WEBVTT 00:00:00.336 --> 00:00:00.957 [Jeff Reed] All right. 00:00:02.157 --> 00:00:04.337 [Jeff Reed] I love it when technology works like it's supposed to. 00:00:04.357 --> 00:00:07.459 [Jeff Reed] Hey, so this is becoming the church digital. 00:00:07.538 --> 00:00:16.421 [Jeff Reed] Technically, this is episode 3778, but we're leaning in a little bit more today doing TCD's town hall. 00:00:16.441 --> 00:00:17.102 [Jeff Reed] So we do these. 00:00:17.241 --> 00:00:17.922 [Jeff Reed] It's been a minute. 00:00:18.582 --> 00:00:20.303 [Jeff Reed] Okay, look, I'm sick. 00:00:20.623 --> 00:00:21.364 [Jeff Reed] It's been a rough year. 00:00:21.923 --> 00:00:23.904 [Jeff Reed] Actually, it's been a rough year since the last one of these. 00:00:24.944 --> 00:00:30.268 [Jeff Reed] But we are coming back strong here with 2026. 00:00:30.307 --> 00:00:33.630 [Jeff Reed] This would be the fourth, the fall town hall. 00:00:33.670 --> 00:00:38.211 [Jeff Reed] But you can't say fall because different seasons on the planet mean different things. 00:00:38.271 --> 00:00:39.893 [Jeff Reed] And so this is point four. 00:00:39.913 --> 00:00:41.814 [Jeff Reed] I don't know if you keep up with such things. 00:00:41.834 --> 00:00:42.515 [Jeff Reed] But, hey, I'm Jeff. 00:00:43.315 --> 00:00:44.955 [Jeff Reed] founder of The Church Digital. 00:00:44.976 --> 00:00:48.378 [Jeff Reed] We've been hanging out here with, who is this we were just listening to? 00:00:48.838 --> 00:00:50.579 [Jeff Reed] Chill, chill, pop, chill. 00:00:51.080 --> 00:00:53.182 [Jeff Reed] Oh my gosh, I cleared the screen. 00:00:53.402 --> 00:00:56.443 [Jeff Reed] I should have given credit right off the bat. 00:00:56.483 --> 00:00:57.085 [Jeff Reed] Yeah, Chill Hop. 00:00:58.262 --> 00:01:00.344 [Jeff Reed] My stream beats doesn't exist anymore. 00:01:00.784 --> 00:01:01.525 [Jeff Reed] I'm very sad. 00:01:02.585 --> 00:01:03.965 [Jeff Reed] Harris Heller was my hero. 00:01:04.707 --> 00:01:08.449 [Jeff Reed] He was literally on my top 10 unplugged. 00:01:08.469 --> 00:01:10.269 [Jeff Reed] The guy was all over the place. 00:01:10.670 --> 00:01:18.054 [Jeff Reed] I named my car Lo-Fi Lola because of Harris Heller and his Lo-Fi. 00:01:18.074 --> 00:01:22.616 [Jeff Reed] But now we're checking out Lo-Fi Cat, kind of expending some different boundaries here. 00:01:23.076 --> 00:01:25.136 [Jeff Reed] Hey, excited to jump on the stream. 00:01:25.157 --> 00:01:25.917 [Jeff Reed] It's already been good. 00:01:25.958 --> 00:01:29.178 [Jeff Reed] We're doing this in... Now, I haven't been on Twitch much. 00:01:29.438 --> 00:01:30.838 [Jeff Reed] And so doing this on YouTube. 00:01:30.858 --> 00:01:31.659 [Jeff Reed] Hey, YouTube fam. 00:01:31.959 --> 00:01:32.499 [Jeff Reed] Good to see you again. 00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:34.640 [Jeff Reed] We're doing this on Twitch as well. 00:01:34.700 --> 00:01:36.960 [Jeff Reed] FlatCap will be joining as well. 00:01:39.540 --> 00:01:41.260 [Jeff Reed] Need code to get on Switch. 00:01:41.320 --> 00:01:41.601 [Jeff Reed] Really? 00:01:41.661 --> 00:01:43.721 [Jeff Reed] Like this is not working on Twitch? 00:01:43.761 --> 00:01:46.701 [Jeff Reed] No, we should be working on Twitch right now. 00:01:47.061 --> 00:01:48.202 [Jeff Reed] I don't know what that's about. 00:01:48.423 --> 00:01:49.883 [Jeff Reed] I'm worried about that, FlatCap. 00:01:50.383 --> 00:01:57.865 [Jeff Reed] Flat cap, say something in chat if I got a problem or if my Twitch friends aren't seeing me, but my Twitch friends have already been texting about that. 00:01:58.125 --> 00:02:02.445 [Jeff Reed] I'm excited to say right off the bat, let me just say hey to some chat people. 00:02:02.526 --> 00:02:04.965 [Jeff Reed] Mr. Pete is coming on as well. 00:02:04.986 --> 00:02:08.207 [Jeff Reed] I haven't seen Mr. Pete in a long time. 00:02:08.567 --> 00:02:10.008 [Jeff Reed] Good to catch up with you, sir. 00:02:10.288 --> 00:02:15.709 [Jeff Reed] And he, of course, is doing what he's doing, taking this to big screen right now. 00:02:15.769 --> 00:02:20.109 [Jeff Reed] So in addition to Twitch and YouTube, 00:02:21.069 --> 00:02:22.590 [Jeff Reed] doing this on big screen. 00:02:23.031 --> 00:02:24.571 [Jeff Reed] So excited to see that happen. 00:02:24.612 --> 00:02:36.558 [Jeff Reed] Some others stumbling in and, you know, some of you Twitchers, I never know if you're actually real or if you're bots or whatever, but hey, thanks for coming on here with this. 00:02:36.838 --> 00:02:42.123 [Jeff Reed] And then my friend here who actually says it's Nightbot, he's got a... 00:02:43.323 --> 00:02:46.243 [Jeff Reed] God settles in with a beverage. 00:02:46.344 --> 00:02:51.746 [Jeff Reed] I don't claim to be God, but I've got a discounted Coke Zero here. 00:02:51.865 --> 00:02:54.586 [Jeff Reed] So I'll settle in with you as well. 00:02:55.287 --> 00:02:56.346 [Jeff Reed] Enjoy what's going on. 00:02:56.467 --> 00:03:03.549 [Jeff Reed] Also good to see coming in peacemaking communities, San Diego coming in here, Judy. 00:03:04.250 --> 00:03:05.611 [Jeff Reed] Judy, it's good to see you. 00:03:05.731 --> 00:03:11.717 [Jeff Reed] Actually, this Peacemaking Communities, that URL handle, I don't think I know that one for you, Judy, but thanks for coming on. 00:03:12.357 --> 00:03:18.723 [Jeff Reed] And then of course, oh my gosh, we've got the chaplain Stacey Knapp passively turning on now. 00:03:18.763 --> 00:03:20.826 [Jeff Reed] Hopefully Stacey will be able to join us later on. 00:03:21.646 --> 00:03:24.710 [Jeff Reed] Phantom Methos as well, almost like supposed to. 00:03:24.730 --> 00:03:25.911 [Jeff Reed] I have reverb. 00:03:29.595 --> 00:03:30.556 [Jeff Reed] Do I still have reverb? 00:03:31.056 --> 00:03:33.518 [Jeff Reed] Let's hope for the best on that. 00:03:33.597 --> 00:03:34.597 [Jeff Reed] Great to have you back, Jeff. 00:03:34.637 --> 00:03:35.598 [Jeff Reed] Thank you, thank you. 00:03:35.618 --> 00:03:39.102 [Jeff Reed] I hope I don't have reverb. 00:03:39.261 --> 00:03:41.442 [Jeff Reed] Forge, good to see you again. 00:03:42.023 --> 00:03:43.003 [Jeff Reed] Great to be on. 00:03:44.664 --> 00:03:47.386 [Jeff Reed] Yeah, Phantom is just clarifying. 00:03:47.467 --> 00:03:48.067 [Jeff Reed] Actually, I don't... 00:03:49.295 --> 00:03:52.096 [Jeff Reed] I have had a physical conversation with you, not in person. 00:03:52.596 --> 00:03:59.141 [Jeff Reed] And at this point, you know, I think AI is good enough to impersonate a person, especially in the metaverse. 00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:03.282 [Jeff Reed] So I would actually question whether you are real or not. 00:04:03.323 --> 00:04:09.067 [Jeff Reed] Paul Strinebuck Bruick is real, so I can validate that. 00:04:09.166 --> 00:04:11.127 [Jeff Reed] And listen, we're just going to go on and on. 00:04:11.448 --> 00:04:12.087 [Jeff Reed] It's confusing. 00:04:12.127 --> 00:04:14.789 [Jeff Reed] We've got different platforms happening at the same time. 00:04:15.670 --> 00:04:19.590 [Jeff Reed] Hopefully you're seeing this and everything is good in the Twitch side. 00:04:19.631 --> 00:04:27.292 [Jeff Reed] I'm gonna assume the best and that that was just an old text coming in from Leighton, not anything I should be panicking about right now. 00:04:27.673 --> 00:04:28.073 [Jeff Reed] But it's good. 00:04:28.292 --> 00:04:30.453 [Jeff Reed] We're gonna move on and life's gonna be good. 00:04:30.673 --> 00:04:33.134 [Jeff Reed] Hey, so we've got this survey. 00:04:33.874 --> 00:04:38.736 [Jeff Reed] Some things have been happening in the TCD universe. 00:04:39.895 --> 00:04:41.215 [Jeff Reed] I started to say multiverse. 00:04:41.415 --> 00:04:44.676 [Jeff Reed] I'm a closet Dr. Doom at this moment. 00:04:45.336 --> 00:04:49.519 [Jeff Reed] Very excited, very, very excited about the road ahead with that. 00:04:49.558 --> 00:04:53.200 [Jeff Reed] But let me push this button and let's do this. 00:04:53.339 --> 00:05:02.143 [Jeff Reed] If you have not filled out the survey yet, the Church Digital's fall 2026 survey, let's do this. 00:05:02.163 --> 00:05:03.643 [Jeff Reed] You can go and zap that QR code. 00:05:03.663 --> 00:05:05.044 [Jeff Reed] It'll take you right to the webpage. 00:05:05.483 --> 00:05:09.505 [Jeff Reed] If you got your thumbs in, it's easier to type the church.digital slash survey. 00:05:11.865 --> 00:05:14.589 [Jeff Reed] 10 question survey, real quick, easy, simple. 00:05:14.890 --> 00:05:16.311 [Jeff Reed] It'll take you two minutes to fill out. 00:05:16.652 --> 00:05:21.017 [Jeff Reed] We had a lot of people and we're gonna go through the results here in a little bit. 00:05:21.657 --> 00:05:26.723 [Jeff Reed] There are a lot of things I'm excited about coming off this survey. 00:05:26.763 --> 00:05:28.925 [Jeff Reed] And so it's a mentee survey, we're gonna unpack it. 00:05:29.987 --> 00:05:34.932 [Jeff Reed] Some things I'm hanging out with you all as much as I have in the past month. 00:05:35.372 --> 00:05:36.712 [Jeff Reed] Some things that I expected. 00:05:36.732 --> 00:05:38.414 [Jeff Reed] A lot of things I didn't expect. 00:05:38.474 --> 00:05:39.875 [Jeff Reed] And so happy with the results. 00:05:40.296 --> 00:05:41.376 [Jeff Reed] Zap the QR code. 00:05:41.396 --> 00:05:43.618 [Jeff Reed] It'll be up on the screen as well. 00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:45.221 [Jeff Reed] But let's get into it. 00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:47.061 [Jeff Reed] So right off the bat... 00:05:47.742 --> 00:05:48.623 [Jeff Reed] Where are you from? 00:05:49.163 --> 00:05:52.483 [Jeff Reed] We had a whole bunch of people answer this question. 00:05:52.503 --> 00:05:57.684 [Jeff Reed] All you have to do is click on the map where you're from in case you're a flat earther. 00:05:58.125 --> 00:06:06.787 [Jeff Reed] This is a representation, not an accurate representation because it's flat, but it's actually like the globe on a flat surface. 00:06:07.126 --> 00:06:09.587 [Jeff Reed] And if you are a flat earther, don't tell me about it. 00:06:10.147 --> 00:06:25.836 [Jeff Reed] Hey, looking at this, we still got some people filling it out right now, but it looks like 34, 35, 36, 37 of the 60-some people that have filled out the survey are from the North American area. 00:06:25.957 --> 00:06:30.380 [Jeff Reed] We've roughly hypothesized just general conversations with people. 00:06:30.799 --> 00:06:37.923 [Jeff Reed] About 50% of our audience is United States-based, and we're gonna talk more about that. 00:06:38.304 --> 00:06:39.464 [Jeff Reed] What I love... 00:06:40.005 --> 00:06:47.167 [Jeff Reed] What I love in this is all the nice dots that are not, not in the United States. 00:06:47.669 --> 00:06:53.431 [Jeff Reed] We've got, of course, we've always been popular in Europe and so excited to see some friends in there. 00:06:54.451 --> 00:06:59.574 [Jeff Reed] We've been popular in South Africa and the Sub-Saharan South African area. 00:06:59.634 --> 00:07:00.894 [Jeff Reed] So excited to see that. 00:07:01.795 --> 00:07:04.997 [Jeff Reed] Oceania in Southern Asia. 00:07:06.116 --> 00:07:10.318 [Jeff Reed] Southeast Asia, excited to see that. 00:07:10.358 --> 00:07:11.699 [Jeff Reed] We got my friend over here. 00:07:11.739 --> 00:07:21.083 [Jeff Reed] I actually don't know who this dot is, but I just wanna give a shout out to the lone person in, I guess that's Brazil, right? 