ChurchOne App Update

1
00:00:02.319 --> 00:00:07.919
Looking at our world from a theological
perspective. This is the Theology Central podcast

2
00:00:08.199 --> 00:00:15.880
making Theology Central. Good afternoon everyone. It is Tuesday, July the ninth,

3
00:00:16.039 --> 00:00:20.559
twenty twenty four. It is currently
one pm Central Time, and I

4
00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:27.480
am coming to you live from the
Theology Central studio located right here in Abilene,

5
00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:34.320
Texas. Are you ready for an
update? Are you ready for Well?

6
00:00:34.359 --> 00:00:37.119
I don't know if you'll be excited
about it. I don't even know

7
00:00:37.159 --> 00:00:42.719
if I want to say an important
update, but an update still an update,

8
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:47.880
right. It may not be maybe
the most earth shattering news, but

9
00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:51.679
at least information that I want you
to have. As as many of you

10
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:59.079
know, I have been broadcasting for
many years and I've tried utilizing every platform

11
00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:02.759
that I can find in some way, shape or form. Right, the

12
00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:07.760
only thing that can really limit the
number of platforms is how compatible your equipment

13
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:11.439
is with different platforms. In other
words, can you broadcast live? Can

14
00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:15.120
you only upload to? So there's
some limitations there. Like there were times

15
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:19.040
we were trying to go live on
like I do know, three or four

16
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:23.680
different platforms at the same time.
That didn't work out very well because some

17
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:27.120
of the platforms tried to take control
of the microphone and others, and so

18
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:30.280
it would turn the volume down on
some platforms and increase it on others,

19
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:36.480
and it was a mess. So
but other than that limitation equipment and compatibility,

20
00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:38.680
the other limitation, of course,
is just money, right. I

21
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:42.480
mean, you've got to have money. The more money you have, the

22
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:45.480
more things you can use, the
more tools you can use, the more

23
00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:49.319
things you can utilize, the more
things you can do. So we've always

24
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:53.760
been, you know, trying and
looking and looking for different platforms and different

25
00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:57.200
options. Well, one of the
platforms that we have been utilizing for a

26
00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:02.719
number of years now is obviously the
Sermon Audio platform and our content is on

27
00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:09.360
the Sermons two point oh app and
the beta dot sermon audio dot com website.

28
00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:13.560
Right, you can find all of
our content on the Sermons two point

29
00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:17.719
oh app or the beta dot sermon
audio dot com website. Now, if

30
00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:23.039
you know the beta dot sermonadio dot
com website, it's still in beta,

31
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:27.639
but that's going to be the new
and improved Sermon Audio website. And you

32
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:31.039
look at it, they have made
tremendous improvements. It looks super nice,

33
00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:36.919
it's awesome. They've really done a
lot of hard work on the website.

34
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:39.039
Sadly, many people are still using
the old website. I don't know why.

35
00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:42.879
Everyone. If you're gonna use the
website, go to beta dot Sermon

36
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:46.800
audio dot com. It's much better. It looks something more modern. The

37
00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:50.240
old Sermon Audio website looks like something
I don't know from like two thousand and

38
00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:54.680
two or something. So please go
to beta dot sermon audio dot com and

39
00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:59.479
then look for us, all right, And so that's that's where our content

40
00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:04.159
is. Two point oh app is
great. They continue to make improvements.

41
00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:08.479
Supposedly more updates and improvements are coming
along on down the road and don't know

42
00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:13.520
when, but it'll be interesting to
see what new things they add and want

43
00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:16.840
new features. So our content is
there. But one of the things that

44
00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:22.159
really makes the Sermon Audio platform worth
the money we spend. You know,

45
00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:25.080
it's sixty dollars a month and for
us to be able to broadcast on that

46
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:31.120
platform. One of the really awesome
features is what is known as the church

47
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:38.360
one app church Ohne. You can
go to the Google play Store the Apple

48
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:44.280
App Store just do a search for
church Ohne. Once you download the app,

49
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:46.800
you have to kind of just start. It's basically going to have you

50
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:51.080
kind of do your onboarding process,
and what you need to do is choose

51
00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:55.360
a broadcaster. Hopefully you'll choose US
Theology Central. Once you choose Theology Central,

52
00:03:55.719 --> 00:04:00.400
then the Church One app for all
practical purposes becomes the Theology Central app.

53
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:03.319
It becomes really our app. And
then when you look at it,

54
00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:09.360
all of our content is there.
It's organized really well, it's got a

55
00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:13.639
good search feature, or at least
a pretty decent search feature. It's god,

56
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:17.839
all of our content is broken down
into series. And so I really

57
00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:23.199
appreciate that because if you look at
our content on any podcasting app, it

58
00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:28.160
doesn't matter if it's Apple, doesn't
matter if it's Spotify, Pandora, pocket

59
00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:32.800
Cast, Overcast, you just name
the podcasting app. Well, all your

60
00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:38.319
content is just kind of listed like
just basically in chronological order. Typically they

61
00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:40.959
start from the newest and go to
the oldest. You can typically reverse the

62
00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:45.399
order oldest to newest, but that's
basically all you have there. There's no

63
00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:50.120
way to break things down into series
or anything like that, so meaning that

64
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:54.879
in most cases people are probably not
going to sit there and scroll down and

65
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:58.959
down and down and down to look
at your old content. So a good

66
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:02.079
portion of that old co content is
never found. It's just I mean what

67
00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:09.079
you You kind of upload an episode
and you got maybe forty eight seventy two

68
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:13.759
hours if you're lucky, a week
for that episode to really get noticed and

69
00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:16.279
to get listened to. After that, it's pretty much done. You could,

70
00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:18.639
I hate to say it, you
can pretty much go in and just

71
00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:24.199
delete it. Now. Sometimes people
will find older things via some search,

72
00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:29.680
but a good portion of it is
just gone. And that is that is

73
00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:32.800
very discouraging and very depressing because it
kind of tells you as a broadcaster,

74
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:38.279
everything is about the now. Forget
what you did a week ago, a

75
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:42.319
month ago. It's all about the
now. So just keep producing new content

76
00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:44.959
because no one You may think,
well, I've got, you know,

77
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:50.040
four thousand episodes out there, and
nobody cares about three nine and ninety nine

78
00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:54.959
of them. Okay, they may, they may look for the last five

79
00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:57.680
or ten, but they're not going
to sit there and scroll through thousands.

