you doing? You guys hear us okay? Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Hey,
Susie.
Looks like Susie's on the road too.
She's on the road. We're on the road, as you can tell. So we're
just let everybody take a second to join. I'm going to get us
live on Facebook here. All right. Keep it going.
Okay, we're excited. This is our final call. And we wanted to
take time to celebrate. You know, we talked on Monday's
prayer call about the intensity of life sometimes the intensity
of our journey and something the Lord has been graciously
challenging me on is being intense about the right thing
intensifying the right things in our lives. And celebration is
something that I feel the Lord wants to turn up the intensity
on in our lives. And so we wanted to take this call, this
is going to be our first ever, we're going to be sharing award
winners of those who have reached 1000 and 10,000. And
just take some time to celebrate the community and celebrate the
numbers and celebrate the impact and what the Lord has done in us
and through us, not just over the last eight weeks, but for
many of you over the last 12 months as we've been together.
So anything else you want to share as we're jumping in, we're
getting some of the
we're streaming and we're live everywhere.
Yeah, so we're in a co working space today. So it's like our
home away from home is our my internet was going in and out.
There's like maybe a tropical storm coming toward coming
towards us. But um, we have been and we've been covering Florida
in prayer. I promise we'll share a picture of our setup.
The setup has gotten more and more creative as this week has
gone on gone on. So it is all good.
Awesome. Well, um, should we go into don't oppress and then
absolutely, Lord, thank you so much for today. This is a day of
celebration. This is a day of testimony. And your word says
that they overcame him by the blood of the lamb and the word
of our testimony and our testimonies are stories of our
journey with you. And this has been such a significant part of
Bruce and my journey to walk with these kingdom messengers
throughout the year in the last eight weeks. And so Holy Spirit,
we just welcome you here. We welcome your joy. We welcome
your peace. And we celebrate you and Jesus and the Father today.
Amen.
Amen. Awesome. All right. Well, it's gonna be good. It's gonna
be we just need to take a deep breath. I wish you guys could
have experienced the last 15 minutes of our lives. It was it
was a bit busy, but we're here. So we'll kind of jump into where
I think I told Bruce, we were talking about this this week.
And I said, you know, it's so easy for us to get focused on
where we are not. And this is something that the enemy wants
to do with us in our lives, right? And he wants us to
identify with the I am not I am not this, I am not that, when
the Lord has given us and I am this, you know, and his union
with him, and it includes the work of our hands, I feel like
so many kingdom people live under intense amounts of stress
when it comes to their partnership with the Lord, the
work of their hands, and it's not meant to be that way. And so
I just said, you know, part of this is like, we need to take
the time to mark this moment. And it's not about what we
haven't done yet, or how we could have done better, or
we're feeling so behind. But this is about how far we have
come. And the beauty of the body of Christ is it is a body. So
one of our wins is all of our wins. And so that's what I also
want us to focus on is this is a this is about community when as
much as it is about each of these individual, you know,
channels that are reaching the 1000 and 10,000 mark. So yeah,
awesome. So I'm gonna take a little bit of time, and we're
going to just kind of recap what we've talked about what we've
learned in the eight week intensive. Yeah. And then we'll
get into some awards. Like was he saying, we're going to give
away some awards the first time we've ever done this. And so we
have a backlog, I think we have about 35 people that are getting
awards. Some of them have been active within these last eight
weeks. Some of these are people who have been with us the last
almost two years, but we're like, we haven't taken the time
to do this yet and mark the moment. So that's what we're
doing. And I think for us as well. It's like, it's just a
nice way to solidify. It's like a it's a it's a sign of a
testimony as well as the Lord has done a lot of us kind of
started with, hey, like, I've got this prophetic word, or I've
got this thing in my heart that I want to get out. And now, you
know, there's something just kind of a reminder of like, wow,
look what the Lord has done. He gave us this word. And now this
is where it's not ending. I think it's a marker, but it's
not a it's not a it's not an end of a journey. We like
continuing forward. Yeah. So, so we started these eight, eight
weeks together. You know, I feel like the Lord
infused us with this reminder of before we can take external territory, we have to be aware of
the internal territory that he's taking within us, what he's building within us, what he's growing
within us. And so a lot of what we've been talking about, especially on our Tuesday calls,
has been this marrying of those two things. It's not necessarily one or the other. They're not
disconnected. What's happening in us is overflowing out of us always. But I think, you know, I was
very jealous for us not to get caught up in just the outward expression of our ministries, but also
remain focused on not pressing pause on what the Holy Spirit is doing in us. And so when we took
on this idea of short form, I love the idea that we have a group of kingdom people that are
leveraging something unique and on trend. We're not 10 years behind, right? Like short form video
is what is happening right now. And so that's what we jumped in on with. I mean, we felt a
little bit crazy. You guys know the story, even me getting on TikTok, but just to take the group
and say, actually, guys, instead of continuing forward with the long form episode and stuff,
let's just take a focused amount of time and really launch and then leverage short form content
to continue to get the gospel out there. Yeah. And in a unique way. I mean, this is what the it's
like, we're not behind in the world when it comes to this trend in technology, which I love,
because that's been something I think that's been an accusation of the enemy is the church is always
10 years behind, you're always catching up or always avoiding the new thing. And that is just
not so. We are on the cutting edge because we have the kingdom advantage and all that we do.
That's awesome. Yeah. And I think just for some perspective, like the fact that you guys are
creating short form content, this is kind of what we've, we've even just tracking lots of
different video influencer type conferences. And like the hot topic the last year has been
everybody needs to be starting to do short form. So you guys are, you guys are doing it, right?
So a lot of times people are going from, I was doing podcasts to video, longer form type stuff.
And now it was like, and I have to kind of shift gears and I'll add this whole short form thing.
That's why we felt that we should just go skip to the front of the line, right? Like go right to
what's, what's like, what's happening now. And this is not just what the church is doing with
this, but like, even if you look at business and marketing, it's like in my field all the time,
it was like, you guys got to get, you guys got to get on short form. It's like, we're doing it.
So are you doing it? And it's for the sake of the kingdom, which I love. Yeah. And so that's,
what's been happening. Like, I just don't want us to lose perspective of like, yeah, it was fun.
