Hey guys, how are you doing?
We're going to get everybody on here in a second.
Welcome, welcome.
How are you doing?
Good to see everyone.
Yeah.
Some new faces popping on.
That's awesome.
Let me get to where we can see everybody.
Awesome.
Because we're all so quiet.
Okay, let's start.
Okay.
You guys are in challenge mode.
You've been muted the whole time.
I know we don't have.
Tamara. She's still, you know,
He's got jury duty. We know how that goes.
So I will say let's start off with some wins.
Who's got a testimony. He's got a wind to share from this week.
You can go ahead and unmute yourself. I see a Susie's unmuted.
That's just because that was an accident anyway.
You're talking now. So.
Okay.
So I've done a couple of tech talks that were just speaking.
And Marianne encouraged me.
The full 30 minutes, 30 seconds of content.
And I feel really good about it and really excited about it.
So awesome. I love it.
I'm excited. I'll have to go follow you.
I saw Bobby posted her first video as well.
Very cool.
And I'm curious,
do you have any plans to post your videos to the group?
Anywhere just to that group?
I need to hear.
No, I really haven't posted. I.
I have a couple more in my head anyway,
so I'm going to get those done.
But I have to go through and like,
kind of go back and try to remember. Cause that's where I.
The technology,
I forget if that's going to be Tuesday or Thursday night,
but it's going to be Tuesday and Thursday night.
So we're going to be laying the foundation for all the things that we
can expect in the next eight weeks. Yeah.
Tuesdays,
we're going to focus on a lot of mindset content strategy stuff.
And then Thursdays are dedicated.
The tech is kind of the idea so that we can have breathing room on
both of those calls.
And just be really focused and intentional.
Honestly,
I just hate following Lindsay because she always drops like this,
like amazing revelation. And then I'm like,
I'm going to be tripping and tripping and tripping and tripping,
but I'm like, I'm going to be tripping and tripping.
And then I'm like, I'm going to be tripping.
And then we'll get into some of the tech support.
They're really hands-on too, guys. So like,
even on the content strategy stuff, you can.
Be dropping links, say like, can you watch this? You know,
Here's where I'm stuck on my script,
kind of what we did with the origin stories even.
And I can be doing that as well in the Facebook group.
So if you're like wanting me to look at something specific or,
Hey, what do you think about these hooks or the series idea?
Don't hesitate to ask those questions, put your content out there.
I'm happy to work with you on any of those things.
And this is a bit of a,
this is going to be kind of a bit of a transition call because really
next week is where we'll start our cadence for the two calls a week and
diving into everything.
But we wanted to lay a foundation on the first half of this call of what
to expect in the next eight weeks. And then the second half of the call,
we're going to do open coaching because we know,
especially the members that you guys are still rolling.
So we didn't want to you.
We don't want you guys to stay stuck for a week.
If you had stuff that you're working on that you're like, Hey,
I just need some open coaching. I need some answers to the question.
So that's how we're breaking up the call.
And every call we do we're going to leave 20,
30 minutes at the end just to do questions. Absolutely.
So we'll be changing up the format.
So we've got a lot of different people on here.
We have people who have been with us for months and they're been hanging
out and you guys kind of know the drill.
So we're going to be sharing some new things for you guys.
Cause we're gonna kind of change up a little bit of the,
our routine of how we're doing things.
And then we've got some people who this is your first time that have been
on here. And we have some people that are,
we're talking to you this week about joining.
And we're thinking that by you just being on this call, you're gonna be like,
Oh my gosh, these are my new best friends. I have to stick with them.
So we're just,
a few people are just kind of looking in here and I was letting you guys
know, we're going to be sharing this call.
To the kingdom messenger community. We'll delete it probably tomorrow,
but just in case there's people want to see Lindsay's going to share some,
some good stuff as well today.
Just about some mindset things and it's kind of what to expect for the
next eight weeks. So.
I think we'll do some introductions, a few things,
but if you want to kick us off in prayer.
Absolutely. So father, we thank you for these next eight weeks.
We are entering in with great anticipation.
Because we get to partner with you and advancing your kingdom in a very
unique way. So thank you father for partnering with us, Jesus.
Thank you for empowering us. Holy spirit.
Thank you for leading us and guiding us. And.
We are wholeheartedly embracing the adventure. Amen.
Awesome. So as we enter into, yes, Amy, 3pm eastern time, same time, that's a good question,
Tuesdays and Thursdays, 3pm. So you can always expect that we're going to be doing something
Tuesdays, Thursdays, 3pm eastern time. And whatever link you guys have, keep those
Tuesday and Thursday links the same. So you can just bookmark that if you want to put it in your
calendar. And just so you know, for the kind of the cadence of it, we are, this is kind of a
warm up week. This is going to be our first week, our official first of the eight weeks is going to
be next Tuesday, we're going to kick it off, we're going to do a Tuesday call and a Thursday call
this week. Just to get started, because I know there's a lot of momentum that came from the
challenge and all of what we did in July. And so we just wanted to keep that momentum flowing
through. But we will kind of so it's kind of like a nine week intensive. It's like, yeah,
you get an extra because we want to get us warmed up, get our cadence going. We know this is going
to be really a transition week. So we wanted to give some space for that. So none of the calls
are mandatory this week. But we're going to go ahead and just give you our time. So you keep
rolling, because we know that a lot of people are ready to go very eager. So as I was talking to
Lord about these eight weeks, like, there's been a lot of things stirring with me and him when it
comes to partnership. And you guys have heard me talk about this time and time again, but it is
worth repeating that the worthiness because I want you guys to keep this at the forefront,
because there's going to be a lot of activity, there's gonna be a lot of doing in these eight
weeks. And there's going to be a lot of focus on numbers. The worthiness of what we do is not found
in the numbers. It is found in our partnership with the Lord. The next eight weeks, you are
about to become someone and that someone is more yourself than ever before. Because in the being
and in the doing with the Lord, we are becoming, we're becoming, we're becoming more ourselves than
ever before. We're becoming more aware of who he is. And we're becoming more aware of who we are
in him. And this is how we are transformed. Let me just read, you know, you guys have heard me read
this before, if you've been with us, but second Corinthians 318, it says, but we all with unveiled
faces, thank you, Jesus, our faces have been unveiled, beholding as in a mirror,
the glory of the Lord are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory,
just as by the spirit of the Lord. This is about transformation. This is about becoming. So there's
going to be a lot of doing and doing is important. It's not the most important thing, our being with
him and our being made like him is presidents, has presidents, but there's also doing with the
Lord. And in both of those things, I love what Graham Cook says. He says, being and doing are
two wings on the same dove. And with both of those things, we're becoming. So I, I was talking about,
I was talking to the Lord about this because, you know, if you've been with us for a while,
that we jumped into 2021, starting this movement, which we didn't know it was a movement yet of
kingdom messengers. And it was in our hearts to reach a million people together collectively.
And we were like, we're going to do this in 2021 together. We're going to reach a million people.
Well, as you know, we're at like almost 300,000, which is amazing. It's not a million, but it's
a 300,000, which is awesome. And we are continuing to grow that. But I was asking the Lord, like,
why not last year? Like, why, why didn't we reach a million? And here's what I think.
I'm not sure that my heart was ready to carry that leadership role quite yet that I would be
leading a tribe of people who are reaching a million people. I'm not quite sure my heart
was ready to carry that. And that is not a place for shame. That's a place for anticipation.
And so some of you might be asking the same questions because you've been carrying desires
in your heart. We talked about desires a little bit in the challenge, like for years, I've wanted
to reach stadium sized audiences or I wanted to do, I've run into write this book where I wanted
to do this or I wanted to do that. Like, why not yet Lord? And it is the father's delight to father
us. That's what's happening in our relationship with him. We are being fathered. And so he's not
ashamed of that process or the pace of that process. So we shouldn't be either. Jesus took
all the shame away. There's that, that feeling like there's something, not just that I'm not
that I'm doing something wrong, that I am wrong. Like there's something about me that this isn't
working because I am wrong. That's shame. And there's no place for that in our hearts.
But often I think we've used
just metrics of we've wanted this goal.
We've wanted this dream.
We've wanted this desire and Lord,
I felt like it was from you,
but it's just seems like it's fallen short
or it hasn't quite, it hasn't taken place in the timeframe
that I wanted it to take place in like what's going on.
