WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.140 All right. Hey, everybody. Welcome to the Church Digital Podcast. It's funny, the music 00:00:08.140 --> 00:00:11.800 faded out in my ears right in time, and I wanted to make sure I didn't mess anything 00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:18.680 up. But hey, Jeff here, founder of the Church Digital, excited about the conferences we've 00:00:18.680 --> 00:00:22.940 got coming up right around the corner. We, the Church Digital, we're a digital missionary 00:00:22.940 --> 00:00:27.540 sending agency. We want to equip and mobilize people to be missionaries in digital space 00:00:27.540 --> 00:00:33.720 around the world and through our equipping courses and communities and resources that 00:00:33.720 --> 00:00:41.220 we're sharing and even mobilizing people in the outposts for relational accountability 00:00:41.220 --> 00:00:51.140 and coaching. Man, it's so much fun. I love my job. I love getting to do what I do on a regular 00:00:51.140 --> 00:00:56.800 basis, and it is so much fun. I was having a conversation. I was working today. 00:00:57.080 --> 00:01:06.200 At a physical church, I'm doing some coaching right now with a physical church that is transitioning. 00:01:06.420 --> 00:01:10.560 It's on the older side of the equation. They're getting ready to like, you know, they're moving 00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:15.120 towards more of a generational thing. And, you know, I was telling them a little bit. It's 00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:21.500 funny. I mentioned World of Warcraft. I mentioned World of Warcraft. I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:01:21.500 --> 00:01:27.960 You know, let's talk about churches and video games. And one of the ladies here, oh, you're 00:01:27.960 --> 00:01:33.300 not in World of Warcraft, are you? And I smiled because it's like, yeah, I know some guys that 00:01:33.300 --> 00:01:40.880 are in World of Warcraft. Actually, yes. Yeah. XP Church is all about. Wow. And she, it was 00:01:40.880 --> 00:01:44.560 like it was a triggering mechanism because her husband evidently in college played a lot of 00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:47.780 World of Warcraft. Well, a lot of us played World of Warcraft a lot, you know, back in the 00:01:47.780 --> 00:01:53.720 day. And so it was fun. It was like, I had to like coach her through. But oh my gosh, so 00:01:53.720 --> 00:02:00.680 excited about the Digital Missionary Conference this next season kicking off tomorrow. Literally 00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:07.040 like right around the corner tomorrow here with the Digital Neighborhoods Conference. You 00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:13.980 know what? I heard an interesting tidbit that I haven't even validated. One of my team, Andy, 00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:19.080 we were just previous to this call. I came on this call late. I apologize. But came on the 00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:25.960 call here late today because we were doing a tech check with a lot of the sponsors, breakout 00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:36.620 leaders and the people in play. And so just wanted to, oh, cool. Yeah. So we are about right 00:02:36.620 --> 00:02:43.200 now, the Digital Missionary Conference, we're right at about 600 people. 600 people right 00:02:43.200 --> 00:02:49.340 now are walking into, are signed up for the Digital Neighborhoods Conference that's happening 00:02:49.340 --> 00:02:54.960 tomorrow. Excited about these people, the global reach that's involved. Here, the heart of the 00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:59.780 here, the heart of this conference, like I'm going to give you some inside scoop right here. 00:03:00.040 --> 00:03:08.500 The heart of tomorrow's conference is centered around recognizing that these platforms, they 00:03:08.500 --> 00:03:15.540 have a unique culture unto themselves. And if they have a unique culture, well, then why are 00:03:15.540 --> 00:03:20.500 we not treating them like neighborhoods? Why are we not recognizing the personalities and 00:03:20.500 --> 00:03:24.620 the cultures that exist in those spaces? And if we're talking about different cultures, by 00:03:24.620 --> 00:03:30.860 the way, what does the gospel look like in those spaces? How can we be reaching into those 00:03:30.860 --> 00:03:37.740 cultures, into those unique people groups to better represent the gospel digitally or even 00:03:37.740 --> 00:03:43.140 virtually or even in games like World of Warcraft? Listen, hey, the guy's talking crazy. Well, 00:03:43.180 --> 00:03:47.780 listen, if you've met me, all I do is talk crazy. But we're excited. See, I scratch my head 00:03:47.780 --> 00:03:52.760 when I'm