Like we got on TikTok. It's like, no, we are cutting edge kingdom messengers that are leveraging
what's available today and turning things on its head for the sake of the kingdom. I mean,
that's the Romans 8 28, right? We're taking all we're partnering with the Lord and taking all
things and it's been turned for good. It's awesome. Yeah. I see. Reba says not behind
frontline. Absolutely. That's awesome. Yes. And so just know that like, even for businesses and,
and other stuff like this is, this is very new and this is why everybody's like trying it up.
So I think again, love that. So the encouragement though is too, if it feels like, oh, I don't quite
know what I'm doing yet. I think everyone's still there because they're figuring it out, but we have
given, we've, we've given you all you need, especially these last eight weeks as when it
comes to, okay, these are ways that you can leverage editing. Even these are like ways that
you can leverage your time to get those creative reps in. So now it's about continuation and
consistency. Yeah. Yeah. And even you can't really even find, cause we have looked for like agencies
or businesses that will do this for you. If that makes sense, like you can't find
agencies or people who are doing Tik TOK essentially. Cause if you guys feel like,
oh, I feel like I'm doing everything I'm having to record and write and post and do all the things.
So just know that like that, there's a reason for that. That's because there's just, there's no one
you can actually go and like, nevermind someone who's like, you know, Christian that could,
that could actually do the content. So you guys are learned a fantastic skill. I know it takes time.
And one thing that we'll mention as well, we're gonna talk a lot about numbers today,
and I would've got people in different phases, right. Who have just kind of just launched people
who have been maybe running for a few months and then people that maybe even doing it for a year
or so. And so we just want to preface it and say that this, like the difference between if you're
kind of getting close to a thousand or you're 500 to a thousand and the difference between that and
10,000 is just adding one thing. And that's adding time and just being consistent and keeping those
creative reps going and finding a pace that you can keep up with and be consistent. You don't,
it's not like, Oh, there's five new tactics you have. I mean, there's lots of things you can learn
as you go, but it's really just the longevity of the time of it that you need to give it. And so
the fact, if you guys have gotten a few hundred subscribers in the last
eight weeks, that is amazing. Like that is, that is, that is awesome.
chain just a couple of weeks ago, you know, like that's just to put that in perspective.
And it's so easy to start comparing, but like, it's huge and you should celebrate that.
And if you can get a hundred, you can get 500, you can get a thousand, you can get 10,000,
a hundred thousand, like it scales just by adding time and just being consistent and keep showing
up for you. So just want to let you know that that's not something like, oh, well, I haven't
hit a certain milestone because this is a never ending game. So as soon as you hit a hundred
thousand, you're going to try to get to 200,000. Once you get 200, you're like, let's get to 500.
Let's get to a million. And there, we know content creators who have, uh, I've seen this
on YouTube where they have 50 to 60 million subscribers where they're literally like,
how do I get to 70 million? How do I get to 75 million? Right. So just, just a key perspective
there. That's exactly. So awesome. And then tech wise, you guys have learned quite a few tools.
It's like, it's like you, it's like you went to a college course. It's kind of been stuffed into.
Yeah. We posted last night, Hey, we're looking forward to, you know, celebrating the intensive.
And, uh, Isaac was like, it definitely has been intense. So, um, but awesome.
But seeds have been sown in this ground and there will continue to be harvest.
Yeah, absolutely. And I think, um, yeah, I think that there was something else I was going to say
just about, um, the eight weeks you talk about the inner, um, outer thing, and then just to talk
about some of the prayer calls, because I think that's been a highlight. It's been a highlight
for me, our Monday night prayer calls that came, that was birthed out of, you know, what the Lord
said about it's internal as well as external. And so I wanted us to have a focus time as a group
and those who could not make it, you guys were covered. You know, we, we covered you guys in that
as well, but we wanted to focus on what gifts the Lord was giving us to receive and taking
intentional time to receive those gifts. And really the kind of our last prayer call we talked about
what was happening was it's a, it's an awareness. It's what we have already been given in Christ,
but it's, it's, we are becoming more and more aware of those things. So, um, we, we over the
last eight weeks received courage on behalf of our entire community. We received love,
we received joy and hope, we received wonder, we received comfort, and we received a greater
capacity, which again was not a matter of us being, becoming stronger. It was becoming aware of how
strong we already are in Christ. And those are things that you guys are taking with you. It's
not something that stays behind. It's what you take with you as you continue this journey ahead.
Awesome. And, um, we'd love to hear as well, like we're going to keep talking through stuff
that you mentioned, we're going to take some shares as well. You do want to take some shares
because, and, and we're going to, we'll be specific about it because we don't want to
honor people's time, but part of sharing the testimony is allowing you guys to share. So
we want to give you some time to even think about it. Um, but what we want to ask is like,
what is one breakthrough that you are taking with you out of these eight weeks out of this
membership as you continue on your journey after today? Um, so think about that for a second.
We like 30 seconds, 30 seconds, 60, 30 seconds, make it, make it a tick tock. You guys are good
at doing 60 seconds or less now, but there's something about, um, there's an activation
that comes with verbalizing that and declaring that and saying, this is something, this is a
breakthrough. This is a testament. This is a piece that I'm taking with me. So yeah. So we'll
give you guys just a minute to think about that. And then, uh, we can jump to, or Marcella's got
her hand up. Let's go, let's go girl. I love it. So I, you know, I was thinking about this,
um, just thinking about my growth, um, over the last couple of days when I got the email and,
you know, it was all the talk about the, the excitement for today and the celebration.
So one of the things for me, um, that I did not see happening just, I can't even explain it,
but anyway, one of the major things was just being able to see something bigger, something
broader, something wider, something like that. Ephesians 3 20. That's what this group provided
for me. Not, you know, just getting, you know, a key called Abraham out from his family,
everything that was familiar and, and told him just go where I'm, I'm showing you where to go.
And Bruce and Lindsay kingdom messengers, you guys provided me, uh, with that following God to,
to a land I never even knew existed imagined, or that I would even be a part of it. Didn't
even think I was qualified or, or felt adequate to be a part of. So, um, yeah, that's my, that's my,
that's my one thing. I have others, but that's amazing. I love that.
Same Bobby. I would see your hand. We'll have you go next.
Yeah. Thanks. Um, Dr. Marcel, that was wonderful too. I agree for me. I think it was more like.