And perhaps our hearts aren't quite ready to carry it,
but that should not birth shame in us.
That should birth anticipation
because we are well on our way towards it.
Like Bruce and I are well on our way.
You are well on our way to together
reaching a million people.
That hasn't been stopped.
That isn't a wrong, oh, we must've been wrong.
It must've not been of God, right?
How many things have we let go of
because they didn't happen in a certain timeframe
that we wanted or it didn't look like it was
like what we wanted it to look like.
I thought I was going to be speaking to major conferences.
Instead, I'm leading on the digital landscape.
How wonderful.
But I could have spent years.
I think I did spend some of the portion of those years
thinking, well, if I just would do this,
if I wouldn't be so lazy,
if I would just really commit myself,
if I would just, then I could write the book.
Then I could get the speaker invitations.
But the whole time, the Lord was fathering me
into the place that he had prepared for me, which is here.
And the same thing is happening with all of you.
So don't give way to shame.
Give way to anticipation over these next eight weeks.
We are putting our coaches hats on.
You will be coached.
I think that's healthy.
Know that we're going to be paying attention to the numbers.
We're going to be paying attention
to what's going on in your channels.
That's our commitment to you.
But don't ever lose sight of the worthiness
and the beautiness of what's about to happen
in these eight weeks
is within the partnership with you and the Lord.
We're going to do our best to help lead you in that
as best we can, lead you to that.
Like we might, there might be times where like,
you just need to go talk to the Lord about that, okay?
But we're with you in this.
We want to lock arms with you.
We believe in you.
We're excited.
We are carrying anticipation and we want you to as well.
You are about to become someone
and that someone is more yourself, who you are,
who you really, really are than ever before.
I've had a crafted prayer stirring in my heart
over the last couple of months,
especially when we're walking into July,
really over the summer,
but it got, it just pinged so brightly in July.
And the crafted prayer is this,
Lord, make what is real, realized.
Amen.
That's it.
Lord, make what is real, realized.
Because we are a part of a kingdom.
We are a part of a realm.
We belong to the creator of the universe.
That is the most real thing about us.
And I never want the reality of this secondary realm
to ever overshadow what is actually real.
So Lord, make what is real, realized.
So in addition to, it's not mandatory.
I just want you to know that.
But in addition to what's going to be happening
on Tuesdays and Thursdays,
I am going to be hosting an open prayer call
on Monday nights at 8 p.m.
It is not mandatory.
If it's just me, I'm going to Zoom it live.
30 minutes, about 30 minutes.
And what it is, is we're going to be specifically focusing
on this area of becoming.
That's what the prayer and focus is going to be.
And that crafted prayer, make what is real, realized.
I just, I told the Lord, I really want to dedicate it.
I wanted to dedicate some space in my prayer life,
as haphazard as my prayer life seems right now.
And like, it's not, it's, you know,
I'm praying continually throughout my day.
So Lord, I really want to make some space
to pray specifically for this community,
specifically for the members of this intensive,
because I share his heartbeat and kind of his jealousy
for that identity piece.
Because again, I've said, it's all back to identity.
And so I just felt, I felt like a freedom
to just open that up and do it with the group.
So if you can join, great.
If not, we will still be praying for you guys.
But that's happening every Monday night
during these eight weeks,
because I really want to just-
Cover it in prayer.
I do, I want to cover in prayer.
There's something, I don't feel like I can articulate it
as best as I want to,
but there's this weightiness of the next eight weeks
that is just, it's glorious.
And it's just, it's fun.
It struck me once again,
that the Father and Jesus and Holy Spirit
are so delighted in what's about to take place.
Because like, this is the dream come true,
that we would become sons, that we would,
would become more like them. We'd be made in their image and likeness. Like this wasn't my plan. This
wasn't my prayer. This wasn't your plan or prayer. They initiated this. Genesis 1 26. This was their
primary purpose. Let us make man in our image and likeness. So like we can rest in what they've
initiated and lean into that fully. And we can recognize and rejoice in the fact that they are
super excited about this. Anytime there's becoming, they're excited and we're all becoming.
That's what we're, that's the journey we're on. So that's kind of the, that's why I just wanted
to lay the foundation of expectation. Practically speaking, Tuesday, Thursdays coaching. Monday
night we're going to do a prayer call. Just open. No pressure to be on that. I know we lead very
busy lives, but just know I will be praying for you and you guys are welcome to join anytime.
So that's what you kind of can expect from a weekly cadence in these next eight weeks.
And then with that being said, I want to talk about, okay, now we're going to set some goals.
So we have talked to our members about this already. So you probably have been thinking
about this, but for those that are just joining, we want you to set a specific goal. We would love
for you to talk to the Lord about this too. Like get a number in your heart that feels audacious.
Like don't play it safe. Talk to Lord about this. Like, what do we have? What do you, what,
what kind of gold is, do you want that to be? We're not going to talk about.
Smart goals or like, I don't feel like your goals should be. Yeah. Or how to, how to lay
out goals. Like just a goal, just to, just to target, like it can be simple. We're not going
to make it overly complicated, but we're going to have, that's what we want you to be focusing
on this week because we're going to kick off with that next week and have people share.
That's great. But I want with that in mind, I want you to be thinking about a goal for your
channel, a goal for your presence on, in the online space. What could that look like? What
could that be? And start to have that in mind because it is good to have a target.
Yeah. Like we have the target still, we're going to reach a million people.
That's still the target. It didn't happen last year. Like we wanted it, but it's, we're heading
in that direction. And that is like, I'm wanting you to capture the importance of that.
I want to say as well, one thing we've said is what we know when we want to have a good year,
it's hard to imagine like, Oh, what is a million? I can't go from like zero. Okay.
It's, you know, it's Monday. Like, how do I get to a million people? Okay. Well, that's, that's
a huge goal. And so I think what we always said is like, good years are made up of good months
and good months made up of good weeks and good weeks made up of good days. Right. So if you can
kind of break it down to smaller pieces and say, Hey, here's an eight week chunk of time that we're
going to be, we're all dedicating this to. So if you're, whether you're in the intensive or if
you're in roadmap, wherever you're, you know, journey joining us from, we encourage you to take
that, you know, make a goal, you know, either way to, to dedicate these next eight weeks to really
emphasize to, to focus in on your chat channel. And that could be something that you're looking
for for this month. It could be a number of people you want to have on your audience. Our goal in the
intensive is to get you as close to 10,000 or more, or at least get you on the way to where if
you just keep repeating what you're doing for, you know, you'll get to 10,000. That's kind of
our goal. We feel like 10,000 is significant because it's just so much bigger than what most
people think they're like, Oh, if I get a couple hundred people or maybe a thousand followers,
like it just, that seems so big to people. So we wanted to just 10 X that so that it's a lot
bigger. Um, so you guys, it's a stretch goal. So if you're wondering, if you don't have an idea
of what to be gold, make it 10,000, but we trust that you're listening to the Holy spirit. So here,
like, what, what are you partnering on? Some of you have a course that you've put together a long
time ago, or you want to do a coaching session. So maybe your, your goal, one of your goals for
this eight weeks could be to, uh, sell a course to, to get a coaching client. It could be,
it could be something different. It could be sell a book, like whatever the thing is that you have,
uh, we're going to be talking about, you know, growing your audience and traffic,
but all these things are related. So you have different goals in your own ministry.
So we just want to take, give some time. You can take this time this week to,
I think what we want to do is break any mindset that would say it's wrong to,
it's wrong to make a goal. Like, Lord, just let it be what it will be.
That doesn't require partnership. It doesn't. And I think too many people use that as a defense
mechanism. It's not actually trust and rest in the Lord. It's just not wanting to take
responsibility for growth. I know that there are seasons of rest and absolutely I'm not
diminishing that. I just don't want us to fall back into bad patterns and habits of,
this is just going to be like the other things I've tried that didn't work. So there has to be.
some measurement, there has to be a target
so that we can move forward towards that target.
So just saying, well, Lord, let it be
whatever you want it to be,
doesn't require you having an active participation in this.
And you'll miss out on the beauty
of partnering with the Lord in something.
Like, that's why I kind of wanted to talk
about the shame thing up front,
because I feel like the reason people go there
is because there's been too much shame in the past
when things haven't gone the way that they want it.
So it's like, well, I'm just not gonna set goals anymore.
That must not have been the Lord's will.