00:07:21.462 --> 00:07:23.723 [Jeff Reed] At that point, I should know that. 00:07:23.804 --> 00:07:29.026 [Jeff Reed] And so whoever you are in Brazil, feel free to make yourself known somehow. 00:07:29.886 --> 00:07:32.768 [Jeff Reed] It drives me nuts that we don't get the traction 00:07:33.827 --> 00:07:40.773 [Jeff Reed] in Latin and South America, just being in Miami, like that is, that's home. 00:07:41.575 --> 00:07:49.401 [Jeff Reed] And so I would love, I'd love to be working with some of my Latin and South American friends through digital missions down there. 00:07:49.461 --> 00:07:51.462 [Jeff Reed] So if you know anybody in the area, get the word out. 00:07:51.923 --> 00:08:00.609 [Jeff Reed] But we've got a pretty balanced mix here of United States and global representation here with the church digital. 00:08:01.842 --> 00:08:02.501 [Jeff Reed] Let's move on. 00:08:03.282 --> 00:08:05.364 [Jeff Reed] We've got 60 people responding to this. 00:08:05.723 --> 00:08:14.208 [Jeff Reed] I am a, in a very simple question, 50% of the people with the survey, I am a digital missionary. 00:08:16.229 --> 00:08:19.431 [Jeff Reed] 12% say I am a digital church staff. 00:08:19.570 --> 00:08:24.594 [Jeff Reed] 7% say I am a hybrid church staff doing physical and digital. 00:08:24.953 --> 00:08:27.654 [Jeff Reed] People like Judy would fit that bill. 00:08:27.674 --> 00:08:28.736 [Jeff Reed] 32% say other. 00:08:32.137 --> 00:08:34.358 [Jeff Reed] One in three does not fit this. 00:08:34.638 --> 00:08:37.840 [Jeff Reed] And so that's a much larger percentage than I was expecting. 00:08:39.181 --> 00:08:40.942 [Jeff Reed] That tells me I didn't ask the question right. 00:08:41.522 --> 00:08:42.903 [Jeff Reed] I wanna see in chat right now. 00:08:43.063 --> 00:08:48.465 [Jeff Reed] Do me a favor, just get in chat and like type in, if you're other, what are you? 00:08:49.306 --> 00:08:52.667 [Jeff Reed] Are you a physical missionary that just does digital? 00:08:52.807 --> 00:08:56.029 [Jeff Reed] Are you a volunteer? 00:08:56.170 --> 00:08:59.691 [Jeff Reed] Are you a content creator that doesn't consider yourself a missionary? 00:08:59.750 --> 00:09:00.731 [Jeff Reed] Like I just... 00:09:01.852 --> 00:09:08.836 [Jeff Reed] When one out of three people select not listed above, it makes you wonder, what are they, the people that are engaging? 00:09:08.856 --> 00:09:14.400 [Jeff Reed] And so I would love to see some chat engaging on that. 00:09:16.361 --> 00:09:18.903 [Jeff Reed] Yeah, Phantom comes up as well. 00:09:19.143 --> 00:09:21.384 [Jeff Reed] You'll have to start speaking Portuguese to get Brazil. 00:09:21.664 --> 00:09:23.086 [Jeff Reed] I do. 00:09:23.145 --> 00:09:25.646 [Jeff Reed] My Espanol is much better than my Portuguese. 00:09:25.866 --> 00:09:30.190 [Jeff Reed] And to be honest, I've been told my Spanish insults people. 00:09:30.309 --> 00:09:33.372 [Jeff Reed] So I'm going to just say I'm not really good at either of it. 00:09:33.492 --> 00:09:37.015 [Jeff Reed] But we're going to move on from that. 00:09:37.414 --> 00:09:39.576 [Jeff Reed] So 50% digital missionaries. 00:09:40.237 --> 00:09:40.997 [Jeff Reed] You know, it's interesting. 00:09:41.017 --> 00:09:51.961 [Jeff Reed] If you actually Google digital missionary, I looked the other day, we're like eight out of 10, really setting the bar on digital missionary work globally. 00:09:52.342 --> 00:09:55.182 [Jeff Reed] The Pope, the Catholic side, I'm friends over there. 00:09:55.522 --> 00:09:59.125 [Jeff Reed] We've had Jose on the stream before. 00:09:59.224 --> 00:10:04.626 [Jeff Reed] They are, Jose's not the name of the Pope, but the guy who's working with the Pope on digital missionaries. 00:10:04.646 --> 00:10:05.968 [Jeff Reed] The Vatican's very interested. 00:10:06.407 --> 00:10:08.932 [Jeff Reed] and exploring the idea of digital mission work. 00:10:09.011 --> 00:10:13.940 [Jeff Reed] And so like, you know, the Pope's interested in it, some others are starting to explore it. 00:10:13.980 --> 00:10:16.503 [Jeff Reed] But you, my friends, you are the trendsetters. 00:10:16.523 --> 00:10:21.872 [Jeff Reed] And we're going to talk a lot about the trendsetting nature of what we're experiencing here. 00:10:23.333 --> 00:10:27.796 [Jeff Reed] My primary ministry is in what platform? 00:10:27.875 --> 00:10:29.876 [Jeff Reed] My primary ministry is in what platform? 00:10:30.277 --> 00:10:31.417 [Jeff Reed] Did a word cloud here. 00:10:31.577 --> 00:10:34.118 [Jeff Reed] And of course, you know, some things jump out. 00:10:34.159 --> 00:10:35.119 [Jeff Reed] YouTube, of course. 00:10:35.180 --> 00:10:36.621 [Jeff Reed] God bless the YouTubers. 00:10:37.141 --> 00:10:40.542 [Jeff Reed] Discord, WhatsApp, Zoom, Twitch, Facebook. 00:10:41.044 --> 00:10:42.845 [Jeff Reed] We see a lot of Facebook on this. 00:10:43.953 --> 00:10:44.953 [Jeff Reed] I don't know if you know this. 00:10:45.354 --> 00:10:46.275 [Jeff Reed] I'm just gonna go and say it. 00:10:46.335 --> 00:10:51.115 [Jeff Reed] The Church Digital is on Facebook, facebook.com slash thechurchdigital. 00:10:51.455 --> 00:10:59.837 [Jeff Reed] I'm gonna say that up front because there are a lot of people that say things like, hey, you should spend more time on Facebook. 00:10:59.917 --> 00:11:02.159 [Jeff Reed] And I'm like, I'm on Facebook all the time. 00:11:02.739 --> 00:11:04.819 [Jeff Reed] Just nobody engages with us over there. 00:11:04.859 --> 00:11:12.201 [Jeff Reed] So if you're a Facebooker and you're not engaging with The Church Digital, facebook.com slash, you know what? 00:11:12.261 --> 00:11:13.461 [Jeff Reed] It's Be The Church Digital. 00:11:13.501 --> 00:11:16.282 [Jeff Reed] Facebook.com slash Be The Church Digital. 00:11:16.383 --> 00:11:21.765 [Jeff Reed] All our social media handles are at B-E, The Church Digital. 00:11:22.265 --> 00:11:30.472 [Jeff Reed] The surprise for me on this survey, and if your platform's not listed, or if you are a Facebooker and you want to claim that, go for it. 00:11:30.873 --> 00:11:33.755 [Jeff Reed] I'm holding back jokes comparing Facebook to flat earthers. 00:11:33.796 --> 00:11:36.178 [Jeff Reed] I would never do that publicly more than once. 00:11:36.798 --> 00:11:39.941 [Jeff Reed] But the thing that surprises me on this is Substack. 00:11:41.902 --> 00:11:46.505 [Jeff Reed] Substack, I know, is a growing platform here in the United States. 00:11:46.565 --> 00:11:48.645 [Jeff Reed] It's been around a long time. 00:11:48.826 --> 00:11:51.967 [Jeff Reed] It was on my radar a decade ago. 00:11:52.406 --> 00:11:59.590 [Jeff Reed] I know Life.Church here in America has invested a lot of their energy into that platform. 00:11:59.651 --> 00:12:05.712 [Jeff Reed] Recently, I have seen some bloggers move into that space as their platform of choice. 00:12:07.753 --> 00:12:22.359 [Jeff Reed] I would really be interested, somebody that's in digital missions utilizing Substack because it doesn't have, at least in my understanding of it, maybe I need to look again, but it doesn't have the external reach. 00:12:23.160 --> 00:12:26.525 [Jeff Reed] of, you know, some of the other things unless they've made changes to it. 00:12:26.585 --> 00:12:30.930 [Jeff Reed] So if you are doing, I'd love a story. 00:12:31.130 --> 00:12:36.016 [Jeff Reed] So feel free to reach out to me, find me in one of the communities and just tell me your story on that. 00:12:36.196 --> 00:12:39.760 [Jeff Reed] We'll talk more about some of that later because there's a lesson to be learned there. 00:12:40.701 --> 00:12:48.083 [Jeff Reed] And, you know, Squarespace, Kingdom Spaces, if you saw the conversation with Arno a couple weeks ago, Kingdom Spaces is this platform. 00:12:48.303 --> 00:12:50.044 [Jeff Reed] Rural, I love that. 00:12:50.064 --> 00:12:51.003 [Jeff Reed] Somebody said rural. 00:12:52.304 --> 00:12:55.204 [Jeff Reed] In-person, in-person getting a shout-out. 00:12:55.404 --> 00:12:56.825 [Jeff Reed] IRL getting a shout-out. 00:12:57.345 --> 00:12:59.226 [Jeff Reed] VRC getting a shout-out. 00:12:59.246 --> 00:13:00.925 [Jeff Reed] I kind of like that. 00:13:01.625 --> 00:13:01.925 [Jeff Reed] You know what? 00:13:01.945 --> 00:13:04.046 [Jeff Reed] I saw it before, but I don't see it now. 00:13:04.807 --> 00:13:06.366 [Jeff Reed] Somebody said face-to-face. 00:13:07.247 --> 00:13:10.229 [Jeff Reed] And I love that, even as digital ministry. 00:13:10.249 --> 00:13:20.413 [Jeff Reed] But, you know, and really the heart of digital ministry is getting that face-to-face conversation, getting face-to-face as quickly as possible, as healthily as possible. 00:13:20.733 --> 00:13:22.115 [Jeff Reed] Don't get lost in isolation. 00:13:22.154 --> 00:13:23.455 [Jeff Reed] We'll get more into isolation. 00:13:23.895 --> 00:13:27.617 [Jeff Reed] But have that face-to-face conversation with people. 00:13:28.357 --> 00:13:30.759 [Jeff Reed] All right, hey, we're going to keep clicking through here. 00:13:31.820 --> 00:13:35.691 [Jeff Reed] Over the past three months, how has your mental health been? 00:13:35.711 --> 00:13:35.811 [Jeff Reed] Good. 00:13:38.188 --> 00:13:39.669 [Jeff Reed] A lot of people feeling good. 00:13:39.808 --> 00:13:40.808 [Jeff Reed] I have felt steady. 00:13:41.348 --> 00:13:42.328 [Jeff Reed] Mostly okay. 00:13:42.690 --> 00:13:44.730 [Jeff Reed] I've had a few hard weeks, but not that bad. 00:13:45.431 --> 00:13:49.271 [Jeff Reed] 35% good, 37% mostly okay. 00:13:49.352 --> 00:13:52.153 [Jeff Reed] 20%, 19% mixed. 00:13:52.272 --> 00:13:54.594 [Jeff Reed] 4% hard, 4% very hard. 00:13:54.673 --> 00:13:55.913 [Jeff Reed] I've been in a dark place. 00:13:57.295 --> 00:13:58.234 [Jeff Reed] I've confessed that. 00:13:58.315 --> 00:13:58.734 [Jeff Reed] That's me. 00:13:59.075 --> 00:14:01.556 [Jeff Reed] I don't actually think I voted on the survey. 00:14:01.655 --> 00:14:02.856 [Jeff Reed] That would be bad. 00:14:02.876 --> 00:14:05.458 [Jeff Reed] But if I did, I would have selected very hard. 00:14:05.538 --> 00:14:06.498 [Jeff Reed] I'll openly say that. 00:14:07.199 --> 00:14:08.901 [Jeff Reed] And 2%, I'd rather not say. 00:14:09.662 --> 00:14:11.525 [Jeff Reed] And so it's a good mix. 00:14:11.644 --> 00:14:21.298 [Jeff Reed] To be honest, I was actually very encouraged that the majority of the people were above the line with good, mostly okay, and mixed. 00:14:22.119 --> 00:14:25.661 [Jeff Reed] I'm not discouraged because I don't think it's a discouraging thing. 00:14:25.681 --> 00:14:36.505 [Jeff Reed] I think it's just a fact of us as being digital missionaries that there is a bottom line and that there is isolation and that there is mental health issues that come in nature with what we're doing. 00:14:36.984 --> 00:14:40.645 [Jeff Reed] And it's an interesting line when you do look at it here. 00:14:40.806 --> 00:14:47.407 [Jeff Reed] I'm highlighting digital missionaries, which is the primary focus, not the only focus, but the primary focus of the community. 