talking crazy. But we're excited about the Digital Neighborhoods Conference coming up. 00:03:52.760 --> 00:03:57.700 So let me tease a little bit. I'm going to show you the venue. We're going to bring you in. We're going 00:03:57.700 --> 00:04:03.020 to show you what the Hublot experience looks like as well. We're going to talk about some other 00:04:03.020 --> 00:04:09.520 things. But let's kick this off first. And let's talk about what this what this experience is going 00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:13.540 to look. Laura, who who's going to be at the experience of what did the schedule is? Let me push this 00:04:13.540 --> 00:04:21.880 button. Oh, look, everything works so so magically. It's like I rehearsed it, which I did not. You would 00:04:21.880 --> 00:04:27.680 think I would have done a check check in advance. But no, sorry. I've kind of been running all day 00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:32.420 today. But we're excited about this.

DeMarcus is excited about 00:05:21.940 --> 00:05:27.380 the conferences coming up. Yay, DeMarcus. Thanks for jumping on my friend and sharing that. But we 00:05:27.380 --> 00:05:34.380 are excited about the experiences that we've got coming up across all of the conferences. We're going to be 00:05:34.380 --> 00:05:39.580 talking, I've been talking a lot about Digital Neighborhoods. You're going to hear me Friday, Thursday. We're going 00:05:39.580 --> 00:05:43.860 to talk a little bit about neighborhoods, but we're going to pivot because we got to, we're going to 00:05:43.860 --> 00:05:48.060 celebrate. We're going to start to tease what's coming up with the Control Out Recover Conference, 00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:55.320 etc. down the road. Oh my gosh, European. It's going to be crazy. Gaming. I'm not sure how gaming is going to 00:05:55.320 --> 00:06:02.120 work. Like that one, that conference is going to be 100% in Discord. And I don't know that I've ever 00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:11.100 seen a conference executed 100% in gaming. And FlatCap, you know, FlatCap's jumping on here. DMCons, 00:06:11.320 --> 00:06:19.600 the gaming conference, that's FlatCap's baby. And that's Andy's baby. So I'm excited about it. But 00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:25.500 even when they're talking about this, I'm like, I got faith in you guys because I ain't a Discord user 00:06:25.500 --> 00:06:32.700 like you guys are. Dems power users. I'm really more of just a pretty face in that. But we're going 00:06:32.700 --> 00:06:38.380 to move on. Hey, look, I just, I just, I constantly, I just want to bring more and more 00:06:38.380 --> 00:06:44.520 attention. This list keeps getting bigger and bigger. Would you just take a look at all the 00:06:44.520 --> 00:06:51.400 sponsors that we got on this thing? Like, you know, yay sponsors. But these are people. These 00:06:51.400 --> 00:06:57.020 are organizations. I feel like I just need to constantly keep pushing this. We got, you got 00:06:57.020 --> 00:07:04.440 Yatope chiming in from literally another continent, 24 hours to go, much less for you. My pro actually 00:07:04.440 --> 00:07:08.880 doesn't matter. It's still the same distance regardless. That was bad on my part. But look 00:07:08.880 --> 00:07:14.660 at all the people, look at all the organizations that are excited, that are backing, that want 00:07:14.660 --> 00:07:21.060 to connect and resource digital missionaries like you. It was, was funny, even at this, this 00:07:21.060 --> 00:07:26.340 older legacy church that I'm helping work through. The, the, the pastor looks at me and he's 00:07:26.340 --> 00:07:31.720 like, Jeff, you're the future. The stuff that we're working on right now, you know, I'm saying, 00:07:31.840 --> 00:07:35.660 Hey, it's not today, it's tomorrow. But for a guy that's at a legacy church, he's saying, 00:07:35.780 --> 00:07:41.020 Hey, like he's even recognizing the stuff that we're talking about here. This is where we're 00:07:41.020 --> 00:07:48.200 going. This is where things are, are pivoting more and more that way. So be encouraged in 00:07:48.200 --> 00:07:52.820 the road that you're on and realize that we, the church digital are representing and working 00:07:52.820 --> 00:07:58.640 with all sorts of organizations like the ones listed on this page to get the idea of digital 00:07:58.640 --> 00:08:05.140 missionaries out there in a massive, massive way. So let's do this. Let's dig in to what's 00:08:05.140 --> 00:08:10.280 happening with the digital neighborhoods conference. Specifically, we're going to be kicking doors 00:08:10.280 --> 00:08:17.600 open 10 a.m. Eastern. That's U S Eastern. That's UTC negative four for our global friends, but we're 00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:24.800 going to be opening this conference