We are streaming this live on the air. 00:00:36.900 --> 00:00:41.340 I am sick as a dog, so this is going to be a really interesting experience 00:00:41.340 --> 00:00:44.420 as we are broadcasting and doing this live on the air, 00:00:44.440 --> 00:00:46.720 as I'm probably going to cough and gag on something here in a second. 00:00:46.820 --> 00:00:48.600 That's gross, Jeff. Why are you talking about that on air? 00:00:48.980 --> 00:00:51.860 Hey, let's move on. Here with Episode 199, 00:00:51.860 --> 00:00:56.100 we are talking about some of the big, big changes coming to the Church Digital. 00:00:56.260 --> 00:01:01.400 Lots of really interesting things happening in the coming year, 2022 and beyond. 00:01:01.540 --> 00:01:04.740 2021 brought some changes in itself. 00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:06.340 I resigned from Stadia. 00:01:07.380 --> 00:01:09.020 Mutually, everybody is happy. 00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:11.420 Everybody, the transition went very well. 00:01:11.800 --> 00:01:12.780 I still partner. 00:01:12.980 --> 00:01:16.140 I still contract with Stadia and helping with digital church planting. 00:01:16.140 --> 00:01:22.280 I think just this morning, I was talking with a Stadia partner, a Stadia organization, 00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:26.940 and love what Stadia is doing and what the future holds for that org. 00:01:27.260 --> 00:01:32.520 But there was this place where I felt that God was leading me to do something different. 00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:34.820 And that's what brought about some of this change. 00:01:34.820 --> 00:01:39.620 And we're going to talk a little bit about some of the changes we've already have in the past here, 00:01:39.700 --> 00:01:42.620 a little bit through the Church Digital podcast here. 00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:47.860 As a matter of fact, last week, we talked about this where literally tomorrow, 00:01:48.180 --> 00:01:53.440 in the next couple of days, I am starting as a director of META for Leadership Network. 00:01:53.580 --> 00:01:53.940 That's right. 00:01:54.340 --> 00:01:57.040 META, Leadership Network, is coming back. 00:01:57.040 --> 00:01:58.800 Exponential Acquired Leadership Network. 00:01:59.060 --> 00:02:04.600 And we had Todd Wilson on the podcast, episode 198, just last week, 00:02:05.020 --> 00:02:11.800 talking about the META Church, what the church can, should, and will look like in the METAverse 00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:14.240 and how we need to take steps to do that today. 00:02:14.320 --> 00:02:17.200 Maybe what are some of the challenges that the META Church faces? 00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:20.100 Well, Leadership Network wants to pioneer in that. 00:02:20.180 --> 00:02:25.140 And so they've contracted me for a role to be director of META. 00:02:25.140 --> 00:02:31.100 Guess what? I get to talk about META Church all day long and create content and blogs and live shows, 00:02:31.180 --> 00:02:32.200 and it's going to be awesome. 00:02:32.320 --> 00:02:33.120 I'm really looking forward to that. 00:02:33.180 --> 00:02:35.360 You're going to hear more about that in the time to come. 00:02:35.660 --> 00:02:41.900 In addition, the real reason that I stepped out of Stadia and kind of went on this new path 00:02:41.900 --> 00:02:45.040 was this idea of creating a digital church network. 00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:50.600 Now, we're going to talk a lot more about that in the next episode. 00:02:50.600 --> 00:02:54.300 Episode 200 of these podcast episodes. 00:02:54.440 --> 00:02:54.800 That's incredible. 00:02:55.140 --> 00:02:59.700 So you're going to hear more about what that's going to look like in episode 200. 00:03:00.300 --> 00:03:03.940 As a matter of fact, and even along the way, I just wanted to give a shout out, Garrett Silji. 00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:07.680 We have been, as one of, just a side hustle almost. 00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:11.420 One of the things that I've been working on was a production company. 00:03:11.480 --> 00:03:15.700 I had been doing it pre-Stadia, pre-COVID, over the past maybe five years or so. 00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:23.880 And Garrett, when COVID hit, my life obviously changed and got a lot more busy towards digital type things. 00:03:23.880 --> 00:03:27.860 And I handed it over to Garrett Silji, who's actually the producer of the podcast. 