I'm just gonna like, let it go,
give it up to his sovereignty and what will be will be.
And I don't think that that is going to serve you well,
because it's not going to press you
into the beauty of that partnership with the Lord.
And it will, I think it's gonna give way to passivity.
So we don't wanna give way to passivity.
Activity is not bad.
It's definitely not where the worthiness is found,
but I think it gets a bad rap
because the world has kind of made it the gold standard
and it's not in the kingdom.
But activity leads to activation.
And we want that, right?
We wanna be activated in something.
So get active.
And a way that you can start doing that is set a target,
set a goal, and then we'll help you move forward
towards that target.
Right, so one thing we wanna share for,
we wanna encourage you guys,
because it is eight weeks.
It's not, we're not gonna spend months and months
or 12 months together.
So go all in, like it's,
so we're gonna ask you guys to, if you can,
we don't really have, I haven't really gone live as often,
like with people going live in Facebook
and just giving updates,
but we'd encourage you guys at least once a week,
we're gonna try to give you some homework
or something that when you're finished with it,
you could go live in the Facebook group.
In our members group.
In the members group and just share,
hey, you know, this is what my goal is for the week.
For example, so that would be like,
that would be our homework for this week.
Think about it, pray about it.
When you feel like you've got it,
go live in the Facebook group.
Because what that happens is it doesn't have to be
30 minutes, just two minutes, five minutes, whatever,
just share what you're thinking.
But it lets us connect throughout the week
where we can all have a conversation.
We can encourage one another.
That's a great goal.
It also creates accountability
because we're putting it out.
You know, it does take an extra little bit of step to,
you know, go live.
It invites the community in.
And it gets you guys practice talking
to a camera and being live.
And there's a hundred other things that it helps with.
So we encourage you guys to do that.
And we'd also love to,
since there's quite a few new people as well,
when you're doing that,
if you guys could also go live and introduce yourself,
just like, where are you joining from?
Where, what is the, who do you think your who is?
What is your kingdom message?
And then just share your goal.
So that would be going,
if you've been in the members
or you've been with us for a while
and we all kind of know you,
please do it anyway,
because there's a lot of new people.
Some of you had said,
hey, I've had more clarity.
So I think that's good for even Bruce and I to hear it.
Like, I've had more clarity on my who
or things have shifted,
but also, and this doesn't have to be 10 minutes,
two minutes it can be,
but just kind of share those things
because we're starting fresh
and we're kind of treating these eight weeks
like a bookend, beginning and end.
So we're in this together.
We want to see who's partnering in this from the,
Denise is here.
Hey, Denise.
So awesome.
Cool.
We have a couple of things we're going to get through
and then we're going to go into that.
So, and guys, I know we,
if you are in Roadmap,
like I said,
I've got a couple of people here who are in Roadmap.
Obviously we, you know, you're welcome.
We sent you guys a separate email
if you're interested in moving from Roadmap
to the Intensive.
So just check your email for that
or check in the Facebook group.
So we're going to go through a couple admin things
for the Intensive
and then we're going to get into some open coaching.
So we'll hopefully spend the last 25 minutes or so
just taking questions.
So if you've got those,
we will put your Zoom hand up
and we'll come to you and do those questions.
So I actually wanted to share my screen.
So let me just get to the right place here.
So we have a Kingdom Messenger members Facebook group
which all of you should be added to already.
What you'll do is we actually have a new group
inside of Kingdom Messenger TV.
So we have our challenge group that you're all a part of
and then we have the Intensive.
So we're still bringing people in here.
We have not automatically added all of our members,
people who were with us before this, to this group.
You guys are in it and you're, you know, you're in it
but we do want you guys to just let us know
that you're actually wanting to participate.
Yeah, it's included with what, with us.
So there's, but you just wanted to let you know that.
So we'll be sending out an email with a link to this.
You can click on it and you can come right in here.
There's a little getting started option here.
And so you can go in.
I said, there's a members Facebook group.
So there.
there's the link to go get into that.
There's some homework as far as like submitting
your channel links,
cause we want to get your dashboard set up.
And then there's the eight week intensive welcome,
which is what we're doing right now.
And then if you clicked into the intensive,
you can actually see every single one of our eight weeks
is listed out here with content and tech support.
I'll probably make a new section here
for the prayer meetings.
I don't think we, I mean, it's happening every Monday.
That's fine, yeah.
So you guys know it's there.
I just want to show you where everything is
if you get behind a week or you want to come back
and watch something that you missed,
it's all going to be in here
and you'll be able to go through.
I encourage you to check things off as you do it.
So you can quickly see, you know, what you've done.
And one thing we're going to do that's new,
once we get all the people in this group,
we're going to take a look at all,
everyone who's in the group,
and we're going to pair you guys up with a buddy,
an intensive buddy.
So we've not done this before.
We've done it in other coaching programs.
I think it works pretty well.
It's just a way to make some connections
with different people.
We'll try to get time zones and stuff
that makes sense for people,
but just someone that you can check in on once a week
and just say, you know, hey, like, how's it going?
It's not, we're trying to keep things simple.
And I know we're throwing a lot at you guys,
but it's not something where it's another thing
for you to do.
It's just for like, it's like kind of a small group
within our small group,
just a little bit of extra accountability.
So you can partner with your buddy.
It just, it may, it just helps.
I feel like we've been in some coaching groups
where you think, oh, I don't want another thing.
It's not like you guys have to meet separately
or it doesn't have to be this big thing,
but just to check in, like, hey, how are things going?
If you're stuck, it's sometimes the person just being like,
hey, if you're stuck here,
you need to be asking Bruce and Lindsay,
like reminding each other,
like use the resources in the group
and just helping people along.
So-
And we're probably going to pair,
if you've been in the group before
and you're not in the group,
we're probably going to pair those people up
so that you're, there's some people
that have maybe done some of the coaching with us
versus people who are just joining the group
so you guys can help each other out.
Yeah, for sure.
Just quick check-ins and like,
it's for someone else to say,
hey, you really should ask that question.
You really should make that session or, you know, ask it.
Just sometimes you just need someone to be like,
have you asked that question?
It's not a dumb question.
So we-
Yeah, everybody likes it
when other people ask the question that they have.
I know, I know.
So it's just another thing to move you forward.
Awesome, awesome.
Okay, so we've done this, talking about that.
And so one thing we would just encourage you guys to do
as we're going to take a minute,
like we have a very specific calendar
that we use to track our entire lives.
And so this is what Challenge Week calendar,
Bruce, looks like.
We've got just every little slot filled here
with calls and things that are happening.
So, but we go in here and we make time.
So I'll actually block out specific times like this
is going to be called deep work time.
And so then you can actually block off different sections.
And we would encourage you guys
to block off these calls if you can.
And just, you know, it's 3 p.m.
You can put as a recurring meeting for the next while.
And then you can come into,
and then just set a time as well
to go write and record your content.
That's at least a 90 minute slot.
One of the biggest, yeah, at least a 90 minute slot.
And then you have like 20 minutes to try and like,
come up with some revelation
and then record it and post it on TikTok.
It's much better to batch your recordings.
We are going to encourage you guys
to post daily on TikTok if you can.
And if not, two or three times a week would be awesome still.
Just be consistent with it.
But we want to get you in the habit
of being a content creator.
So that every day you're just thinking of,
what can I be posting?
What can I be sharing?
And kind of building up that library.
We encourage you to batch some of your contents,
maybe put two or three ideas down
and then record three videos back to back
and just have them on your phone ready to post.
We're gonna keep the content format very simple.
So we're really gonna focus on short form content
pretty much the whole eight weeks.
There's a lot of training that everybody in this call
has access to on KMTV about longer format
and podcasts and live streaming
and all kinds of other formats.
But for the eight weeks,
we're really gonna go really deep
into TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts.
So this is great.
So it is called an intensive for a reason.
It's a little intense,
but I want you to think about it
like kind of just going back to school
for these eight weeks.
This is not necessarily how it's going to run
the rest of your year,
but there's some muscle that we wanna build
in these eight weeks.
And so that's why like,
if you can make it on the live calls,
like please do.
We know people have work schedules and some conflicts.
If you can't make it on the live calls,
schedule a time to watch replays.
You'll be surprised too.
Like even when people ask questions,
how much, I know Amy talked about this
during our call yesterday.
Like you just learn sometimes when people ask questions.
We show answers to that.
