way where she
just takes a screenshot from the actual video, like one with she's smiling or
has an expression that she likes and uses that you can totally do that.
For me, it's hard for me to find a good expression.
Yeah.
So I just take the photo.
So while I'm recording the video, it's part of my process.
My production process is I just take a photo cause I'm in the.
Clothes that I'm in, you know, like, like I'm from the actual video, my
hairstyle is the same about how you do the intro pause like that.
Yeah.
So from just an easy, like editing, you can take a separate photo if you want.
But what I do is while I'm sitting in the chair, sitting in the studio,
cause that's kind of the picture people are going to see, I will do my intro.
Like, cause I just record everything in one take.
So I'll record the intro and then I'll just pause and do some kind of.
You know, pose or two or three poses or two or three poses.
That's very helpful.
Cause when you go to edit it and you're like, oh, I actually don't like that face.
Then you have two other backups.
You don't have to go back.
Right.
Cause it takes a second.
Just if you're just looking, if it's recorded video, it takes a second to go.
And then, and then that's literally all you need, but you do it.
And then I go into recording the content so that that file has something
that I can go back and I'll take a screenshot of that, that pose.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
We cut that piece out obviously, but we get to use the still from there.
That's really helpful.
Well, um, my question was about, um, so I've had so many life interruptions
that I've mentioned last week and my in-laws were living with us.
And it's like, when I have to choose what I'm going to put down, it's this
posting constantly on these things.
And so that's what I ended up putting down.
Um, and so I've, I just have not been able to do it consistently.
I just haven't been able to.
So I'm trying to just move forward slowly at my pace.
And the next thing that I want to get done is this origin story.
Cause that's what I, I don't know.
I just feel like that's what I need to do next.
And I cannot condense it into one minute.
I just cannot do it.
And I just, I record it over and over and over and over, and
I keep changing it, changing it.
And I don't, I mean, does it, it has to be one minute because
it has to go on TikTok.
Is that why it has to be one minute?
Well, at one minute, you just have a lot of things you can do with it.
It can be an ad.
Um, it can be, yeah, it can be a real on Instagram.
It can be.
So that's, that's what makes it helpful at 60 seconds.
If you can't like, where is it right now?
How long is it right now?
Well, the reason, so I have it done, but that if, if I want to turn it into an.
add and say at the end, the call to action, that's what I can't fit in.
I see.
Yeah.
And I mean, get, give yourself like the flexibility to do two, essentially
like make one that's under 60 seconds.
And then one that you didn't, you know, is a minute and 20 seconds, a minute and 30.
And just, you know, you just have to maybe watch it back or even when you're
writing it out, just try and find somewhere you can cut back or say
something a little bit faster.
Um, it is extremely effective to run it, um, to be able to run it as a, like a
real ad, um, or, um, we do have to do one for the tech workshop that was like 15
seconds and it was literally, literally like question and like, Hey, we're going
to be doing this click here to learn more.
Like that was the whole, it was 15 seconds.
So what are they, are they clicking on your website to learn more,
your YouTube to learn more?
What's the best thing to send them to?
So you may have different, you may have different ones and that's where your
origin story will say the same, but that little ending could be different.
It could be like, click the link in my bio to learn more.
It could be like, click the link below.
Hey, go to my website to book a call or learn more or something like that.
Now, what you can do is you can utilize text so that can, right.
Like, so you're looking at me like, maybe that's just another step.
It's another, it's another step to add, but like, if you're like, Hey, I can't
get it, like, I can't get enough room in this to put a verbal call to action.
You can put a text call to action, like on Tik TOK, where it says like,
um, you know, follow me, you know, to find out more.
And so like when you run it as an ad, um, it will add like a learn more
button right at the bottom.
So you don't actually have to say it.
We just said like, I think you'd say, yeah, click the link below.
Yeah.
I think it's helpful to have a verbal, but if you like, absolutely
don't have any room.
Yeah.
Link below is pretty general.
It will work on most platforms because it could be in your description.
It could be in your ad.
It could be.
Um, the only thing that wouldn't work for is specifically a Tik TOK, but you
could always do two versions, which is like click link in bio.
So how long, I'm sorry, I missed this.
How long is it?
This is like a little over 60.
It's about, um, one minute, 20 seconds.
So do you have it in front of you right now?
Um, no, not really.
Okay.
Cause I was like, you could read it right now and I could help you cut some stuff.
Okay.
Wait, let me pull it up.
I have it.
Cause here's the thing is I can help.
Um, yeah, and then they had a question.
Let me give you a second to do that, Holly.
Cause I think it'll be helpful.
It's always helpful if you're struggling to edit your own story to get a second
party to listen in because they're not as emotionally attached to all the things
you've put into, this is for anyone listening, like, and the rest of this
group is phenomenal as well.