in, uh, in tomorrow, 24 hours or I started to say next week. 00:08:24.840 --> 00:08:30.860 I wish instead, it's going to be tomorrow, 10 a.m. Eastern. And so you can jump on here, 00:08:30.940 --> 00:08:38.000 missionary digital missionary.digital www.missionary.digital slash neighborhoods. And so learn 00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:42.900 more about that. You can see, uh, Jason Jamo, one of our first keynote speakers, our first keynote 00:08:42.900 --> 00:08:47.860 speaker for this season. He's doing an incredible talk. Excited about that. Look at this. The digital 00:08:47.860 --> 00:08:55.120 gathering begins at 19 hours, 36 minutes. My heart just, my heart just bumped on that 19 hours away 00:08:55.120 --> 00:09:03.100 from this. Uh, 10 a.m. Eastern doors open. First keynote is 11. Now, you know, when you come to a 00:09:03.100 --> 00:09:08.060 digital missionary conference, this is not a webinar that you just sit back and play in the background 00:09:08.060 --> 00:09:14.340 and consume content. Who wants to consume content? That's so boring. We want you to lean in. We want 00:09:14.340 --> 00:09:18.340 you to dialogue. We want you to ask questions. We want you to sit around a table, meet some other 00:09:18.340 --> 00:09:24.120 people. We want to create communities centered around supporting digital missionaries. And I can't wait 00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:29.800 to show you some of the stuff we've got coming up, uh, with Hublot. And so we're going to get to, we're going 00:09:29.800 --> 00:09:34.660 to walk through the platform here in a second, but check this out. Uh, mark your calendars, invite your 00:09:34.660 --> 00:09:44.760 friends, 10 a.m. Eastern, 4 p.m. CET. Excited about kicking this off.

So, so we, that's just 00:10:47.780 --> 00:10:53.900 scratching the surface. What we got on breakouts, fluent faith, Jeff Vanderstelt. I've been waiting 00:10:53.900 --> 00:11:00.660 for Jeff Vanderstelt, Vanderstelt to share with this talk with y'all for a year, for a year. 00:11:01.660 --> 00:11:05.980 Scheduling conflicts one after another, either him or on me, like back and forth. And I was like, 00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:09.840 no, no, I don't want to do this as a podcast. I want this as a conference. Like this is, this is, 00:11:10.060 --> 00:11:13.840 this is a heavy hammer. The man's going to be swinging and I can't wait for you to hear it. 00:11:13.940 --> 00:11:18.500 Audience tracking. Your mind's going to get blown because mine was. First time I heard audience 00:11:18.500 --> 00:11:24.980 tracking, uh, was beautiful. I'm going to see that come on more, more breakouts. Dr. Tim Yee, 00:11:24.980 --> 00:11:31.220 uh, did soul care for digital missionaries. Lucas Pulley talking on calling underground network, 00:11:31.220 --> 00:11:36.300 talking about how to be called or what you're calling looks like. By the way, digital friendly 00:11:36.300 --> 00:11:42.540 organization. Can you be called to, to, to like a digital platform? I think so.

Uh, real faith in virtual spaces. 00:12:02.940 --> 00:12:09.180 My friend, Tim Selleck. It's going to be another one. Good. Good. Another one too. Reaching the one 00:12:09.180 --> 00:12:11.900 excited, excited about these that are coming up. 00:12:13.940 --> 00:12:18.740 Maybe the best talk of the day as excited as I am for the others. Dr. 00:12:18.740 --> 00:12:25.260 Pichelischenko, uh, talking about apprenticing in the wild, reproducing leaders for digital mission. 00:12:25.260 --> 00:12:29.820 I want to see, Oh, you know what the text, they cut it out. Who's Pichelischenko? 00:12:29.820 --> 00:12:38.580 Yeah. This guy is, I mean, I want to say directly responsible, indirectly responsible. Let's say 00:12:38.580 --> 00:12:42.780 directly responsible because even as you're apprenticing and multiplying leaders, at some 00:12:42.780 --> 00:12:48.700 point you get in directly, but this man started it. Pichelischenko through crew is in, in global, 00:12:48.700 --> 00:12:56.980 uh, global church movements responsible for something like 2.4 million churches planted globally. That's 00:12:56.980 --> 00:13:07.740 2.4 M with million with an M 2.4 comma 0, 0 comma 0, 0, 0. It's a lot of churches. And what does it look 00:13:07.740 --> 00:13:11.980 like to reproduce leaders? Well, how do you reproduce leaders for 2.4 million churches? I don't know. You 00:13:11.980 --> 00:13:17.100 just maybe start one at a time. Well, how do I start one at a time? He's going to tell us. And so 00:13:17.100 --> 00:13:22.780 excited about the idea of reproducing leaders, reproducing churches, starting a movement that 00:13:22.780 --> 00:13:29.740 grows beyond us. Y'all, this is going to be a challenging conference, live keynotes and breakouts, 00:13:29.740 --> 00:13:36.060 an incredible amount of connections, uh, table meeting peers, processing