So commit to be able to watch the replay
if you can't make the live.
And then that deep work session,
it's just, there's something about 90,
at least 90 minutes where you're not,
it won't take over your life.
When we start to do things like 15 minutes here,
20 minutes here,
because that's the only time we think we can do,
it feels all consuming.
And that is not the goal.
Like there's, it's going to feel intense,
but not all consuming.
Like you still have to live your life in these eight weeks.
So that's why we really recommend,
like try to do a 90 minute,
maybe two hours if you can,
deep work session once a week.
And you'll, you will find,
I think you'll be able to fit a lot of your planning
and production,
publishing and posting or promoting even in those,
in that deep work session
so that you're not doing it a little bit here,
a little bit there.
And then all of a sudden you're like,
oh my gosh, this is like taking over my life.
Yeah, exactly.
And do what's manageable for you.
Like we, I know a lot of people feel like,
oh, I'm so far behind.
Like they get in in a few weeks and they're like,
I'm so far behind.
Don't worry.
Like everybody in this group,
some people have just started their TikTok account.
Some people have thousands of people in their audience.
So it's, there's a full range of people
of where they're at.
So don't feel like you're behind.
You're just, just again,
make up if that week didn't work out well,
just the next week can be a better week
and give yourself some grace.
Because this is building muscles
that maybe you haven't used before
as far as getting regularly,
posting content and creating videos
and definitely when you first get started,
it's going to be harder.
And you may have a goal where you're like,
hey, I think I can do two or three posts a week
for the first month.
And then on the second month,
I'm going to try to go to daily or something.
So build up those muscles,
give yourself some flexibility.
We just want to know that we are going to be very available
to you guys through this, through these eight weeks.
So if you guys have questions,
you can go to the Facebook group.
You can ask us questions, just tag Lindsay, tag me,
and we will keep a lookout on those
and make sure we get you guys answers.
The KMTV site is really to house the library
of like replays and stuff.
And your homework.
And your homework, it's just so much easier.
Like Facebook is kind of all over the place
trying to find what video there.
So we'll use the Facebook group still
for our active conversation
and we'll utilize the KMTV site
for like you being able to watch replays,
gather, get resources, things like that.
Awesome, okay.
One cool thing we are going to do,
and then we'll take some Q and A,
is we will have,
so we're going to build for the next eight weeks, right?
August all the way through September.
At the end of September or the beginning of October,
we're going to do some sort of a live event
where we're going to hop on.
It could be virtual and we're going to make,
we have some awards that we want to give people.
This is something when every time we build like a movement
or some sort of community,
it helps to have like something that helps measure,
like just keep track of milestones.
And so we have like a paper certificate
that we've got for once you've passed 1,000 people.
But for those people who are pressing 10,000,
we have some cool things we're putting together.
It's going to be, there's a super cool plaque.
I don't have the picture of it,
but it's really, really cool.
And it just says like you reached 10,000 people.
So it's something you can put on your desk,
you can put on your shelf, whatever.
Just something that's like a testimony of like,
hey, Lord, like you helped me get to this audience.
And so it's just something fun.
And we'll do that at probably 10, maybe 25,000, 50,000.
And we're going to attach some other things to that.
So when you get to 10,000,
it's going to unlock certain things, like not prizes,
but like certain things that you're going to need
for your Kingdom channel, we'll say.
That's so vague.
But anyway, just stay tuned.
Software sort of things.
Just stay tuned.
So it's going to be fun.
So we're going to make a big deal about it.
And so the end, we're going to kind of do
like a celebration night outside of, you know,
once all the eight weeks are done.
So we'll see, you know, just set your goals.
So we, but our vision,
the thing we felt from Lord was the 10,000.
We're going to get a hundred people
to get 10,000 or more and reach a million.
And so that's why we want to set that goal out there.
Very, very cool.
So that is it.
And we're going to take some Q&A.
If you guys have questions about your channel,
and Xavier had a great question
about where do we place introductions
in the KMTV or Facebook?
So let's treat Facebook at, for introductions,
for lives, for community and conversation
kind of happening between our coaching calls
and the KMTV site will just be kind of our hub
for resources, you know, videos, things like that.
Replays, all of that stuff.
So good question.
Okay.
Okay, Hillary, hello.
Hi, okay.
It seems like this is like my greatest space
for confessions.
I don't know why.
I mean, it's good.
Cause it's like,
I don't know. You, you just make it easy not to hide anymore.
You make it I like hearing that you make it easy to, uh, to see
clearly where I've been hiding.
And the Lord was talking to me recently, just cause I do heart
healing. So I go through a lot of heart healing. I mean, that's
why I'm in it because I need it so much. And so, um, just that
quantified information, even time, like I never know what
time it is, uh, things like this. I just, I hide there's
this. And he was just, he was, he's been talking to you about
how that was my way of protecting myself from an
overwhelming sense of failure. And so I don't even know, it
seems a ridiculous thing to say at my age, I don't even know how
to identify these numbers. And when I asked him, he said, it's
it's be ready. All that I send you, you'll gather a lot and not
a few. And I'm like, I still don't understand, you know? So I
know it's not, but I feel like I'm learning how to identify and
quantify time and numbers and understand that. So I just first
wanted to just say that, that this time, okay. Eight weeks,
I'm picturing eight weeks. I'm not going to hide. And I need
your help with that Lord. And what does that look like? So
just saying that to y'all, because even I had to tell
Michael, Michael, Michael, do you know, there's this
dashboard that like you post the links and he's like, yeah, I
know. I've, I've put our information.
It's time, Hillary. That's all you need to know. That's all you
need to know.
It's a great, like, we've talked to a few different
people. Members have been with us. This is a great time to
reconnect. Like this next two weeks is a perfect time to just
it's a, it's a fresh restart. So
absolutely. Yeah. So I don't know if this is appropriate.
Like, so I was sitting with the Lord and he gave me this
download for an event that I'm going to have. So it's kind of
like a challenge, but it's a, it's a gala. It's an evening and
and a day in a week from Friday. So I don't know if it's okay to
show you what I, I don't know what, what do you want me to do?
What would be helpful? Like, how could I, how could I let you in
on kind of what's going on in me? And you're muted.
All right, there was some other noise.
And so and that's all you have to do. And that'll be
cool. So next person. We'll try to keep like around five
minutes. So yeah, let's just take a couple minutes. If you
want to share your screen, you're welcome. And guys, this
is like how open coaching goes. We will do this on every call.
So especially for the tech call, it's pretty much all going to be
you know, open coaching. So what I would love to do is like, be
ready to share your screen, you know, pull up your video, pull
up your TikTok, pull up whatever you want us to look at YouTube
channel. And we'll try to like look at it together. And let me
just pull this up.
This is more on along the lines of like, well, I mean, I guess
it's comprehensive. It's it's definitely content. So here's
what I just I was sitting with him, my Jesus chair here, and
then I got up. And I just felt you're waiting is over the days
of your anguish are finished. God has heard the deep cries of
your heart. Your Redeemer has come into your wilderness just
for you. This is a personal invitation from the king. And
it's based on Song of Solomon, eight, five, who is this coming
up from the wilderness leaning on her beloved. So it's a whole,
you know, the honor of your presence is formally requested
by your beloved to become free. So the beginning of it is these
two days, which here is. So here's the announcement for those
two days that I that I posted. And then. And then, so this is
kind of a loose sketch. This is kind of a sketch of the two
days, and then kind of a discussion of, like, okay, what
what would that offer look like? So cool. So how can I how can I
get your help right now? How can I get the most?
Yes, if you got so this is a great live events. Great to get
people to show up. First of all, for anyone else who's thinking,
you know, if you have something that fits that, that who, the
only thing that like at the top, I didn't really know, within the
first few sentences, like who this is for. Oh, yeah. But
that's not, I know, you could tell me, but it'd be great to
see it in that copy, like, hey, like, is it for woman? Is it for
married woman? Is it for, you know, married woman with kids,
like it just, you don't want to niche down as far as you can,
and then share something.
at the top that's like, you know, like one of our friends,
you know, works with moms and entrepreneur moms.
So this top is like, hey mama, comma,
and then it like has something, right?
So it's like just a little something at the top that like,
oh, this is for moms or this is for whoever.
Or women, I could say like, you know, beloved daughter,
just something for that person, like, okay, this is,
this is for me, I meant to get, you know, this invitation,
I was meant to get this invitation.