80
00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:00.600
They're just they're not going to do
it. And there's no way to organize

81
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:06.079
it well. With the Church one
app you'll notice everything's broken into series.

82
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:12.759
So there's that possibility that someone will
click on series, see the series,

83
00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:16.639
and then it's much easier to go
through all of the particular episodes. Now,

84
00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:20.040
the same thing happens if you look
for us on the Sermon's two point

85
00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:24.959
oh app and find Theology Central,
you can still find our series. If

86
00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:28.079
you go to Beta dot sermon Audio
dot com, do a search for Theologycentral,

87
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:31.920
you'll find our series. So all
of that makes their platform almost invaluable,

88
00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:35.000
right, there's no there's not really
a price tag you can put on.

89
00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:41.360
I mean it's sixty dollars a month, but from a practical standpoint,

90
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:46.720
that's really valuable and valuable if I
can speak correctly, because all of your

91
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:50.759
your stuff is just organized so you
have a greater chance or let's say,

92
00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:57.639
there's a greater chance exist that someone
may actually find your older content. There's

93
00:06:57.680 --> 00:07:01.199
a chance and if you look at
to say the bit about Sermon Audio dot

94
00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:06.560
website, dot com website or the
Sermon's two point zero app. Their search

95
00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:11.759
function is also designed to look for
any sermons based off a particular scripture or

96
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:15.560
a particular topic, which once again
will help people find your old content.

97
00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:21.800
The podcasting apps their search functions or
you know, they're okay, but I

98
00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:26.360
mean there's times I've gone to some
of the podcasting apps and do a search

99
00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:30.560
literally for the title of one of
my episodes, and you cannot even find

100
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:34.160
it, And I'm like, well, that that's disappointing. That's discouraging.

101
00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:39.480
But with because of all the data
I can put in when I upload something

102
00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:44.240
to the Sermon Audio platform, I
have all that data really works well with

103
00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:47.360
their search function, so then makes
it easier for it to be discovered.

104
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:50.680
So that's all that makes it invaluable. That makes it, that makes it

105
00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:57.120
absolutely like you you want to be
on that platform. You do well the

106
00:07:57.240 --> 00:08:03.240
Church One app. I have tried
to promote it over and over and over

107
00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:05.959
and over again. I don't know
how successful I've been. This is the

108
00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:09.360
one thing that is frustrating. Of
all the of all the data and all

109
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:16.120
the analytics I am handed to by
a Sermon Audio, they do not tell

110
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:20.600
me how many people have downloaded the
Church one app and chosen us as their

111
00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:26.639
featured broadcaster. That's kind of discouraging, right, that's kind of discouraging.

112
00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:30.319
Now, if you go to the
beta dot Sermon audio dot com website,

113
00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:35.440
they now have a section called my
Church you can actually choose Theology Central to

114
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:41.159
be your chosen broadcaster. I know
it's called my church because I mean they

115
00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:45.759
kind of I know, they still
haven't really embraced the podcasters. It's still

116
00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:50.480
more about churches. But you could
actually make me like, I hate to

117
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:52.840
say my church because I'm not a
church. I'm a podcast, right,

118
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:56.360
But in a sense by saying my
church, you're saying you're a broadcaster.

119
00:08:56.759 --> 00:09:01.600
I don't know if that makes my
content more easier to access, but you

120
00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:05.279
can try it. Go to Beta
dot sermonadio dot com website, look for

121
00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:09.279
the section called my church and choose
Theology Central. You can report to me

122
00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:11.840
what that looks like. I haven't
tried it yet. I just saw the

123
00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:16.559
feature the other day and I'm like, Okay, that's cool. I wonder

124
00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:18.879
if people will utilize that. I
don't know what that looks like. I

125
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:22.279
don't know. I don't know how
that will work. But the Church One

126
00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:26.240
app is the app that we have. I definitely have tried to promote and

127
00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:28.720
and and one of the reasons we've
tried to promote this, and one of

128
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:31.399
the reasons we pay and and this
is this is crazy to think about.

129
00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:37.799
If you really think about it really
the only when this all when we kind

130
00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:41.679
of moved in this direction, to
be on the sermonadio platform really all we

131
00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:46.759
wanted. In fact, I even
I think I even asked if it was

132
00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:50.080
possible, can we just can we
just pay money just to have the Church

133
00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:56.399
one app? Like you can hide
our content from every other source. We

134
00:09:56.559 --> 00:09:58.840
just wanted to be on the Church
one app. And why did we want

135
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:03.039
it to be on the Church one
app? Class Everyone knows we wanted it

136
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:11.000
to be on the Church one app
because of the notifications on Spreaker, our

137
00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:15.840
podcast hosting site, when they allowed
live broadcasts, the notification system to let

138
00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:20.879
people know that I was going live
was trash. We did a test on

139
00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:24.039
Mixler, which there's a lot of
good things I liked about Mixler, but

140
00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:30.799
their notification system was somewhat trash.
Of everything we've ever tried, the Church

141
00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:37.720
one apps notification is by far the
best. It is superior to everything else