through times together 00:13:37.740 --> 00:13:44.700 with always. And if you know any of the events that I do always viable, powerful, real time engagement, 00:13:46.620 --> 00:13:54.540 super, super, super, super excited about the road that we have starting tomorrow for our digital 00:13:54.540 --> 00:13:59.580 neighborhoods conference. So what's it going to look like? What are we going to do? I want to walk you 00:13:59.580 --> 00:14:09.900 through that process right now. Uh, you are going to go to, um, let me see if I can fake this. Jeff, 00:14:09.900 --> 00:14:17.020 can you fake this? I can fake this. You are going to go to name. If you've registered for the conference, 00:14:17.820 --> 00:14:24.300 which I hope you have, you're going to go to neighborhoods, neighborhoods dot missionary dot 00:14:24.300 --> 00:14:29.020 digital neighborhoods dot missionary dot digital. Uh, you're not going to see that because I'm 00:14:29.020 --> 00:14:35.260 taking it instead. You're going to see this page pop up, uh, which is going to give you 00:14:36.220 --> 00:14:41.500 a place for you to enter your email address. You enter the email. You'll get these instructions 00:14:41.500 --> 00:14:45.340 via email. You probably already have today. As a matter of fact, if not, you will soon, 00:14:45.340 --> 00:14:49.580 but you're going to type in your email address that you registered for. Chances are, it's the same 00:14:49.580 --> 00:14:54.380 email address that you get blown up with all the church dot digital email addresses. I'm going to 00:14:54.380 --> 00:15:01.820 type my email address in there, and then you're going to get a log in code. This is probably going 00:15:01.820 --> 00:15:07.340 to get sent to your, uh, to your email address. I'm going to just accept cookies to get out of the way, 00:15:07.340 --> 00:15:13.820 but this is what's going to be sent to your, um, email address, get that code and paste that four 00:15:13.820 --> 00:15:20.940 digit code here, uh, in, in Hublot. And that's it. It's going to let you in a super easy, super simple, 00:15:20.940 --> 00:15:25.260 and you're going to see a page that looks like this. Well, it may ask you some biographical 00:15:25.260 --> 00:15:30.780 questions. It's going to like tell you to upload a photo of yourself and, and who you are and what 00:15:30.780 --> 00:15:36.620 your title is and what you do and what some of your interests are. I would encourage you lean heavily 00:15:36.620 --> 00:15:41.820 into creating that profile because what you're going to see here with this, this online conference, 00:15:41.820 --> 00:15:48.380 it's not a webinar where you sit back and talk. You know, me, we lean in, we talk, we dialogue, we 00:15:48.380 --> 00:15:56.620 two-way conversations to maximize your, uh, the benefit of this conference. You're not an outsider. 00:15:56.620 --> 00:16:01.260 You're somebody who's sitting, you're leaning in to the conversation. So I want to encourage you 00:16:02.140 --> 00:16:06.780 to build out that profile and get ready to come in and lean into the conversation. 00:16:06.780 --> 00:16:12.380 But this is where we are here with the reception area. You can see, you know, some stuff about the 00:16:12.380 --> 00:16:16.460 conference. You can see our schedule of what we got for the keynote speakers 00:16:18.700 --> 00:16:23.020 and, uh, and, and the sponsors and other things. And we're still building out a lot of these sections. 00:16:23.500 --> 00:16:29.100 Um, and then you're also going to see, uh, some things move forward. Uh, some of our, our keynotes 00:16:29.100 --> 00:16:35.020 we've got here, you can come forward and see that, you know, you won't have to join us host button 00:16:35.020 --> 00:16:40.140 because I'm cool and you're not. Uh, but you'll be able to join that session when it's time. 00:16:40.780 --> 00:16:46.300 You'll also be able to see the breakout rooms and you can scroll through all the breakout rooms that we have. 00:16:46.940 --> 00:16:50.220 And so you can see more of that. Just give me a little taste of that. 00:16:51.500 --> 00:16:56.060 There's a digital summary, uh, intro video. You can play that back and listen to that. And that's, 00:16:56.060 --> 00:17:01.660 that's great. And then there's a leaderboard down here. It's got all sorts of, oh my gosh, 00:17:01.660 --> 00:17:06.940 I'm kicking everybody's butt. I got 123 points. Uh, I think that's because it's the amount of time 00:17:06.940 --> 00:17:12.460 I spent in tables and in breakout rooms, but the more that you interact with people, 00:17:12.460 --> 00:17:16.460 the more that you can win the game. And so I encourage you to try to win the game. 00:17:16.460 --> 00:17:22.860 Evidently Mehret, uh, over at crew is a Jesus film is, uh, is winning the game. Dr. Tim love, 00:17:22.860 --> 00:17:30.620 love, love me, Dr. Tim. Dr. Tim is, is winning the game too. And so here at the