So put that up at the top.
And then how are you planning on marketing this Hilary?
So this is, so what I've done is I just started going live.
So I've put this at the top of my group,
there should be a funnel, you know,
the draft is underway today, so this will be tomorrow.
So what I'm gonna do, I just started going live
just to introduce the notions of this.
So each day, like last night,
I went live in three different places to talk about
what would it look like if you heard,
your waiting is over, it is finished.
So we know how to look at the need for prayer,
but have we ever considered looking at the answer,
at our prayer's answer?
So, and then, and then, you know, so anyway,
I'm just gonna go through and start to introduce,
and then when the funnel's ready,
I'm just to connect to my group, my business page,
and then invite people I know,
hey, do you know any women who are traumatized underneath,
you know, destructive relationships
and they really need relief?
So is this, would you classify this
as a more of a re-engagement campaign of your groups?
So that's-
Versus like gathering new people?
So that's definitely how I'm starting.
Cause I've been like, I, for over a year now,
I kind of went down and, and so this is,
this is starting up and then they'll definitely be,
but this is gonna go into, it's kind of like,
you can have a new life by the holidays.
You can be, you can be a new you by the holidays.
And so we'll go from this into whoever comes in.
It's kind of like the doors will close
on the wise virgins that go in
for 60, 90 day process of, you know, transformation.
So, so yeah, I think it's a great way to re-engage a group
that kind of has been just like-
Dormant.
Dormant, that's a good word, for the last year.
And I would really re,
cause that's, that's already warm audience
and they've already been engaged with you.
They've already been helped by you.
So re-engage them, but maybe utilize them
to be inviters to this so that your energy
can really be spent on re-engaging those warm,
the warm audience members and empowering them
to invite people because they're gonna be able
to cut through a lot of the like marketing energy
that you would have to do to like re-introduce yourself
to like, to re, to introduce yourself to new people.
Cause they're gonna be saying,
Hey, like I've been in this group
and this is what I've experienced.
So really like lean into that and lean into your group
and like incentivize them to invite people
because it's happening in a week.
So like, this is a quick turnaround.
So you wanna be able to manage the energy well
and manage your, like where you're gonna be spending
your like focus to kind of get the word out there.
So I would really focus within the group itself
versus spending a lot of your energy
trying to get all kinds of new people.
Yeah, we're, that's great.
I think that's good.
Is that helpful?
Yeah, that's super helpful
because I did tell the Lord there is always the 19th.
That's like, I feel like this is supposed to happen.
Yeah.
Yeah, go for it.
And what also doesn't happen,
like if it doesn't happen there,
you can also do it again two weeks after,
like just give yourself permission to do it again.
Like, yeah.
Yeah, that's a good idea.
Oh, that's a great idea.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Thank you so much guys.
Appreciate it.
Absolutely.
Let us know how it goes.
And if you like, cause you know, this is, you're starting.
So like keep up the momentum, keep us posted.
Yeah.
Awesome.
Are you all good?
Marianne?
Hey Marianne.
Yeah, hi.
I am having a problem with vidIQ.
Okay.
I was posting a 30 minute,
40 minute episode on YouTube,
but I want to edit part of it out
where I was talking to different people.
And with vidIQ on my computer, I'll show you the screen.
If I click on the one here,
vidIQ comes up with this box and I can't edit.
Are you sharing your screen?
Let's see.
Yeah.
Oh, sorry.
I forgot.
to actually put share screen yeah okay there we go yeah okay this is the one i want to do but it
comes up with this box how do i get out of the box so i can actually edit it okay so yeah this is
just when you're uploading the video um so i i want to edit it before i actually yeah so when
you go i'll go to visibility here yeah oh okay and then just set it to um private like don't
basically you don't want it to go live immediately no it's already private yeah okay so yeah if
you're in visibility you know you click next um so i would just say and then okay private yeah and
so this will be um this will just have it if you click save now it's not going to go anywhere it's
not going to show it to anyone um okay and now you can go to your this is what you were trying
to get to um i'm not sure why this says 18 plus but we'll have to figure that out because because
it says is it for kids and yeah you said no i've been putting no which is correct
well i wasn't sure whether it was making a difference yeah so hitting no is the right
thing if you guys are on youtube and you're posting you definitely want to say this is not
for kids unless you're specifically doing like kids movie videos um but yours i think you have
something else on there it shouldn't because the other ones don't say no all of those all of those
are already public it's only that one and i wasn't sure why it was doing different things but now if
i click on this video now it should now it should be back onto the oh you're right it is so now i
could now you can edit it there you go yep that was such an easy solution thank you no problem
yeah yeah go ahead that's good how do i get back oh i can stop it here okay oh stop share all right
i have something else to share but i don't know if it's what i i've been catfished i think um i
don't know if that's something to share here or do you want you know let's talk about it you've
been catfished well i i'm pretty sure i have um i i let people send me messages and maybe that's
not the right thing to do like private messages on your profile on my it's actually on um instagram
yeah so it's but it's within your account like it's not here yeah it is and and i've had people
that have tried to get money out of me for different things but this one was i hope i
don't mind invading your privacy um i'd really like to chat with you so i said why
and he said because you're a woman for god and i want a friend to talk to
and i thought okay and for some reason i i said okay well he shared different things
the over the it's been four weeks over the weeks it it got more um friendly if you like
and he was telling me he was an engineer he worked for a shipping company he was on the ship
um fixing the engine one big ship broke down and then then after a few days of telling me he
had to order parts and um couldn't get in touch with his uh bank account then all of a sudden he
says oh you could help me i'll give you all my details and you can i know and i thought oh you
know what i knew i knew two days before this was going to happen yeah it's like i knew and yet
every morning i get these long declarations preying over me and and i'm thinking this is
powerful and it doesn't compute anyway in the end i told you i i don't want your information i i'm
not going to do that it's illegal i checked with my bank and they said definitely illegal
and and thinking about it it doesn't have to be his banking information yeah what they do is it's
somebody else's banking information yeah i go in there and and make a transfer and then i'm the
fall guy that gets into trouble for stealing from somebody else's account and i've got all that
figured out and i finally you know i said no i'm i'm cutting off contact but but is this a problem
letting people message you and getting into this how do you manage it lindsay if people are messing
messaging you yeah so i i mean this is something where you have to be unapologetic if you all of
a sudden don't have peace about something because they're unfortunately they're spammers and things
and so i'm pretty like when it comes to things that are private
that message. First of all, as a woman, if anyone comments on my
appearance, like not even negatively, but I'm blocked
forever. They're blocked. Like any, well, any male like, oh,
your hair is so pretty, or like, they're just blocked. Because
like, that's just honestly, it's awkward, not appropriate. And
they're not my who.
And he wants to know if I was married. I told him, no, I'm a
widow. And I told him my age, I thought that'll put her to
sleep. Right. But no, it was oh, age is just a number.
Yeah, I think this is a great conversation, because this is
back to our security and privacy. So like,
you know what, what the thing is, and what I want to say is
you talked about us going into the wilderness, and being
tempted like Jesus was, well, this exposed a weakness in me,
where I'm vulnerable, because I would love to meet somebody who
I could spend my senior days with, you know, as a companion.
And so there's that bait, you know, tempted to continue the
conversation to the point where, where it's a battle to actually
say no, not not to what he wants to do, but but a battle to say
no to the relationship. And so I think for all of us, it's, it's
just a sign of how I was surprised. I thought how I'm a
mature Christian, how could I fall for this? But you know,
the Bible says, even the very elect will be deceived in the
end times. So,
and, you know, as kingdom people, we have tender hearts.
We want to help people, we want to connect. We're called to
relationship, that's a healthy desire to have. But we have to
put guardrails in place. And so I would encourage people that
are listening to be very cognizant of this when you're in
your private messages. So some of the private messages I've
gotten have been really good conversations, like people
reaching out, because you know, I'm dealing with millennial
women, we're talking about it, you know, anxiety. Yeah, you
know, so people have questions, they don't always want to
comment that I'm starting to get more, like just moving people to
a comment section, like if they're asking a question, like,
hey, can you comment on an episode, it's helpful for other
people to see the answer. Yeah, it's from a from a algorithm
perspective, Instagram, tick tock, tick tock, they're not,
they're not watching your private messages and counting
that as engagement either. So it's helpful for you to have
comments from an engagement perspective anyway, then to be
having all these conversations and private messages doesn't
mean that messages are bad, and you can't ever like connect with
people there.