Like, obviously we can help you guys, but if you wanted to share it in the.
Uh, Facebook group as well.
Other people may be like, Hey, take the sentence out.
Cause they, they're kind of can come at a lot more of a, like a cold.
Like I even do this with Lindsay because I'll spend time writing something and
she'll come up and be like, Oh, you don't need to say that.
Just say this.
But I love that sentence.
And that's the thing.
That's the point is that you're the creator.
You're the creator.
So you love everything you create.
You need someone who's not close to it to be like, why did you say like 10 seconds
to say this when you could just say that?
Like, so awesome.
We'll let you bring that up and then we'll help Lee and Brendan.
When they actually sent an email or something.
Hey, Lee and Brendan.
We're going to get this.
Hey, lovely Atlanta, Georgia.
Hello.
I like that word.
I loved your live as everyone did.
Like that live was phenomenal.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Awesome.
Thank you for that feedback.
That's good to know you guys, you guys know you've been going live every single
day, so you know how you feel after live.
You're like, did I make any sense at all?
Lovely Lola.
Thank you.
You get, you get, you get, um, and tick tocks.
It's funny.
We've never had negative comments on tick tock, but we've got one person coming on
going late.
Hey, girl, you see, you need some serious eyelashes done.
And this is where I'm like, getting over myself and not wearing mascara.
Like, and then I'm like, Oh, thank you, enemy.
I'm going to wear mascara less now.
As long as they're not complaining about Brendan's mascara, then we should.
I did ask if we're a week, I wasn't sure if it was me or Leslie, but
Oh my gosh.
Yeah.
The internet is full is crazy.
It's wild and crazy, but I can tell you, right.
The Brendan picked up that that same user or similar said, Oh, it's really good
that you shared her story.
And we're like, yeah, yeah, it actually changed around from those negative
comments to like, Oh, thanks for sharing her story.
And you guys, you guys are, you guys, your demographic is very interesting
too, because it's a lot younger demographic.
So they also have a tendency to be a bit more sarcastic, blunt.
Oh yeah.
You know, ha ha funny.
And so you kind of have to roll with the punches a little bit differently
than like, Hey, this is not like a 45 year old who like knows better or.
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah, absolutely.
but we've got so many messages direct messages and you know other young people
who are who we've lined up to interview because of the lives you know they've
got amazing yeah the next yeah I've got four or five people from all over we've
got somebody from New York next week or something and you can we're getting you
we're getting used to the time zone difference but yeah they're getting
they've seen our stuff so I'm going live more but like ending it on the end of
April I need a rest yeah that's intense yeah it's awesome so we can do you want
to get your email yeah it's active campaign it's already in I'm almost
wondering I don't know if this is gonna be super like well let me do this do
you guys because we're do you mind waiting like different like we don't
have to do it on the coaching call today like yeah I'm saying we could if you
want to do at the end and then that way people can hop off if they're not
interested I just look I've got all the steps in front of me so I think it'll
take us like 10 minutes I just I'm just you guys wake up a little more since
it's so early I've just finished university I've done four-year doctrine
on active campaign so we're good that's funny hey Holly do you have it pulled
up yeah I do okay can I read that and then we'll okay this will be really fast
knowing I was free in Christ but stuck in a state of struggle mentally
emotionally spiritually physically and financially depressed and in total
lockdown that was me 12 years ago I wanted to function in fullness so I asked
God flat-out if freedom in Christ is true why is it so hard to be free God
answered in an unexpected way a brand new perspective of our remarkable human
design through the framework of quantum physics and how to use its mechanics to
activate my full capacities today I'm enjoying whole life wellness and freedom
like never before I'm on a mission to help restore others to their fullness if
you want to reclaim your birthright from the inside out I invite you to and here's
go to go more in-depth go to my channel or whatever I'm gonna say I don't know
okay it's really good okay this is what I would do I would start where you ask
God the question explain so much yeah okay it's a good hook you want that hook
right in the first five seconds so I would drop the rest of the intro okay
and I would just start with one day I asked God what was the question I like
the wording um let's see one day I asked God if freedom in Christ is true I don't
know if I should say true or real if freedom in Christ is true why is it so
hard to be free yeah either one if freedom I'm great if so I would do that
start with the question if freedom in Christ is real why is it so hard to be
free that's the question I asked God what was it four years ago eight years
ago whenever it was and then go into the rest of the I was in this place here's
where no I you because you don't even have to say I was in this place because
it's obvious you were in this place if that's the question that you asked God
but that question is the hook and so I would start with that I wouldn't even
say like one day I asked God start with the question itself because that is it's
gonna resonate with the people who are asking that same question quickly yeah
okay and keep in mind that your origin story can be done in 60 seconds done in
five minutes or it can be done in like a 60 minute presentation right so you're
not cutting it out forever it's just for the second one yeah okay got it it's it's
kind of feel like Susie because it's it's introducing a even a word or a
topic that people don't know about so you can't really explain it in a minute
yeah and that's the point is that you're not talking about tactics strategy
anything you're just you're just getting people to like come and learn more and
so you're kind of just meeting them where they're at and giving them hope
that okay maybe I don't have to be stuck in this problem that I've learned to live
with or you know but you don't have to explain all the like quantum physics and
stuff I mean you explain enough to say like hey this is what I've kind of
discovered but you don't have to dive deep yet because that's the point of
them connecting with you at a deeper level it's creating intrigue mm-hmm yeah
okay awesome okay thank you good that helps thank you sweet awesome cool we're
just gonna take like two minutes so like and then we'll just share about the tech
thing and then we'll jump into anyone else I think Denise has her hand raised
and Ben and then we'll go from there so
Doing a tech workshop this week, you guys are all invited.