00:14:47.988 --> 00:14:49.368 [Jeff Reed] You see there's a lot of orange. 00:14:50.628 --> 00:14:51.750 [Jeff Reed] on mixed and below. 00:14:52.109 --> 00:15:09.718 [Jeff Reed] There's a lot above, but because of the isolation nature of who we are, there is an opportunity to be isolated, to struggle and to not have a community around you to go back with. 00:15:10.219 --> 00:15:18.843 [Jeff Reed] A digital staff person, a digital church staff person has their community of coworkers to easily fall back on. 00:15:19.563 --> 00:15:24.828 [Jeff Reed] A hybrid, a physical staff person has pretty much the same thing in place. 00:15:24.868 --> 00:15:28.834 [Jeff Reed] Now, you could not trust the community strong enough to do that. 00:15:28.874 --> 00:15:33.198 [Jeff Reed] There may be a stigma that you don't necessarily trust the people. 00:15:33.238 --> 00:15:33.439 [Jeff Reed] And I... 00:15:34.952 --> 00:15:36.213 [Jeff Reed] I understand that. 00:15:36.233 --> 00:15:42.096 [Jeff Reed] There's no judgment on that, but there are people in your ecosystem that you can fall back on. 00:15:43.096 --> 00:15:52.561 [Jeff Reed] The challenge with digital missionaries, I would suggest, is that there oftentimes is not that co-working community. 00:15:52.582 --> 00:15:59.205 [Jeff Reed] I don't mean co-working like Claude, although that was funny, but there's not that co-work community around there to fall back on. 00:16:00.125 --> 00:16:02.547 [Jeff Reed] Let's keep going as we're rolling through some of these stats. 00:16:02.907 --> 00:16:08.131 [Jeff Reed] By the way, if you have not voted, you can click the QR code right now that's on the screen. 00:16:08.211 --> 00:16:14.534 [Jeff Reed] And that's going to take you to a thing where you can go through, do the survey with us real quick. 00:16:14.954 --> 00:16:20.498 [Jeff Reed] We're going to keep the survey open, the polls open till midnight Eastern tonight. 00:16:20.518 --> 00:16:22.798 [Jeff Reed] That's the midnight Pacific, midnight Pacific tonight. 00:16:23.558 --> 00:16:27.101 [Jeff Reed] And then we're going to shut it down and call it done. 00:16:29.063 --> 00:16:31.144 [Jeff Reed] In the last six months, this was encouraging for me. 00:16:33.464 --> 00:16:39.388 [Jeff Reed] In the last six months, how many people have you discipled who did not already know Jesus? 00:16:39.528 --> 00:16:48.875 [Jeff Reed] 33%, one of every three people surveyed, said that they did not disciple anyone in the past six months who did not know Jesus. 00:16:50.282 --> 00:16:53.584 [Jeff Reed] And there's challenges with that, okay. 00:16:54.183 --> 00:16:59.425 [Jeff Reed] But what I love from this is the flip side of the equation. 00:16:59.445 --> 00:17:05.507 [Jeff Reed] 41% of one to two people over the past six months, 8%, three to five people, and six plus 18%. 00:17:05.807 --> 00:17:14.110 [Jeff Reed] In total, two of every three people taking the survey is currently discipling someone who does not know Jesus. 00:17:15.409 --> 00:17:17.371 [Jeff Reed] Like, y'all, that's the win. 00:17:17.992 --> 00:17:20.235 [Jeff Reed] That's the celebration point. 00:17:20.295 --> 00:17:21.978 [Jeff Reed] It's easy, and I'll confess. 00:17:22.077 --> 00:17:25.963 [Jeff Reed] Like, it was trying to find the perspective on this. 00:17:26.884 --> 00:17:32.791 [Jeff Reed] At first look, it's like, man, three or four people are only discipling one or two people digitally. 00:17:33.711 --> 00:17:35.833 [Jeff Reed] And it's like, forget that. 00:17:35.934 --> 00:17:39.056 [Jeff Reed] Like, we are discipling people digitally. 00:17:39.115 --> 00:17:43.318 [Jeff Reed] Two of every three people right now is actively discipling. 00:17:43.338 --> 00:17:45.641 [Jeff Reed] And that's something to be celebrating. 00:17:46.402 --> 00:17:59.851 [Jeff Reed] You all are doing a great job getting out there and using these digital tools to connect with people, engage with them through the community, and invite them into the process of following Jesus. 00:18:00.492 --> 00:18:03.012 [Jeff Reed] Are there opportunities to lean stronger into evangelism? 00:18:03.032 --> 00:18:03.693 [Jeff Reed] Of course. 00:18:04.373 --> 00:18:11.135 [Jeff Reed] And you all know that we're following the Spirit as we're doing those things, even moving forward. 00:18:11.255 --> 00:18:18.135 [Jeff Reed] So excited about this and what this is going to continue to mean for the church digital moving forward. 00:18:18.456 --> 00:18:21.896 [Jeff Reed] This is the type of question I think we're going to ask every three months, six months. 00:18:22.297 --> 00:18:24.217 [Jeff Reed] And I kind of want to see how these questions... 00:18:25.858 --> 00:18:41.336 [Jeff Reed] trend, like what that looks like for us as we continue to grow, be more sensitive to the spirit, as we continue to grow more confident, as we continue to develop more community and teamwork around us. 00:18:41.396 --> 00:18:43.278 [Jeff Reed] All right, moving on to the next thing. 00:18:44.019 --> 00:18:44.960 [Jeff Reed] This is a great question. 00:18:45.621 --> 00:18:50.344 [Jeff Reed] Choose the top three options that would most move your ministry forward. 00:18:50.744 --> 00:18:55.728 [Jeff Reed] Choose the top three options that would most move your ministry forward. 00:18:56.449 --> 00:19:00.193 [Jeff Reed] Right off the bat, right off top, funding is 22%. 00:19:00.753 --> 00:19:05.376 [Jeff Reed] A team, a team, this surprised me, a team is 23%. 00:19:07.867 --> 00:19:10.208 [Jeff Reed] The highest ranking was not money. 00:19:10.608 --> 00:19:11.750 [Jeff Reed] I would have put money. 00:19:11.809 --> 00:19:12.271 [Jeff Reed] It was money. 00:19:12.311 --> 00:19:12.911 [Jeff Reed] I have no money. 00:19:13.490 --> 00:19:16.753 [Jeff Reed] But if I had money, I would have bet it on money being the biggest issue. 00:19:17.534 --> 00:19:18.815 [Jeff Reed] A team is the biggest issue. 00:19:19.034 --> 00:19:22.038 [Jeff Reed] This is you voting. 00:19:22.097 --> 00:19:23.378 [Jeff Reed] We didn't rank the top three. 00:19:23.418 --> 00:19:24.659 [Jeff Reed] We just said, give us three. 00:19:25.280 --> 00:19:30.583 [Jeff Reed] And 23% of people said a team, whereas only 22% of you said funding. 00:19:31.384 --> 00:19:32.885 [Jeff Reed] That's really encouraging, because guess what? 00:19:32.925 --> 00:19:34.047 [Jeff Reed] Digitally, you don't need a lot. 00:19:34.847 --> 00:19:37.271 [Jeff Reed] Like, if you want to make it your full-time job, you need to pay for a salary. 00:19:37.331 --> 00:19:45.018 [Jeff Reed] But I can just tell you, because we deal with the church digital, we pay pennies to get the global exposure that we're getting through the church digital. 00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:47.902 [Jeff Reed] And so it's not money that's stopping it. 00:19:48.342 --> 00:19:50.003 [Jeff Reed] However, there is something on the team. 00:19:50.545 --> 00:19:52.965 [Jeff Reed] We'll come back to that here in a little bit. 00:19:53.106 --> 00:19:56.847 [Jeff Reed] 23% a team, 22% funding. 00:19:56.967 --> 00:19:58.807 [Jeff Reed] Tools is gonna be next with 17%. 00:19:58.927 --> 00:20:04.451 [Jeff Reed] 13% is training, 12% is a mentor, 9% accountability. 00:20:04.911 --> 00:20:08.351 [Jeff Reed] You know, accountability, it's funny, I struggle with the right word. 00:20:08.952 --> 00:20:11.032 [Jeff Reed] Accountability is what I say, but it's not what I mean. 00:20:11.753 --> 00:20:16.715 [Jeff Reed] And, you know, accountability hasn't registered much with the necessity. 00:20:16.735 --> 00:20:18.757 [Jeff Reed] And then 5% permission for leadership. 00:20:19.737 --> 00:20:22.797 [Jeff Reed] I love the fact that we're not waiting for leaders. 00:20:23.197 --> 00:20:25.059 [Jeff Reed] We're not waiting for our leadership to agree. 00:20:25.579 --> 00:20:34.322 [Jeff Reed] And to be honest, most of you being digital missionaries are excluded for some of those leadership conversations because you do it yourself. 00:20:36.282 --> 00:20:37.244 [Jeff Reed] I love the missional crowd. 00:20:37.264 --> 00:20:38.184 [Jeff Reed] This is so good. 00:20:39.003 --> 00:20:41.744 [Jeff Reed] We're going to get much more into this later down the road. 00:20:42.045 --> 00:20:42.786 [Jeff Reed] I'd be curious. 00:20:45.286 --> 00:21:04.019 [Jeff Reed] In the room here, and it's interesting, I will say this, as we're looking at the, this screen doesn't show it, some of the global implications, like the US, what they're looking for, versus global, international, what they're looking for, very different personas. 00:21:04.981 --> 00:21:10.465 [Jeff Reed] Very different personas, and we're gonna stumble through this here in a little bit. 00:21:10.804 --> 00:21:13.067 [Jeff Reed] All right, let's move on to what's next. 00:21:15.148 --> 00:21:21.934 [Jeff Reed] Has your church or organization's leadership ever limited what you can do digitally? 00:21:22.876 --> 00:21:27.360 [Jeff Reed] I'll be honest, this question, I got a little chip on my shoulder over here. 00:21:27.420 --> 00:21:28.360 [Jeff Reed] It's going that side. 00:21:28.942 --> 00:21:35.949 [Jeff Reed] And so, yeah, this may be a little bit of the Jeff Reed card, but I'm happy with this. 00:21:36.730 --> 00:21:37.331 [Jeff Reed] 14% said yes. 00:21:39.132 --> 00:21:39.472 [Jeff Reed] What is that? 00:21:39.572 --> 00:21:44.153 [Jeff Reed] One in seven, one in eight, eight would be 12%. 00:21:44.213 --> 00:21:47.135 [Jeff Reed] So somewhere in there, one in 7.5%, one in 7.5. 00:21:47.275 --> 00:21:49.735 [Jeff Reed] Yeah, call it done. 00:21:50.456 --> 00:21:52.777 [Jeff Reed] Not many of you have had that. 00:21:52.876 --> 00:21:53.898 [Jeff Reed] So God bless. 00:21:55.007 --> 00:22:00.469 [Jeff Reed] Seriously, 20% kinda, 66% said no. 00:22:01.070 --> 00:22:07.612 [Jeff Reed] And the strength towards digital missionary work, there's gonna be a lot more freedom to do things in digital. 00:22:08.012 --> 00:22:16.675 [Jeff Reed] You don't necessarily have the safety and security like a staff would, but that's some of the price of that. 00:22:16.715 --> 00:22:19.556 [Jeff Reed] There's a fun conversation around that as well. 00:22:19.757 --> 00:22:21.056 [Jeff Reed] All right, let's move on. 00:22:22.878 --> 00:22:23.637 [Jeff Reed] This is a good one. 00:22:25.235 --> 00:22:30.936 [Jeff Reed] Is what the church digital teaches shaped too much by American assumptions? 00:22:32.597 --> 00:22:37.880 [Jeff Reed] Is the church digital shaped too much by American assumptions? 00:22:39.559 --> 00:22:43.641 [Jeff Reed] Our language, our vocabulary, our examples, our coaching, our methodology. 00:22:45.043 --> 00:22:51.144 [Jeff Reed] Are we too much biased towards American viewpoints? 00:22:53.288 --> 00:22:55.409 [Jeff Reed] 46% said not really, thank you. 00:22:56.449 --> 00:23:00.291 [Jeff Reed] 54% said either sometimes or absolutely. 00:23:00.931 --> 00:23:03.512 [Jeff Reed] And so that would be the majority. 00:23:03.833 --> 00:23:09.755 [Jeff Reed] What's interesting is that the majority of people on this are actually US, they're not international. 