Well, there are creators as well, where as soon as the
message comes in, they just get an automatic response that says
like, hey, I don't I don't check this, you know, inbox,
please comment on one of my posts, if you'd like to have if
you had a question or something, or email me or whatever it is.
So it gets it out of the out of the private message. We do that.
That's a really good idea. Because none of these have been
about my videos, really, right? They haven't had questions. And
this guy's I went on his site to look, everything is about God.
I mean, looking at it, it's it's, I'm assuming it's probably
a setup, so that you'll be fooled into thinking this is a
really godly man. And, but just, I think we need to be wise,
because we can be fooled.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And there's just been people that like,
honestly, like have had, you know, like, they reach out,
like, hey, I'm looking for a mentor. And I just I'm very, I'm
really I have to be realistic. I'm like, I'm not I don't do
private mentoring, like I don't offer that. Like, I can't go
back and forth with, you know, multiple conversations. And for
the end, if they're real, like, they understand that, like,
they're very, like, respectful. Yeah, yeah. People are just, you
know, and but we have to be aware that there's a lot of not
so great people out there. And so don't like when in doubt
block, it's totally okay. Yeah, yeah.
I mean, there's no one even gonna put this as a great guard
rail as well. I would not share my address with Lindsay, no
direct message on private on Facebook Messenger, like even
someone you trust, because it is going to a Facebook server and
whatever. And, you know, you could, that's easy to get hacked
and stuff. So we don't share, like, anything that's
confidential information like that. I've done that before. Not
with like people I don't know. But I'm saying even for like,
close, you want to be careful not to share that, like even
texting and stuff like that. I'm a little more paranoid.
That's like, that's like way addresses to your friends. Yeah,
close friends. But I guess, you know, if somebody is out to to
scam you, they will go for anything. And, and he actually
offered to, he said, Just give me your email address. And I'll
send you it again, because I told him I'd
destroyed the information.
And so I thought, okay, I don't think so.
Have you blocked him, Marion?
I, that's the stupid part, not yet.
You need to block him.
Yeah. I know I do.
I know, and it's hard.
And I'm so sorry.
Because today, he actually, I heard it ringing
and I didn't answer.
Yeah.
He's trying to get in touch by voice.
Yeah.
And I know I have to block him,
but I wanted to talk to you first.
Yeah.
You need to block him.
The world's a big place.
So there'll be other people.
Yeah. There's other people there as well.
So I think.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
If anyone sends me a voice message,
this is just another good security thing.
If anyone sends me like an image or voice
or anything like that, I don't check it.
We don't even listen to it.
Don't even listen to it.
Yeah.
No, I didn't either.
I just ignored it.
Yeah.
Okay.
I've had somebody else send me lots of photographs
of children in Pakistan.
Yeah.
There's like people that spam ministries
and they do fundraisers.
We get it all the time.
Kingdom messengers.
I just delete it.
Like lots of spam.
Yeah.
So anyway, and here's the other thing.
I don't think that's the case in your guy,
but there are a lot of bots that are out there
that will do this and you'll get like a random
and you'll have conversations and message back and forth,
but it's not even a person.
It's actually just a bot.
I know in this case, it was probably a person,
but a lot of times if you are getting messages
back and forth and they have typos
and they have little things in there to make it feel like,
oh, this is definitely a real person.
Like a computer wouldn't make this mistake.
Yeah.
So anyway, cool.
We'll just, I know we come on.
Thanks for sharing that.
I see it in the comments.
People are really glad we talked about this.
So thanks for bringing that up.
I know that's probably was.
So, and then.
How do you block someone?
So in face Instagram or TikTok,
if you're in a comment,
typically you can press on the comment
or you can press and hold, I think on TikTok,
and it will bring up a little list
of you can delete the comments, you can report it.
We typically just block it.
And what you can typically,
if you can't go do it in that menu,
you can click into that person, go to their profile,
and there'll be a section in there
where you can block that person.
Yeah.
And any accounts that they create.
And it's both ways.
So that person would never be able to see your stuff again
and you will never be able to see that person's stuff.
So it's two-way block.
And they just will basically never,
it was as if you didn't exist anymore on the platform.
So it's totally blocked.
So it's a nice safety measure.
So.
Yeah.
And someone else had had a block.
Let me just check the questions here.
There's quite a few.
Okay, good.
Hey, Marcella.
Marcella, what's up?
Hey, so I have a question.
So I was spending some time yesterday
preparing for this week.
I thought we were starting this week
and I wanted to be ahead of the game
because I was like-
And you are.
This time around, I am ready.
I am focused.
Not that last time around I wasn't.
I do believe it was God's leading,
but this time it's on me now.
The onus is on me.
And so I was writing and what I want to do,
and I just, I'm just,
I don't know if I kind of just got boggled in my mind.
So, you know, my thing is finding me with Dr. Marcella.
So I want to do like little messages
where I'll use for an example.
And I don't, and I, and I, this is for Lindsay,
you know, the content part.
I want to say something like,
like say Psalms 23, you know,
the Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
And I want to say something like,
so finding me today is embracing God as my shepherd.
I want to say something like that
because I want to lean into the,
to how I am the connection of discovering God,
like beyond more of the application of the word
in a more personal way.
You understand what I mean?
And kind of run that by you.
I was really struggling.
And then this, the whole thing of it is,
so I ended up, so I've got this little TikTok post
and I'm like, I know I cannot add on.
So finding me onto this part that I wrote,
because it's going to be longer than a minute.
So then it's that question of having like,
do I come back and do like a separate post
and go finding me today is from the insight
that I got from the, that I have from the scripture.
You know what I mean?
So is the idea is that you are being like,
you're finding yourself in the promise
or the promise is finding you?
I'm trying to think of what is the.
So it's kind of like me finding myself in the promise
or yeah, or it could be both ways.
So there I'm big on just applying the word
in a more personal way.
And over the years I have discovered like.
people don't really do that. It's really kind of just surface. It's not really a deeper way. And
so when I share some of the insights with my friends, they're like, oh my God, I didn't think
about it like that. And so it's just kind of a way to help others appropriate the same thing
for themselves. Yeah. Yeah. So it's identity, right? You're helping people with identity.
Yeah. I want to stir on a little bit as far as wording goes. I mean, I think it could be like a
quick sentence like that you could say that would introduce the concept or you could either,
I would probably tag it at the end versus the beginning. Cause when I'm thinking about short
form content, at least you kind of want to jump into the cut, like the content itself.
And then you can kind of wrap it with like, so today, like kind of the incurred, the payoff,
it would be about the fine. Does that make sense? Like you're starting.
Yeah. That's what I was really struggling with. But then it's like, I think I found myself like
the whole minute thing, you know, it's that minute thing.
Well, the way that I would at least structure the content is, is so like, for instance, when I do my
long form, Matt content, I'm like, today, we're going to take a posture of peace. I don't do any
of that in like short form content. It just takes up too much real estate. You want to jump right
into your hook for that piece of content, that big idea, that topic, but you could always attach
it to your payoff. Like, so today, like find yourself in this scripture and you can have like
a declaration or something that would activate them to participate. Like, so find yourself in
Psalm 23 by declaring the Lord is your shepherd. You shall not want, or whatever it is. I'm just
using that as an example. And if you'd like Marcella, you could put, put one of your short
form videos and tag me in the Facebook so I can see how you're applying it and I can add extra
feedback, but that's how I would structure it because you don't want to take up the real
state of those first three to five seconds with the same thing, every video.
Right. Right. So right now I'm kind of leading in with the hooks that you guys, you know,
not all of them, but just like, um, um, like pray this scripture, whatever. And so, um,
you know, I've been, you know, trying to be clever, but then I always want to tag at the
end of like, of saying like, cause my podcast is finding me with Dr. Marcella was really saying
it's about identity, you know, how, what I just said, but then I realized, like I said, I'm, I'm,
I'm getting longer. It's longer than a minute. I haven't tested it yet, but I believe it is.
So I got about three done and I said, well, maybe I'll just come back
and maybe I'll just do it as a post rather than on Tik TOK.
Yeah. You can like this, like experiment. Yeah. But I definitely think that it's worth you doing
like you're like the concept, take that and apply it to, as you write your short form format stuff.