00:03:27.860 --> 00:03:31.640 And Garrett's been running this production company on the side. 00:03:31.700 --> 00:03:37.160 So much so that we ended up launching it out to be its own entity now here in 22. 00:03:37.640 --> 00:03:45.580 But it's AVL, live streaming, venue, studio solutions, design, and sales with that. 00:03:45.720 --> 00:03:48.980 So if you're interested in that, you know, it's not really about that. 00:03:49.100 --> 00:03:51.100 But let's, we can move on towards that. 00:03:51.200 --> 00:03:54.220 Definitely love serving churches however we can. 00:03:54.600 --> 00:03:56.420 But really the challenge of all of this. 00:03:56.480 --> 00:04:01.240 So you can see, hey, he's doing something with Exponential, with Leadership Network. 00:04:01.660 --> 00:04:03.560 He's launching a digital church network. 00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:06.540 We're ramping up some things with the church digital. 00:04:06.660 --> 00:04:07.680 We'll get here in a little bit. 00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:10.160 We're talking about even an AVL company. 00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:12.460 Like there's a lot that's happening here. 00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:17.000 And so for me, I'll just be honest, the challenge for 2022 is simple. 00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:17.900 It's multiply. 00:04:18.460 --> 00:04:21.620 How can I multiply myself into others? 00:04:21.620 --> 00:04:23.720 Because I, Jeff Reed, am a lid. 00:04:24.280 --> 00:04:25.320 I'm a limit. 00:04:25.660 --> 00:04:28.440 There's a capacity to what I can do. 00:04:28.640 --> 00:04:32.180 And I often live at that point. 00:04:32.280 --> 00:04:35.540 And how do I empower others to do that? 00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:36.000 It's interesting. 00:04:36.100 --> 00:04:44.040 I had somebody tell me that in the old model, the old model for power was one of control. 00:04:44.520 --> 00:04:48.840 And so if you were a powerful individual, you were controlling situations. 00:04:49.400 --> 00:04:54.680 And what's interesting is this new model is one that's much more about empower. 00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:56.300 It uses words like empowering. 00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:58.560 It uses ones like platforming. 00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:00.440 It uses words like equipping. 00:05:00.760 --> 00:05:06.400 And so for us, for me personally, moving forward, as we're doing all these things, how can I empower? 00:05:06.540 --> 00:05:07.220 How can I equip? 00:05:07.540 --> 00:05:09.660 How can I platform others? 00:05:10.020 --> 00:05:18.900 Which is really the heart behind what we wanted to do with the Church Digital here in 22 because we wanted to get to this place where we're starting to platform others. 00:05:18.980 --> 00:05:22.940 You see, the focus of 2022 for the Church Digital, it's going to be simple. 00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:24.960 We're going to be doing content. 00:05:25.320 --> 00:05:27.020 We're going to be doing courses and coaching. 00:05:27.020 --> 00:05:29.000 And we're going to be doing consulting. 00:05:29.260 --> 00:05:33.440 We're getting back to the roots of where the Church Digital started, and we're going to be digging in. 00:05:33.760 --> 00:05:37.700 But the difference is that we're going to be bringing people with us. 00:05:37.820 --> 00:05:47.160 Specifically here, we are going to be platforming more writers and content creators for that content piece here with the Church Digital. 00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:50.700 Now, Church Digital primarily has been my voice. 00:05:50.880 --> 00:05:51.980 I've been the one speaking. 00:05:52.180 --> 00:05:54.040 I've been the one writing and blogging. 00:05:54.500 --> 00:06:00.260 But what's interesting, we just brought in Tom Pounder towards the end of last year, maybe November or so. 00:06:00.640 --> 00:06:10.060 And Tom, by the way, in the short time that he was here, I texted him the other day this, he actually has the most read original blog in 2022. 00:06:10.060 --> 00:06:16.400 So a blog that was written in the year 2022, he wrote a blog on MetaChurch that went viral. 00:06:16.880 --> 00:06:21.920 And by far is the most read, most viewed blog, just in the short amount of time that he was here. 00:06:21.960 --> 00:06:25.780 And he really hit a good topic on MetaChurch because that's really been a hot topic here in the past two or three months. 00:06:25.840 --> 00:06:26.400 Thank you, Life.Church. 