Hebrews 11 one, be sure of what you hope for and certain of what you do not see. And Bruce and
Lindsay, both of you are such a call you this sweet little kingdom couple, I tell my kids,
you know, they're just such a kingdom couple. But you complement each other really well. And you
made it really simple not to give up. My dad always said, if you don't give up, you'll make it
period. That's like, you don't give up, you'll make it. And so you guys made made it easy not
to give up. So after about what I think it's been probably almost a year, but I just came off the
bench. And I it's weird. At first, I was just doing it because the Lord said that that's what
I should do. And but now I really love I love it. I get excited to share what God's given me. So
and you guys have given us a nice like funnel to the people. So thanks so much. Yeah.
Amen. That's amazing. Hey, Susie.
There. I'm on my iPad for the first time. Well, who? I think that doing the tick tocks has
trained me and being simple, concise, and short. And, and it's, it's put my thinking into smaller
segments. So I've just spent three hours driving with Charlie who's new. I mean, he said, you're
talking about new territory, Marcella. He said, Is this another universe? Because he has been so
trapped in in religion and everything I'm saying he's saying, Whoa, really? And but I'm excited
because I've been trained to back down and really, really hear what he's saying. And to be very clear
about tick tock comments. Awesome. That's amazing. Hey, Marianne.
So for me, my biggest thing, I was very
discouraged by my YouTube videos. And and halfway through this, I finally started putting shorts
back on. And I'm only nine away from 100. Now that's really put up my count, which I'm excited
about, but for me, because that's the one thing that dragged me back. But also, you know, through
this, I started off doing the videos all at one time. And since then, I have stopped setting up
my camera and everything like that on my phone, and just carry it around and do it, do it wherever
I want to, which has shortened the time. And, you know, one day, I will do a couple, God gives me a
couple, I'll do them another day. And it's not a big deal. And so for me, it's really been simplified.
And, you know, when God gives you what you want to say, and it's in your heart, it's not hard to do.
So for me, that that's the big thing. And not only that, I feel like doing this.
When I put it all together, God's giving me revelation that I didn't have before.
And so all the little things I'm putting together, it's as if he's picked them out
to transform me. And so then I take them into church and preach them.
We're saying, so and thank you, Bruce and Lindsay, because without you, it wouldn't have happened.
It wouldn't have happened. So yeah, that's that's my one minute. I love it. Hey, Holly.
Where'd she go? She might have disappeared. Oh, there you are. I clicked the wrong picture. Hi.
So, um, yeah, so I feel like this whole year, I've had so many just life interruptions,
just like one thing after the other. But I think I have been becoming aware of how much I can do,
like how much I can manage at one time. And I know I wouldn't have done I mean, it's I've
had a really slow process, but I know I wouldn't have done any of it without this group. And I've
been really amazed by the support of this whole community. And people always message me and leave
comments. And we kind of discuss back and forth. And that's been so helpful, just, you know, keeping
me going little by little by little. So I really, really appreciate that. I didn't expect that at
all. So that's been really, really great. And also want to celebrate that I was able to consistently
post for eight weeks straight, which I've never done ever, even though even though it was just
kind of spotty at times, and I had to just like, do what Marian is saying, just like fill in the
thing and then send it without editing. I was able to do it. And even, you know, the last 10 days
have been a whirlwind. My father in law passed away, and we jumped in the car to be with the
him. And so that kind of was a pause in my life. And, um, they,
they, I took care of them for four months too. So it's just
been a lot, a lot, a lot of things, but I've been just kind
of moving momentum one step at a time. So I'm thankful for that.
We are so proud of you. That's amazing. And like Bobby said,
don't give up and you'll make it. So I love that. Like even if
it wasn't perfect, you continued on. Thank you. Awesome. Hey,
Reba and Brett. Hi guys. I, I second, a lot of what Holly
said, especially about the surprise of the community that
we build in the comments section. Right. Um, and for us,
we're coming full circle cause it was a year ago when we joined
you and I'm just so grateful. I can't help but cry because we
love you guys. And we're glad that you took that first step to
the front line to say, we don't want just for us, but for the
community. Um, I think that, you know, the idea that joy comes in
the morning and that we share a lot of the joy in short form,
but, um, the depth that we have through the community too, that
we know that we're not just putting on a pretty face for
other people. Like that's God's strength. That's his
faithfulness. And so when I think of, you know, just going
to short form where we were really focused on wanting to get
the music onto YouTube, um, that moves so that we brought more
people with us. And now that thousand on Tik TOK is people
that are not in our community. Those are all new people. And so
we're looking forward to, you know, building the YouTube
community now too, to support the people that we already do
know. So they have that place to connect with us and to
connect with God, right? Soaking sound so that others can connect
with God.
When I met Rebecca, uh, 20 years ago, and when we understood that
we were going to be doing all of this together, I said to her,
the nations are in us. And there was no way to know at that time,
the assumption would be that we're physically going to be
going to the nations, but this was God's plan from the
foundation of the world, the odds against us crossing paths.
It's incredible. It's kingdom. And we are, we are messengers.
We're just getting started. And we know that and we're grateful.
So I'm glad for the opportunity to tell you both. Thank you very
much.
Amazing.
Love you guys. Thank you so much for sharing. So cool. Hey,
Cindy.
Okay. Um, I have to ditto like several of those comments, but I
didn't make it very far
with posting. But hearing people say that they didn't do it right
away either. And yet God still brought it around where they are
still brought it around where they are now. And that was so
encouraging. And
as a as a team, and not being alone in this, and having people
to talk to and ask questions, and see that they're having
times where they had to be away from it for a while due to
family, like I'm having to do. You know, but I know that it's
coming. And I've learned so much. And I thank you for all
that you've done.
Awesome. Thank you, Cindy. This is the launching pad. It is not
the end game. Like this is a continuing journey. And I do
want to say because I know that there has been a lot of loss.
You know, Rebecca and Brett, Holly, Amy lost her mother
earlier, you know, and I don't want to start naming people,
leaving people out, but the Lord gives is so kind to give us each
other. Community, community, community, community. And it's,
it's one way that he holds us in the midst of ever swirling
circumstances. And it gives us an opportunity to lean into his
character alone, as we display that character to each other. So
I just want to say, because you guys are thinking Bruce and I,
which I so receive and so appreciate and it's so humbling,
but it would not have been what it was without each of you
pouring into each other. So I just want you to recognize that
as well. Each of you bring something to the table. And what
you carry, you're carrying with you into the continuing
journey. So we
love you guys. Tamir, I see your hand.