How can I say what I want to say in 60 seconds or less? And I just add this as a quick tag.
Yeah. Yeah. I really want to just, um, my goal this time around is really connect to the whole
finding me process, um, that in Christ and, and how, um, through, you know, this growth
transformation journey with God, how that is happening for me and how it can happen for other
people. Yeah. And what you could do, another thing that you could do if you're doing the long
format as well is utilize those short format stuff as kind of, uh, ads don't make it promotional,
but like a preview of a longer format, something. Okay. So if you've done a long, say, if you've
done like a long format episode on Psalm 23, do do a series of deuce, like five or six Tik TOKs
that kind of are different pieces of that. And then you can encourage people to watch the full
episode. So what I do, so when I encourage them to watch the episode, am I doing that in the Tik
TOK? Yeah. I mean, you can just at the very end or in your description to say, this is a part of
episode five and cause your YouTube channel, you can like link for instance, to your like
Tik TOK profile. Yeah. You say it for the full episode. Yeah. Yeah. So don't make, don't make
like, I think where people make the mistake is they spend like 30 seconds of the Tik TOK talking
about where people should go. And I think it needs to be like a five second, something like
for the full episode, you know, go to my profile and they'll see like the link or something.
Watch on YouTube for the full episode. Watch on YouTube for the full episode.
Honestly, if anyone's doing any short, I know I've got a few people that are doing
three to five to 10 minute videos on YouTube. Every single one of those should have a,
a Tik TOK at least. And I would do it when you're finished recording.
The fastest thing to do is like record it.
And then take out your phone and say, you know, just share a nugget from that,
that thing that you were basically just try to say to do the five minute video
in 60 seconds, a lot faster, and just make that your Tik TOK.
So when you're getting ready to, to post the YouTube video, then also post the
Tik TOK, you know, and then you can kind of lead people from one to the other.
So sometimes it's easier to just rerecord it.
What for what's the short form or hoping for you guys to gain with the short
form is that that is your traffic builder.
So you're going to be adding value to people, but as you grow, and some of you
guys have already, you know, you've been with us for awhile, so you have your
longer format hubs, whether it's on YouTube or your websites or things like
that, but you need the traffic.
So this is what's going to accelerate that for you.
For those that are just starting, we're like, Hey, let's start kind of right
way up and build your audience.
And then you can start thinking about longer format stuff.
So that's kind of how it's working when it, when we're like, why we're pressing
into short form so much is because we were just, we're wanting to work with the
algorithms.
This is what they're prioritizing.
So we can't be upset about it.
Let's work with it.
Let's leverage it, but it's a great opportunity for us to build kind of a
larger audience of our who, so that they can begin to kind of be filtered into,
you know, products or long, you know, discipleship things.
And so you've got places for them to land and you've already got that built
Marcella.
So utilize that.
I was just going to say, you just gave me, you say that I'm like, Hey, I need to go
back.
Cause I think I got a few more, uh, little short messages that I can pull out and
lead back into the YouTube.
Okay.
I'm I'm I'm in the game guys.
All right.
I love it.
Cool.
And so you guys know, I know we're a little over time.
We have a rule that we don't want to leave the call unless we got everybody's
questions answered.
It doesn't mean you have to stay for everybody's answers, but if you have a
question, you're welcome to put your hand up.
I know we're your time.
We'll hang out.
And it's our first call.
We've got a lot of people on the call.
So if you have questions, don't leave with like, Oh, I wondered if I should ask
this question.
I know we'll be back on Thursday, but just want to put that out, but we'll go to
Amy next.
Okay.
I hope this will be quick, but I'm not going to be able to be there on Thursday,
but this is, is for you, Bruce, I think.
And Lindsey, you may want to weigh in, but something that's been daunting for me,
and I'm not talking about the recent challenge, but it's the whole advertising
thing.
Uh, and especially when advertising on Facebook and well, Instagram shifted, you
know, I mean, like what we were trained in like several months ago, um, things are
changing all the time.
And so I had kind of thought, all right, I'm going to use this intensive time to
like go into like change my, uh, Instagram ad that's been just running pretty much
on for several months and it gets a lot of traffic, but not a lot of followers, a
lot of likes, but not a lot of followers.
Can, do you have it on like, are you on that computer or we can do this next week?
If you're not ready, I would love to like pull up your account and this is for
anyone as well.
If you guys are running ads, Tik TOK or YouTube or Instagram or whatever, just
pull it.
Like sometimes we can pull up your account and we can kind of see what you're doing
and there's a few metrics we could look at to see if we could just tweak a few
things.
Um, and, but yeah, I could probably spot it a lot faster, but yeah, I do get a lot
of, a whole lot of traffic on, um, Instagram, but what I'm asking is, so what
I've been doing when I post a real, which now anything is a real, anything that's
video is a real basically, unless it's a story, right.
On Instagram.
And so what I've been doing is posting that.
Cause it doesn't like directly send it to my, to my Facebook, you know, business
page, right.
When you're posting on Instagram.
No, it doesn't.
You have to, even if my account is linked, you know, to where, yeah.
Oh yeah.
It's not going to automatically.
Yep.
Okay.
So, but I could just use that video and put it up as a real on Instagram.
Which I have not done before, which again, that's kind of probably get some more
traffic, right?
If I put it up on my Instagram page to put a real on there.
Yeah.
Okay.
So my question is on the, I do, I mean, like if I'm going to be posting, like
I'm going to, uh, more frequently, you know, like maybe five, five or six days
a week reels on, on all my, on my formats platforms.
Do you still recommend advertising?
Um, so that's a good question.
Uh, I can tell you from doing the challenge, uh, that we just did, like we
just spent a lot of money on ads and.
barely like we spent like a few thousand dollars on ads and we, I think we gained like eight
followers on TikTok. So don't, if you want to grow followers, now we have like, you know,
30,000 views, 100,000 views on some of our videos we promoted, but no, like it didn't affect our
followers. And in fact, it almost has like a negative effect on your TikToks, your account
for that. So the best thing just for TikTok, especially it's just let it be organic. It will
grow. You'll have a few, each of the videos you post is essentially an ad for your account. Like
think of it that way. So if you have 20 videos or you have 200 videos, it's just more real estate
people to bump into you online, essentially. So and the TikTok is definitely a little more
outside of time that you can, some episodes may, videos may get popular all of a sudden
two months from now. And anytime you have like a significant spike, you know, I know
Marian had like 130,001 video. I'm pretty sure like most of her followers were coming from that
one video. So you basically hit this one and TikTok sees that it's working and they just
put it in front of more and more people. So they kind of are promoting it for you for free because
it's keeping people into the video long, like for the whole duration, which is keeping them on their
platform. So they put it in front of more people, like the people who are watching it and so forth.
So it kind of works a little bit automatically. They're promoting it. There are ways if you're
trying to like get people to give you their email address or opt in to watch something or buy a
course, there are ads and things for that, that you can run. But I would say as far as just growing
the followers, this is something that has kind of shifted a little bit. You can definitely do it,
still do it on Facebook and it's extremely cheap to get a ton of Facebook followers.
But the Facebook followers aren't necessarily going to see your stuff when they're done.
Yeah, we're struggling with it now on Facebook.
Yeah. So yeah, that's good.
I wouldn't Instagram, I would say if you haven't been posting reels and you're going to start,
I would put your energy behind just doing that and seeing how much you organically grown because
I have found that reels have brought a lot of organic growth to my Instagram profile.
I haven't seen it on Facebook, although I haven't really consistently. They've been like you click
and it takes you over to Instagram. But I'm really just kind of thinking maybe I ditch the
daunting stuff of trying to invest whatever time to like relearn the whole new way of changing my
ads and just concentrating on the reel, which is really basically my question. Do you think that
organic growth? Because I do see that on my Instagram.
Yeah. I think with some of the stuff we've seen on reels, I would say that,
yeah, I would focus on that first. And then where the ads can come in is when you want to
take someone and have them come to an event or if you want to invite them to go download something
or buy something or have that $7, $19 product that's really easy to get. That can work really
well. And what's going to happen is all of the views that you get from TikTok can be turned into
an audience. So you can actually go back. Like at some point, if you say Hillary's doing her event
and she's had hundreds of thousands of views on her stuff, you can actually go run a campaign
either on Instagram or Facebook or TikTok that retargets everyone who's ever watched one of your
episodes. Because now you don't have to worry about, oh, I can't target Christians on Facebook
ads anymore. You can just bypass that. And if they've watched more than half of your videos,
a good chance they are a believer or whatever your interest is, whatever you're teaching on.