00:23:10.074 --> 00:23:12.735 [Jeff Reed] So even the US people are saying, hey, you know what? 00:23:13.117 --> 00:23:15.978 [Jeff Reed] Yeah, you're probably a little too US-based sometimes. 00:23:16.885 --> 00:23:24.110 [Jeff Reed] And I was talking offline with somebody and they were like, well, that's a pretty large criticism. 00:23:24.311 --> 00:23:27.012 [Jeff Reed] I don't think it that way, honestly. 00:23:27.672 --> 00:23:34.918 [Jeff Reed] I've been the guy for years that's saying we need to get more multicultural, we need to get more national, we need to get more women involved. 00:23:35.918 --> 00:23:47.606 [Jeff Reed] Between Leighton, myself, and J-Mo, and Andy, there's a bunch of white bald men with beards, facial hair, walking around the church digital, so to speak. 00:23:47.806 --> 00:23:58.192 [Jeff Reed] And we need to bring in a new season of different vantage points, of different perspectives, of different learnings. 00:23:59.773 --> 00:24:05.335 [Jeff Reed] We were in one of our volunteer meetings this morning, and I was funny. 00:24:05.815 --> 00:24:15.880 [Jeff Reed] Literally, there was a conversation that came up between somebody in Pakistan and somebody in South Africa about how to handle relationships in digital space. 00:24:16.340 --> 00:24:21.581 [Jeff Reed] And both of them had their interesting context that they were bringing into the puzzle. 00:24:21.623 --> 00:24:27.065 [Jeff Reed] And I don't know that either one was right or wrong as much as it was in their context and what they're trying to do. 00:24:27.644 --> 00:24:28.585 [Jeff Reed] That was their opinion. 00:24:28.786 --> 00:24:31.186 [Jeff Reed] And the two opinions didn't necessarily see eye to eye. 00:24:31.766 --> 00:24:38.849 [Jeff Reed] And there was a fine conversation, but that's the beauty of what we need to bring into this. 00:24:39.789 --> 00:24:49.795 [Jeff Reed] As a global digital missions organization that's literally impacting people and empowering people and equipping people to do missions work globally. 00:24:51.496 --> 00:25:07.143 [Jeff Reed] If people in Pakistan, if people in Iran, if people in Nigeria and people in South Africa, people in Brazil do what I do, that's completely the wrong thing. 00:25:08.182 --> 00:25:09.364 [Jeff Reed] Because it's not going to work. 00:25:09.983 --> 00:25:11.384 [Jeff Reed] Because you're not America. 00:25:11.905 --> 00:25:14.846 [Jeff Reed] And to be honest, even the stuff that I do in America, I don't want to do. 00:25:15.286 --> 00:25:16.726 [Jeff Reed] But that's another thing. 00:25:17.086 --> 00:25:18.847 [Jeff Reed] So it's a problem. 00:25:19.867 --> 00:25:21.728 [Jeff Reed] And we need to fix it. 00:25:21.969 --> 00:25:24.871 [Jeff Reed] But we're gonna get to that here in a little bit. 00:25:25.771 --> 00:25:29.373 [Jeff Reed] Who do you talk to when digital ministry is discouraging? 00:25:29.414 --> 00:25:34.358 [Jeff Reed] Who do you talk to when digital ministry is discouraging? 00:25:34.458 --> 00:25:35.478 [Jeff Reed] 31% says nobody. 00:25:36.280 --> 00:25:38.360 [Jeff Reed] One in three is like, actually, you know what? 00:25:38.460 --> 00:25:40.023 [Jeff Reed] The percentages don't line up. 00:25:40.643 --> 00:25:42.423 [Jeff Reed] It doesn't equal 100, so I don't wanna say that. 00:25:42.885 --> 00:25:46.728 [Jeff Reed] But 31% says they don't talk to anybody. 00:25:48.081 --> 00:25:52.463 [Jeff Reed] 31% says that they talk to a spouse, a peer. 00:25:52.682 --> 00:25:54.782 [Jeff Reed] 43% will also talk to a peer. 00:25:55.362 --> 00:25:59.045 [Jeff Reed] 14% have some sort of a mentor that they talk to. 00:25:59.585 --> 00:26:08.967 [Jeff Reed] And 16%, less than one in five, falls back on the TCD community to talk to when digital ministry is discouraging. 00:26:09.815 --> 00:26:17.199 [Jeff Reed] So first off, if you are not discouraged doing digital ministry, God bless you. 00:26:17.440 --> 00:26:19.240 [Jeff Reed] You need to come tell me how to do that. 00:26:20.842 --> 00:26:26.985 [Jeff Reed] For some reason, it's the entrepreneurial sine wave curve. 00:26:27.005 --> 00:26:28.387 [Jeff Reed] You've heard me talk about this before. 00:26:29.266 --> 00:26:30.047 [Jeff Reed] I can do this forever. 00:26:30.067 --> 00:26:30.827 [Jeff Reed] I love what I'm doing. 00:26:30.887 --> 00:26:32.307 [Jeff Reed] I hate every second of what I'm doing. 00:26:32.387 --> 00:26:33.327 [Jeff Reed] I'm king of the world. 00:26:33.407 --> 00:26:36.608 [Jeff Reed] I'm not even worth the scum I scrape off my shoe. 00:26:37.028 --> 00:26:37.750 [Jeff Reed] I love my job. 00:26:37.769 --> 00:26:38.409 [Jeff Reed] I hate my job. 00:26:38.949 --> 00:26:39.690 [Jeff Reed] I live in this. 00:26:40.150 --> 00:26:42.610 [Jeff Reed] It's probably bipolar a little bit. 00:26:42.871 --> 00:26:46.192 [Jeff Reed] Honestly, I think I would have been diagnosed bipolar years ago. 00:26:46.731 --> 00:26:48.114 [Jeff Reed] I'm not going to do any harm to myself. 00:26:48.153 --> 00:26:49.195 [Jeff Reed] Relax. 00:26:49.295 --> 00:26:58.286 [Jeff Reed] But it's the reality of who I am on this up and down sine wave that I live with on a regular basis. 00:26:58.666 --> 00:27:04.534 [Jeff Reed] And so the idea of not connecting with people when it's discouraging, I, for one, I need that community around me. 00:27:05.413 --> 00:27:09.916 [Jeff Reed] And especially, you know, even in digital context, to fall back on that community. 00:27:10.416 --> 00:27:12.197 [Jeff Reed] With digital, you got to be intentional. 00:27:12.217 --> 00:27:13.797 [Jeff Reed] You got to go after it. 00:27:14.277 --> 00:27:16.900 [Jeff Reed] You can't necessarily expect it to come to you. 00:27:17.400 --> 00:27:23.704 [Jeff Reed] And that was some of the pain points that I learned even just over the past year as I spent so much time in the hospital. 00:27:25.164 --> 00:27:28.847 [Jeff Reed] I knew the digital community, the TCD community was there for me. 00:27:29.467 --> 00:27:37.851 [Jeff Reed] But to be honest, I walled myself off in depression and didn't make myself available for some of those conversations. 00:27:38.152 --> 00:27:39.313 [Jeff Reed] Conversation for a different day. 00:27:40.112 --> 00:27:47.038 [Jeff Reed] But having those people, whether it's a spouse, a peer, or even a mentor to fall back on. 00:27:47.657 --> 00:27:52.880 [Jeff Reed] There's gonna be a lot of conversations around mentorship, I think, here coming up in a little bit that we're gonna get into. 00:27:53.460 --> 00:27:55.463 [Jeff Reed] Let's move on. 00:27:55.503 --> 00:27:56.882 [Jeff Reed] What's the riskiest thing? 00:27:58.103 --> 00:28:00.387 [Jeff Reed] in about your ministry context? 00:28:00.427 --> 00:28:04.911 [Jeff Reed] What's the riskiest thing in your ministry context? 00:28:05.052 --> 00:28:06.853 [Jeff Reed] Not sure, unsure, don't know. 00:28:06.873 --> 00:28:11.257 [Jeff Reed] This is a tricky question for a lot. 00:28:11.418 --> 00:28:14.882 [Jeff Reed] Funding, being misunderstood, security, persecution. 00:28:16.103 --> 00:28:20.985 [Jeff Reed] By the way, this is, because you also tagged this with those that said they were international. 00:28:21.545 --> 00:28:28.887 [Jeff Reed] This is very much some of our friends in India who are like, yeah, I can go to jail. 00:28:30.268 --> 00:28:31.630 [Jeff Reed] My family can get taken away. 00:28:32.429 --> 00:28:33.650 [Jeff Reed] I'm worried about livelihood. 00:28:34.471 --> 00:28:44.635 [Jeff Reed] This is risk of personal health and well-being by some of the missional work they're doing, sharing Jesus and proclaiming the gospel in digital and physical spaces. 00:28:45.927 --> 00:29:01.983 [Jeff Reed] That's the reality of some of the church digital, which is why, once again, I'm like, hey, listen, anytime I have a conversation with Joy Jitt and some of our friends from India, it's a learning session because there's a lot that I don't know. 00:29:09.570 --> 00:29:24.336 [Jeff Reed] And it's unbelievable in the persecuted church how they're even willing to continue on doing the missions work they're doing digitally and physically at the risk of some of what they're facing. 00:29:24.456 --> 00:29:25.938 [Jeff Reed] Incredible stories right now. 00:29:26.778 --> 00:29:33.561 [Jeff Reed] And we, at least the American church, we have a lot to learn from some of those situations, from all those situations. 00:29:35.362 --> 00:29:35.922 [Jeff Reed] I did that one. 00:29:37.003 --> 00:29:37.543 [Jeff Reed] I did that one. 00:29:38.730 --> 00:29:41.070 [Jeff Reed] I wish the church digital would. 00:29:41.451 --> 00:29:43.632 [Jeff Reed] Okay, I wish the church digital would. 00:29:44.492 --> 00:29:47.773 [Jeff Reed] And so I just applied some AI to it to group it together. 00:29:48.213 --> 00:29:50.735 [Jeff Reed] But let's see what some of them are. 00:29:50.755 --> 00:29:51.414 [Jeff Reed] Prayer focus. 00:29:51.494 --> 00:30:07.141 [Jeff Reed] I wish the church digital would establish a culture of prayer, offer cross-cultural training for global outreach, share outreach prayer requests, understand more about our ministry, support us and many more to take digital missions full-blown. 00:30:08.552 --> 00:30:10.353 [Jeff Reed] I'm not so opinionated on what others should do. 00:30:10.393 --> 00:30:11.233 [Jeff Reed] Keep following the Lord. 00:30:11.253 --> 00:30:12.273 [Jeff Reed] Thank you. 00:30:12.413 --> 00:30:17.835 [Jeff Reed] I wish the Church Digital started building and investing in leadership in Southern Asia. 00:30:18.574 --> 00:30:22.956 [Jeff Reed] Organize regular sessions for each member to explain their vision. 00:30:23.476 --> 00:30:24.677 [Jeff Reed] Just keep on keeping on. 00:30:24.757 --> 00:30:25.177 [Jeff Reed] Love that. 00:30:26.677 --> 00:30:29.802 [Jeff Reed] It's a peaceful space, and I deeply appreciate this. 00:30:29.963 --> 00:30:33.329 [Jeff Reed] I've had excellent advices through TCD Brothers and Sisters. 00:30:33.769 --> 00:30:38.958 [Jeff Reed] Have more room for older saints that are tech savvy. 00:30:41.507 --> 00:30:42.989 [Jeff Reed] Yeah, I remember Steve telling me that. 00:30:43.168 --> 00:30:45.451 [Jeff Reed] Oh man, that just got deep. 00:30:46.211 --> 00:30:47.172 [Jeff Reed] I love you just the way you are. 00:30:47.193 --> 00:30:48.052 [Jeff Reed] Who sings that song? 00:30:49.594 --> 00:30:51.335 [Jeff Reed] Anyway, sorry, that was bad. 00:30:51.695 --> 00:30:53.557 [Jeff Reed] Okay, digital tools. 00:30:54.679 --> 00:30:56.820 [Jeff Reed] List tools and services have available. 00:30:56.880 --> 00:31:00.682 [Jeff Reed] Offer resources to locate the folks we are trying to reach digitally. 00:31:01.784 --> 00:31:07.130 [Jeff Reed] Wish the church digital help me in digital tools, comprehensive, relevant training and support. 00:31:07.612 --> 00:31:08.492 [Jeff Reed] I don't know, blank. 00:31:08.592 --> 00:31:13.739 [Jeff Reed] Talk a bit more about digital wellbeing and online safeguarding. 00:31:14.440 --> 00:31:15.722 [Jeff Reed] So that's good there. 00:31:15.762 --> 00:31:17.103 [Jeff Reed] Let's talk about social media. 00:31:17.643 --> 00:31:19.306 [Jeff Reed] Use Facebook more for announcements. 00:31:19.766 --> 00:31:23.030 [Jeff Reed] Facebook.com slash BeTheChurchDigital. 