142
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:41.840
we've ever tried. I get ready
to go live. Within minutes, a

143
00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:46.600
notification goes out letting everyone know I
have gone live. So that's what we

144
00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:50.600
really pay the money for, really
is for that app, the Church one

145
00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:54.360
app. So in some ways we
spend the money to be on the Church

146
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:56.759
One app, and sometimes it's difficult
to get people to adapt it, to

147
00:10:56.879 --> 00:11:01.840
adopt that appy. They want to
use other things. But the Church One

148
00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:05.159
App we have promoted and promoted and
promoted and promoted again. It has all

149
00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:09.799
of our content broken down into series, and it has notification systems. And

150
00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:15.120
not only that, I can send
out notices, I can send out links

151
00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:20.480
to a book, right, like
we've done countless times. If I mention

152
00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:22.080
a book, I can send out
a link to it. If I mentioned

153
00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:26.879
a website, I can send out
a link to it. Other people don't

154
00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:30.960
use notices that way, but of
course I don't use anything the way probably

155
00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:35.320
they were originally designed. I kind
of always I kind of just make them

156
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:37.120
my own, right, I kind
of make them my own. So the

157
00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:41.679
Church one app really is now the
Theology Central app for those who choose us

158
00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:46.679
to be their broadcaster. So I
say all of that to kind of explain

159
00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:50.080
why we've been using this app and
why we pay the money for a lot

160
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:52.720
of people say, well, why
why pay the money? I mean,

161
00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:56.879
you could do some of the other
podcast hosting sites for you know, cheaper,

162
00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:58.360
right, I mean, that's sixty
dollars a month. You could,

163
00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:03.600
No, I could, But then
we lose all of our content broken into

164
00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:09.600
series, and we lose the live
broadcasting option, and we lose the notification

165
00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:15.919
system. I if I'm gonna lose
all of that, I'm just gonna be

166
00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:18.720
honest with you. There's no real
point, you know what I'm saying.

167
00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:24.879
Just I'm just just be done.
So what I'm here to tell you today

168
00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:31.799
is the Church one app has been
updated, and I think it looks really

169
00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:35.440
nice. So here, I don't
know about you. I'm I'm almost compulsive

170
00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:39.720
with this. Every single day I
go to the App Store and the Apple

171
00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:43.159
the Apple App Store, and I
pull down on the screen so it refreshes

172
00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:48.159
and it shows me if there's been
any new updates to any of the apps

173
00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:52.480
that I utilize, because I like
to manually update the apps so then I

174
00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:56.120
can immediately look at any new features. It's a kind of a compulsive thing.

175
00:12:56.159 --> 00:12:58.840
I probably checked more than probably three
four times a day because I'm always

176
00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:01.320
looking. You can see what new
features are added to any app that I

177
00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:07.919
utilize. So the Church one app
was updated yesterday. Now Here are some

178
00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:13.919
of the features that are in this
update. If I can find it here,

179
00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:20.320
Give me one second. Here we
are supposedly this is a complete app

180
00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:24.759
rewrite from the ground up. All
right, it looks like it all right.

181
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:28.120
In fact, what you'll see when
you open the new church One app.

182
00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:30.039
Well, first, when you open
up the new Church one app,

183
00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:33.039
once you update it, you're gonna
have to do the onboarding process again.

184
00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:37.840
You're gonna have to choose us to
be your your chosen broadcast. I'm not

185
00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:39.879
gonna say your favorite, but you're
chosen. And the reason I say,

186
00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:45.320
the reason I tell people to use
that app for us and not other ministries

187
00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:50.440
is mainly because of how frequently we
add new content and how frequently I'm going

188
00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:54.559
a lot I go live. So
that seems to make the app much more

189
00:13:56.039 --> 00:14:00.960
productive and profitable to have it for
us and other places that only add content

190
00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:03.639
once a week. All right,
So that's my sales pitch, right.

191
00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:05.759
So, but they've kind of place
it, basically rewritten it, and it

192
00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:09.679
looks a lot like the beta dot
sermonadio dot com website. It has the

193
00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:16.080
same you can tell they're kind of
using the same coding and the same it's

194
00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:18.639
looking the same. They're trying to
get a kind of a uniformity in all

195
00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:26.519
of their platforms. Supposedly, it
has an improved search functionality and search history.

196
00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:31.159
Well, we definitely want the search
to be as improved as as as

197
00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:35.320
much as they can improve it,
because the search is what allows people to

198
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:41.679
find my content. Right, you
want that search to be perfect because if

199
00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:43.399
people are looking for anything, I
want them to be able to find it.

200
00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:46.360
If they can't find it, well, then they're never going to listen

201
00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:52.000
to it. Enhanced performance and stability. Oh, that's great. We want

202
00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:54.879
it to perform better and we want
it to be more stable. That's good.

203
00:14:56.240 --> 00:15:01.480
Now I've heard that there's some type
of a floating player experience. I

204
00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:03.960
don't know what that means. I
don't know what that is. I haven't

205
00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:07.840
noticed it yet, so we'll keep
looking for that. Maybe there's more updates

206
00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:11.759
to come. It's going to have
a more precise percentage playback indicator to know

207
00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:16.879
exactly where you are and listening.
That's always good. It's going to have

208
00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:20.279
dark mode now, depending on your
device. My device is already set up

209
00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:22.440
for dark mode, so as soon
as I opened it, I was like,

210
00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:26.000
WHOA, this is in dark mode. That's awesome. If you prefer

211
00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:31.879
dark mode sometimes people do, sometimes
people don't. They're going to have improved

212
00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:35.840
offline support. That's good because sometimes
when you're using the Church one app,

213
00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:39.120
you're not going to be online.
You're not going to be connected to Wi