Yeah. Okay, y'all. Okay. I just have to say thank you for
calling out the best in me. For gifting me with this community.
As well as just being such a dream. I get to see you guys
behind the scenes and you are just as supportive and loving
and caring. And I mean, Bruce has the patience of Job. You
know, so I just have to applaud you publicly to say is not just
during these sessions. But even behind the scenes, you guys have
been tremendous, even in personal issues in my life,
joining in with me in prayer for my dad, you know, just so many
different things. And I'm touching people around the world
because you guys answered the call. For me, it's just it. I
don't want to lose the awe of that, that when I check my
analytics, and I see that I'm touching people in Italy and in
Europe, and you know, around the world, I'm just like, wow, it
blows my mind. And I'm grateful, because I wouldn't have known
how to do it without you. So thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
And thank you, you for you specifically, we're so grateful
to have you on the team you for in this community. So it's like
such a it's a gift. And that is not something that comes
naturally to everyone. And it's it's I've learned a lot from you
and your gift of encouragement. So thank you for that. Hey,
Xavier.
Ah, thank you all. I want to thank everybody. And I'm going
to be brief. But I realized, I didn't realize the Lord brought
it to my attention after Monday night, that I had a prophetic
dream several years ago. And I hadn't forgotten about it. I
just hadn't really thought about it in a long time. And this
group is really the fulfillment of that prophetic dream. I
didn't know and what we're taking and where we're going and
what we're going to do with our, our kingdom messages that are
going out to the world. And so that just the realization of
that and whatever each patient every person is doing, is is is
a complete fulfillment of that. And it just kind of blew my mind
all over again, when when I realized it, so I'm not going to
go into it now. In fact, what I'll probably do is just record
something, I'll post it so that you guys can get it can share it
with you. But I didn't want to take the time now except to
thank each and every one of you. And we're all moving along. And
what God has planned is far greater than what any of us can
imagine individually. Okay, this is this is far, far greater. And
the impact of what we're doing is going to be far, far greater.
And when I share the dream online, you'll, I think you'll
understand it, and you'll get it. But I know that I know that
I know that what this group is doing, okay, is the fulfillment
of that dream that he gave me so many years ago. And I'm just
thrilled. And I think you use the word odd. I am completely
odd by by all of it. And so I just want to thank you all for
answering God's calling, and being a part of this.
I love that. And Xavier, I, this is why I don't want to start
naming names, because you two experienced tremendous loss
during our time together as a community. And I want to honor
you, Laura, as well, Laura Hinman, you guys have
demonstrated each and every one of you who experienced Marcella
again, I'm gonna leave someone out probably. But you know, if
you if you, you guys demonstrated, this is the only
opportunity that we'll have in this moment in time in this
great valley of loss, where we'll be able to praise God at
such a great sacrifice to us. And each of you leaned in in
your own way. And we learned so much from just how all of you
all have walked through this are walking through this. And I just
want to it connected the dots for me, because I was speaking
to the Lord this morning about this group. And I just I wanted
like a picture. And something that he said to me about this
group, specifically this, the people in this membership and in
our intensive was what the enemy set out to make speechless has
made him has made the enemy speechless. So there has been a
there have been things targeted in your lives, where the enemy
has wanted to shut you up and take out your voice. And you all
have leaned in in your own way in your own scenarios. And it
has made the enemy it has shut the mouth of the enemy. And so
we honor you guys. We love each and every one of you. Hey,
Janice.
Hi, guys. I'm a voice that you haven't heard.
but every Tuesday and Thursday,
Monday nights, I just came on.
I'm very much a part of this community.
Bruce and Lindsay, you guys are just awesome.
I don't wanna cry.
Thank you for how you've empowered me.
You know, I've always been like a chicken.
I don't know why I'm so bold at work.
And sometimes when it comes time to do the Lord's work,
I don't know, I chicken out.
But I found my voice.
What I realized is I wasn't certain what my content was.
But, you know, and please, I will be posting.
I hope we're still gonna be a family.
I hope, you know, and I also know who my who is now.
So thank you so much.
I'm gonna continue.
You will see me posting.
And it's just awesome, awesome, awesome.
What an awesome eight weeks.
Thank you.
I love every single one of you.
Thank you so much.
I'm looking forward to seeing your post, Janice.
You're just getting started.
So good.
Well, thanks guys for sharing.
This is so cool.
It's so cool to hear kind of different people.
And you said, like, we've done some live.
Some of you guys have been with us for eight weeks.
Some of you guys have been almost two years.
We've been hanging out, you know, on these calls every week.
So it's been, we've done some life together.
Like, when we started, we didn't have a baby.
Let's put that in perspective.
Like, we didn't have Hannah.
We had her, but she was still in the womb.
Yeah.
So we're super excited.
So we want to jump into the awards.
That's the fun part, right?
And again, you guys can kind of, this has been fun to kind of hear
where you guys are coming on.
But we do want to celebrate you guys now as well, just for what you guys have done.
So we have something that we've seen in other movements
and communities is this idea of like having some sort of,
not like a trophy or award or some sort of marker
that just defines the progress that's been made.
And again, I think that's just so helpful
as far as building a team culture together.
And in other movements, it's very much based on like,
you know, if it's a business thing, it could be like,
well, I hit this business milestone or I made X amount in a year.
Yeah, it could be dollar amount.
And so we thought, how cool would it be if we actually tracked
like how many people were actually reaching
and who's like, who actually reaching with the gospel
as kind of the metric, right?
That's not, it's all about influence and impact.
And it's not obviously income, but it's, we're tracking that as our measurement.
And that's why we've taken so much time to track numbers,
you know, for the last almost two years is just tracking every single Monday,
putting those numbers in the dashboard.
We have like the world's biggest spreadsheet
that tracks all of those different things.
But keeping a record of that has been really,
I feel like it's for all of us.
It's been a good stewardship of people
or it's actually giving to us, right?
We don't just post and every now and again, just glance at the numbers.