Yeah. If you're teaching on business or you're teaching, I know we've got some musicians and
stuff on here as well. Like if you're teaching on stuff, that's whatever it is, like they've
made it halfway through your video. Like there's a good chance because they're either going to
bounce in the first four or five seconds either way. So yeah, so that's what, so just in the
meantime though, you know, just beginning building all those views because you can easily at any point
create a campaign and very cheaply just get them to do something from that. So it's all
accumulative. Like all those views just build and build and build momentum. So yeah.
Awesome. Thank you. That's helpful. Cool.
Xavier said, is there a retargeting video for TikTok? You know, there's actually no TikTok
ads videos at all on KMTV. We never really taught on it. There is a TikTok course from Chase on the
kingdommessenger.shop website. There's a course there that Chase Chapel has done, which is
phenomenal on organic TikTok.
especially if you're doing it for business
and running paid ads and stuff like that.
So if you are doing something
where it's more of a business focus,
I would recommend that.
We've just started kind of doing the-
Yeah, I'm in Jace's course.
So that's where I'm learning a lot of this.
And we've been testing a lot of it with Kingdom Messengers.
So we ran quite a bit of TikTok ads this time.
I'm still figuring out kind of how it fits in, but yeah.
It's different, so.
Hey, Paul.
What's up?
Hey, sorry, I just thought I'd quickly jump in.
First, you just-
Thank you so much for really-
Can I introduce you?
Yeah, please, please.
So Paul is my cousin who's in South Africa.
He's graduated from BSSM.
And if you've heard all the intro music
and all of your free music that you got
when you joined the intensive,
that was all done by Paul.
We love Paul.
He's amazing.
Oh, thanks so much.
Thank you.
I just mainly just wanted to say thank you so much
for just your insight and your wisdom.
I feel really inspired and challenged by you both.
So thank you.
Just a quick question.
In terms of like short-term and long-term
for this next eight weeks,
what is your advice to balance that?
Like what is your recommendation?
As far as the long format or the short content?
Or like what-
What to focus on.
Yeah.
I mean, I feel like short form is,
if anyone doesn't have 10,000 people in their audience,
short form needs to be the focus
because this is about building that audience.
Because I think where the frustration for me
in my own journey, I'll say this,
is putting so much blood, sweat, and tears
into long format stuff without an audience
is pretty brutal.
It's so much better if you can build,
kind of accelerate that audience first
and then start to present them
with more substantive long format content.
So that's how I would build.
What is your audience right now?
Are you at 10,000?
No.
Okay.
You should be.
Your stuff is so good.
Thank you.
Hi, Steven.
I'm on 300.
So I really want to put some more time in it now.
Yeah, which is a lot.
So YouTube is the hardest one to grow.
Oh, nice.
Are you doing anything on TikTok?
It's great.
I'm on TikTok.
I'm on about...
It's kind of just been on the side.
So I'm inspired by this whole venture,
but it's on about 500.
Okay, yes.
That's cool.
So I would...
Yeah, it's hard.
Your stuff's really well produced and stuff.
Like, I know, because you're kind of teaching people
how to do music and for producers.
It's musical tutorials and stuff.
And those do very well on YouTube
because people are looking for how to do certain things.
Have you experimented with different titles
and keywords and different thumbnails?
Like even changing thumbnails to old videos?
I haven't.
Okay.
This is good stuff.
Yeah.
Okay.
Just, you can experiment.
I know a lot of YouTubers
like may come up with three thumbnails
and then they'll do one for a few days
and they'll change it to a second one and a third one
and just see which one had the most clicks.
And then you can like leave the one that works essentially.
That's like, for your particular niche,
that's a little more important.
We don't do that for Lindsey at all.
But, you know, and the same thing with the TikToks
is you can try the same video a few times
with like different thumbnails, different texts.
You can actually put a similar content,
maybe just edit it slightly differently.
And you can, it's kind of more of a shotgun approach,
like just getting quantity out there for TikTok.
And so you don't want to overproduce it
or over edit it or anything.
It's just a little bit more raw, but I can see.
And I think I talked to you,
I'll get you some of the people to follow.
We've got, I know Reva and a few others in here.
Yeah, Michelle Cuss.
Michelle Cuss, yeah.
Worship people doing music stuff.
So I'll maybe post some of those links so you guys can see.
Cause I've seen, you know,
I would just say good rule of thumb though,
if you haven't got 10,000 people
in your short form content to send them,
doing the long form stuff is a little bit backwards
a little bit,
because you spend so much time on those first episodes
that no one ends up watching.
So it can be a little discouraging.
If you've been doing that, there's no time wasted.
It's just a matter of focus in these eight weeks.
So the good news is that you've got,
and I'm speaking to several people on this call,
cause I know that you guys
have been doing long format content
and it lives on on YouTube.
And at any point you can move, you can point people to that.
So you've got places for them to land for your long format,
but take some time to start building that audience.
This is kind of breaking us again from that belief of like,
if it's meant to be, it'll just happen.
We're just kind of getting,
we're just activating ourselves and saying,
I'm just going to go out and find my who.
I'm not just going to like passively post something
and hope that it goes viral, but I'm just going to like.
take the next step to kind of go after my who,
I'm gonna use short form content,
format content to do that.
Your 300 people on YouTube are gonna now get
three or four videos from you every week
with the short form, right?
So it's still gonna serve them.
Cause you can put it on YouTube shorts.
Yeah, I wanted to show you like,
there's a lot of guys that are doing this tactic
and they're getting a hundred thousand people
following them on TikTok
and then they're starting to do long form content.
So we're 10,000 is like,
so this guy is like a legacy investing show.
And so he's on TikTok and look at,
it's just short after short, after short.
And so he's got a hundred thousand subscribers
on YouTube now and about that on TikTok,
but he just, he's only doing short form content.
He's not even doing any episodes.
So he's now starting to do some videos and other things.
I've seen him start to do some longer,
like 45 minute hour long, like deep dive stuff.
But just a good example.
I've seen this done in a number of places
where people are just doing these short,
cause it's a way to just quickly test a lot of things
rather than, it usually takes you five or six hours
to put us a three to five minute YouTube video together.
And you have to do,
it's gonna take you a lot of time to figure out what works
and get your process down.
Whereas it's just a lot of quick 60 second things.
It's like doing a lot of short reps with,
a lighter weight essentially.
It just gets you kind of done.
So good question.
Thank you so, so much.
Really excited.
Thank you both.
Of course.
And then Hillary just had a question in the chat about,
would you-
What she said?
Would you recommend taking our Facebook lives
and uploading to you?
I wouldn't upload a Facebook live to a YouTube
just because I would either do it live.
That's what we do with Kingdom Messengers
is we'll broadcast to Facebook live
and then we'll also broadcast to YouTube.
You can use StreamYard or Restream or something like that.
Just get it live,
to have it up there.
And that way you can do something with it down the road.
I just, unless you've got a really
big following on YouTube,
like I don't think people are gonna go watch like another,
like say it's an hour long live or something like that.
Yeah.
It's up to you.
Just experiment with it.
If you wanted to cut it down to like,
most content on YouTube is more in that,
like three to 10 minutes space.
So if you can cut down like a clip of it,
that could work potentially.
So I'm doing that right now is just doing like,
10 minutes or less, just starting every day.
But on StreamYard, you can only do three.
So I was doing one to the Facebook group,
one to my profile and one to my business page.
So I didn't have the third going to YouTube.
So I don't know.
Yeah.
You can do it to your business page
and then just share it to your group, private group.
Okay.
So you don't have to do two.
And even on your profile,
just go to your page and share to your personal profile.
So you only need one thing going to Facebook.
Facebook.
Okay.
And then just add a, okay, that's cool.
Thank you.
Awesome.
Okay, guys, we'll be back on Thursday.
We're excited.
This is kind of like a warmup week,
but we'll be right into it.
Go check out Kingdom Messenger TV.
We'll send you guys a link to go get to your accounts.
And there's a checklist there.
So you guys can start filling out
different information there and take a minute,
introduce yourselves,
tell us what your goals are for the next eight weeks
in the Facebook group.
And we'll see you guys on Thursday.
Bye.