00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:29.540 And so, hey, Tom has been doing a great job of that. 00:06:29.580 --> 00:06:33.240 And we want to start to bring in other writers into this equation. 00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:38.960 So, Tom, yes, continuing on with TCD Sidekick and what he's doing in addition to that. 00:06:39.380 --> 00:06:46.080 Guys like Andy Mage, who is an incredible, not only from a technical aspect, but understanding content, really, 00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:47.280 that niche. 00:06:47.280 --> 00:06:53.880 Angela Craig, who's done digital church planting with Pursuit Church Live and understands that. 00:06:53.960 --> 00:06:58.100 Women in ministry as well, understands that angle from a very high level. 00:06:58.660 --> 00:07:04.700 Chesley Lundy, a constant innovator and disruptor within the church, excited to have him on board. 00:07:05.100 --> 00:07:13.600 John Pyle, really starting to understand and dig into the mental health aspects of it and have done a podcast with him and excited. 00:07:14.100 --> 00:07:18.620 Marcy Carrico, she's actually the newest one here in this conversation. 00:07:18.740 --> 00:07:19.320 Everybody's new. 00:07:19.440 --> 00:07:20.940 But Marcy was like, hey, by the way, come on. 00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:27.040 And she's actually going to be doing a lot of social media for the church digital and wrestling a lot of these things. 00:07:27.180 --> 00:07:34.360 And so we're really starting to platform and build some other people that can speak into this. 00:07:34.420 --> 00:07:40.420 And the interesting thing is when you really get to know all of these people, all of them have, like I said, they have nuances. 00:07:40.860 --> 00:07:41.880 They have specialties. 00:07:41.960 --> 00:07:45.760 They have things that they're very specific for. 00:07:45.860 --> 00:07:47.880 Now, that doesn't mean that's all they're going to speak on. 00:07:47.940 --> 00:07:53.820 But there's an opportunity to really dig deep on particular topics and angles, and they're going to be doing that. 00:07:54.440 --> 00:07:59.760 By the way, blogs from all of these writers will start hitting the church digital literally next week. 00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:03.100 We're going to start publishing, and they're going to be hitting the ground running there next week. 00:08:03.180 --> 00:08:05.760 But there's really, there's more than just for content. 00:08:05.860 --> 00:08:06.860 There's more than just blogs, right? 00:08:06.860 --> 00:08:08.400 There's other things we really wanted to get into. 00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:12.540 And so we're going to be expanding the TCD podcast network. 00:08:12.540 --> 00:08:20.340 Now, some of you may know that we launched the podcast network technically when Tom came on board because Tom was like the other podcast. 00:08:20.460 --> 00:08:25.600 And anytime you got two of something, you might as well call it a network and get a more attractive label for it. 00:08:25.640 --> 00:08:33.780 So, hey, we're doing a TCD podcast network, but we're maybe legitimizing it more because it's going to be more than just Tom and I. 00:08:34.060 --> 00:08:36.620 And so for this, let's bring in this screen here. 00:08:37.060 --> 00:08:38.860 Obviously, we've got TCD Sidekick. 00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:41.460 If you're watching on video, you can see the image on the screen. 00:08:41.460 --> 00:08:44.980 I mean, TCD Sidekick podcast is going to continue on. 00:08:45.040 --> 00:08:49.300 Tom's been doing a great job with that, the church digital sidekick. 00:08:49.420 --> 00:09:01.740 In addition, Chesley Lundy Experience is going to be kicking off, and he's going to really be talking about that disruptive piece and digging into maybe a different idea of what church can look like. 00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:04.920 And he is so forward-thinking with the stuff that he's talking about. 00:09:05.920 --> 00:09:11.100 Yeah, Andy is going to be talking, Andy Mage is going to be talking about breaking the fifth wall. 00:09:11.460 --> 00:09:14.460 The idea of content and engagement centered around that. 00:09:14.900 --> 00:09:18.720 He is so good on that topic and looking forward to hearing more from him. 00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:31.640 And John's better on the inside with John Pyle, really doing an introspective, an inside look at the health, at the soul care that's centered around working for churches. 