It's a free workshop.
It starts tomorrow night.
We are going to do evening sessions.
So like 7 PM Eastern, um, for Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
So we're gonna spend about an hour, hour and a half, and we are going to be
sharing more of the like tech side of things as far as, um, how to, like when
you're building your online community and your tribe, how do you like take
ownership and mastery of all the tech rather than letting all the tech
kind of own you and hold you back?
It's kind of our goal.
Um, and so we are doing something a little different here.
We're actually not inviting people to, uh, to this coaching
after the end of that thing.
We're going to be inviting them to a new, um, program that's just about helping
them launch their platform on tribe social, essentially going to take the
first 30 days, we're going to help them set up their tribe platform.
And then the next 30 days is all about marketing and selling and getting
subscriptions and traffic and all that stuff.
So it's an eight week program that we're offering.
Um, and so, uh, that's what, that's where it is.
You got a lot of, you guys already have a tribe social, so you're welcome to
come and hang out with us if you want to just hang out, um, we've got like
some, uh, guests that's coming in on Monday as like a bonus, so just stay
tuned to that group and the emails.
You guys will all get all the emails for it as well.
Um, and we're hosting it in tribe.
We're actually hosting the whole thing.
Well, and by in kingdom messenger TV, which is, which is our tribe.
Um, so the whole group is in, uh, kingdom messenger.tv.
And so you guys should all have access there.
Will the link be in an email?
Yeah.
And we'll drop the link real quick here.
It's just, um, uh, you can go through our, our little funnel here.
Um, and on page two, I'm sending you what everybody's getting on page two.
They're like, Hey, upgrade to get lifetime access.
Everybody on this call already has it.
So don't upgrade.
We will, we'll just refund you immediately.
So it doesn't matter, but that's what that link will, and it'll take
you through to go and get access.
So, um, it's a big, it's a big deal.
And I know you guys know this and I won't like reiterate everything
we talked about this week already, but.
We are hoping that this, you know, especially hosting it within our, within
our tribe hub, that this is like one step closer to like, not being tethered,
uh, tethered to renting other platforms like Facebook.
And, you know, again, we want to utilize those, we want to leverage those to
like run, you know, find people get traffic, but we don't want that to be
our hub and we don't want that for other community leaders, like we are
a part of other groups where people are leading online communities.
And like, it is just brutal.
I know a lot of us have experienced it with just the changes in the ads
targeting and not being able to target, you know, Christians or any Christian,
uh, thought leaders or anything like that.
Like it's very blatant that, you know, they, they, you know, took a shot
against like Christian faith-based.
And so again, we want to leverage everything we can for the kingdom, but
we don't want to be, we don't want to feel like we have to be tethered to it.
And so that's why it feels big.
It feels weighty.
Cause like, this could be a solution for people who feel like they've
been, like things have been cut out from under them because they've had
everything like on Facebook or everything on Instagram or things like that.
So, yeah.
Um, so yeah, it's going to be, it's a different offer.
Like it's a different package.
Like I said, it's eight weeks of coaching and they'll have sort of lifetime
access to try, but on their own server and platform, and it is going
to be a, like a $10,000 offer.
So, um, we have made it available.
If you guys are in this group as well, if you want to help promote it, there's
a part of Facebook group for our partners and you guys can go get an affiliate
and where I think we're giving like 5% away or 10% to some people.
I don't, I can't remember.
You can go check in the, um, all the details are in that group.
Um, but, uh, it's a great way as well, just to, um, if you guys have
friends or anyone you want to bring, we basically let you use your affiliate
link, it basically helps do some kickback to you for that.
Um, what else was I going to say?
I had something else.
Yeah, this was good.
It's, it's something we've been building for two years.
And so we've not really gone public with tribe.
We kind of gave it to a lot of you guys as like, Oh, and by the way, there's
this website thing and you can go and like do it and we've got clients
currently paying us like $36,000 a year to have access to tribe.