214
00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:41.320
Fi. You may be somewhere,
but if you've downloaded messages, you want

215
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:46.200
to be able to get to those
those messages that you have downloaded so you

216
00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:50.960
can listen when you're not online.
So hopefully that works better. They're going

217
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:58.600
to have improved language language support,
and they've got French, Persian, Portuguese,

218
00:15:58.679 --> 00:16:00.320
Spanish, so I don't I don't
know how all of that's going to

219
00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:03.399
work, but they have that.
So the app has been updated, so

220
00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:07.080
please go update it. Go to
your app store of choice for your device,

221
00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:11.799
look up Church one and hit update, or if there's other ways for

222
00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:17.840
you to look up updates for your
apps updated and then let me know what

223
00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:22.320
you see and if you feel it
works. Now. One of the reasons

224
00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:25.039
I'm doing this broadcast well one,
I didn't want to talk about all of

225
00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:30.360
this as an introduction to something else, because you know, then there would

226
00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:34.320
be a twenty minute introduction about something
not related to the topic that we're going

227
00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:38.399
to talk about. So it'd be
like fifteen twenty minute introduction, then introduce

228
00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:41.960
the topic I'm going to talk about
that's maddening to everyone. So I thought

229
00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:45.799
I would just make this one self
contained episode. But one of the reasons

230
00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:52.440
we did this is I wanted to
ensure that the notification system was working for

231
00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:56.679
the updated Church One app, and
it worked without any problems. So I

232
00:16:56.759 --> 00:17:00.879
sent out a notice earlier than note
offication work, and now we went live

233
00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:04.839
and the notification work. So that
seems to imply that the notification system is

234
00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:11.279
working. Great, the app looks
much better. Hopefully it functions much better.

235
00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:17.920
If you find an issue with the
update, please you you can contact

236
00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:21.680
me. But if you contact Sermonadio
directly, that's that's great. You can

237
00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:23.279
be I'm a listener, I'm using
the app, and this is what it's

238
00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:26.079
doing or not doing, because then
they can fix it. A lot of

239
00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:30.400
times, if something's not working correctly, a lot of people will tell me

240
00:17:30.039 --> 00:17:34.799
okay, well then I have to
go tell them okay and so but if

241
00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:38.960
it comes from the listeners and there's
multiple ones coming not just from me,

242
00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:41.920
right, I can say, hey, fifteen people contacted me and they're like,

243
00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:45.359
yeah, whatever, maybe they did, maybe they didn't. We don't

244
00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:48.240
know. Okay, you just want
you just want what you want. And

245
00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:49.559
I'm like, no, okay,
I'm trying to speak for the listeners.

246
00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:56.920
But if the listeners actually contact them, then okay, so please go check

247
00:17:56.319 --> 00:18:02.440
that out, update your app,
and then hopefully it will prove to be

248
00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:07.799
beneficial and then listen and and keep
church one Like, even if even let's

249
00:18:07.839 --> 00:18:11.240
say my podcast comes to an end, well you can then just get rid

250
00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:15.319
of me as your chosen broadcaster and
then choose someone else and then choose one

251
00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:18.240
of the other people on who's used
the ceminatial platform and make it their app,

252
00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:22.519
right, I mean, I look, that's the one thing about anybody

253
00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:25.880
when it comes to Christianity. Doesn't
matter if you're a pastor, it doesn't

254
00:18:25.880 --> 00:18:27.519
matter if you're a podcast. It
doesn't even matter if you are a church.

255
00:18:29.359 --> 00:18:36.079
You are easily replaceable, just like
that. Right, I can sit

256
00:18:36.079 --> 00:18:41.319
here behind this microphone thinking that I
have some I'm unique, or I have

257
00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:48.039
this or I have doesn't really matter. I maybe I'm nothing, because if

258
00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:52.519
I disappear tomorrow, nobody's going to
remember it. Two days later. They're

259
00:18:52.559 --> 00:18:56.240
already gonna moved on. To the
next broadcaster, the next podcaster, the

260
00:18:56.279 --> 00:19:00.920
next church, the next ministry,
and then when that when's gone, they'll

261
00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:03.720
just move on to the next one
and they just move on. That's kind

262
00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:07.039
of the way it's designed to be, right. There's no one who's who's

263
00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:12.559
irreplaceable within Christianity. We just were
just a voice, and that voice can

264
00:19:12.599 --> 00:19:18.400
be changed at any moment at any
time. People change anyway, people get,

265
00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:19.920
they get tired of you, they
don't like you, whatever the case

266
00:19:19.960 --> 00:19:23.000
may be. They'll just move on. That's the way it works. So

267
00:19:23.079 --> 00:19:26.759
you gotta you gotta realize that.
So in some cases you have the tools

268
00:19:27.079 --> 00:19:30.079
and as soon as you need to
replace me with someone else, you already

269
00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:33.880
have the tool in order to do
that. And then it will be beneficial.

270
00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:38.599
So have the app even even even
if you don't well, don't even

271
00:19:38.680 --> 00:19:42.359
use it for me. Choose another
broadcast around Cermonadio and use it for them,

272
00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:47.599
right, so that you get their
content and you get notified when they

273
00:19:47.640 --> 00:19:48.960
go live, right, because then, I mean, I think that's an

274
00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:56.720
awesome thing. It'll be it'll be
advantageous for you and you'll get you know,

275
00:19:56.799 --> 00:20:00.880
better use of of of things.
I mean, choose the one choose

276
00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:03.440
the broadcaster that's going to benefit you
the most, right, that's what you

277
00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:07.839
have to do. That's what you
must do, because you know there's no

278
00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:10.680
point in having it for anybody else. Now, I know for many people

279
00:20:10.759 --> 00:20:14.799
that are like, well, I
already got the sermons top on oh app,

280
00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:17.200
Now I got the Church one app. I don't want another app.