00:31:23.331 --> 00:31:26.253 [Jeff Reed] Facebook.com slash BeTheChurchDigital. 00:31:26.614 --> 00:31:27.936 [Jeff Reed] They said this last year. 00:31:28.476 --> 00:31:33.521 [Jeff Reed] I don't remember much from a year ago, but a year ago, somebody told me, you need to use Facebook more. 00:31:34.563 --> 00:31:37.527 [Jeff Reed] Facebook.com slash BeTheChurchDigital. 00:31:38.672 --> 00:31:42.175 [Jeff Reed] Share some specifics for how to use the platform for church leaders. 00:31:42.795 --> 00:31:47.518 [Jeff Reed] Example, YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, Insta. 00:31:47.717 --> 00:31:49.898 [Jeff Reed] What is enough effort versus not enough effort? 00:31:49.938 --> 00:31:52.019 [Jeff Reed] That's a hard question. 00:31:52.460 --> 00:31:52.860 [Jeff Reed] I like that. 00:31:53.240 --> 00:31:54.842 [Jeff Reed] Keep challenging church leaders. 00:31:55.661 --> 00:32:00.885 [Jeff Reed] Maybe engage in the irony to present in-person events with church leaders. 00:32:01.485 --> 00:32:04.867 [Jeff Reed] Yeah, I know some of our team, I've done that a lot. 00:32:05.186 --> 00:32:07.789 [Jeff Reed] Some of our team has picked up that in recent years. 00:32:09.208 --> 00:32:10.510 [Jeff Reed] Leighton, Jason. 00:32:10.530 --> 00:32:14.231 [Jeff Reed] Jason spoke the other day at Missio Nexus. 00:32:15.070 --> 00:32:16.771 [Jeff Reed] I'm not involved in digital church. 00:32:16.791 --> 00:32:20.211 [Jeff Reed] I mainly use WhatsApp to share the gospel, among other ways. 00:32:20.893 --> 00:32:22.253 [Jeff Reed] Yeah, I mean, that's, hey, welcome. 00:32:22.273 --> 00:32:23.793 [Jeff Reed] You're a digital missionary right in the middle of it. 00:32:24.153 --> 00:32:24.893 [Jeff Reed] Mentor support. 00:32:25.753 --> 00:32:27.153 [Jeff Reed] Reach to everyone for mentorship. 00:32:29.094 --> 00:32:43.840 [Jeff Reed] to have mentors to help digital missionaries how to implement their online ministry, inform teams, be more intentional with emotional or mentoring support for outpost leaders, train and support our team financially to run a sustainable digital mission. 00:32:44.880 --> 00:32:48.380 [Jeff Reed] We're growing a big vision and it's just outright help. 00:32:48.481 --> 00:32:49.141 [Jeff Reed] I love that. 00:32:49.161 --> 00:32:51.041 [Jeff Reed] It's just whatever, help, I'll take it. 00:32:52.101 --> 00:32:52.663 [Jeff Reed] Great there. 00:32:53.063 --> 00:32:53.762 [Jeff Reed] A couple more. 00:32:54.103 --> 00:32:55.483 [Jeff Reed] Collaborative opportunities. 00:32:55.884 --> 00:32:59.606 [Jeff Reed] Provide connection to help find people to work together. 00:32:59.706 --> 00:33:06.730 [Jeff Reed] Would collaborate with other Bible training ministries like CBS, not the TV network. 00:33:06.809 --> 00:33:10.452 [Jeff Reed] Have more opportunities for us to meet and greet each other. 00:33:10.952 --> 00:33:13.574 [Jeff Reed] Fellowship network, have fun, blah, blah, blah. 00:33:13.673 --> 00:33:14.373 [Jeff Reed] Great there. 00:33:17.228 --> 00:33:19.992 [Jeff Reed] What else do I want to highlight? 00:33:20.092 --> 00:33:21.052 [Jeff Reed] Community building. 00:33:21.353 --> 00:33:24.677 [Jeff Reed] Have more community hangouts among leaders and also TCD fam. 00:33:25.097 --> 00:33:29.244 [Jeff Reed] We have gotten away from some of the hangouts. 00:33:29.284 --> 00:33:30.445 [Jeff Reed] We need a director of fun. 00:33:31.166 --> 00:33:31.927 [Jeff Reed] I'll agree to that. 00:33:31.967 --> 00:33:32.967 [Jeff Reed] Training resources. 00:33:33.389 --> 00:33:34.510 [Jeff Reed] Launch many resources. 00:33:35.110 --> 00:33:35.672 [Jeff Reed] On what? 00:33:35.931 --> 00:33:36.572 [Jeff Reed] Just launch them. 00:33:37.112 --> 00:33:37.873 [Jeff Reed] I like the way you think. 00:33:37.932 --> 00:33:39.514 [Jeff Reed] No, we'll get more into that here in a little bit. 00:33:39.574 --> 00:33:44.277 [Jeff Reed] Offer more training as part of EDM and be more consistent. 00:33:44.699 --> 00:33:46.579 [Jeff Reed] Consistency has been hard over the past year. 00:33:47.181 --> 00:33:49.202 [Jeff Reed] I'll be honest on that. 00:33:49.643 --> 00:33:50.724 [Jeff Reed] Just a general response. 00:33:50.784 --> 00:33:51.704 [Jeff Reed] It's okay like this. 00:33:52.445 --> 00:33:53.585 [Jeff Reed] Reach more non-Christians. 00:33:54.106 --> 00:34:00.231 [Jeff Reed] Maybe you do, but provide state case studies, testimonies for church leaders to get on board with digital ministry. 00:34:01.092 --> 00:34:02.072 [Jeff Reed] Be in chat, mine. 00:34:04.655 --> 00:34:05.856 [Jeff Reed] Okay, great. 00:34:05.958 --> 00:34:09.581 [Jeff Reed] I don't get to be in chat mine, but I'm sure that made sense in context. 00:34:10.362 --> 00:34:13.646 [Jeff Reed] So this is, where are we in the presentation? 00:34:14.755 --> 00:34:15.335 [Jeff Reed] Yeah, that's it. 00:34:15.454 --> 00:34:16.456 [Jeff Reed] So that's the survey. 00:34:17.376 --> 00:34:21.438 [Jeff Reed] I'd love some, yeah, I'd love some initial results from you all. 00:34:21.518 --> 00:34:22.298 [Jeff Reed] Like, what are you feeling? 00:34:22.318 --> 00:34:23.219 [Jeff Reed] What's some thoughts on that? 00:34:23.699 --> 00:34:27.481 [Jeff Reed] I'll be honest, my eyes are not working real well. 00:34:28.762 --> 00:34:31.384 [Jeff Reed] Guys, I turned 40, my body fell apart. 00:34:31.523 --> 00:34:33.885 [Jeff Reed] I'm now 49 and it's like... 00:34:34.927 --> 00:34:35.306 [Jeff Reed] What? 00:34:36.248 --> 00:34:36.688 [Jeff Reed] What? 00:34:37.088 --> 00:34:38.168 [Jeff Reed] How do you read that? 00:34:38.228 --> 00:34:39.949 [Jeff Reed] And God bless this font. 00:34:39.969 --> 00:34:43.670 [Jeff Reed] This font must be like two that's on the screen right now. 00:34:44.070 --> 00:34:47.512 [Jeff Reed] I literally would just be blind clicking if I did. 00:34:47.572 --> 00:34:50.614 [Jeff Reed] So sorry, I'm not gonna put it up on the screen. 00:34:50.693 --> 00:34:52.795 [Jeff Reed] I wish there was a way I could make this. 00:34:53.916 --> 00:34:55.215 [Jeff Reed] Yep, nope, can't make it bigger. 00:34:56.476 --> 00:34:56.817 [Jeff Reed] I tried. 00:34:57.998 --> 00:34:58.257 [Jeff Reed] All right. 00:34:58.677 --> 00:34:59.958 [Jeff Reed] Hey, let's keep rolling through this. 00:35:00.018 --> 00:35:02.760 [Jeff Reed] We got places to go and people to see. 00:35:03.141 --> 00:35:06.342 [Jeff Reed] So here are some things that I took away from this. 00:35:08.222 --> 00:35:16.847 [Jeff Reed] 22% of you chose a team as what would move your ministry forward more than any other option. 00:35:17.708 --> 00:35:22.670 [Jeff Reed] Somebody said in the survey, provide connections and help find people to work together. 00:35:23.922 --> 00:35:24.663 [Jeff Reed] It's a great idea. 00:35:25.322 --> 00:35:31.387 [Jeff Reed] And so today, we, the Church Digital, we're launching Here I Am. 00:35:32.208 --> 00:35:34.130 [Jeff Reed] Whom shall I send and who will go with us? 00:35:34.170 --> 00:35:36.271 [Jeff Reed] Then I said, here I am, send me. 00:35:36.931 --> 00:35:37.612 [Jeff Reed] It's interesting. 00:35:37.693 --> 00:35:40.755 [Jeff Reed] I keep battling with myself, whether it's here I am or here am I. 00:35:40.775 --> 00:35:42.856 [Jeff Reed] It depends on the translation, whatever. 00:35:43.577 --> 00:35:45.378 [Jeff Reed] Here I am is what we're calling it. 00:35:45.759 --> 00:35:50.822 [Jeff Reed] The church.digital slash here, H-E-R-E, or you can zap the QR code. 00:35:51.103 --> 00:35:52.403 [Jeff Reed] Here's what we're doing with here. 00:35:53.385 --> 00:35:54.927 [Jeff Reed] Here I am. 00:35:55.086 --> 00:35:58.289 [Jeff Reed] It's a database. 00:35:59.471 --> 00:36:12.184 [Jeff Reed] If you have a skill set and you want to volunteer, you can write what your skill set is in the database and people can query the database when they're looking for a graphic artist or a community builder or... 00:36:13.045 --> 00:36:14.065 [Jeff Reed] a mod. 00:36:14.365 --> 00:36:16.565 [Jeff Reed] And so you can say you want to do the work. 00:36:16.766 --> 00:36:17.927 [Jeff Reed] You can say you want to mentor. 00:36:17.967 --> 00:36:18.987 [Jeff Reed] You can say you want to coach. 00:36:19.027 --> 00:36:20.827 [Jeff Reed] You can say there's different levels. 00:36:21.228 --> 00:36:24.168 [Jeff Reed] There's different time periods where you can do it short term and long term. 00:36:24.688 --> 00:36:30.471 [Jeff Reed] You know, it's meant, Here I Am is meant to connect the people with knowledge. 00:36:31.130 --> 00:36:36.512 [Jeff Reed] with the people who are on their own doing things. 00:36:36.532 --> 00:36:41.333 [Jeff Reed] So you're burning it, doing all you can, and you really are horrible at graphics. 00:36:41.753 --> 00:36:46.436 [Jeff Reed] Well, the people who are good at graphics, man, I'd love to create something simple for somebody. 00:36:47.096 --> 00:36:48.076 [Jeff Reed] Let's make that connection. 00:36:48.115 --> 00:36:49.757 [Jeff Reed] Let's facilitate that conversation. 00:36:50.277 --> 00:36:59.440 [Jeff Reed] And whether that's, once again, doing the work, or whether it's mentoring, or whether it's coaching, or maybe you just wanna flat out and join the ministry of what they're doing and be part of the team. 00:37:01.063 --> 00:37:03.945 [Jeff Reed] The Church Digital, we're just facilitating the conversation. 00:37:04.067 --> 00:37:09.670 [Jeff Reed] And so if you go to thechurch.digital slash here, H-E-R-E, here's what you're gonna find. 00:37:10.532 --> 00:37:13.534 [Jeff Reed] It's a database where you can enter information. 00:37:13.974 --> 00:37:15.135 [Jeff Reed] It's a skills database. 00:37:15.315 --> 00:37:17.297 [Jeff Reed] So if you have a skill, 00:37:18.304 --> 00:37:32.940 [Jeff Reed] put it in the database, click on it, select it, 90 some fields you can select through, check off the ones that are relevant to you, you can post websites, you can post your LinkedIn, you can post your Instagram, you can post anything you want, all that information, your email address. 00:37:33.762 --> 00:37:34.661 [Jeff Reed] where you're located. 00:37:35.101 --> 00:37:45.664 [Jeff Reed] If you're in a hyper-secure area where you don't want your nationality or even your name posted, there's ways that you can do first name, last initial. 00:37:46.125 --> 00:37:50.385 [Jeff Reed] Your name can be private, or your location can be private where it's not public. 00:37:50.846 --> 00:37:54.927 [Jeff Reed] Tried to make it secure in that situation for some of our international friends. 00:37:55.567 --> 00:38:00.668 [Jeff Reed] We are at not, at this point, we are not receiving queries. 