00:09:31.860 --> 00:09:34.500 You know, we're a tech group. 00:09:34.780 --> 00:09:35.960 We do ministry. 00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:37.000 We do discipleship. 00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:40.700 We're not necessarily system preferences and stuff like that a lot. 00:09:40.860 --> 00:09:45.520 But really, my heart is to have health in churches. 00:09:46.020 --> 00:09:57.600 Because coming from a guy that's been a career church staffer, I know the toll that it takes on the people that are out there doing the ministry, that are running these organizations. 00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:00.260 And if they're not healthy, then the church is not healthy. 00:10:00.300 --> 00:10:06.300 Which is why, you know, I want to thank John for coming on and really starting to dig into that. 00:10:06.300 --> 00:10:17.000 So, as you can see, we are expanding what we're doing ministry-wise, what we're supporting in our podcasts, in that, in the messages that are out there. 00:10:17.420 --> 00:10:20.600 All of these podcasts, I mean, obviously, Tom's is running right now. 00:10:20.900 --> 00:10:27.540 All of them are going to launch or relaunch sometime the week of January 24th. 00:10:27.540 --> 00:10:31.800 So, keep an eye on the church digital social media, email, website. 00:10:32.120 --> 00:10:33.060 We'll blow out. 00:10:33.180 --> 00:10:35.660 If you're listening on the podcast, check out the show notes. 00:10:36.100 --> 00:10:38.320 We'll include the links in there for easy access. 00:10:38.440 --> 00:10:48.500 But we will make this very accessible for you all so that you can test out, subscribe, and kind of see what's happening here with all of these shows as they're getting started. 00:10:49.340 --> 00:10:49.980 Well, hey, guess what? 00:10:50.220 --> 00:10:51.900 Like, this is just a piece of it, right? 00:10:51.960 --> 00:10:54.220 Like, we are, we're doing content. 00:10:54.540 --> 00:11:02.100 But we want to do more than just content for churches, which really starts to get us into this idea of courses and coaching. 00:11:02.100 --> 00:11:08.020 So, the church digital, and some of you, we actually sent an email out about this the other day. 00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:09.480 Some of you have already checked it out. 00:11:09.560 --> 00:11:15.680 We launched an equipping store, an online course store where you can go on. 00:11:16.020 --> 00:11:34.940 And our desire is to sell online courses to give churches like yours, to give people like yours, you, pastors like you, knowledge, experience, expertise, training to help you do the digital ministry or the meta ministry that God's called you to do. 00:11:34.940 --> 00:11:38.440 And so, that store exists right now. 00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:46.660 That online course store, which we call equipping the church digital, is at the website equip.thechurch.digital. 00:11:46.760 --> 00:11:50.240 Or, of course, go to the church digital and follow the link there. 00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:58.360 But the heart of this is we've, like I said, designed to equip your church to do digital and meta ministry better. 00:11:58.860 --> 00:12:07.580 Really digging into the technical, to the theological, and the tactical aspects, the challenges, and how to overcome those challenges. 00:12:07.580 --> 00:12:22.700 So, we're really hitting on just a full rounded approach here with the online course store, the technical, the theological, and the tactical challenges that will happen as a result of doing just the ministry that you're doing. 00:12:22.880 --> 00:12:24.840 Just a couple options we have right off the bat. 00:12:25.140 --> 00:12:28.780 By the way, Stadia Fidgetal, we offered, we created a quick start. 00:12:28.940 --> 00:12:33.460 We had Exponential, had exclusive rights to it in 21, and so now we're opening it up here for everybody. 00:12:33.460 --> 00:12:37.260 This is the cheapest we've ever offered anything Fidgetal. 00:12:37.640 --> 00:12:39.080 I want to say it's $249. 00:12:39.160 --> 00:12:40.000 You can check out the store. 00:12:40.160 --> 00:12:47.900 But this is bingeable content to be able to go through and wrap your brain around how to develop a digital disciple-making multiplication strategy for your church. 00:12:48.100 --> 00:12:51.200 Phenomenal asset right there on the course store. 00:12:51.720 --> 00:12:54.800 Similar to that, First Steps in Metaverse Ministry. 