Like we're very much like aware of what,
how the Lord's growing each of your ministries
and keeping track of it.
So that's the beginning.
Cool, I think you have that beginning collective number.
This kind of blew me away.
So we want to look at some numbers here.
Let me pull this up.
So first, before we get into individual awards,
I just wanted to look at the some of the community growth.
And so here, let's see what we got.
So when we first started with my screen kind of set up here,
we had in February 2021,
we had 37,475 people that were in our community
that were following us as a collective.
So that's when we started.
This was the very first 90-day intensive.
Some of you are there.
I think Marcello was in there.
Yeah, that group, maybe someone else.
It's all kind of blurred.
It was almost two years ago.
And so then what we did is we did another challenge.
So that was our first challenge ever was in January.
We did that first 90-day intensive.
After that, we did our second challenge ever in June.
And so when that group of people joined,
we actually at the beginning of that,
we had 83,551 people following the Kingdom Messenger community.
And then we did another 90-day intensive.
And then in September, we did another challenge.
We brought some more peoples into for like a 12-month membership.
And at the beginning of September,
we had 118,475 people following in the community.
Now, I know we're jumping almost 11 months here
from September to October.
Since we did the 12-month and then we decided,
hey, for these last 12 months.
Last eight weeks.
The last eight weeks of the 12-month program,
we're gonna invite even more people into it
to help them launch with a short form.
And so we started in August with 293.
And that's what we had been building.
the year. Yeah, 293,189. So 293,189. You interrupted me halfway through my numbers.
No, I'm totally throwing up. Exactly, thanks. And then we're ending September here that I just
tracked these numbers today. The team pulled these out that it's 376,300. So we've increased,
I mean, whatever that is, you know, another seven plus 76. So like, 84,000 ish, you know,
thousand 84,000 that have been increased in two months, in just two months. So that's crazy. So
we very clearly see a trajectory for us to get to that goal of being at 1 million.
And this is like, I want, so we've never, we've never brought this up before, because we wanted
to be as full of integrity as we could be with the numbers. And the best way we could do that
was by actually counting subscribers, followers, like people who actually raised their hand and
said, I'm going to continue to follow your account. However, you guys know that when
some of your videos are getting 100,000 views, right? So there's something, it's not just people
who are following you, there is the reach factor of your messages going out to multiples of who's
actually following you. So we don't have this number because everything we're tracking right
now is manually, like maybe one day we'll build a software that can do this automated, but
but we have to be reaching a million people, right? Like if we have almost 400,000 people
following us, subscribe to us, the reach is probably well over a million.
Yeah. And generally on YouTube, like I think they're 20 to 30% of people that watch your stuff
will actually subscribe. And on TikTok, it's almost like 10 to 15% of people who watch your content
will actually subscribe because the algorithm is getting so smart that once they start watching,
that people that just kept seeing your stuff anyway. So these are kind of-
So the incentive for someone to follow is becoming less and less and less because they're seeing your videos
multiple times. It's almost as if they feel like they're following you, like they're not necessarily
always manually. But anyway, all that to say, almost 400,000 people is amazing, but know that
your reach is probably far more than that with the episodes that you're doing on these platforms,
which is really cool to think about. Amazing. So very, very cool. So part of what we want to do is,
so as a community, that's, we just want to celebrate the whole community as a whole.
And we do want to then highlight a few people. And the way we want to do this is we've got
some different awards that we've put together. And so the milestones we have right now,
one of the hardest milestones that we think is getting to the first thousand. So we have
our certificate that you'll get, we'll email this to you, and you can share this or whatever
in the Facebook group. Print it up and put it on your office wall. It's a marker. It's a huge
marker for you to be reaching a thousand people. Yeah, every week. Think about a room of a thousand
people. And exactly. And we'll look at some of that. I think I had, yeah, remember the thousand
graphic that we showed you guys? Like we do this in the training. We look at thousand. I mean,
that's a small, I mean, megachurch. That's huge. That's huge. Right. So just think about that. So
we're going to be giving those to over 30 people today have done that in this group. And unfortunately
not all of them are on the call today. So we're going to rebroadcast this whole little section,
and we're going to share this in the Facebook community group of the 1500. So if you're
watching the replay, welcome. Congratulations. You're on the replay. So once you pass a thousand,
then we're going to have this award that we have, which is a physical kind of trophy that we'll have
with your name on it and everything. And we've got an artist that's put these things together,
customized these for you. So we're giving out a couple of these today as well.
And then we just will be mailed to you. So it's something you put on your desk. It's physical.
And so that is really fun. And then we do have a fun hundred thousand person award as well,
because we believe that you guys are definitely going to have many people that hit over a hundred
thousand on this trajectory. So just really, really exciting. And this is something to see
you guys know that. So each of you guys will even after the membership ends today, like you'll still
have access to your dashboard. We're still going to be tracking your numbers, something you guys
can look up individually for yourself. And we'll have that collective counter. So as you hit those
markers, you'll be hearing from us with these awards. So it's something that happens. Absolutely.
That is not going away. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. And that's something we, we didn't really think it
all the way through when we first started the dashboard, but we're like, well, once we start
tracking this goal to a million, like we got to keep tracking everybody, you know, so this is good.
That's great. I think that's maybe why we haven't gotten the, to have the automated software yet.
It's gonna keep us linked in.
So let's jump into the first one.
So again, remember this is a thousand people.
I wanted to show this at the beginning of each one.
And so we're doing this fun award here.
You'll be getting this in your email
if you're on this list.
So we're gonna go through these one at a time
because it's really cool to see each person.
And so we have Stephen Viller, who joined recently.
We have Leanne Friesman, who's-
Been with us for over a year.
I think, yeah, every year.
Emery and Andreas, they actually did this.
They're lead pastors of a church in Canada.
I love that.
And they actually used this to grow their church following,
which is really cool.
Marianne Judson, mainly because she just has
such an awesome accent.
It's not fair.
I have Karina Reid, who's also been with us,
I think from the very beginning, from January.
Amy Ryburn.
We've got Amanda, Monica, Isaac, Heather, Brendan and Lee.
All the way from Australia.
Up with us very early in their mornings.
Vancey, Xavier, Marit, Gloria, Scott and Jenny,
Elaine, Luz, Ron, Hilary.
I should say Hilary and Michael.