00:38:01.289 --> 00:38:07.869 [Jeff Reed] So if you're like, man, I really want somebody to teach me, not yet, not yet. 00:38:08.590 --> 00:38:10.931 [Jeff Reed] Let's get the data, let's get data in. 00:38:11.592 --> 00:38:23.574 [Jeff Reed] And so effective right now, as long as my AI did what it was supposed to, right now, the database is public and ready to go at the church.digital slash here. 00:38:24.315 --> 00:38:26.016 [Jeff Reed] probably somewhere around November 1st. 00:38:26.056 --> 00:38:32.998 [Jeff Reed] We'll open it up where people can query the database, but we've got to build reports and searches and all of that. 00:38:33.079 --> 00:38:36.500 [Jeff Reed] And if you know database, you got to get data in to be able to do that. 00:38:36.599 --> 00:38:50.126 [Jeff Reed] So right now, if you're interested in giving your talents to digital missionaries, to digital churches, to hybrid churches, to physical churches in America or internationally or whatever context, 00:38:51.420 --> 00:38:52.021 [Jeff Reed] Here I am. 00:38:52.141 --> 00:38:54.402 [Jeff Reed] Go ahead and zap that QR code. 00:38:54.443 --> 00:38:55.023 [Jeff Reed] Number one. 00:38:55.844 --> 00:38:57.326 [Jeff Reed] Number two, here's what I heard. 00:38:58.347 --> 00:39:02.431 [Jeff Reed] 13% talk to a mentor when digital ministry is discouraging. 00:39:02.471 --> 00:39:04.112 [Jeff Reed] I'll be honest. 00:39:04.592 --> 00:39:05.052 [Jeff Reed] That's me. 00:39:05.753 --> 00:39:07.835 [Jeff Reed] I fall back on the people who mentored me. 00:39:08.697 --> 00:39:12.079 [Jeff Reed] David Parks, especially over the past year, is my youth pastor. 00:39:12.780 --> 00:39:13.621 [Jeff Reed] Actually, no, he wasn't. 00:39:14.262 --> 00:39:15.123 [Jeff Reed] He was my first boss. 00:39:15.762 --> 00:39:16.262 [Jeff Reed] No, he wasn't. 00:39:16.704 --> 00:39:17.844 [Jeff Reed] Yeah, I'll call him my first boss. 00:39:18.065 --> 00:39:19.266 [Jeff Reed] He was my first ministry boss. 00:39:19.965 --> 00:39:22.608 [Jeff Reed] And he's one of my go-to guys. 00:39:22.628 --> 00:39:25.269 [Jeff Reed] The guy doesn't understand much at all about digital. 00:39:25.289 --> 00:39:27.771 [Jeff Reed] Dave, I love you if you're watching, but you know it's true. 00:39:29.512 --> 00:39:36.697 [Jeff Reed] That being said, he's always been one of these guys that I go to when I need somebody to talk through. 00:39:37.858 --> 00:39:42.681 [Jeff Reed] And so secondly, we are launching one-to-one. 00:39:43.672 --> 00:39:47.474 [Jeff Reed] I tell you, some of my open offices that I've done recently have been really good. 00:39:47.514 --> 00:39:55.159 [Jeff Reed] Like I'll go into an open office and I'll have six, eight people in there from like three or four continents engaging and talking. 00:39:55.260 --> 00:39:56.521 [Jeff Reed] And it's incredible. 00:39:57.161 --> 00:40:00.463 [Jeff Reed] Some of the open offices, to be honest, like it's crickets. 00:40:00.623 --> 00:40:01.324 [Jeff Reed] Nobody shows up. 00:40:02.445 --> 00:40:08.829 [Jeff Reed] And in my mind, I'm like, everybody I know should have one of these opportunities to sit. 00:40:08.949 --> 00:40:12.132 [Jeff Reed] Once again, the goal of digital ministry is to sit down with somebody. 00:40:13.032 --> 00:40:16.815 [Jeff Reed] one-to-one, face-to-face, and have a conversation. 00:40:17.414 --> 00:40:21.135 [Jeff Reed] A, to be seen, B, to be heard, and C, to be known. 00:40:21.576 --> 00:40:24.518 [Jeff Reed] And we, the Church Digital, we want to do that. 00:40:24.918 --> 00:40:37.123 [Jeff Reed] And so I'm asking all of the church leaders, the senior leadership team, the outpost leaders, the global volunteers, to make time available on the calendar. 00:40:37.882 --> 00:40:42.945 [Jeff Reed] to sit down one-on-one with all of you individually through The Church Digital. 00:40:43.304 --> 00:40:51.706 [Jeff Reed] And so what you can do right now is you can zap that QR code and it's at listen, L-I-S-T-E-N, listen.thechurch.digital. 00:40:52.847 --> 00:40:57.068 [Jeff Reed] And so you can go there and you can select a time to sit down with one of us. 00:40:57.148 --> 00:40:58.588 [Jeff Reed] I'm still doing meetings as well. 00:40:58.608 --> 00:41:00.190 [Jeff Reed] I'm not gonna do town hall, excuse me. 00:41:00.570 --> 00:41:03.170 [Jeff Reed] I'm not gonna do open offices for the remainder of the year. 00:41:03.610 --> 00:41:06.231 [Jeff Reed] And instead I wanna invest all my time into this. 00:41:06.351 --> 00:41:06.612 [Jeff Reed] Why? 00:41:09.210 --> 00:41:21.077 [Jeff Reed] As we are currently designing, equipping a mobilization for this next season of The Church Digital, a lot of the questions that are coming up are, well, what do people really need? 00:41:21.197 --> 00:41:33.686 [Jeff Reed] The survey was huge in helping give us the 40,000-foot level, but I really want to drill in with somebody and find out, okay, where's the weak point with your team? 00:41:34.547 --> 00:41:35.887 [Jeff Reed] And then how can we... 00:41:37.088 --> 00:41:58.563 [Jeff Reed] fine-tune some tools and assets so they can better reach those people like we have to be able to be able to ask some intimate questions that you're not just going to get from a from a survey or a poll we are recording these we're not blocking names we're not tracking that information but as we're trying to build out 00:41:59.882 --> 00:42:08.867 [Jeff Reed] tools to effectively empower digital missions for the generations moving forward, we really want to sit down in a one-to-one conversation with many, if not all of you. 00:42:09.507 --> 00:42:18.514 [Jeff Reed] And so this is our step towards doing that at thechurch.digital, actually listen.thechurch.digital, or the QR code. 00:42:18.594 --> 00:42:20.454 [Jeff Reed] Jason is really passionate about this. 00:42:21.394 --> 00:42:43.443 [Jeff Reed] uh and nash especially as they're trying to equip uh and create some of those equipping tools i know he's got a video he wanted to share on that he is he's in africa right now on a missions trip what a look from jason but um but hopefully i'm going to click on this and it's going to play i just realized i didn't check the audio let me uh turn this up and let's see if this works 00:44:25.411 --> 00:44:25.731 [Jeff Reed] Awesome. 00:44:25.771 --> 00:44:26.432 [Jeff Reed] Thank you for that. 00:44:26.652 --> 00:44:30.496 [Jeff Reed] And Jason is now looping over and over again. 00:44:30.615 --> 00:44:31.936 [Jeff Reed] So thank you for that, J-Mo. 00:44:32.737 --> 00:44:36.400 [Jeff Reed] And we'll continue to be praying for him in Africa. 00:44:36.440 --> 00:44:37.681 [Jeff Reed] He's in Africa for a stretch. 00:44:37.701 --> 00:44:38.601 [Jeff Reed] Then he comes back here. 00:44:39.103 --> 00:44:40.443 [Jeff Reed] Then he's in New Zealand. 00:44:40.503 --> 00:44:43.365 [Jeff Reed] And so he's been kind of on a world tour over the past month. 00:44:44.306 --> 00:44:52.188 [Jeff Reed] But we do want to listen, to pray, to know how we can pray, and listen to help. 00:44:52.228 --> 00:44:53.668 [Jeff Reed] Listen, I don't want to build it. 00:44:53.688 --> 00:44:57.688 [Jeff Reed] In my life, I have built a lot of things. 00:44:57.768 --> 00:44:58.909 [Jeff Reed] Many of them are very helpful. 00:44:59.250 --> 00:45:00.429 [Jeff Reed] A lot of them were not helpful. 00:45:01.190 --> 00:45:03.990 [Jeff Reed] And maybe it's because I'm 50. 00:45:04.070 --> 00:45:07.050 [Jeff Reed] I don't want to build anything unless it's helpful. 00:45:07.210 --> 00:45:09.431 [Jeff Reed] So help me in this season. 00:45:10.311 --> 00:45:11.873 [Jeff Reed] Figure out how I can help you. 00:45:11.913 --> 00:45:12.532 [Jeff Reed] Help me help you. 00:45:12.552 --> 00:45:13.172 [Jeff Reed] Help me help you. 00:45:13.913 --> 00:45:15.173 [Jeff Reed] And so that's what I'm looking at here. 00:45:15.735 --> 00:45:21.059 [Jeff Reed] All right, so 33%, one out of three of you don't talk to nobody. 00:45:21.438 --> 00:45:26.222 [Jeff Reed] 33% talk to nobody when digital ministry is discouraging. 00:45:26.302 --> 00:45:32.367 [Jeff Reed] One of you even said in the survey to establish a culture of prayer. 00:45:33.460 --> 00:45:36.481 [Jeff Reed] And so we have built Scattered. 00:45:36.601 --> 00:45:39.081 [Jeff Reed] This is the thing I may be the most excited about. 00:45:40.061 --> 00:45:56.106 [Jeff Reed] So Scattered, as digital missionaries, as digital ministry leaders, as digital pastors, as digital church people, even as just a global audience of who I'm talking to, we're not alone. 00:45:56.146 --> 00:45:57.626 [Jeff Reed] We're combined through the body of Christ. 00:45:57.686 --> 00:46:00.427 [Jeff Reed] We're just scattered around the planet. 00:46:01.427 --> 00:46:10.753 [Jeff Reed] And this year, for the remaining October, November, and some of December, I want us to go through 1 Peter together. 00:46:11.454 --> 00:46:12.574 [Jeff Reed] It's a daily devotional. 00:46:13.474 --> 00:46:15.795 [Jeff Reed] It's an optional asynchronous Bible study. 00:46:16.376 --> 00:46:22.280 [Jeff Reed] It is an optional real-time Bible study that's going to be hosted on Twitch as well. 00:46:23.320 --> 00:46:28.286 [Jeff Reed] But the goal is every morning you're going to receive a passage of 1 Peter to read. 00:46:29.047 --> 00:46:34.554 [Jeff Reed] If you're in this study, it'll be sent to you in a myriad of ways to go through. 00:46:34.574 --> 00:46:38.378 [Jeff Reed] It's the same passage, devotional passage, Monday through Saturday. 00:46:39.579 --> 00:46:47.985 [Jeff Reed] Email, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, like every platform possible. 00:46:48.045 --> 00:46:51.528 [Jeff Reed] I've been working very hard to get all the platforms to work. 00:46:51.548 --> 00:47:01.195 [Jeff Reed] But at the end of the day, we're going to be sending all of this to read together and then to take notes via the platform or via the software or via the web browser. 00:47:02.496 --> 00:47:10.599 [Jeff Reed] thechurch.digital slash scattered, and you can zap that QR code free, of course, but you can zap that QR code if you're interested. 00:47:10.978 --> 00:47:11.860 [Jeff Reed] Now, why scattered? 00:47:12.059 --> 00:47:14.400 [Jeff Reed] Or excuse me, why 1 Peter? 00:47:14.539 --> 00:47:24.242 [Jeff Reed] Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ to the elect who are exiles of the dispersion throughout Pontus, Galatia, Asia, Bithynia, Chosen. 00:47:25.760 --> 00:47:26.860 [Jeff Reed] Here's what's interesting. 00:47:27.240 --> 00:47:30.501 [Jeff Reed] And actually, we were going back and forth between acts. 00:47:31.262 --> 00:47:32.963 [Jeff Reed] Leighton really wanted to do acts. 00:47:33.083 --> 00:47:34.322 [Jeff Reed] Actually, Leighton, you want to come on? 00:47:35.804 --> 00:47:36.844 [Jeff Reed] Let's go ahead and get Leighton on. 00:47:38.264 --> 00:47:40.806 [Jeff Reed] I'm going to push the magic button here and hopefully this is going to work. 00:47:40.865 --> 00:47:43.367 [Jeff Reed] I should have brought you on earlier, my friend. 00:47:43.726 --> 00:47:44.608 [Jeff Reed] I've been doing a lot of talking. 00:47:44.628 --> 00:47:45.407 [Jeff Reed] Hey, Leighton, how's it going? 00:47:47.380 --> 00:47:48.221 [Jeff Reed] Doing well. 00:47:48.340 --> 00:47:49.282 [Jeff Reed] Okay, I got you on. 00:47:50.364 --> 00:47:57.572 [Jeff Reed] So we was telling them, Leighton wanted to do Acts, all 24 chapters of it or whatever it is. 00:47:57.592 --> 00:47:58.653 [Jeff Reed] And Acts is a great story. 00:47:59.494 --> 00:48:01.597 [Jeff Reed] Great in our context, especially. 00:48:01.637 --> 00:48:02.659 [Jeff Reed] What is the early church? 00:48:03.059 --> 00:48:03.840 [Jeff Reed] What is the church? 