faith-based question faith-based question and a church's ad pops to the top and a church's ad pops to the top and a church's ad pops to the top of that you know that listing and that of that you know that listing and that of that you know that listing and that visitor visitor visitor goes to their website that's a warm lead goes to their website that's a warm lead goes to their website that's a warm lead that's actually somebody who was that's actually somebody who was that's actually somebody who was actively looking actively looking actively looking for a solution to a problem or actively for a solution to a problem or actively for a solution to a problem or actively looking for a church looking for a church looking for a church looking for a specific answer to a faith looking for a specific answer to a faith looking for a specific answer to a faith question question question so you know facebook to some degree is so you know facebook to some degree is so you know facebook to some degree is probably probably probably more akin to the old days when we used more akin to the old days when we used more akin to the old days when we used to mail to mail to mail flyers out to everybody's mailbox right flyers out to everybody's mailbox right flyers out to everybody's mailbox right and you hope and you hope and you hope that that uh that it lands in the that that uh that it lands in the that that uh that it lands in the mailbox of somebody who's looking for mailbox of somebody who's looking for mailbox of somebody who's looking for what you offer what you offer what you offer we now we can target in facebook ads we now we can target in facebook ads we now we can target in facebook ads more you know more specifically with more you know more specifically with more you know more specifically with demographics and that sort of thing demographics and that sort of thing demographics and that sort of thing but the advantage to these adword grant but the advantage to these adword grant but the advantage to these adword grant the adword campaigns and you know the adword campaigns and you know the adword campaigns and you know through the google grant through the google grant through the google grant is either these are actually warm leads is either these are actually warm leads is either these are actually warm leads these are people who are actively these are people who are actively these are people who are actively looking for what you as a church have to looking for what you as a church have to looking for what you as a church have to offer absolutely offer absolutely offer absolutely they're searching i mean if they're they're searching i mean if they're they're searching i mean if they're searching you want to be searching you want to be searching you want to be at the top of the list and what we get at the top of the list and what we get at the top of the list and what we get really excited about is driving traffic really excited about is driving traffic really excited about is driving traffic to a to a to a church website that has answers you church website that has answers you church website that has answers you offer hope offer hope offer hope you offer answers you offer jesus most you offer answers you offer jesus most you offer answers you offer jesus most other other other searches don't do that right they're searches don't do that right they're searches don't do that right they're driving them to secular based websites driving them to secular based websites driving them to secular based websites and so that's why i love about the and so that's why i love about the and so that's why i love about the google google google ad grant is that churches can take ad grant is that churches can take ad grant is that churches can take advantage of saying advantage of saying advantage of saying it's free of charge right there's no it's free of charge right there's no it's free of charge right there's no fees fees fees that you're you're not paying google for that you're you're not paying google for that you're you're not paying google for those for those those for those those for those clicks and those advertisements yeah it clicks and those advertisements yeah it clicks and those advertisements yeah it is it is is it is is it is it is a great tool we could actually

than we do on facebook than we do on facebook and we tend to get a slightly and we tend to get a slightly and we tend to get a slightly more male audience than we do in more male audience than we do in more male audience than we do in facebook facebook facebook now you know there's a lot of there's a now you know there's a lot of there's a now you know there's a lot of there's a lot that we could debate about lot that we could debate about lot that we could debate about how to how to market and and who we're how to how to market and and who we're how to how to market and and who we're really targeting really targeting really targeting uh but there are two things that i that uh but there are two things that i that uh but there are two things that i that i believe to be very true i believe to be very true i believe to be very true one is that if you get the husband you one is that if you get the husband you one is that if you get the husband you get the household get the household get the household right um and so making sure that we're right um and so making sure that we're right um and so making sure that we're actually doing this digital outreach actually doing this digital outreach actually doing this digital outreach and advertising on platforms where we're and advertising on platforms where we're and advertising on platforms where we're going to be able to reach men i think is going to be able to reach men i think is going to be able to reach men i think is very important very important very important but i think most church leaders most but i think most church leaders most but i think most church leaders most pastors know that pastors know that pastors know that this is a generalization but that the this is a generalization but that the this is a generalization but that the wife wife wife the mom is most often the one who kind the mom is most often the one who kind the mom is most often the one who kind of decides of decides of decides where the family is going to go to where the family is going to go to where the family is going to go to church she's often the one making that church she's often the one making that church she's often the one making that decision decision decision so if we would never pit one platform so