281
00:20:17.200 --> 00:20:22.880
And I do understand that I do. But if you listen to if you

282
00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:26.480
listen to me on a pretty consistent
and irregular basis, I think the Church

283
00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:32.920
one app is the best way to
do so, and look and may and

284
00:20:32.960 --> 00:20:37.319
let let me make it very clear
when I'm promoting it, it's actually a

285
00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:45.240
disadvantage to me. I mean currently
for our podcasting feed right for that comes

286
00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:49.440
from Spreaker, that's still currently monetized. I'm still debating what to do there

287
00:20:51.039 --> 00:20:56.640
that because currently that at least pays
for the price right now, currently it

288
00:20:56.680 --> 00:21:03.799
can cover the price of broad casting
on Spreaker. The monetization covers the price

289
00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:07.640
of broadcasting on Spreaker, making basically
broadcasting on Spreaker free. That's what that

290
00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:11.640
monetization has done. It's not making
me any money. It's not going to

291
00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:15.640
make my house payment. It's not
going to do anything like that, but

292
00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:18.599
it does cover the cost of broadcasting, right, So if I can at

293
00:21:18.680 --> 00:21:22.279
least cover the cost of broadcasting.
In some ways, I don't want to

294
00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:25.079
get rid of the commercials. Other
ways I want to get rid of the

295
00:21:25.079 --> 00:21:29.359
commercials. So I don't know.
I'm really conflicted over that, you know,

296
00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:33.759
I'm really I'm really conflicted. And
so I'm still trying to figure out

297
00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:37.119
what to do. But when I
tell everyone to go download to Church one

298
00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:41.279
app, I'm actually undermining that because
the more people who go to Church one,

299
00:21:41.079 --> 00:21:47.200
well, that content's not monetized.
Hey, if you listen to us

300
00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:52.519
on Sermon's two point zero Church one
no monetization, you see you hear no

301
00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:56.000
commercials, right, So in that
sense, that's great, right, there's

302
00:21:56.039 --> 00:22:02.839
no But I'm undermining my ability to
make any money. But that's okay because

303
00:22:02.839 --> 00:22:04.799
I want to be able to have
easy, the easiest access to the content

304
00:22:04.880 --> 00:22:11.440
more than anything else. And yes, you know, there's still a lot

305
00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:17.240
of questions moving forward. I still
don't there's I told you in twenty twenty

306
00:22:17.279 --> 00:22:18.519
three, I didn't know what twenty
twenty four was going to look like.

307
00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:22.200
Remember I told you twenty twenty four
was going to be weird, right,

308
00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:26.880
so we definitely know this Victory Baptist
Church and Ovalo, Texas. For all

309
00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:30.200
practical purposes, I mean, there's
just no way to say it's over.

310
00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:33.920
It's done, right. I mean, there's a big force cell sign in

311
00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:37.920
the middle of the parking lot,
right, I mean, we're waiting for

312
00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:40.920
someone to buy the building. And
then for all practical purposes, it's over.

313
00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:45.839
If someone does buy the building,
if everything works out correctly. Hopefully,

314
00:22:45.119 --> 00:22:48.319
if it works out correctly, my
house will be paid for and then

315
00:22:48.359 --> 00:22:52.599
I don't have to worry about anything
there. But that's going to have a

316
00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:56.319
profound impact on things, right,
It's gonna it's gonna raise some big questions

317
00:22:56.359 --> 00:23:00.759
because once the church goes away,
well, and if I ask forgiving or

318
00:23:00.839 --> 00:23:07.440
donations to help cover the cost of
broadcasting on say sermons two point zero Church

319
00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:12.839
one, that's sixty dollars a month, Well, if if that money comes

320
00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:17.799
directly to me because it would no
longer go to the church, well,

321
00:23:17.839 --> 00:23:21.759
then now that becomes taxable. Right, So then how do I report that

322
00:23:21.759 --> 00:23:26.440
that tax and then do I end
up actually hurting myself in the long run?

323
00:23:26.680 --> 00:23:27.880
Right? Now, there. I
think there's an argument if it's less

324
00:23:27.920 --> 00:23:33.559
than six hundred dollars, then it
won't we'll see the money in some ways,

325
00:23:33.599 --> 00:23:36.720
I wish that. I wish Sermon
Audio had it set up where people

326
00:23:36.720 --> 00:23:40.160
could just give money, but it
went directly to sermon Audio and not to

327
00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:44.200
me. Right, so then by
so then someone basically is paying for my

328
00:23:44.319 --> 00:23:48.720
broadcasting. I don't have to worry
about any tax. No money comes to

329
00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:52.519
me, it goes directly to sermon
Audio, and then I'm good to go

330
00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:56.599
for I'm good to go for each
month. Right, someone just pays for

331
00:23:56.680 --> 00:24:00.039
it each month, or or three
listeners pay or whatever the case may be.

332
00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:06.599
That would be the best because if
you bring in too much, then

333
00:24:06.599 --> 00:24:11.160
you got to I looked up lots
of articles about podcasting and taxing and taxation,

334
00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:12.279
and you got to fill out a
form and if you bring in this

335
00:24:12.440 --> 00:24:15.960
much, and I'm like, no, no, no, no, no,

336
00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:19.599
I don't want it to be that
complicated. If the monetization pays for

337
00:24:19.680 --> 00:24:26.680
Spreaker, great, then the most
expensive is Sermonadio, which is sixty dollars

338
00:24:26.680 --> 00:24:29.839
a month. If we could find
a way for the money just to go

339
00:24:29.920 --> 00:24:33.960
straight to them, now it would
be great in some ways. It would

340
00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:41.160
be great if I could bring in
an entire year's worth of support for twenty

341
00:24:41.240 --> 00:24:45.839
twenty five before the church goes away. Right then the money would go directly

342
00:24:45.880 --> 00:24:48.279
to the church. Then the church. Then I could contact Sermonadio and go,

343
00:24:48.319 --> 00:24:52.839
hey, here's a year's worth.
Can this pay for all of twenty

344
00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:55.960
twenty five? And if they said
yes, then hand them the money,

345
00:24:56.000 --> 00:24:59.039
be done with it, and then
I know I can broadcast between now and

346
00:24:59.079 --> 00:25:00.880
the end of twenty twenty five five
and I don't have to worry about anything.