He's her behind the scenes.
I know this because I feel like any posture success,
Bruce is there as well.
Cherie, Julia, Blonde, Jean,
Susie Marvin, Marcella, Dr. Marcella,
Brett and Reva, Maria, Holly,
Janice, Lynette, and Lisa.
Very good.
Awesome, awesome.
So super, super exciting, guys.
Let's give them a round of applause.
Give them a comment.
Just be like, well done, guys.
This is awesome.
I think there's some people missing off that list.
I don't think so.
Because I did not see Gloria.
She was on there.
Okay.
Was Michelle on there?
Michelle Cuss?
I think on there.
She was one.
Michelle Cuss got a thousand.
Right.
Okay.
Congratulations, Michelle as well.
Awesome.
Okay.
Very, very cool.
So we want to also now look at like the 10,000 mark as well.
And so again, this is what we consider
like your stadium sized audience, right?
So just growing towards 10,000 or above.
And we're going to be doing this award here,
which we'll be sending to you guys.
So we're starting out with Andreas and Emery.
They had 12,450 as of this week.
And so they actually grew.
And I want to kind of highlight this
as they had about 2,000 or so, 2,300 when they joined,
when they've added about 10,000 new people to it,
which is really exciting to see that.
So that is awesome.
Let's give it up.
Congratulations.
It's like an applause thing.
Yeah, like an applause thing.
You guys can unmute if you want.
It feels so anti-climatic.
We need like noisemakers.
And then we've got Leanne Friesman, who's jumped in here.
And when she started with us, she started in June.
She had 1,600 people following us across different.
And I think she maybe holds a record
for the biggest Facebook account out of everyone,
anyone on the system, more than posture.
So it's really exciting to see that.
So she's been doing that.
That's super exciting.
What I love to see as well is she has actually grown
another, I think it was 20, maybe like 8,000
or 9,000 in the last eight weeks, like since the intensive.
So that's been really exciting to see that.
Congratulations, Leanne.
Awesome.
Congrats.
And then we have Stephen Miller.
And Stephen was pretty interesting.
He actually did our challenge in January.
TikTok challenge.
TikTok challenge in January.
Very first TikTok challenge.
And then he just kind of disappeared.
We never heard from him again.
We never heard from him.
And at one point we reached out, like,
hey, you should come do an intensive with us.
And he's like, yeah, I'll think about it.
And he kept growing.
And then next thing, we connected him back in
and he had like 37,000 when he joined back in the intensive.
And he's like, yeah, you told us in January
just to keep posting as much as you can.
And he just posted like sometimes one
or sometimes twice a day, he just kept posting
and just grew his TikTok, like blew up,
you know, to whatever, 37,000.
So he's now, you know, starting,
he's not even doing Instagram or YouTube or Facebook.
So he's starting to grow that and it's been amazing.
So super cool for Stephen to see again.
Congratulations, Stephen.
So now we can't not have some honorable mentions
because some of you guys are so close.
You're gonna be getting it in the next couple of weeks.
Yeah.
So you guys are like,
like if we waited another week or two,
you'd probably be there.
It's coming.
We've got Marian Jetson at 92.49.
We've got Amy Ryburn at 92.38 and Karina Reed at 91.37.
So, so give them a round of applause.
It's amazing.
Good.
Well done guys.
All right.
So very, very cool.
So we'll be sending that out to you guys.
Look for emails and stuff from us.
We'll, we'll have that out to you guys.
Um, we wanted to just share as well, just kind of recap some of the vision as well
of where we're going next for kingdom messengers, as you guys know, like we
really started just doing posture and then kind of, we just said kind
of one thing after the other.
Um, let's teach others, you know, had some success there.
We'd still, let's just teach.
Let's have a whole community of people.
Cause we didn't have a community when we started.
Right.
Like we was just me and Lindsay, we're just figuring stuff out.
Um, and, uh, this would have been amazing to be able to share and to figure out.
I mean, we, we kind of feel like we went a little bit of the long way around
doing all the long form content first daily and we built all the creative reps.
So that was, it was, it wasn't a waste of time, but, um, we feel like there
are faster ways to get you guys, um, to scale your audience, which we're
finding with short form and other things to kind of layer in more and
more, um, content is a better strategy.
And so we just feel like, um, it's been so exciting to be able to help
people get there a lot faster than it took even for you to grow that.
And I think we were like, even reminiscing the last couple of days,
like there's people in our group that now have more people in their
individual channel than we had as a collective when we started in February
2021, which is just amazing.
That's true.
Yeah, that's awesome.
And, um, so that's our, that's been our goal.
Like we, we just said this kind of big kind of hairy, audacious goal that we
had of reaching a million people a week.
And so we're, um, 37% of the way there, which is super exciting.
And we, we don't feel like we want to slow down.
Right.
And we're going to feel like we're, we're picking up momentum growing.
And we really, um, you know, we've kind of identified that there's going to be
different people at different stages.
There's people who are thinking about doing this, right.
Uh, and they're, they have an idea.
They have a word from the Lord.
They have something in their heart and they just want to launch.
Right.
So we feel like for those people, we're going to be doing a lot of
challenges next year, do a challenge, have them come in for an eight week
intensive and help them get that first thousand, um, as, as much as possible,
get them past that first thousand.
The first thousand, honestly, is the hardest, right?
Um,
I think you learn a lot in that.
And you do, and you build all those muscles.
So now it's just a matter of time, just adding time to that versus
like a ton of heavy lifting.
Yeah, exactly.
And so that's kind of category to people who want to like launch.
Yeah.
So that's what we'll be doing our challenges for and then leading
them into an eight week intensive.
Right.
And then we've got people who kind of like you guys have
come through the intensive.
You've got kind of the basics down and now we're just looking for strategy
and really just helping with community.
And that's where, um, that's where we're fitting this new
thing called kingdom advancement.
If you guys got your email, like check that out, we, we announced
that last week earlier this week.
Um, and that's going to be really just to help people scale
that much, much further.
And
that is the coaching and community.
Cause we sat down and we said, you know, what is it that sets us apart
from whatever else people can be doing?
And part of that is first of all, the, the community and coaching
aspects paired together are amazing.
Can you get that other places you can, but most of those places are more
open-ended and they don't have that intentional, like kingdom focus
being on kingdom mission together.