00:12:54.800 --> 00:13:01.220 This is a brand new course launched out by Jason Poling and Michael Used to Venice, 00:13:01.220 --> 00:13:05.980 who is with, both of those guys are with Cornerstone VR, Cornerstone Yuba City. 00:13:06.460 --> 00:13:09.240 Phenomenal course for people that are just wanting to get started. 00:13:09.620 --> 00:13:17.920 This is a great course to help you take those first steps in developing a meta ministry, a meta church, a meta, addressing the meta mission field. 00:13:17.920 --> 00:13:24.700 And so if that's your interest and really wanting to get into that, I would definitely check out what's happening with that. 00:13:25.480 --> 00:13:35.440 I think it's important to recognize, like I said, that we want to do more than just online courses, but there's coaching groups that we want to involve in that as well. 00:13:35.520 --> 00:13:36.880 So you can check this out here. 00:13:36.880 --> 00:13:41.580 This is a meta church coaching cohort that we are just starting now. 00:13:41.860 --> 00:13:43.020 I mean, literally right now. 00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:47.280 This is with DJ Soto, Jason Poling, and Michael Used to Venice. 00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:50.460 But by the way, man, I want to be in a cohort with DJ Soto. 00:13:50.560 --> 00:13:52.920 The guy literally invented meta church. 00:13:53.180 --> 00:13:56.180 He's the freaking bishop to the metaverse. 00:13:56.840 --> 00:13:58.540 And yes, that would be incredible. 00:13:59.120 --> 00:14:04.080 And so here's an opportunity to jump in with a cohort with him and some others that we're putting together. 00:14:05.160 --> 00:14:12.200 And then once again, or I don't know once again, but here's a digital church cohort that we're doing, a coaching cohort we're doing as well. 00:14:12.200 --> 00:14:17.180 And this is with Andy Mages, the Tom Pounders, the Chesley Lundy, and myself with that. 00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:36.180 And so once again, you're seeing here, we're starting to platform other people into this and start to create opportunities for others to share their specialties, their knowledge, their information as they're going, as they're trying to encourage others into the digital journey. 00:14:36.180 --> 00:14:38.700 I can't reiterate this enough. 00:14:38.920 --> 00:14:44.300 I have had a dozen conversations in the past six months with people. 00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:47.860 Hey, Jeff, how do we get to where you are? 00:14:48.400 --> 00:14:52.580 Which I think is crazy because, you know, I'm humbly, I'm nothing. 00:14:53.100 --> 00:14:58.120 But what's interesting to me is there are so many people that want to help churches. 00:14:58.800 --> 00:15:05.500 And so for the Church Digital, we are literally wanting to be that platform to help others in that. 00:15:05.500 --> 00:15:10.240 So, hey, you've got crazy ideas for a cohort or you want to create an online course for something. 00:15:10.540 --> 00:15:16.500 You're interested in creating some side hustle because Lord knows ministry doesn't pay what a secular job would pay. 00:15:16.860 --> 00:15:20.120 We are open to that and would love some ideas. 00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:23.060 So feel free to throw any ideas at me. 00:15:23.120 --> 00:15:24.160 Shoot me an email with that. 00:15:24.700 --> 00:15:34.860 With the coaching groups, specifically here with the coaching groups, man, you're just not interacting with these experts that are in these groups. 00:15:34.860 --> 00:15:49.280 But you're really digging in as well with the churches that are in there, that are on the same journey as you, encouraging each other, reiterating with each other, experimenting, giving feedback with that. 00:15:49.760 --> 00:15:59.280 And for me with the coaching group, that's really why I think these coaching groups and cohorts are so powerful, especially the ones that at least that I've been a part of and that I've had the experience of. 00:15:59.280 --> 00:16:05.000 Oftentimes in my ministry, as I was thinking different, there was nobody on my staff who was thinking like me. 00:16:05.620 --> 00:16:12.080 And so the ability for me to get feedback from others within the staff, well, it just wasn't there because none of them were on the same page as me. 00:16:12.820 --> 00:16:16.300 Doing a coaching group here is an opportunity for you to get that feedback. 00:16:16.560 --> 00:16:24.560 It's the considerate digital or meta Proverbs 27, iron sharpening iron that's going to happen as a result of that. 00:16:24.980 --> 00:16:25.220 Awesome. 00:16:25.540 --> 00:16:26.140 Hey, all right. 00:16:26.180 --> 00:16:27.980 So first off, like I said, we had content. 