347
00:25:00.960 --> 00:25:03.920
That would be the all. That
would be the ultimate thing, right,

348
00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:07.440
that would be because then the money
we go to the church, the

349
00:25:07.519 --> 00:25:11.000
church directly to Sermonadio, never cut
cross my hands, and then there we

350
00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:14.640
go. And then when the church
goes away, then all right. And

351
00:25:14.680 --> 00:25:18.200
then then when the twenty twenty six
then we would have to determine even if

352
00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:21.279
the podcast still exists in twenty twenty
six, but at least we would have

353
00:25:21.359 --> 00:25:27.000
one final year run. Right.
That's the way if I go out,

354
00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:29.640
that's the way I want to go
out. I want to be able to

355
00:25:29.640 --> 00:25:33.640
have like, Okay, you got
twelve months, let's well, I've got

356
00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:37.559
from now to the end of twenty
twenty five. That would be a good

357
00:25:37.680 --> 00:25:40.680
run. That would be a really
good run. So that's what I'm I'm

358
00:25:40.720 --> 00:25:42.680
shooting for. I don't know how
that's all going to work, but the

359
00:25:42.720 --> 00:25:47.880
thing is, I would like to
be able to maintain what we have because

360
00:25:47.880 --> 00:25:51.680
I think the platform works really well. I think the Church one platform is

361
00:25:51.720 --> 00:25:55.559
one of the look no other podcasting
site, no matter how much money you

362
00:25:55.599 --> 00:26:00.160
pay for, is offering what they're
offering. Right, I could go up

363
00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:04.759
and I could go up on Spreaker
and pay even more money than I pay

364
00:26:06.039 --> 00:26:08.640
for the Church one app and guess
what, ladies and gentlemen won't even give

365
00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:14.279
me anywhere, won't really add anything
to what I already have available to me.

366
00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:21.279
They don't have anything designed like Church
one. So it's worth the money,

367
00:26:21.359 --> 00:26:25.279
you know, like to me,
once that goes away, you know,

368
00:26:25.359 --> 00:26:27.440
I don't know, I don't know, but sixty dollars a month,

369
00:26:29.440 --> 00:26:32.559
you know a little bit of a
price. There. We have the pod

370
00:26:32.640 --> 00:26:36.440
page. I'm still debating on what
to do with that because that's twenty dollars

371
00:26:36.480 --> 00:26:38.319
a month. So I may get
rid of the pod page. Oh,

372
00:26:38.440 --> 00:26:45.079
I'd be very discouraging, but then
that just brings it down to Spreaker and

373
00:26:45.200 --> 00:26:49.599
Church one. Boom, that's it. So then all I would need is

374
00:26:49.640 --> 00:26:56.480
I can pay for Spreaker with the
monetization currently I can. Now if I

375
00:26:56.559 --> 00:26:59.319
keep moving everyone to Church one,
then that will go away. But okay,

376
00:26:59.599 --> 00:27:03.960
but then on Church one, if
we can maintain it, then that's

377
00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:07.319
just sixty dollars a month. And
you know we can. We can.

378
00:27:07.279 --> 00:27:11.519
We get the giving to we get
the giving to cover it right now.

379
00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:15.000
We get the giving supports Church one, so we're in good We're in good

380
00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:18.119
shape right there. The issue is
once the church goes away, which in

381
00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:22.759
all practical purposes, it's it's,
it's it's I mean, it could end

382
00:27:22.839 --> 00:27:26.960
any time. Then I don't then
the money would then I gotta change it

383
00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:30.319
to come directly to my bank account, and I don't like that, Like,

384
00:27:30.400 --> 00:27:33.599
I don't ugh, I wanted to
go straight to sermon audio, like

385
00:27:34.160 --> 00:27:37.880
ken is. I don't know if
they have it set up. Is there

386
00:27:37.920 --> 00:27:41.880
a way that that people can just
give money then it just it just covers

387
00:27:41.880 --> 00:27:45.240
my broadcasting fee, Like, I
don't know how that can work. There's

388
00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:47.599
gotta be a way. I'm gonna
I'm gonna email them and ask them,

389
00:27:47.759 --> 00:27:51.200
Hey, is there a way people
can just give directly to you guys to

390
00:27:51.200 --> 00:27:56.880
cover the cost of broadcasting for a
broadcaster? Now, I know that would

391
00:27:56.920 --> 00:28:02.640
probably be an you know, accounting
nightmare for them. I don't I don't

392
00:28:02.640 --> 00:28:04.519
know how that would work, but
it would be It would be so easy

393
00:28:04.559 --> 00:28:08.160
for me then, because then no
money comes directly to me. None,

394
00:28:08.319 --> 00:28:15.440
zero, zilch none, none,
and then then that's then all tax issues

395
00:28:15.680 --> 00:28:19.119
are taken care of. Then I'm
not nobody's giving me any money, so

396
00:28:19.160 --> 00:28:22.039
then nobody has to feel like I'm
in it for the money. It keeps

397
00:28:22.079 --> 00:28:26.039
me kind of a I think I
like that. It's much more transparent.