Um, plus, plus like all other types of things that they're adding to it.
Um, and so we just kind of threw it in.
There's this like afterthought in other workshops, it was a cool bonus and we
didn't really know what it was yet.
We kind of just started building it and now we've like, okay, there's
something really significant here.
So we're doing a whole challenge just for that.
So we appreciate it.
Thanks Lynette for covering us in prayer.
That's awesome.
For those of us who, who have already come into tribe and all of that, what
about the eight weeks, is that something that we'd still have to pay for?
Um, we're working on something special for that.
Um, that question just came up today and I, I knew that was going to happen.
So we will get you guys something, but you're welcome to be a part of it.
Like I said, it will be, um, we'll figure out something you guys are
in these coaching calls every week.
So it's kind of, it's difficult because you almost have more than what
we're giving them in some ways.
Cause like you could just come with your tribe questions on these calls
on the open coaching calls and get all those questions answered.
Um, we're going to go a little bit more in depth to, um, like the business
side of it and sending up like how to take a payment online and how to sell
a book or a course or a subscription or something like that.
So it's going to be a little bit more on the business marketing side
is what the training is going to be.
Um, but we'll, we'll find something we'll find, we have to talk about it, but
we'll, we'll work something out for you guys.
Yeah, for sure.
Um, awesome.
Cool.
I don't think there's any other questions.
Yeah.
Isaac, you can shoot us a quick email.
I can get, get an response to you about that.
Help at KMW support.com.
We'll make sure you get set up.
No.
Um, yeah, we'll just email us about it.
We'll help you out until you work.
All right.
So is it Ben next?
We'll do bet.
Uh, yeah, we can depend on Denise.
Did we skip Amy?
I just want to make sure we're not skipping.
Well, she doesn't have her hand raised.
You can't call her physical hand.
Does she have a real hand?
She's really can't see her on the screen.
Awesome.
I'll just say this real quick.
All I was going to say back then when Susie saw my hand up was my
highlight of the week was your life.
That's all I'm going to say, but I just thought Isaac make a, uh, a comment,
but I think it'd be wonderful to pray for you all before we get off this call.
Thank you.
We appreciate that.
Yeah.
We feel like there's a little bit of resistance, even talking with
our team, with Monica and Tamara earlier today.
Like we're just, it felt like a lot of the teams under attacks.
We'd love to pray for us and also for them as well.
Absolutely.
Cause they are, they're carrying a lot of weight for, for this as well.
Yeah.
We appreciate it.
Let's jump into questions and then we'll, we'll pray at the end, but Hey, Ben.
Hey, um, yeah, so your, uh, life was really great.
Um, thank you for sharing.
Um, meant a lot to me and, um, there's stuff going on on our end as well.
Kind of a, you call it resistance, probably a good definition.
Um, you know, working on things and things don't work and people not doing
what they actually said they will do.
And so, yeah, it's been a little bit of stretch and a challenge.
My question is regarding Facebook ads or Instagram ads.
I it's the whole ad thing.
The first I've gone was promoting quotes, right.
To get, um, page likes that's the first I got.
So for my wife's workshop, what we would like to do is basically
have an image of an ad with kind of for her topic, right.
And what I've seen is that somebody had an ad where there was an image with
text, and then there was kind of after a while, another page coming up where
there also was text, like solid, not, not a video.
It was just like, like a story would switch them to another story where
there was taxed more explanation about what is about this ad.
How can I make something like that?
Cause, um, there's a great, I think, is it this, yeah, this little guy.
Um, here I'll drop a link.
There's a great tool called Lumen5 that is like a little web-based.
I think you can do this on Canva.
Monica is more of a Canva expert than me, but, um, they've got these
templates where you can just go and drop in two or three like screens.
And then they do cool animations in between them.
I believe that's in Canva as well, if you have that, but Lumen5 is
another one that I've used for ads.
Um, and they've used pick a template.
Like probably what you saw is just one template that someone just customized.
Um, but yeah, and well, I'll one like 30 seconds on that.
We're running ads right now for, for this.
And we are experimenting also with a lead form type ad.
So if you're doing a free challenge or you just want to hook people
in with just an email address, um, those have been like half the cost.
Typically I've been someone going through like a paid, like
a conversion type objective.
So just experiment with both of those, um, kind of split your ad budget.
Um, so sorry to jump in here.
Just what we wanted to do is basically have a lead forum within
Facebook, where we just grabbed their email address.
I would love even without their name, just to kind of, to put the
resistance as low as possible and then, um, lead them to a thank you
page within Facebook still, or Instagram.
Yeah, have a button there. Okay, here over a little text right join us for a workshop. Yeah, and basically when they click the button then bring them over to a sales page where they could sign up for the workshop.
Okay, watch.