00:48:03.860 --> 00:48:05.702 [Jeff Reed] And how does that parallel in? 00:48:07.554 --> 00:48:23.577 [Jeff Reed] But what I love about 1 Peter is it's the story of those Christians that after Saul was part of the murder, the Christians dispersed and they spread the gospel as they went. 00:48:24.278 --> 00:48:31.079 [Jeff Reed] And some of those Christians landed in these house churches that were away from the established churches. 00:48:32.197 --> 00:48:40.563 [Jeff Reed] And then Peter is now sending a note out to these people, not telling them as they're away, come back in to the fold. 00:48:40.744 --> 00:48:42.125 [Jeff Reed] It's safe to come back. 00:48:42.804 --> 00:48:45.927 [Jeff Reed] Like what you're doing is nice over there, but it's not the real thing. 00:48:45.947 --> 00:48:48.969 [Jeff Reed] You need to be part of the real church back here where we are. 00:48:49.550 --> 00:48:57.536 [Jeff Reed] What Peter actually says is, hey, you may be exiled, you may be scattered, but don't forget what you are is chosen. 00:48:59.358 --> 00:49:02.338 [Jeff Reed] who you are, you are still part of the body of Christ. 00:49:02.378 --> 00:49:06.760 [Jeff Reed] You are still doing valid ministry in the context of what you're doing. 00:49:07.581 --> 00:49:18.244 [Jeff Reed] And I'll tell you, from a guy who's doing 25 plus years of digital ministry, hearing that message biblically, that resonated with me in a big way. 00:49:18.864 --> 00:49:25.987 [Jeff Reed] As we're doing ministry in these unique places that most established church doesn't even know how to spell. 00:49:27.550 --> 00:49:29.271 [Jeff Reed] What we're doing is still valid. 00:49:30.112 --> 00:49:35.777 [Jeff Reed] And God is not calling us to come back in to be part of the established church where it's safe. 00:49:36.556 --> 00:49:47.385 [Jeff Reed] God is calling us to stay out there, to stay scattered, to stay exiled into our spaces, and to be the light of Christ in those areas. 00:49:47.706 --> 00:49:48.086 [Jeff Reed] I don't know. 00:49:48.786 --> 00:49:53.411 [Jeff Reed] Leighton, does any of this resonate with you, or what are you excited about here as we look at Scattered? 00:50:33.324 --> 00:50:33.431 [Jeff Reed] Hmm. 00:52:09.398 --> 00:52:11.399 [Jeff Reed] Yeah, and that's our hope in that. 00:52:11.460 --> 00:52:14.802 [Jeff Reed] We are leaning into the first one in Twitch. 00:52:15.382 --> 00:52:15.943 [Jeff Reed] I'm trying to see. 00:52:15.962 --> 00:52:17.625 [Jeff Reed] Yeah, that's the last slide. 00:52:17.664 --> 00:52:19.386 [Jeff Reed] The first one is going to be Twitch. 00:52:20.167 --> 00:52:22.349 [Jeff Reed] Really, it's not about Twitch. 00:52:22.828 --> 00:52:27.412 [Jeff Reed] We're using that Twitch gathering to really just have a conversation about the passage and start to... 00:52:28.033 --> 00:52:30.475 [Jeff Reed] generate some ideas for the devotional and other things. 00:52:30.555 --> 00:52:45.304 [Jeff Reed] But we're creating online leader guides if you want to take your team or a group of people through the study at the same time, if they want to sign up for the devotional as well. 00:52:45.623 --> 00:52:50.207 [Jeff Reed] As we are creating the Bible study with Leighton and some of the Twitch friends, 00:52:51.006 --> 00:52:56.030 [Jeff Reed] I would fully expect, especially in future seasons, to do other scattered versions. 00:52:56.310 --> 00:53:03.055 [Jeff Reed] I know Leighton's talking about doing the Acts next after the new year, and there's other books that could come up. 00:53:03.076 --> 00:53:05.877 [Jeff Reed] And I jokingly made a joke at some point. 00:53:05.898 --> 00:53:19.648 [Jeff Reed] I was like, man, wouldn't it be great if we did like the digital ministry study Bible, just kind of created off all these notes that we were generating, going through the Bible together and wrestling with the different context of digital based off of looking at Scripture. 00:53:20.488 --> 00:53:26.932 [Jeff Reed] And so the hope is for us to lean into this context with Twitch. 00:53:26.993 --> 00:53:31.076 [Jeff Reed] But at the same time, once again, it's not about the live on Twitch. 00:53:31.195 --> 00:53:40.141 [Jeff Reed] It's much more about getting into the scripture and maybe even empowering you to do one of those other scatterings. 00:53:40.842 --> 00:53:43.224 [Jeff Reed] Do we want to call... That just kind of fell off my tongue. 00:53:43.444 --> 00:53:44.345 [Jeff Reed] Is that what we want to call that? 00:53:44.805 --> 00:53:45.805 [Jeff Reed] The Twitch scattering? 00:53:45.826 --> 00:53:46.787 [Jeff Reed] I... 00:53:49.484 --> 00:53:50.140 [Jeff Reed] Yeah, that's... 00:54:03.773 --> 00:54:05.894 [Jeff Reed] Yeah, we're gonna roll with it. 00:54:06.373 --> 00:54:09.055 [Jeff Reed] And I honestly did not plan that in advance. 00:54:09.715 --> 00:54:10.194 [Jeff Reed] So that's good. 00:54:10.454 --> 00:54:13.216 [Jeff Reed] All right, hey, and so Layton's gonna be involved. 00:54:13.275 --> 00:54:14.315 [Jeff Reed] I'm gonna be involved. 00:54:14.475 --> 00:54:15.957 [Jeff Reed] Ian Kirk, a lot of you know Ian. 00:54:16.056 --> 00:54:18.898 [Jeff Reed] Ian's gonna be involved as well with this first round. 00:54:19.078 --> 00:54:27.720 [Jeff Reed] If you wanna do a scattering, if you wanna do a group going through 1 Peter in a different context, see me. 00:54:28.140 --> 00:54:31.761 [Jeff Reed] If you wanna dig into another book as well, see me. 00:54:31.860 --> 00:54:33.261 [Jeff Reed] I'm more than happy 00:54:34.042 --> 00:54:35.323 [Jeff Reed] to put something together for you. 00:54:35.404 --> 00:54:40.628 [Jeff Reed] But we are building this in such a way that it's not a gathering, it's a scattering. 00:54:40.668 --> 00:54:47.076 [Jeff Reed] And with that, being able to adjust to the different things there as well. 00:54:47.256 --> 00:54:48.256 [Jeff Reed] And so, yeah. 00:55:10.015 --> 00:55:10.095 [Jeff Reed] Yep. 00:55:10.114 --> 00:55:10.194 [Jeff Reed] Yep. 00:55:10.215 --> 00:55:10.295 [Jeff Reed] Yep. 00:55:46.591 --> 00:55:47.190 [Jeff Reed] Yeah, love that. 00:55:47.251 --> 00:55:47.610 [Jeff Reed] Thank you. 00:55:48.150 --> 00:55:49.671 [Jeff Reed] Thank you, Leighton, for that. 00:55:49.992 --> 00:55:52.372 [Jeff Reed] Man, he's so much better at talking about this stuff than I am. 00:55:53.273 --> 00:55:59.173 [Jeff Reed] All right, and then coming off of that, let's see, what else is left? 00:55:59.694 --> 00:56:02.435 [Jeff Reed] You told us, oh, that's what's left. 00:56:02.614 --> 00:56:12.817 [Jeff Reed] Coupled with this, 38% roughly put tools in the top three for moving their ministry forward. 00:56:13.697 --> 00:56:18.159 [Jeff Reed] One even said, list tools and services that the Church Digital has available. 00:56:18.460 --> 00:56:32.168 [Jeff Reed] And so I'm happy to announce, you know, we said that the Daily Devotional is going to be delivered and listed off all the different channels, like the WhatsApp, Discord. 00:56:35.251 --> 00:56:40.235 [Jeff Reed] Facebook, Instagram, kind of Slack, ratted off a bunch of things there. 00:56:41.238 --> 00:56:49.127 [Jeff Reed] And so the delivery mechanism that's actually going to be delivering the devotional is Karen. 00:56:49.867 --> 00:56:50.247 [Jeff Reed] Karen! 00:56:51.890 --> 00:56:53.671 [Jeff Reed] I'm hopefully pronouncing that correctly. 00:56:53.871 --> 00:57:00.094 [Jeff Reed] The scariest thing I've done over the past hour was pronouncing that word, and I'm hoping I did it right. 00:57:00.134 --> 00:57:00.573 [Jeff Reed] Karen. 00:57:01.573 --> 00:57:02.614 [Jeff Reed] Okay, so what's Karen? 00:57:02.694 --> 00:57:07.417 [Jeff Reed] Karen is the Church Digital's artificial intelligence, or at least the public-facing part. 00:57:07.856 --> 00:57:08.578 [Jeff Reed] you guys are seeing. 00:57:08.618 --> 00:57:09.478 [Jeff Reed] But let's back up. 00:57:09.618 --> 00:57:11.078 [Jeff Reed] What is a cairn? 00:57:11.498 --> 00:57:14.201 [Jeff Reed] Cairn, it's a Gaelic term, Scottish. 00:57:14.740 --> 00:57:28.569 [Jeff Reed] It's a stack of stones that people who went first on a trail leave so that whoever comes next on the trail can find where they're going, can see the path. 00:57:28.729 --> 00:57:35.372 [Jeff Reed] And so the idea is that we as explorers of digital missionary, our digital missions work, are contributing 00:57:35.932 --> 00:57:48.051 [Jeff Reed] to this artificial intelligence, to this AI, Karen, who then has the knowledge base to make it available for you and the generations that's behind. 00:57:48.730 --> 00:57:52.136 [Jeff Reed] So a couple things that I just want to say on this. 00:57:53.717 --> 00:57:56.800 [Jeff Reed] One, the Church Digital, we are an AI-friendly organization. 00:57:57.479 --> 00:58:01.462 [Jeff Reed] And I don't necessarily want to apologize for that. 00:58:01.542 --> 00:58:03.503 [Jeff Reed] I'm pro-AI. 00:58:03.684 --> 00:58:08.646 [Jeff Reed] I know that in the church space, many people are pro-AI, many people are anti-AI. 00:58:09.207 --> 00:58:14.109 [Jeff Reed] Even among leadership, there has been lots of conversations, pro and con, towards that. 00:58:14.130 --> 00:58:17.712 [Jeff Reed] But the thing that I utilize artificial intelligence is to multiply me. 00:58:19.252 --> 00:58:25.581 [Jeff Reed] to take my knowledge and my thoughts into different contexts that they've never been before. 00:58:26.381 --> 00:58:36.175 [Jeff Reed] And so we've specifically designed the AI in a way to contextualize this for you, digital missions work for you. 00:58:36.795 --> 00:58:46.359 [Jeff Reed] And so you are in Pakistan, you're in India, you're in Brazil looking up how to do digital missions work. 00:58:46.460 --> 00:58:52.884 [Jeff Reed] If you read a blog, you're going to have to contextualize that yourself because I'm not contextualizing it for you. 00:58:53.863 --> 00:58:58.027 [Jeff Reed] The AI is built in a way that it will contextualize it for you. 00:58:58.686 --> 00:59:00.127 [Jeff Reed] And so it's very easy. 00:59:01.029 --> 00:59:08.298 [Jeff Reed] To interface with the AI, you can go to the church.digital slash Cairn, C-A-I-R-N, and it'll do that. 00:59:08.779 --> 00:59:15.969 [Jeff Reed] In addition to that, it'll also, Cairn is delivering all of the devotionals. 00:59:16.869 --> 00:59:32.750 [Jeff Reed] of scattered and so whatever your vehicle is even email if you're receiving the it via email if you reply to the email if you reply to the whatsapp messages discord everything else you'll be able to interact with karen at real time 00:59:33.930 --> 00:59:37.395 [Jeff Reed] And so that's what we're seeing here. 00:59:38.414 --> 00:59:56.692 [Jeff Reed] Karen has full access to the Church Digital Library, 800-some blogs, full transcripts of 500, 600 shows between Leighton, myself, DeMarcus, Tom Pounder, Andy Mage, and whoever else was part of the Church Digital since, you know, over the past eight or nine years. 00:59:58.573 --> 01:00:00.394 [Jeff Reed] Honestly, it will tell you when it doesn't know. 01:00:00.573 --> 01:00:02.514 [Jeff Reed] I actually love stumping it. 01:00:03.134 --> 01:00:04.694 [Jeff Reed] And there are some things that it's weak on. 01:00:05.435 --> 01:00:09.216 [Jeff Reed] It's got multiple scriptures and multiple languages that it can do. 01:00:09.576 --> 01:00:15.016 [Jeff Reed] It's 50 plus languages, at least, in what it's set up for. 01:00:15.756 --> 01:00:18.778 [Jeff Reed] And the thing is, is it points you to a real person. 