reception, 00:17:30.620 --> 00:17:35.100 when you log in, this just gives you an overview of what's going on in the conference, 00:17:35.100 --> 00:17:40.700 but what you really want to lean into is really this menu bar up here. Okay. It's going to give 00:17:40.700 --> 00:17:46.220 you the schedule of what's going on, which doesn't, I mean, it looks, this is really the schedules, 00:17:46.220 --> 00:17:50.780 how you access the keynotes, the breakout rooms, by the way, is the next tab here. 00:17:52.140 --> 00:17:58.460 This is where you see all the rooms. And so when it's time to join the rooms, uh, you can choose 00:17:58.460 --> 00:18:04.220 the one that you want to, they're all labeled with like the, the name of the speaker, the topic and the 00:18:04.220 --> 00:18:10.380 organization they're with. And so you've got all sorts of access to that. You can click on the tables 00:18:10.380 --> 00:18:16.460 and have a conversation. A lot of our tables are sponsor-based. So you see global church movements 00:18:16.460 --> 00:18:21.420 right up here at the top next to the church digital. And then we've got crew, we've got God tools, 00:18:21.420 --> 00:18:30.220 we've got Jesus film next steps. We've got right now media. We've got Reliant. Uh, we've got Cherith. 00:18:30.220 --> 00:18:34.620 Uh, we're going to have a prayer table here, uh, meet somebody new. We're going to have different 00:18:34.620 --> 00:18:40.540 topics that are going to be on the tables, but listen, this is all set up for you to engage 00:18:40.540 --> 00:18:49.100 in the dialogue, uh, with somebody that's doing ministry globally. Find people, learn from them, 00:18:49.100 --> 00:18:55.340 ask questions, uh, dialogue. Like, Hey, in, in the world of, of square pegs that don't fit in round 00:18:55.340 --> 00:19:00.860 holes, uh, it's, it's time to get the square pegs together and get them to connect. That's what we're 00:19:00.860 --> 00:19:07.660 trying to do here with the conference and specifically with the tables is get a way to connect in the 00:19:07.660 --> 00:19:14.460 dialogue, uh, the breakout rooms. This is a great way to talk on, to learn something on a specific 00:19:14.460 --> 00:19:21.340 topic and to ask questions in the dialogue. The keynotes are a great place for your head to explode 00:19:21.340 --> 00:19:27.740 because I know these particular speakers on these particular topics make my head explode. And if my head's 00:19:27.740 --> 00:19:35.500 exploding, chances are you're going to be to yours as well. But the tables, the tables are designed for 00:19:35.500 --> 00:19:44.380 you to interact in the dialogue directly with people. So go meet some people, have some conversations, 00:19:44.380 --> 00:19:50.780 lean into it. Hey, check this out. I'm excited about this. Our sponsors booth. We have a virtual booth 00:19:50.780 --> 00:19:57.180 set up with all sorts of resources for Jesus film, next steps, cruise building, 00:19:57.180 --> 00:20:03.820 there's our global church movements. Uh, I had, I talked with, uh, someone in Albania today, uh, 00:20:03.820 --> 00:20:08.860 about building this out and excited to see this crew. God tools, you know, let's, let's lean into the 00:20:08.860 --> 00:20:13.660 Jesus film when I want to see what Jesus film next steps. And so they got a video up here at the top. 00:20:14.780 --> 00:20:17.660 I'm hearing that. I'm not sure if you guys are. 00:20:20.620 --> 00:20:25.020 Yeah. I'm not sure if that's working to you, but hopefully, hopefully you heard a little bit of that. 00:20:25.020 --> 00:20:29.980 That was fun. Uh, and so you can learn more about them. You can interact with their social media. 00:20:29.980 --> 00:20:35.100 You can, you know, take a next step on how to do that. You can watch videos. You can see some of the 00:20:35.100 --> 00:20:41.260 services that they're offering. You can, oh my gosh, I want to talk to Melissa. I'd love to. And so you 00:20:41.260 --> 00:20:47.900 can even click on chat and you can have a direct one-on-one conversation with Melissa or with 00:20:47.900 --> 00:20:54.860 who's going to be on the stage or maybe, Hey, I'd love to like, maybe this is Melissa available for a 00:20:54.860 --> 00:21:00.060 quick face-to-face conversation. Click on me and go ahead and do that. And if she's available, great. 