And so that's why, cause we, we just asked ourselves, Lord, like.
Is what we're building, like what, like show us what it is that we're building
and why we're, why we're continuing to build it because as you guys know,
there's all, there's all things you can compare yourself to.
There's all other things.
So we wanted to get really clear on that.
And so advancement is what kind of has that paired together with the
goal of longevity, helping people maintain and sustain what they've
built in the, in the previous seasons.
And then, um, kind of the last category that we've added recently, and we've
not really announced this a lot, but we do have some people that were just
serving in kind of a one-on-one aspect.
And so we are, this was very early stages, but we have a small team of
people that are actually going in and posting and editing clips and doing
all kind of the admin behind it.
So that those, those kingdom messengers can just focus on just creating
content and all the posting and the editing and all the tech keywords and
all that stuff can kind of get done behind the scenes.
So those are kind of the three groups that we see serving and we're going to
kind of make it much more distinct next year.
So I just wanted to give you guys a teaser of like, of how, you know, if
you start hearing us share some of this stuff in the future, that's
kind of how it all gets together.
That's how we're clarifying it in our own heads and hearts, as far as how we
can serve people in a way that is very specific to where they are on the journey.
And, and if you're interested in like hearing about any of those specifically
advancement or the one-on-one services, you guys can book a discovery call in
that email and just, just to hear about it, we would encourage all of you to
go ahead and book the discovery.
every call. It's not a waste of our time. We want to make sure that everyone feels set up for the next season ahead, no matter what it is that you choose. So that's just more of like hearing where you're at. And if there's a place for you in advancement, or if you're
wanting to even go a little bit further than that into one on one. So take advantage of that call. And that's what that's for. It's to kind of help you like finalize this journey that we've all been on and move into the next season of Kingdom
messengers in a way that makes sense for you. One question we've been getting is like, what happens if I do nothing? That's a great question. So you guys always will have access to that larger Facebook Messenger community where we host our
challenges. That's like the 1500 member plus. So you'll always be able to join them to any challenges you want, stay connected to us in the community that way. You all are keeping your dashboards. So that will continue. And we'll be watching those to like send
out awards and help you guys with those, those testimony markers. And then you also get the lifetime access to the kingdom messenger library. So you'll have all the recordings of what we've done in the last eight weeks, and in the last almost two years
together. And so all of you'll be able to reference that go back and review, you haven't lost any of that. And you won't lose any of that you always have access to your kingdom messenger premium account. So so that so no one is left hanging,
right, you're still able to stay connected at a certain level. And you're able to keep all of those teachings and masterclasses that we've been on on together. And because you guys came through intensive, like any of those challenges, well, you guys kind of get front row seats. So we have like a sort of a VIP, although we don't call it VIP. So you get I don't like that. He doesn't like the term VIP. Everybody's important. So but so when we do a challenge, you guys will be on the zoom calls, whatever the, you know, best thing we have, you guys will be part of that. And so we'll probably do in a greater community or three of those challenges.
I think a year, we're trying to do less challenges, but make them a little bit bigger, have more people engaged in them. So do you want to share just a recap of advancement in the multi then you can get
Yeah, really quick. And I would encourage you guys go look in your emails, take some time to prayerfully consider everything. But what advancement looks like is just a quick overview is we're focusing kind of ending this year of the breakthrough year that we've all been leaning into, and positioning ourselves to start the new year strong. And so a foundation to this was the coaching and community piece, like, we've refined that a bit based on even the last eight weeks we've spent together and making sure that you guys can get as
much access as possible. And as much access as we feel like we can honorably give in a way that helps you the best. So we'll continue the group call once a week on Tuesday, this is within the advancement program. What we have moved, which I'm pretty excited about, is excited
than anyone. Bruce is more excited than anyone is instead of doing a weekly tech support call where you have to wait for that once a week call, we've opened up what we're calling the tech support helpline. And that gives you the ability at any point to book a zoom call. We've hired a wonderful who's here, Carolina, she's new to our team. She is our resident tech expert. And so between her and Bruce and anyone else, we add to that our tech support team over the next four months, they're going to be
available for you guys to book a call, like, anytime you guys need your guys are stuck, you can book that call, they can get on, you can share your screen. And it's one on one. So you guys have some time to go through what it is where you're stuck. And we just feel like that is going to be awesome for people.
I think because the tech support sometimes is general tech support things. But sometimes it's like, it's very specific, or there's something happening because you're on Android, or there's a glitch with Instagram. And so we just don't want people to feel like they have to even wait a week for that. And so or feel like so we're excited about that. So we've got the tech support helpline that will be a part of that. And then we want one. Yeah. And then further than that, we feel like when we have offered one on one, we've offered one on one, we've offered one on one, we've
been in a couple different times when you know, there's bonuses and things like that. And there has been such breakthrough and there's one on one calls. So I'm going to be doing some one on one calls with each member of the advancement in the advancement program. Over the four months, that's something that you guys can book at your convenience when you feel like, okay, like, I want to go ahead and like, jump on a one on one call. And we will dive super deep. Part of what happens on those calls is more often than not, it's not just the external territory that we focus on, because there's usually something
internal tied to external stuckness. And so that's what's been happening on some of these one on one calls that I've done in the past is we kind of hit we we pin, we kind of go into both of those things. And I think that's why there's like such accelerated breakthrough that happened on those calls. And it's private, you know, you're not you feel like you're not rushed. And it gives you a chance to even process some things that you might not be aware of that might be keeping you stuck. And so we're making
It was available as well.
Awesome.
And so just to kind of recap that in a graphic, since if you're
going to visualize everything.
There's the weekly group coaching.
We have these, um, two 60 minutes to a one hour calls, 60 minute calls.
So, um, we used to do 30 minutes, but Lindsay has a hard time keeping it.
Like we have so much you want to talk to you guys about, I really can't
accomplish anything in under 60 minutes.
I feel like the 60 minute just allows some breathing room, especially when it
comes to that internal territory piece.
It just can't be disconnected from that external stuckness sometimes.
And so I wanted to give it some breathing room.
So that's what we're doing.
So that, but that's great.
I think I just wanted to highlight that sometimes in the past, we've done 30
minutes and we just wanted to extend that to you guys and then the unlimited tech
support.