01:00:19.518 --> 01:00:22.963 [Jeff Reed] This is not AI, and hear me, because this is what a lot of people get upset about. 01:00:23.625 --> 01:00:25.648 [Jeff Reed] AI is not replacing community. 01:00:26.328 --> 01:00:28.511 [Jeff Reed] AI, Karen, is not replacing us. 01:00:30.077 --> 01:00:32.478 [Jeff Reed] As a matter of fact, this morning, I didn't even know it was public. 01:00:32.837 --> 01:00:38.139 [Jeff Reed] This morning, somebody used Karen to book a meeting with me on Monday. 01:00:38.158 --> 01:00:43.279 [Jeff Reed] My meeting link was already in there, but it was going to roll after this call. 01:00:43.819 --> 01:00:55.042 [Jeff Reed] But evidently, the software rolled out a little early, and I woke up this morning to a meeting with somebody somewhere in Africa that wants to talk with me Monday morning about something. 01:00:55.422 --> 01:01:04.009 [Jeff Reed] And so we are accessible and more and more of our leadership will become accessible through Karen to engage and to interact with things. 01:01:04.529 --> 01:01:08.993 [Jeff Reed] But this is a tool that we want to give to digital missionaries. 01:01:09.712 --> 01:01:17.998 [Jeff Reed] And it's a foundation that we will, in the future, lean on building other things on top of. 01:01:18.279 --> 01:01:18.699 [Jeff Reed] Andy? 01:01:20.362 --> 01:01:21.945 [Jeff Reed] Inesh, others are really excited. 01:01:22.006 --> 01:01:26.014 [Jeff Reed] I mean, of course, I'm really excited about the road ahead with the church digital. 01:01:26.134 --> 01:01:27.195 [Jeff Reed] And Karen's going to play. 01:01:27.676 --> 01:01:29.881 [Jeff Reed] Karen is going to play a big part in that. 01:01:31.877 --> 01:01:39.878 [Jeff Reed] Where you are already, I think I said this, website, any, you can already see it on the Church Digital website, it's already embedded on there. 01:01:39.939 --> 01:01:48.261 [Jeff Reed] WhatsApp, US number 510-824-8724, you can literally WhatsApp us right now on that number, it works. 01:01:48.381 --> 01:01:53.942 [Jeff Reed] Discord, it's already in tcdfam, and so you can do that. 01:01:54.082 --> 01:01:59.842 [Jeff Reed] Slack, you can add it at thechurch.digital slash slack, you gotta install it on your server and then it works fine. 01:02:01.403 --> 01:02:05.725 [Jeff Reed] And then from October 19th, when Scattered launches on, it'll be part of Scattered. 01:02:06.806 --> 01:02:08.748 [Jeff Reed] And so I'm sure that's going to be a thing. 01:02:08.788 --> 01:02:11.970 [Jeff Reed] I'm sure there's probably questions that are centered around that. 01:02:12.490 --> 01:02:17.295 [Jeff Reed] Leighton, briefly, do you have any thoughts on... Oh, you know what? 01:02:17.654 --> 01:02:18.435 [Jeff Reed] Yeah, real quick. 01:02:18.454 --> 01:02:20.136 [Jeff Reed] Do you have any thoughts on this before we move on? 01:02:20.157 --> 01:02:20.697 [Jeff Reed] I'm a little behind. 01:02:55.586 --> 01:02:57.367 [Jeff Reed] Yeah, very, very good. 01:02:58.346 --> 01:03:02.969 [Jeff Reed] Stacey, if you're on, I think I hung up on you accidentally when you did. 01:03:02.988 --> 01:03:04.408 [Jeff Reed] So if you want to call back in, that'd be great. 01:03:04.488 --> 01:03:06.430 [Jeff Reed] And I'm sorry if I did hang up on you. 01:03:06.449 --> 01:03:08.730 [Jeff Reed] I don't think I replied quick enough and I think you were canceled. 01:03:08.751 --> 01:03:18.015 [Jeff Reed] All right, you told us 57% of you said that TCD is shaped too much by American assumptions, sometimes or absolutely. 01:03:18.755 --> 01:03:21.655 [Jeff Reed] One of you even said, think beyond the United States. 01:03:22.136 --> 01:03:23.377 [Jeff Reed] Guilty as charged, own it. 01:03:24.296 --> 01:03:25.356 [Jeff Reed] which is why this is what we're doing. 01:03:26.118 --> 01:03:28.238 [Jeff Reed] Serve with us. 01:03:28.378 --> 01:03:42.162 [Jeff Reed] Public invitation to anybody that wants to help change that and help us step into the global side of the church digital. 01:03:42.222 --> 01:03:43.984 [Jeff Reed] I tell you what, Stacey, I'm going to go ahead and bring you on. 01:03:45.104 --> 01:03:47.305 [Jeff Reed] Give me a second as I finish that thought. 01:03:47.864 --> 01:03:50.126 [Jeff Reed] And I think I can push this button and it'll all work. 01:03:50.987 --> 01:03:51.207 [Jeff Reed] All right. 01:03:51.226 --> 01:03:52.167 [Jeff Reed] Hey, Stacey, can you hear us? 01:03:56.271 --> 01:03:57.293 [Jeff Reed] Yeah, yeah, I can hear you good. 01:03:57.314 --> 01:04:05.990 [Jeff Reed] It's a little delayed, but... Yeah, I would go without the Bluetooth if you can. 01:04:08.518 --> 01:04:12.500 [Jeff Reed] So here's what we're doing with serving. 01:04:12.779 --> 01:04:24.046 [Jeff Reed] We're looking for two to three positions right now that are going to be very strongly influencing what we do internationally and the international footprint of the church digital. 01:04:24.467 --> 01:04:27.750 [Jeff Reed] First off, we're looking for international content creators. 01:04:28.791 --> 01:04:30.792 [Jeff Reed] People like what Leighton and I do. 01:04:30.832 --> 01:04:33.274 [Jeff Reed] Leighton does Control Alt Redeem. 01:04:33.795 --> 01:04:35.315 [Jeff Reed] I do Becoming the Church Digital. 01:04:35.336 --> 01:04:42.521 [Jeff Reed] Demarcus does, Stacey will be back hopefully, and Demarcus does Digital Pavement Podcast. 01:04:43.323 --> 01:04:44.963 [Jeff Reed] And so create a content. 01:04:45.444 --> 01:04:47.065 [Jeff Reed] Create a stream. 01:04:47.445 --> 01:04:48.587 [Jeff Reed] We'll take the stream. 01:04:48.686 --> 01:04:54.912 [Jeff Reed] We'll do everything that we do on our side to make it be effective, to land. 01:04:54.932 --> 01:04:55.913 [Jeff Reed] We'll do the hard work. 01:04:56.434 --> 01:05:03.838 [Jeff Reed] We literally just want you guys to come along, some of our international content creators, and start to create that. 01:05:05.420 --> 01:05:06.720 [Jeff Reed] Stacey, can you mute for a little bit? 01:05:09.743 --> 01:05:11.824 [Jeff Reed] Thanks. 01:05:12.585 --> 01:05:14.426 [Jeff Reed] To help create that content for us. 01:05:16.868 --> 01:05:17.588 [Jeff Reed] Stacey, can you mute? 01:05:17.609 --> 01:05:18.009 [Jeff Reed] Can you hear me? 01:05:20.372 --> 01:05:23.654 [Jeff Reed] Yeah, mute just for a second so we'll get to you. 01:05:24.033 --> 01:05:34.296 [Jeff Reed] Sorry, we need some content creators to come along and help us create international content to take these ideas and help map them out in the international space. 01:05:34.938 --> 01:05:41.359 [Jeff Reed] Number two, and this is a big one, we're looking for a WhatsApp community director. 01:05:42.000 --> 01:05:48.042 [Jeff Reed] Andy helped us get from, let's even back up, Andy helped us get onto Discord, 01:05:49.262 --> 01:05:50.143 [Jeff Reed] two years ago. 01:05:50.682 --> 01:05:54.864 [Jeff Reed] Discord right now is scraping almost 1,000 people at this point. 01:05:55.864 --> 01:05:59.506 [Jeff Reed] Leighton's picked up the reins and has been doing a great job with Discord. 01:05:59.546 --> 01:06:06.068 [Jeff Reed] And Leighton now serves as our community director overseeing both WhatsApp and Discord. 01:06:07.307 --> 01:06:12.409 [Jeff Reed] But WhatsApp really is an international flair. 01:06:13.229 --> 01:06:24.832 [Jeff Reed] And especially if you were to look at the surveys, we didn't get much into it in this, but the different surveys, the website will show you some of the differences if you look at the survey on the website when it publishes. 01:06:25.372 --> 01:06:33.835 [Jeff Reed] The different flair between what the US is looking for in Discord and what international is looking for in WhatsApp, it's a different thing. 01:06:34.435 --> 01:06:39.235 [Jeff Reed] And so we've been running WhatsApp and Discord really as one community just on two platforms. 01:06:40.036 --> 01:06:42.476 [Jeff Reed] The reality is, is it's two communities. 01:06:42.997 --> 01:06:47.000 [Jeff Reed] And so we, the Church Digital, we need to separate it a little bit. 01:06:47.020 --> 01:06:52.921 [Jeff Reed] And to do that, I need somebody to step up, somebody who understands international context, who isn't... 01:06:56.015 --> 01:07:02.501 [Jeff Reed] U.S. bald white with a beard who can step in and start to run that globally. 01:07:03.041 --> 01:07:07.144 [Jeff Reed] And so if you're interested in either of those, reach out to me. 01:07:07.163 --> 01:07:11.228 [Jeff Reed] You can zap the QR code, listen to church.digital.com. 01:07:11.587 --> 01:07:14.591 [Jeff Reed] We're also looking for people on the equipping and mobilizing team. 01:07:14.970 --> 01:07:22.077 [Jeff Reed] This is the stuff that Andy and Inesh is working on to start to create tools to complement what we're doing through Cairn. 01:07:22.756 --> 01:07:26.298 [Jeff Reed] as well as other tools and resourcing that we're doing at the global level. 01:07:27.238 --> 01:07:32.502 [Jeff Reed] We need people that are with on-the-field experience globally to kind of step in and be part of that team. 01:07:33.283 --> 01:07:38.164 [Jeff Reed] Once again, if we're not resourcing, if we're not helping people in the field, then why am I doing this? 01:07:39.265 --> 01:07:40.006 [Jeff Reed] I would rather not. 01:07:40.945 --> 01:07:44.448 [Jeff Reed] But what we're seeing through these surveys is we are doing this. 01:07:44.768 --> 01:07:47.909 [Jeff Reed] And so we're going to keep leaning in and helping as best we can. 01:07:48.938 --> 01:07:53.099 [Jeff Reed] And so very much thankful for that. 01:07:53.359 --> 01:07:55.880 [Jeff Reed] And y'all, that's gonna wrap up the stream. 01:07:56.000 --> 01:08:02.283 [Jeff Reed] And so, but Ford, I wanna do, and I asked Stacey to jump on with us as we're wrapping up here. 01:08:03.063 --> 01:08:06.083 [Jeff Reed] I want us to close in a time of prayer. 01:08:07.503 --> 01:08:12.025 [Jeff Reed] Stacey, to be honest, I don't remember what we said we were gonna do to close. 01:08:13.067 --> 01:08:15.989 [Jeff Reed] But hopefully you got that memo. 01:08:16.610 --> 01:08:18.212 [Jeff Reed] But I'm just going to hand it over to you. 01:08:18.552 --> 01:08:23.158 [Jeff Reed] And let's say you've got five or 10 minutes, however best you feel led. 01:10:35.918 --> 01:10:37.119 [Jeff Reed] Yeah, I love that. 01:10:37.140 --> 01:10:39.100 [Jeff Reed] Why don't you lead us in a guided prayer? 01:10:39.461 --> 01:10:49.268 [Jeff Reed] We've got some people watching, and we'll have a bunch watching this online, but lead us through a guided prayer session on those notes to wrap up, and then we'll dismiss. 01:10:52.149 --> 01:10:52.250 [Jeff Reed] Oh! 01:10:57.801 --> 01:11:00.502 [Jeff Reed] Awesome. 01:11:00.563 --> 01:11:02.304 [Jeff Reed] Give me the headlines one more time. 01:11:02.604 --> 01:11:03.744 [Jeff Reed] I didn't know I was taking notes. 01:11:04.364 --> 01:11:06.586 [Jeff Reed] And then FlatCap, why don't you and I tag team it?