00:21:00.060 --> 00:21:06.620 And if she's not available, she'll, she'll say no. Like once again, the reason we do these conferences 00:21:06.620 --> 00:21:12.300 are for you to meet people. And so maybe just, maybe it's an opportunity for you to meet some 00:21:12.300 --> 00:21:17.740 people, ask some questions and learn about some of the software, learn about some of the functionality, 00:21:17.740 --> 00:21:22.220 learn about some of the features, learn about some of the opportunities you'll, you'll have, uh, 00:21:22.220 --> 00:21:29.020 how these organizations can help you be a better digital missionary. I hope you're getting 00:21:29.020 --> 00:21:33.820 excited about this. And so we've got, oh man, they've got all sorts of videos up here at the 00:21:33.820 --> 00:21:39.660 top. I'm curious how they've jumped that. Is that YouTube? I guess so. This is, I didn't know you 00:21:39.660 --> 00:21:44.700 could do this. This is cool. You see all the different Jesus films up here at the top. Maybe I should do 00:21:44.700 --> 00:21:53.740 that. Cool. God bless the people at Hublot for building this platform out. And so you can see, 00:21:53.740 --> 00:22:00.380 once again, all the sponsors that we've got here, um, Alliance mission, project, Exodus regeneration, 00:22:01.340 --> 00:22:11.260 uh, bam portals, um, uh, Reliant, the church digital, of course, right now, media crew, God tools, 00:22:11.660 --> 00:22:20.060 uh, next steps, Jesus film, and then crew global church movements. There's a lot of energy coming into 00:22:20.060 --> 00:22:26.540 here with a lot of resourcing that we want to see happen at the global level. And then there's the 00:22:26.540 --> 00:22:32.220 happening now where, okay, like what's open right now. So there's a breakout room that's open. It's 00:22:32.220 --> 00:22:36.220 our test room because we haven't officially launched the conference, but you click on this happening now 00:22:36.220 --> 00:22:40.620 tab and it's going to show you all the breakout rooms that are currently open or the schedule, 00:22:40.620 --> 00:22:45.020 what's happening on the keynotes or, or what's happening, what tables, who's actually sitting down at a 00:22:45.020 --> 00:22:49.740 table right now that I can join. And so the happening now is like, I want to join something. 00:22:49.740 --> 00:22:54.780 How, how can I get, how can I get in? Where am I? I'm coming in late. I don't want to be awkward. 00:22:54.780 --> 00:22:59.980 How do I find the action? And so happening now is, is going to be that. And so this is, 00:22:59.980 --> 00:23:05.580 it's just an overview of the menu that's, that's up on the top. Some other things to highlight, 00:23:05.580 --> 00:23:12.060 uh, the schedule, uh, what, what, uh, what things are coming up on your schedule. What do you want 00:23:12.060 --> 00:23:18.780 to be a part of? By the way, if you're over here, I believe that I have joined as a host, 00:23:18.780 --> 00:23:22.780 but I'm pretty sure you guys have a button here. Oh, you see where it says right here, 00:23:22.780 --> 00:23:29.340 add to your calendar, take a note or add to my schedule. You see that? So you want to put this 00:23:29.340 --> 00:23:34.540 on your Google Cal, click that and put it on your Google Cal. You want to take a note that put it 00:23:34.540 --> 00:23:41.260 into your account. You want to add to your schedule. You can do that. Uh, and that is already now added 00:23:41.260 --> 00:23:47.180 to my schedule. And now I'm going to come up here to my schedule and click. Oh, look, look how cool 00:23:47.180 --> 00:23:53.100 that is. Jason Morris is on my schedule. So I know I'm not going to forget it. Take advantage of the 00:23:53.100 --> 00:23:58.380 platform. The church digital is going to be working with Uber for a long time to go. So lean into this 00:23:58.380 --> 00:24:04.460 platform, uh, get at home because if you love the church digital, you will be getting used to. 00:24:04.460 --> 00:24:12.060 Google it's going to be a good, good thing. There is notifications, uh, and things, people that are 00:24:12.060 --> 00:24:17.340 viewing your profile notifications that are people are wanting to chat or talk with you. You'll see a 00:24:17.340 --> 00:24:21.900 lot of things in this space and, and, you know, push notifications that we'll send out throughout the 00:24:21.900 --> 00:24:29.580 conference. And then of course there's messages. My friend Cameron Bailey, uh, reached out a minute ago, 00:24:29.580 --> 00:24:36.060 but a lot of the DMS that you'll see are going to be through the messages. And so this is this 00:24:36.060 --> 00:24:41.500 platform. You're seeing how this is not a typical webinar. Y'all like I, you will never hear me say 00:24:41.500 --> 00:24:47.180 they, they market this as a webinar platform. And I'm like, why are you insulting your platform so much? 00:24:47.180 --> 00:24:55.020 This is nothing to do with webinars. Webinars is like whole other thing than what this is. This isn't, 00:24:55.020 --> 00:25:02.620 this is a online experience. And so joining the digital missionary conference is a great way for you to get 00:25:02.620 --> 00:25:10.220 connected into a, the online experience that we're off for offering this week. And we're going to be 00:25:10.220 --> 00:25:16.700 using the same platform for the, uh, for the crisis recovery next week and the European conference in 00:25:16.700 --> 00:25:21.500 two weeks. We're realizing in three weeks, the gaming gamers like discord for whatever reason. 