398
00:28:26.279 --> 00:28:30.200
Hey, all money goes to them, not to me. Boom, You're

399
00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:33.799
you're giving to them, not to
me, you know so, and then

400
00:28:33.839 --> 00:28:37.000
I and then if you decide you
don't like me broadcasting, you just stop

401
00:28:37.079 --> 00:28:38.240
giving and then I don't have anyone
paying for it, and then it goes

402
00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:41.680
away like that. Then I think, I like that. I like that

403
00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:47.480
there's I like that. That's kind
of a that's an eloquent solution. I

404
00:28:47.519 --> 00:28:48.680
just don't know if it will work. I need to ask them because that

405
00:28:48.680 --> 00:28:52.200
would there really would be awe.
Wouldn't that be odd? I would think

406
00:28:52.240 --> 00:28:55.200
that would be awesome? Then I'm
not. Then all I'm doing is someone

407
00:28:55.279 --> 00:28:57.119
is paying for me to broadcast on
that one platform. I turn on the

408
00:28:57.119 --> 00:29:02.359
microphone, broadcast on that platform,
and if the giving goes away, then

409
00:29:02.400 --> 00:29:04.720
I don't broadcast on that platform,
and then we end the podcast and everyone

410
00:29:04.759 --> 00:29:10.319
moves on. That's simple, right, I like that. I just don't

411
00:29:10.359 --> 00:29:14.559
know. I don't know if that
will work, but we'll cross that bridge.

412
00:29:14.640 --> 00:29:18.680
But in the meantime, Church one
is ready and active and good to

413
00:29:18.759 --> 00:29:26.599
go. Hopefully you will utilize it. Hopefully more updates are coming, and

414
00:29:26.680 --> 00:29:30.079
we'll be looking for an update to
the Sermon's two point oh app. Don't

415
00:29:30.079 --> 00:29:33.400
know when. We don't know when
that's happening. Yesterday, I was surprised

416
00:29:33.440 --> 00:29:37.000
to see the Church one update,
so I was like, wow, that

417
00:29:37.200 --> 00:29:42.160
that came quickly, so I'd heard
about it now I was already there.

418
00:29:42.240 --> 00:29:45.640
So we'll see if we hear about
the Sermon's two point oh one and then

419
00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:49.400
once it's available, so be looking
for it on both cases, because what

420
00:29:49.559 --> 00:29:55.000
we're hoping for in the Sermon's two
point oh app update whenever that happens,

421
00:29:55.000 --> 00:30:00.359
we're hoping for notifications. That's what
we're hoping because then people, whether they're

422
00:30:00.440 --> 00:30:03.920
using Sermon's two point zero or whether
they're using Church one, can have it

423
00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:08.000
set up that they receive notifications when
I'm going live, and so then maybe

424
00:30:08.039 --> 00:30:11.519
you won't even need the Church one
app. Maybe at that point the Church

425
00:30:11.559 --> 00:30:17.400
one app becomes a little bit more
irrelevant, maybe it becomes almost obsolete.

426
00:30:17.519 --> 00:30:22.960
I don't know. I mean,
look, if people can get to the

427
00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:26.519
content and it's all laid out nicely, then it doesn't really matter which app

428
00:30:26.559 --> 00:30:30.160
they're utilizing. I like people having
that option because some people don't want two

429
00:30:30.200 --> 00:30:33.000
apps on their mobile device. You
know they don't, and I understand that.

430
00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:37.359
So we will see. But that's
kind of the update today. I

431
00:30:37.400 --> 00:30:41.839
just wanted to kind of get that
out again. This has gone thirty minutes,

432
00:30:41.880 --> 00:30:44.599
see talking about all of that as
I couldn't have done that on any

433
00:30:44.640 --> 00:30:47.920
other broadcast. It would have just
messed up everything. So there you have

434
00:30:47.960 --> 00:30:52.920
it. The Church one app is
updated. Go run the update. Now,

435
00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:56.839
go to your Apple your app store
of choice, which should be Apple,

436
00:30:56.880 --> 00:31:00.240
but okay, go to your app
store of choice. Look for Church

437
00:31:00.279 --> 00:31:03.839
one hit update. Once you update
it, you're going to have to do

438
00:31:03.839 --> 00:31:07.119
the onboarding process again. It's going
to be all wiped out. Then you'll

439
00:31:07.200 --> 00:31:11.680
type in theology Central Boom, choose
me as your broadcaster, make sure all

440
00:31:11.680 --> 00:31:15.640
the notifications are on. Go under
settings, make sure all the notifications are

441
00:31:15.680 --> 00:31:21.200
turned on, and then and then
you can go with dark mode if you

442
00:31:21.200 --> 00:31:22.279
want to go with dark mode,
or you can go with the light mode,

443
00:31:22.319 --> 00:31:26.680
whichever one looks best to you.
And then you can start messing around

444
00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:30.200
with the search functionality to see if
you feel like it's improved if you've used

445
00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:37.519
the old one. And there you
go, and we'll see how everything plays

446
00:31:37.559 --> 00:31:40.960
out in the rest of twenty twenty
four. This year is going to be

447
00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:47.839
done. And I remember I was
very concern the end of twenty twenty three.

448
00:31:48.200 --> 00:31:52.559
We made every kind of cut that
we can make to preserve and make

449
00:31:52.599 --> 00:31:56.559
sure we can make it, and
we've done very well making it. And

450
00:31:56.599 --> 00:32:00.400
thank you for those who have supported
because it's been very helpful beneficial. Now

451
00:32:00.440 --> 00:32:05.839
what we have to transition out of
is the next transition is no more church.