I'm going to drop a link here if you're in the tribe social Facebook group. I think you are this was more a question right not just explaining what I'm doing and then getting your feedback not telling you know.
No, that's good. I was just saying like the link that I dropped there, I spent like 10 minutes and I walked through exactly how we're doing our ads right now, and it does that lead form goes to like the Facebook form that you're talking about.
And then you can from there you can use Zapier to basically like send it to wherever you want active campaign or something. So, yeah, I'm with go high level so I can connect high level right to Facebook right yeah you can do theory.
You can't I think through Zapier, you definitely can't you don't need Zapier day right okay perfect.
Perfect.
So yeah, what you think that could work.
Um, yeah, I would get the Facebook lead form has been good, you get a lot of leads, they may not all show up right like there. Yeah, sure.
Yeah, you get it very wide.
Yeah, very wide kind of group of people but you've got people that you can start communicating with and then, yeah, so we found that and it's been cheaper cost for us then it has about half, but it's been difficult though, like, it's definitely more challenging
to run ads. This year than it was last year.
Can you speak to that a little bit.
You targeting, we can't target Christians anymore. That's the number one thing so if you have anything faith based which all of you guys are doing something. Yeah.
We have to use kind of other ways to get around that so we not only like we can't we do Christian, we have to call people out like in the copy of the ad we're using that to say, in fact, and part of the thing we're experimenting with his tribe this tribe
thing we've mentioned a lot of kingdom language but we're not specifically, and it's under the banner of kingdom messengers but we're not overtly saying it's a Christian piece of software, like it's just software.
But, yeah, we're experimenting with it it's just been it's been slow, for sure.
Okay. And can you still build custom audience let's say like followers of. Yes, Johnson or can't do that. Can't do that. Oh no. Yeah, not at all. Yeah, it'd be easy if we could.
So anything if you like they call it detailed targeting. Yeah, anything like remotely related to faith based stuff as well or anything political or anything like that has been pulled so like you can't even even if someone has a job title that says
pastor you can't target them or, you know, minister or anything, it's all out.
You have to use like your creative and yeah it's definitely extreme censorship for sure. I mean this is again this is the point guys this is part of the frustration of like it's Facebook can do what they want.
It's their, it's their platform, right so like at the end of the day, like whether it's right or wrong like they can do what they want because we're just renting space.
So, we're going to leverage the rented space as best we can and the good news is we have the Holy Spirit so we can find ways around this like we can be creative like he knows away we're not going to like throw, but that tension that frustration that anger.
We're not giving ourselves over to it we're just going to take it for what it is it's Hey, if something's moving us to take further action, and so we're, we're, we're in the same spot as you guys as far as with our ads and stuff and so ways around that as we've just,
we've had to get a little bit smarter about how we like we doing the leads and then we're communicating with people right off the bat through email, right, and so getting them to take fast action video I dropped and anyone's welcome to watch that video like I walked
through our whole funnel like how the emails are working because we're using tribe for it so I was showing our tribe, like clients like how to how to run a challenge using their tribe platform.
So, that's all there. But cool. Okay. Yeah, thank you. Well that's that's a big, that's kind of shocking news I didn't know that right yeah as for a long time so I was completely unaware that this has changed that much.
Well, let me go to Denise, really quick.
Thank you, whose name is zoom user.
Hi, oh it is yeah because I couldn't get out of my computer. Um, it's great to see you guys today and thanks for all your sharing, and I will be praying for you I think you are on the cutting edge for sure.
life interruptions with me and so I have to go, I actually have a client at two, but that's okay my questions can wait and they have to do with anchor. Anyway, so I.
You can drop it in the Facebook group and we can answer it there.
Just tag us there.
Just tag us, we can do it as well.
Okay.
Great.
It's great seeing you today.
Thanks.
Take care.
Uh-huh.
Oh.
Yeah.
I don't know, Marcella, if you're in the group.
Let's go back here.
You can unmute yourself, Marcella.
I'll drop the link here.
Because you're in the members group, you may have to request access to the group, but it'll
automatically approve you immediately because you're in the right group.
And you'll see, even if you just sign into the group, you'll see it's the first thing
on the list.
Okay.
Cool.
And I love your live, Lindsay, I caught it right after you finished.
I'm so grateful, guys.
It was definitely on a whim and something I'm just personally practicing is imperfect
action.
And if I want to get better at things, I just have to start doing them, right?
So I want to get better at being able to go live and share and things like that.
So that was kind of me starting to take action.
So it's really encouraging to hear you guys say that.
And hopefully it inspires you and encourage you guys to take some imperfect action because
there's other people on the side of your yes that would probably be ministered to as well
with things that you have to share.
It's awesome.
It's really good.
Well, you know, I felt your heart come through.