00:16:28.120 --> 00:16:29.360 Second off, we had second off. 00:16:29.420 --> 00:16:29.800 That was weird. 00:16:30.160 --> 00:16:33.760 Second part was coaching and courses. 00:16:34.280 --> 00:16:36.720 And then the third part we wanted to get into was consulting. 00:16:37.220 --> 00:16:41.440 So the church digital, we are launching up our consulting arm again. 00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:45.940 Some churches, man, you need a little more handholding than what the cohort can give. 00:16:46.100 --> 00:16:50.820 And so you need somebody, a specialist to be a little more involved in that piece. 00:16:51.460 --> 00:16:54.760 Maybe some orgs need a more specialized approach. 00:16:55.660 --> 00:17:07.720 And truthfully, the church digital, even at this point, even as I've resigned within the past couple of months, we're working with churches and organizations here in the U.S. and globally to help the cause of digital and meta church. 00:17:08.560 --> 00:17:11.640 And one organization is looking for this, one church is looking for that. 00:17:12.100 --> 00:17:23.380 It's all centered around, for the most part, discipleship, multiplication, engagement, conversation, digital strategy, application development in some areas. 00:17:23.560 --> 00:17:25.920 Like there's some really interesting areas. 00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:31.500 And I and the team, we would love to help you in this journey. 00:17:31.700 --> 00:17:38.840 So, man, maybe you're a church that's really wanting to fine-tune a digital strategy and you're interested in a one-day or Tuesday session. 00:17:39.060 --> 00:17:50.940 Or, man, you're looking at developing a project over a long period of time and having one of us walk with you as you're developing that new app or developing that new disciple-making strategy. 00:17:51.520 --> 00:18:01.280 Yeah, let's do that and let's try to figure out how the church digital and our team can help you in that journey that you're on. 00:18:01.900 --> 00:18:05.560 So, yeah, like there's a lot that's happening here at the church digital. 00:18:05.660 --> 00:18:08.640 And as you can tell, like we're not slowing down. 00:18:08.840 --> 00:18:15.900 If anything, this is a time to ramp up and to run for 2022 and beyond COVID. 00:18:16.620 --> 00:18:22.660 Well, the Omicron that is most likely coursing through my veins right now is not going away. 00:18:23.040 --> 00:18:25.320 It may be diversifying. 00:18:25.400 --> 00:18:26.020 It may be changing. 00:18:26.120 --> 00:18:29.320 It may be looking different than it did maybe a year or two ago. 00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:34.880 And not even that Omicron is the reason that we need a digital strategy or a meta strategy. 00:18:35.780 --> 00:18:38.280 Remember, all this is just an accelerant. 00:18:38.280 --> 00:18:44.560 COVID was an accelerant to the culture changes that were already going to happen. 00:18:45.140 --> 00:18:49.980 And we're seeing that even in the metaverse as we're seeing more and more attention to that. 00:18:50.100 --> 00:18:58.240 And even things like Life.Church broadcasting their services in there, kind of making awareness to, hey, this is an opportunity to do something different. 00:18:59.060 --> 00:19:02.780 I love the fact that in this season, there are churches. 00:19:02.900 --> 00:19:08.860 There may be few and far between, but there are churches that are wanting to do something different. 00:19:09.360 --> 00:19:16.300 And as far as I'm concerned through the church digital, we are going to help churches like that however we can. 00:19:16.520 --> 00:19:18.620 So, hey, listen, there's a lot that we're going to do. 00:19:18.660 --> 00:19:35.800 The content, the courses, the coaching groups, the consulting, all of that's coming because in the end, we want to help your church develop the technical aspects of digital meta, the theological, as well as the tactical aspects of what we're doing in our strategy. 00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:38.540 So, let's keep doing that together. 00:19:38.740 --> 00:19:42.880 Questions, feel free to throw it in the chat or whatever. 00:19:43.040 --> 00:19:43.660 Send me an email. 00:19:43.780 --> 00:19:44.660 Hit me up on social. 00:19:45.180 --> 00:19:47.160 And be looking for a lot of these changes. 00:19:47.480 --> 00:19:49.560 By the way, there's a new landing page on the church digital. 00:19:49.640 --> 00:19:50.200 You can check that out. 00:19:50.280 --> 00:19:54.880 But be looking for a lot of these changes coming out here starting even next week with the blokes.