452
00:32:07.359 --> 00:32:10.400
This is just a podcast completely separated
from a church. It's not if

453
00:32:10.440 --> 00:32:14.680
this is not anything to do with
a church. It's just a podcast and

454
00:32:14.720 --> 00:32:20.839
a podcast that's it. Now,
how do we work this so the money

455
00:32:21.119 --> 00:32:24.759
can be handled in a way that's
to me. I want my hands off

456
00:32:24.799 --> 00:32:29.519
of it. That goes directly to
Sermonadio, and then that pays for this.

457
00:32:29.960 --> 00:32:32.240
That would be perfect. So if
we can figure out a system like

458
00:32:32.319 --> 00:32:36.920
that, we will, all right, And so it would be great.

459
00:32:36.920 --> 00:32:39.039
It would be great if we could. I know, in theory, like

460
00:32:39.079 --> 00:32:44.759
if I'm dreaming, all the money
comes into the church before it closes down,

461
00:32:44.960 --> 00:32:46.559
and then I'm like, okay,
then I contact Sermonadio. Hey,

462
00:32:46.720 --> 00:32:51.440
here's the money for one year.
Can you apply it to my account?

463
00:32:51.599 --> 00:32:52.799
Yes? Okay, good, all
right. Then we don't have to worry

464
00:32:52.839 --> 00:32:58.240
about it to the end of twenty
twenty five. And then by that point

465
00:32:58.559 --> 00:33:04.759
then I may say the end,
I did my best, with my failures,

466
00:33:05.160 --> 00:33:08.920
with my mistakes, with the good, with the bad, it's it's

467
00:33:09.000 --> 00:33:13.319
it's been what it's been, and
then we call it in like one final

468
00:33:14.400 --> 00:33:19.759
run, one one final push.
So we will see if that's where it

469
00:33:19.799 --> 00:33:22.279
goes. Maybe maybe it ends before
twenty twenty five, we don't know,

470
00:33:22.839 --> 00:33:27.400
but that's kind of where we are, but I think that that's kind of

471
00:33:27.400 --> 00:33:29.839
a lot of updates. That's a
lot of updates, but it all,

472
00:33:29.880 --> 00:33:32.880
it's all interconnected. It's all because
a lot of these changes are happening behind

473
00:33:32.880 --> 00:33:37.799
the scenes, right, So you
don't really if for you you don't see

474
00:33:37.839 --> 00:33:39.559
all you see is someone turns on
the microphone and talks, you don't really

475
00:33:39.599 --> 00:33:44.759
have any connection to all the stuff
behind the scenes. There's a lot going

476
00:33:44.799 --> 00:33:47.720
on behind the scenes. So we
will see. All right, we'll get

477
00:33:47.720 --> 00:33:51.920
that out of the way, and
then I'm gonna try to take a break.

478
00:33:52.480 --> 00:33:59.079
I'll be back, hopefully shortly,
because ladies and gentlemen, I'm gonna

479
00:33:59.119 --> 00:34:07.559
have to make an apollo because I
was wrong about Psalm eighty three. Yeah,

480
00:34:07.800 --> 00:34:12.280
one of those broadcasts, I'm going
to have to say I was wrong,

481
00:34:13.440 --> 00:34:19.800
and I was wrong. After hours
of verifying, it appears I was

482
00:34:19.840 --> 00:34:22.800
wrong. I can explain why I
was wrong, but we will talk about

483
00:34:22.800 --> 00:34:27.719
that in the next live broadcast.
And if you're using the Church one app,

484
00:34:28.400 --> 00:34:31.360
you'll get a notification when I start
that live broadcast, which I hope

485
00:34:31.360 --> 00:34:37.239
to do after a quick break,
a drink of water, turn on the

486
00:34:37.280 --> 00:34:40.880
AC unit behind me. Oh,
and just a last thing, if you

487
00:34:40.960 --> 00:34:44.079
if you know right now, I
don't know if you know what's happened in

488
00:34:44.119 --> 00:34:46.760
Texas, But we got hit by
that hurricane. And there's like three million

489
00:34:46.800 --> 00:34:52.039
people without power right now, and
the heat in some of those areas where

490
00:34:52.079 --> 00:34:57.199
they have no power, it's not
just hot, it's dangerously hot, like

491
00:34:57.519 --> 00:35:00.880
people's lives could be at risk.
It's a very serious situation to certain parts

492
00:35:00.920 --> 00:35:05.440
of Texas. So the path of
it, we were supposed to get a

493
00:35:05.440 --> 00:35:08.880
good portion of, like the after
effects, but it turned and so for

494
00:35:09.079 --> 00:35:13.639
us, we missed all the rain, we missed all the wind, we

495
00:35:13.679 --> 00:35:16.719
missed everything. We just have heat. So and if it's hot for me,

496
00:35:17.360 --> 00:35:21.079
I can't imagine where some of these
people are right now with no power.

497
00:35:21.480 --> 00:35:24.159
That's that's a bad, bad,
bad situation. And for everyone else

498
00:35:24.159 --> 00:35:29.320
who's been impacted by the hurricane,
not just Texas, the Caribbean, parts

499
00:35:29.320 --> 00:35:36.920
of Mexico, some of those places
were completely destroyed. So Texas just massive

500
00:35:36.920 --> 00:35:43.000
flooding and major power outages, with
some with some severe wind damage down in

501
00:35:43.039 --> 00:35:49.920
the Houston Galveston area. So yeah, but so I'm gonna do that and

502
00:35:51.719 --> 00:35:53.880
hopefully we'll try to get a couple
we'll try to get a couple of small

503
00:35:53.880 --> 00:36:00.159
things accomplished today. The next thing
on my agenda saw eighty three. I

504
00:36:00.320 --> 00:36:02.480
was wrong and we'll talk about that
in the next live broadcast. Thanks for

505
00:36:02.519 --> 00:36:04.400
listening, God bless