So even with all the quirkiness, maybe that you know, you kind of mentioned it talked
about, I thought it was great because it was just so authentic.
And at the end of the day, I really felt your heart.
So yeah, so much with me.
Yeah.
I'm going to start doing that more often.
Hopefully.
That's awesome.
Cool.
Person that'll help.
Liam, Brendan, do you guys have a hard stop because we definitely want to get to your
thing.
I just do want to do the printing.
Yeah, I just want to make sure that they have time to stick around.
Yeah.
I can't see you guys.
Because I'm sorry, moving things around.
Do you have time to stick around?
Or do you guys got to go?
Oh, you're muted.
You're muted.
We've got time to stick around because after this, go straight back to bed.
So we'll definitely get you guys help, but did you want to have anyone facilitate it?
Amy.
It was Amy's idea.
Do you mind just praying on behalf of everyone?
I know everyone's going to be, I know everyone's been praying and we'll be praying, but if
you could just on behalf of the group.
I would be honored.
Father, we thank you for your presence in our midst, Lord, and that in these meetings
you move and you shape and you even stretch and grow us, Lord, you encourage us.
And I lift up Bruce and Lindsay to you, Lord, they're doing more in where you're leading
them out.
And Lord, you already see the shape that this next stretch looks like.
They've already been stretched by you and they're walking into it and there's warfare
going on, not just for them, but in all of our lives in some form or fashion.
And God, I just pray for a great grace for each of us, for Bruce and Lindsay and for
the rest of us who are experiencing pushback and really just, it's like clutter, distractions,
hard things, heavy things, Lord, that require attention and require thought, require prayer.
And yet, God, none of that can change the shape of what you are stretching us into,
Lord, because you yourself intend to fill that shape with yourself and to send exactly
what we need to be able to stretch into that.
As Lindsay said in her live and also in her Kingdom Messenger post video, that you are
not just the provider, but you are the provision, Lord, and what you've done is already complete.
And so I thank you, Lord, that your anointing is on.
them, that your presence goes with them. And Lord, you've
already even stretched them further. You know what that
shape is going to look like. And you will be the provision in
that and we thank you. And Lord, I just pray that as what you've
given them, what you've given Bruce in developing tribe, and
what he's been doing to, to support his family, God, just
the gifts that you placed in him, the intellect, the
creativity, the learnability, God that you would bless that
Lord, you've been you've been stretching this, stretching them
into this next step that's coming up, starting tomorrow,
Lord, you've been doing it for a while for a long time. And
and so Lord, I thank you that your blessing is on that. And I
pray God, that you would draw new people, you would draw those
that need to come in to this, into the community and into the
offer, Lord, that you may bless them, that you may begin a
stretching process in them through Bruce and Lindsay, and
what you're doing in their lives. So Lord, I just I thank
you for your peace. I just pray that they would get good rest.
And that your peace and your joy, and really your energy
would would carry them through these next three days. And we
just praise you and we thank you in Jesus name. Amen.
Amen. All the Australian kookaburras started waking up
and laughing at the end of me.
We can't hear you.
One quick thing. While the prayer was going on, I saw Psalm
23 in my head, that God will set a table before before you in
the presence of your enemies. I just I just want to say that
before you in the presence of your enemies. I just see that.
So. So hey, we're all around that table. And we're just
laughing at the enemy because he can't do he can't he's just
trying to get our attention.
That's very, we were muted when we were muted. So you were
saying you felt a shift. I was telling Amy while she was
praying, I felt a shift. I definitely felt something
shift. So I appreciate those prayers. And all of you guys. I
loved what Lee said. laughing at the enemy. That is the only
rightful reaction. Whenever we come up against resistance, the
enemy is laughter. It breaks so many things. And then Walt, what
you shared about there's so there's so much that we'll
eventually get into with you guys. But that is very on point
that promise about preparing a table in the presence of our
enemies. Very meaningful to us that scripture and that promise.
So thank you so much.
Awesome. We appreciate you guys. Awesome. Really?
Sorry, I was gonna say one quick thing. Lindsey, you said that
there's been some shifting. There's just been a shift. I've
got a tick tock on that if you're interested. Yeah, there's
shifting going on here.
So good. You guys are such a gift. Well, we will stick on to
help Lee and Brendan. If anyone else, it's a Bruce question.
So welcome to stay welcome to go. But okay. Love you guys.
We'll see. I'll let you go get him. Awesome. Yeah, we'll hang
out with you guys all week. It's the fun thing about doing
challenges.
Okay, let's do some active campaign. Do you want to share
your screen and then I've got all the links here. And just so
everybody if any, you want to stay if you don't even know what
we're talking about, we're going to help install an active
campaign form onto their WordPress site. And so it should
be really straightforward. And if we would get it up and running
quick. So I'm sure someone else will have something or this
actually works.