00:25:21.500 --> 00:25:27.100 So we're going to go over to discord for that one. Uh, uh, we've got you to pay. This event is 00:25:27.100 --> 00:25:34.460 packed with very, very relevant topics. I'm excited. I'm, I'm actually curious to take on some of this 00:25:34.460 --> 00:25:40.620 because we're, I mean, we're, we're, we're challenging a lot of things here. Uh, when we're 00:25:40.620 --> 00:25:46.220 talking the digital neighborhoods conference specifically, it may make some people uncomfortable. 00:25:47.420 --> 00:25:53.740 If you know me, I'm okay with that. Uh, but, uh, it's, it's very, very exciting where we're going to be. 00:25:53.740 --> 00:26:00.300 Okay. Listen, so here's, here's what I need from you in the short term. We are, let's, let's pull 00:26:00.300 --> 00:26:14.540 up the webpage. As of me recording the video, we are 19 hours, 18 minutes at 41, 40, 39, 38. We're 00:26:14.540 --> 00:26:20.620 seconds away, 19 hours away from this conference happening. We've had a spike of people register, 00:26:20.620 --> 00:26:27.180 which is very exciting, excited to see the spike, uh, come about. Uh, and just obviously want to see 00:26:27.180 --> 00:26:32.460 that. It's so funny. You plan for months, you communicate for months and everything. Everybody 00:26:32.460 --> 00:26:39.580 signs up for everything. I love it. It's cool. No problem. Here's what I need you to do. Um, 00:26:40.380 --> 00:26:45.740 I want you to help get the word out. And so we've, we've built, a lot of you have heard me talk about 00:26:45.740 --> 00:26:52.620 this, uh, some media kits, some shareable graphics that you and some social media posts that you can 00:26:52.620 --> 00:26:58.140 help us get the word out. So clicking on the digital neighborhoods, gives you some information. Once 00:26:58.140 --> 00:27:03.900 again, the cost on all of our conferences, uh, is, uh, is free. It gives you a list of keynote speakers, 00:27:03.900 --> 00:27:08.780 but if you want speaker graphics, the Kelly Schenko, Cheryl Boyd, Jeff Vanderstelt, 00:27:08.780 --> 00:27:14.460 our own JMO opening up the keynotes for that, you can, you know, copy these and put them into so 00:27:14.460 --> 00:27:20.060 and paste them in the social media platforms. You can save them and reuse them, use them. I, I often 00:27:20.780 --> 00:27:27.180 put graphics and stuff like this, uh, as to text, to invite people to join online events or even like 00:27:27.180 --> 00:27:33.180 physical things too. Or we've actually created like complete shareable graphics that you can just copy 00:27:33.180 --> 00:27:38.860 everything, copy and paste it in. Uh, and so there's a number of pre-written social media posts 00:27:38.860 --> 00:27:44.300 that are available for that, or other graphics that you can copy and utilize, download the whole thing 00:27:44.300 --> 00:27:52.380 all in one fell swoop. Help us get the word out. First off, I do believe within your own social media 00:27:52.380 --> 00:27:57.580 networks, with your own influence. There are people that can utilize these resources. And so 00:27:57.580 --> 00:28:02.140 please take the opportunity, download some of these resources, get out there. One, just 00:28:03.980 --> 00:28:08.300 scatter seeds, see what sticks, because there's probably some people within your influence that 00:28:08.300 --> 00:28:12.380 might be interested in being a digital missionary like you, that might be interested in learning 00:28:12.380 --> 00:28:15.900 what sharing the gospel looks like in digital and virtual space, what the gospel 00:28:15.900 --> 00:28:18.460 can be, what discipleship is in digital and virtual space. 00:28:21.500 --> 00:28:28.060 I want to challenge you with this. And I said this previously, find somebody who can join you 00:28:28.700 --> 00:28:35.420 and personally invite them to this conference. Find someone who you want to mentor, to disciple, 00:28:35.420 --> 00:28:42.060 to train, to come alongside you. Cast vision with that person and ask them to sit through this conference 00:28:42.060 --> 00:28:48.940 with you so that they can better understand your ministry. Find the person that's going to come alongside 00:28:48.940 --> 00:28:58.700 you. If you're Paul, find your Timothy and join them in the journey. Find someone who can financially back 00:28:59.340 --> 00:29:08.140 you. Maybe it's a donor. Maybe it's someone in the family. Find someone who has financial resources 00:29:08.140 --> 00:29:16.940 that maybe doesn't understand what exactly you're doing. Maybe it's not like a major donor. Maybe it's 00:29:16.940 --> 00:29:24.380 just a family member that might be interested. Find small, simple ways to start in this. But if you're 00:29:24.380 --> 00:29:29.340 really trying to have a conversation about, okay, what does it mean to be a digital missionary and you're 00:29:29.340 --> 00:29:35.900 having a hard time explaining