For those of you who are with us for the first time, let's just talk a little bit about who
Kingdom Messengers is for, what this challenge is for.
Maybe you are an author, maybe you've written a book, maybe you have been a content creator
in other mediums.
You've written a book, or you've had a blog, or maybe you're a pastor, you're teaching
every Sunday, but you're interested in kind of broadening your scope and utilizing technology
and getting more out there, getting your message more out there.
Maybe you're a coach, maybe you're a life coach, or a mentor, or a business coach, and
you want to help disciple people online, maybe you've been doing that in person and you want
to branch out more.
Or maybe you're just like someone who was like me two years ago, who had a message strung
in their heart and they just didn't know how to get it out in the world, and I had to let
go of what I thought large-scale ministry looked like.
I had to have a best-selling book, I had to get speaker engagements, I had to have a big
travel budget.
I released all of that, and I started to pioneer something new and different with the Lord,
and here we are.
When wanting to impart with you our mindset, the way we're thinking about things when it
comes to being missionaries in the digital landscape, I think there's going to be a lot
of our impartation happening, so you can be expectant of that.
If you're new, I'm Lindsay, this is Bruce.
Yup, and this is our family here.
We got Hannah Lee, who's hanging out with us.
She is our victory baby.
We long-awaited victory baby that was born last year, and then our first-born furry friend,
Scout.
We have been serving content creators for over 12 years.
We've worked with churches in the past, we've worked with faith-based businesses, nonprofit
organizations.
It's really cool, and I'm sure you guys have experienced this in your own stories with
the Lord, how you step back and look maybe a decade, and you see how he's connected the
dots all along the way, and what feels new today is something that he's been building
way before you were even aware that he was building that, and I'm seeing a few people
nod their heads yes, and that's our story.
When we started off, we were helping churches with production, and helping nonprofits build
their websites, and then we became the online campus pastors before that was really a thing
at our church, and just kind of helping with live streams, and setting up social media
accounts for our church, and all of that stuff, and so along the way, the Lord has been building
this desire deep within us to leverage the digital landscape to disciple nations, and
he's also given us experience and skill in different areas that have converged for such
a time as this.
So Bruce in the tech space?
Yeah, we've always been involved in tech, and video, and production, and software, and
all things technical, and really around the idea of helping get a message of the gospel
out into the world, and even in our business, that's what we've been doing for years, has
been helping ministries and organizations get more and more content, and we had done
this for a lot of other people, and that's when we kind of, everything sort of came together
when Lindsay launched her own podcast two years ago, and so we were able to use all
these things.
It's Romans 828, right?
The Lord's made everything work together, all these different components kind of came
together, the marketing side, the social media side, the content side, the technology, all
of it sort of collided in the middle, and that's kind of what came out of this, and
so we've been leading Kingdom Messengers for a year and a half now.
We have close to 1,600 people in our community that have just been a part of events like
this, and we had no idea this was how it was going to go.
We actually, joking, you know, last January, we launched our first challenge, and we thought
maybe 20 people would show up.
We really had no idea, and had a few hundred people show up on that first event, so it's
been amazing.
It's amazing the reach that online has had, even as we've even been teaching this to others.
It's been amazing how fast this has grown online.
And it came from a conversation with the Lord as we were walking into 2021, after I've
been running my podcast for almost a year, and we said, Lord, what's ahead for this year?
We'd love to have that conversation with Him at the end of each year, and we felt like
He gave us an invitation of two different options, and He said, we can grow Posture
to a million.
We can spend the year doing that, or if you want, we can help others do what you just
did, and as a collective, we can reach a million together.
I always tell people there was no wrong answer, because the worthiness was not in the outcome,
it was in the partnership with the Lord, so I think someone needs to hear that tonight.
It wasn't about like, oh, it was so much more worthy for Lindsay to go help people, no.
The Lord was offering me partnership in both areas.
We just thought, you know what would be fun, and what's really the desire stirring in our
heart, is to do this with others.
Let's build a community and reach a million collectively.
and then a million more and a million more and so that's kind of how that's
how it all started and that's that's where we are now so awesome that's who
we are