So just realize, because our WordPress site, we personally
don't have access to it. It's our web. Yeah. So in saying that,
though, yeah, that's okay. If we Yeah, I think he's given us
access in the past. Yeah. Word around the coding, which we
could ask that I can. Well, that's why I can help you with
Yeah, if you want, but basically you would go to your website and just go slash like
wp-admin and then that will be where you would log in.
So I don't know if you have a username and password.
Yes, we do.
Let me, while you're there, can I quick, I'll quickly grab my password book.
Yeah.
And I'll drop a link here as well.
There's like a step-by-step guide on it, but cool.
While she's doing that, I saw Xavier on the, how are you doing?
Oh yeah.
Sorry.
I've been having a little trouble with my mouse.
I'm actually doing good.
It's good to see everybody.
I jump in when I can, but Lindsey was talking about a shift and when Amy was praying, I
actually got an image of this, this giant wave that was being held back by the enemy.
Okay.
And just building up and building up and it's about to crest, you know, and God is moving
on so many fronts.
Yeah.
And so I applaud, you know, I applaud what everybody's doing and I just wanted to say,
you know, just, just to let you know.
So yeah, I've got a lot of catching up to do and hopefully this week I'll, I'll, I'll
start getting caught up again and, and I'm crossing my fingers that my work schedule
will start letting me attend these works live again.
Yeah.
We'll look forward to having you.
I appreciate you sharing that because I, when I, we were, she was praying, I had a picture
that there was a wall or a wave, but I was like, I don't really know what that is.
And then your word clarified that.
So that's really meaningful.
That's great.
Yeah.
Appreciate that.
So no, no problem.
Yeah.
Well, I hope to have you on if you can, but if not, yeah, absolutely.
I've decided if I can't make it live, I'm just going to start posting some, you know,
some short videos and, and, and asking my questions then.
And that's great.
Yeah.
Just tag, tag us in it.
Yeah.
That's what I'm going to do.
So I've, I've already got one prepared.
I just got to shoot it when I can, but I had a meeting in, so I was able to jump on at
least for, you know, part of the meeting today.
So hi everybody.
I've missed you.
Awesome.
Bruce, I just, I just had a thought because I didn't, I didn't realize that about needing
that password for WordPress for our website.
What I, what I can do is I can get that and locate it.
So next coaching session.
I can have that prepared because I'm sorry, I just assumed we'll get in there and you'd
be able to do it.
And then I didn't think about getting that.
But that's, that's easy to get.
I can get that.
Cool.
Yeah.
And is it, is it live?
What was the exact domain for it?
I'll give you that in the chat.
Yeah.
Cause you can, if you just add like WP.
Oh, okay.
I see what you mean.
Let's try that.
Let's do it.
I'm just wondering if maybe it's in your saved passwords or something.
Yeah.
It could be.
And if it's good, good to have that login anyway, just because it kind of gives you
access to your own site.
Some people, and that's the thing is if it is installed on a server or he has, you know,
again, this is one of those taking ownership things that we want to deal with, but yeah.
So if you just add that, like what I just put in the chat slash WP dash admin, Brendan,
do you mind writing that down in the password?
Yeah.
So slash.
Yeah.
WP for dash and then admin.
Is it dash?
Dash is that?
Yeah.
Just like that.
Yep.
And then yeah.
Just hit enter.
See what comes up there.
Yeah.
Okay.
So it's got his.
That could work.
Yeah.
We can try it.
He may.
Okay.
You may have it.
Yeah.
There we go.
So you must have come to it before and Safari saved it for you, so.
Cool.
For some reason, it's like a little, there you go.
Perfect.
Okay.
So you have.
So one thing you'll do is go to plugins here.
Yep.
And then, oh, so he's already got it there.
Yep.
That's good.
Okay.
So we can actually skip to the next.
I think it's under tools.
Or settings.
Sorry.
Settings.
We just write this secretly.
Elementor, perfect.
Yes, this should be, let me just, what do they call it?
We installed that.
Bruce, do we need to write this down?
We're running.
No, so like, oh, there it is.
It is under settings.
It's just there under active campaign.
Do you want me to click on that?
Sure.
And then here, okay.
So then we want to go back to active campaign
in a new, in yet another tab.
And I think it's under settings, bottom there.
Yep, I had to get this for him.
The API.
The API thing, yeah.
This may be set up then.
So did he, I'm just, it seems like he did 90% of it.
I was just curious where he got stuck.
Yeah, I was gonna share the video with him too,
but then he said, we'll get some help today
and see if we can, yeah.
Yeah, so if you have the API,
well, let's just go back to WordPress
then in the top banner here.
And let's see, if you go back to the WordPress site,
yeah, let's just see what he's got saved there.
If it's in there.
Okay, so it's already in there.
We'll just keep it like that.