So this is either going to be the best thing or may regret super excited for
like, Hey, I don't, I think we'll be able to solve more problems than, um, you
know, just by doing unlimited.
So there's no limit to how many of those short, quick 20 minute zoom
calls we can jump on.
Um, and the cool thing about this is we're going to be recording some of the
answers to those questions so that other people who are coming in behind you,
maybe we can link to recordings of those questions.
So if some of the questions are coming in, um, more often around the same topic,
we can basically point people to some of those resources.
So it's going to build a library of like tech support.
Is that, is that, that's kind of our idea.
And then there's, um, you guys are still going to do the monthly, uh, prayer call.
Yeah.
That's something that I just feel like, again, it's that internal territory piece.
I don't want it to go away.
It can't be disconnected.
I don't ever want us to feel like we're pressing pause and
what the Lord is building in us.
And so we'll be doing a monthly prophetic prayer call.
It'll be a bit extended.
So instead of like our 30 minute, it'll be a full hour once a month.
And that's where we're going to take time to dive into what the
Lord is building in us internally.
We're going to govern the prophetic words that he's spoken into our
community and over our lives, because it's one thing to just have the seat of
the word zone, but it needs to be cultivated.
And so I don't want to leave that seat on the ground and there's so much prophetic
flow that's happening within this community.
So I felt this beautiful, holy conviction to make more space and time for that to
be happening within our advancement program.
Just a quick overview.
We have like everything, everything mapped out here for the next four months.
And so it's going to be Monday night, first Monday night of the month.
We're going to do prayer calls.
And then every Tuesday, 3.
Same time you guys love unlimited tech support stuff happening between that.
And then we'll be meeting with you guys one-on-one kind of between these
calls.
And so obviously we've got Thanksgiving here in the U.S.
So that week we will take off.
We're going to do a full actual vacation week for everybody here.
That's not just to force us into rest, but to force you guys to rest.
Yeah, just to take a minute.
And then December, obviously we'll take kind of that week of Christmas
off and then going into the new year.
So end of January, we'll be doing our next challenge.
So we'll kind of finish this and go right into the next challenge and go from there.
So that's kind of the whole thing.
So check your emails for that.
You guys are welcome to, if you have any questions, just book a call.
Even if you guys are just thinking about it, if you're wondering how to make it work
or whatever, just book a call with me.
20 minutes, we can hop on and just chat, answer any questions and just make sure
that, you know, get everything answered.
So absolutely awesome.
We're coming up on time.
I know we wanted to just end with kind of a commission as well.
Yeah, I, you know, I was sitting with the Lord and I was like, I mean, how do you end?
Like, how do you, how do you, how do you place a bow and a seal on the beauty that's
happened?
And even from some of us the last two years, and I was like, Lord, you gotta, you have
like, what do you want them to know?
What do I want them to know?
You know, I was like, this is co-mingling again.
We're having this conversation.
And so this is what I want you guys to know.
There is no separation.
There's no separation.
And like I mentioned, the beginning of this call, I think so many kingdom people, so many
sons of God right now are living under such intense stress, stress and pressure when it
comes to calling, when it comes to purpose, when it comes to ministry, and it is not
meant to be that way.
And I think because there's this, there's this temptation to believe that perhaps
something I do or don't do will cause separation and there's no separation.
So as you move forward from this journey, however, whatever you choose, like there's
no wrong choice because you've already chosen Christ and Christ did not come to give
you a ministry.
He came to give you himself.
You have him, you have everything you need for life and godliness.
So I want you to walk away fully knowing, fully embracing the truth that there is no
separation.
And as you become, as you become.
ministers of the gospel in greater and greater measures by, you know, earthly
standards, right.
Cause that will happen.
You all have been called to extremely profound impact and the people that you
are living, you know, in your one-on-one circles and the people in your screens,
like that, I see it, it's happening, but please, please, please do not take on
any lesser form of identity than union with Christ.
That is what, that is your protection.
He is your peace.
He is your joy.
He is your provision, not just the provider here.
I'm giving you something, I'm giving you a ministry, but he is the provision.
And so don't, don't ever think, oh, now that God has given me this, I must create
all this internal pressure in myself to steward this well, that is a pure heart
that the enemy is wanting to pervert so that you guys, that you come under a
lesser identity, Christ has given you everything you need.
You have the spirit, you have his spirit living in you to lead you and guide you
in all truth, rest in that and enjoy the journey and live fully delighted because
the father is delighted in doing this.
He's not dreading it.
He's not there nitpicking.
All the things you are doing are not doing well.
I feel like in this time together, we've broken off perfection.
We've broken off performance.
We've broken off, um, accusation and lies that would tell us
that we're less than who we are.
It is all about who he is and who we are becoming in him.
And we're becoming like him.
And it's not that it's not that we're striving for that.
It's that we're becoming more and more aware.
And that is a journey that Holy spirit has you on in your, and it's, and it's,
it's personal, it's personal.
So as much as I, you know, even in our church expressions, we honor that we
honor what's happened corporately within our small groups, within our communities
and our coaching communities like this.
Absolutely.
There's no diminishing that, but it never.
Diminishes what is happening personally.
And so please, please, please do not take on any unnecessary pressure and stress.
The temptation will be there, right?
But it's not who you are.
There's no separation.
And we're so excited to continue to cheer you guys on as you continue to grow, as
you, as you continue to become, there's going to be greater awareness and that
becoming more than a conqueror in every area of your life, we know we get to eat
the fruit of because we're in the same body.
So we're excited.
We're excited for you.
We're excited for us because what your victory is our victory and
our victory is your victory.
And we love you guys so much.
You guys have been such a breath of fresh air.
You've been such a gift the way you've honored us.
It has completely blown us away.
The healing that's even taken place in our hearts through what the Lord has
ministered to us through you guys is so profound and maybe one day I'll write a
book about it, but right now I feel like there's just no words, but we love you
guys so much.
Thank you so much, guys.
We will see you guys in the next challenge.
We're seeing advancement, whatever, uh, capacity, but we just, we're praying for
you guys.
We want to spur you guys on and we can't wait to see you guys succeed.
So, and keep checking your, your mail.
Cause the trophies, those markers are coming, they're coming.
We love it.
I love you guys guys.
We'll see you have a great weekend.
Bye.