it to this person? Let the conference do the work for you. And third to 00:29:35.900 --> 00:29:43.420 that, maybe invite somebody that, either from your existing church or, you know, somebody who doesn't 00:29:43.420 --> 00:29:52.700 understand, not that is angry or, or, or bitter or judgmental, but maybe someone in your life that, 00:29:52.700 --> 00:29:59.020 that you've just, you know, like one of my close friends, like to this day, he'd say to me, he says, 00:29:59.020 --> 00:30:05.420 Jeff, I still don't understand what you're doing. Like it, the mind doesn't click for him. Like he's, 00:30:05.420 --> 00:30:12.060 he's, he's in ministry. He's incredible. Uh, he's very helpful as, as a person, but he just doesn't 00:30:12.060 --> 00:30:18.780 get it. And so conferences like this, this may be an opportunity to see a light bulb go off in 00:30:18.780 --> 00:30:24.860 somebody's eyes. And so take this opportunity to invite two or three people, find that person you 00:30:24.860 --> 00:30:32.140 want to apprentice to mentor, find that person that can help you, um, donate and help fund the, 00:30:32.140 --> 00:30:36.940 the work that you're trying to do. Maybe find that person that would be helpful if they were a 00:30:36.940 --> 00:30:43.020 part of it, he or she were part of it, but they're not quite there yet. Personal invitations for them, 00:30:43.020 --> 00:30:51.580 scatter seeds. Yes. Personal invites. Yes. As well. I want to challenge you both to do that. So scatter 00:30:51.580 --> 00:30:57.660 seeds, personal invites. Some of you, I just, I want to personally invite to this and I don't, 00:30:57.660 --> 00:31:03.660 I don't have a URL to this. And so, Ooh, that's the wrong thing. I didn't mean to do that. Um, 00:31:03.660 --> 00:31:14.060 some of you, I want to ask if you can, uh, serve us by, that was a very roundabout way. 00:31:15.340 --> 00:31:19.020 Oh, you know what? You didn't see any of that. 00:31:21.340 --> 00:31:26.380 That was funny. I thought you could see the window I was working in, but I wasn't sure. 00:31:28.140 --> 00:31:34.620 That's funny. Totally. Totally screwed that up. That's funny. It's not, it's not the right URL. 00:31:34.620 --> 00:31:43.420 I'll just do this this way. I want to ask some of you to join us to help serve in some of these areas. 00:31:43.420 --> 00:31:48.860 I'm, I'm looking for volunteers that are capable of serving for a couple hour slots throughout the 00:31:48.860 --> 00:31:56.300 conference. You can still watch the conference and be a part of it, uh, and serve. I'm looking for 00:31:56.300 --> 00:32:02.780 people that are capable of praying. I'm looking for people that are capable of providing some tech 00:32:02.780 --> 00:32:07.980 support. And I'm, and I'm looking for people that are, that are willing to be a greeter, uh, 00:32:07.980 --> 00:32:16.220 in, in some areas and just a relational voice. And so if you can help me, uh, by, um, by praying with 00:32:16.940 --> 00:32:24.060 people at, at a table, if you can help me, uh, pray with people that can greet people at tables, 00:32:25.260 --> 00:32:31.020 or if you can help me with tech support, three very simple, basic things, but would go very far 00:32:31.020 --> 00:32:39.980 in helping the conference go. That would be a major help for us. Okay. All right. I think that's it, 00:32:39.980 --> 00:32:46.700 y'all. I'm excited. We are, let's bring the countdown back up again. Push the magic button. 00:32:47.340 --> 00:32:58.140 We are 19 hours, 12 minutes and no seconds, 19 hours, 11 minutes and 55 seconds and counting down to 00:32:58.140 --> 00:33:02.460 making this thing happen. I'm excited. I hope you're excited. I hope you can share your 00:33:02.460 --> 00:33:10.620 excitement with somebody else. Great things are ahead. Um, I, uh, join me in praying for this event, 00:33:11.260 --> 00:33:19.260 uh, that people get excited for the gospel in digital and virtual spaces. And we can see God continue to 00:33:19.260 --> 00:33:28.620 move digitally globally using, uh, the, the, the tools and efforts and the resources and the commitments 00:33:28.620 --> 00:33:36.860 that we have. My prayer, honestly, is that another wave of digital missionaries is called out of the 00:33:36.860 --> 00:33:43.980 conference and out of the, out of the effort of the conferences that, that that's coming from this. So 00:33:44.940 --> 00:33:53.340 join me in that prayer. And, um, yeah, let's see what's happening moving forward. All right. Hey, 00:33:53.340 --> 00:33:57.660 I'm going to wrap up the stream today, short and sweet. Uh, but thanks for this. Uh, evidently, 00:33:57.660 --> 00:34:02.220 I'm doing a lot of talking tomorrow for the next digital missionary conference, digital neighborhoods 00:34:02.540 --> 00:34:09.660 kicking off Tuesday, Wednesday, 9, 17, September 17th, 10 a.m. Eastern doors open. 00:34:10.620 --> 00:34:17.100 See you there.