Yeah, that's what I gave to him on email.
Yeah, so maybe just copy,
just copy this from the brackets there.
And-
Oh, within the brackets or outside the brackets?
Everything, yeah, including the, yeah.
And let's just,
and then let's go to the,
I think it's under Elementor here at the top,
or pages, sorry, up here.
Do you know which page you want it on?
I'm thinking the front page.
Yeah, just click on all pages.
Okay, so where it says front page,
that's going to be your home.
Yep, tick on that box.
Yeah, and you want to say like edit with Elementor.
Okay.
Yeah, I think that's very confusing
because like if I want to just click home, but yeah.
Let's see.
Oh, wow, yeah.
Okay, so this is the whole page.
So like if you wanted to change the text here,
you could click in and then you could just change it.
Right.
So this gives you kind of access to everything.
So where do you, where should we put it?
If it's going to pop up.
I think it's going to be just like in line.
Yeah.
So maybe scroll down a bit here.
Let's see what, let's see if there's a good spot for it.
Okay.
Oh, I can fix the mistake.
Okay, he did.
Yep.
Okay.
So if you wanted,
I would put it pretty high up the page if you wanted.
Yeah.
I would put it pretty high up the page if you.
Yeah, I think this is what you see on an iPhone.
That's the first little bit, the color.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
So if you, yeah, if you scroll down,
let's try to add like a section here.
We're about to scroll down.
Yeah, let me see if I can.
Oh, here it is.
Okay.
Let's see if it'll let me.
Approve, yep.
Okay, cool.
Let's just see how fast it is.
It may be slow from the other side of the world.
That's not too bad.
Okay.
So I think you can hit like add section here.
Yep.
And then we can drag.
So there's actually multiple ways to add it.
So let's just see if he tried to do it one way.
It has been a minute since I used Elementor, in fact.
Drag widget.
Oh, let's just do this.
And then let's go back here to shortcuts.
Code.
I wonder if you can like.
Oh, there we go.
Is it going now?
Maybe do you want to see if you can just like drag and drop this shortcode into the little
blue area?
Oh no, maybe it's not letting me.
There.
Yes.
Perfect.
Okay.
So at the top left here, we'll just paste your form.
So I just did it.
Yeah.
Other than the form ID, we're going to go back to your active campaign and we're going
to go to your forms, which is here.
Is it this one?
Or which one of these?
Can you just click on it, Bruce?
So I've just, I think it's this one.
Yeah, that's it.
Okay.
And that's the one I was trying to embed the video, but I didn't know how to.
Okay.
Well, we can put the video here.
So this is, it's form three is the ID, because we can just go, and then just, I'm just looking
at that three.
So that's all we have to change.
Okay.
All right.
Ah, brilliant.
I told you.
Perseverance.
I told you it'd be fast.
Ah, you're amazing.
This is good.
Let's see.
So it should be there.
Let's see if it's there.
Yeah, there it is.
Okay.
Okay, perfect.
So, yeah, I mean, at least it's there and it's functional.
So you could come back and, you know, this is where you could add a video here and do
like a side-by-side.
That's where you don't necessarily want to add that to the active campaign side.
You can just add a video.
Yeah.
That's really good.
Well done.
I think you just need a, do we hit save?
Will that pop up?
Yeah, just make sure, I think there's like a, just make sure we saved it.
Oh, yeah.
Down below.
Did we?
Is that where it is?
Okay.
Cool.
Okay.
Can I just check that that saved Bruce?
Like, I don't have.
Yeah.
If you just want to open a new tab and go to the website.
That's probably the easiest live, um, uh, private, sorry, we're, we're working on an
integration for tribe social.
That's called live peer social and yours is thrive here.
Like, and so that's why I was like, I kept typing in the wrong, there we go.
Okay.
Perfect.
Yeah.
Awesome.
And Bruce, how do we make that pop up to them or just, so it's kind of funny, but in this
little, like when, in the article that I shared, which is in the chat, um, if you click
on that, it's actually, I think that they actually limit you based on which plan you
have to be able to pop up, which is a little annoying, but it is what it is, but yeah,
you can, um, they call it a floating boss.
Well, it's for like the plus and professional, I guess.
I don't know what plan you're on, but, um, there is a way to do it and that's how you
would just do that.
But yeah.
That's, can I say, thank you because that's been three months in the making.
Oh my goodness.
Well, now you can watch this tech issues even beyond our wonderful web developer.
It was wonderful.
Yeah.
That's probably my, might be where he got stuck.
He could get it popped up, gone.
Yeah.
That's good.
That's probably is.
Yeah.
Um, we'll save that now that we can edit different things around.
Yeah.
And you come back and watch this.
I'm going to put this in the recording.
So if you do need to come back and watch those steps, thank you.
Have a great week.
We'll see you later.
See you guys.