if we would never pit one platform so if we would never pit one platform against the other i think we're more against the other i think we're more against the other i think we're more both both both and kind of people it's actually a good and kind of people it's actually a good and kind of people it's actually a good idea to run idea to run idea to run campaigns in both platforms because campaigns in both platforms because campaigns in both platforms because you're really going to you're really going to you're really going to reach a a broader cross-section reach a a broader cross-section reach a a broader cross-section of of the community and of the people of of the community and of the people of of the community and of the people that you're you're trying to reach so that you're you're trying to reach so that you're you're trying to reach so that's just something that i wanted to that's just something that i wanted to that's just something that i wanted to kind of piggyback on what you're talking kind of piggyback on what you're talking kind of piggyback on what you're talking there about the audiences there about the audiences there about the audiences yeah and and most churches unfortunately yeah and and most churches unfortunately yeah and and most churches unfortunately are growing older are growing older are growing older not younger and so you want to you want not younger and so you want to you want not younger and so you want to you want to be intentional about growing younger to be intentional about growing younger to be intentional about growing younger you have to offer stuff for younger you have to offer stuff for younger you have to offer stuff for younger people people people and make it really attractive and then and make it really attractive and then and make it really attractive and then you got to get in front of them you got to get in front of them you got to get in front of them and yes it's still true
-
and yes it's still true and yes it's still true that younger like millennials they have that younger like millennials they have that younger like millennials they have facebook accounts facebook accounts facebook accounts but they've got so many other accounts but they've got so many other accounts but they've got so many other accounts they barely hit that facebook they barely hit that facebook they barely hit that facebook account versus oh people like us that's account versus oh people like us that's account versus oh people like us that's probably all we have probably all we have probably all we have so the display network is you just hit so the display network is you just hit so the display network is you just hit it i mean we've ran it i mean we've ran it i mean we've ran hundreds and hundreds of campaigns for hundreds and hundreds of campaigns for hundreds and hundreds of campaigns for churches and overall churches and overall churches and overall you're spot on it reaches a younger you're spot on it reaches a younger you're spot on it reaches a younger audience more audience more audience more male dominated and so you got things male dominated and so you got things male dominated and so you got things that you want to that you want to that you want to you know advertise and you know it could you know advertise and you know it could you know advertise and you know it could be an event sermon series conference be an event sermon series conference be an event sermon series conference that kind of stuff that kind of stuff that kind of stuff display network all day long now there's display network all day long now there's display network all day long now there's another platform another platform another platform that can also be used for ads but it's that can also be used for ads but it's that can also be used for ads but it's also used also used also used for other stuff and it's a google tool for other stuff and it's a google tool for other stuff and it's a google tool and a lot of people don't even realize and a lot of people don't even realize and a lot of people don't even realize it's a google tool it's called youtube it's a google tool it's called youtube it's a google tool it's called youtube you've heard of youtube right heard of you've heard of youtube right heard of you've heard of youtube right heard of youtube yeah youtube yeah youtube yeah youtube the second largest search engine youtube the second largest search engine youtube the second largest search engine on the internet right on the internet right on the internet right second to google and of course it's it's second to google and of course it's it's second to google and of course it's it's owned by google now uh owned by google now uh owned by google now uh we're recording this in the summer of we're recording this in the summer of we're recording this in the summer of 2020 and i would venture 2020 and i would venture 2020 and i would venture to say that today churches are a lot to say that today churches are a lot to say that today churches are a lot more in tune more in tune more in tune with what they can do with youtube today with what they can do with youtube today with what they can do with youtube today than they probably were three or four than they probably were three or four than they probably were three or four months ago months ago months ago right why is that you know we just right why is that you know we just right why is that you know we just churches have had to figure out how to churches have had to figure out how to churches have had to figure out how to do do do video in different ways one of the video in different ways one of the video in different ways one of the things that's very exciting to me things that's very exciting to me things that's very exciting to me is that churches in addition to learning is that churches in addition to learning is that churches in addition to learning how to actually how to actually how to actually stream their services through youtube or stream their services through youtube or stream their services through youtube or to post their to post their to post their videos on youtube some churches are videos on youtube some churches are videos on youtube some churches are actually beginning actually beginning actually beginning to realize that they can advertise on
-
to realize that they can advertise on to realize that they can advertise on youtube and youtube and youtube and i think that advertising on youtube is i think that advertising on youtube is i think that advertising on youtube is actually the next actually the next actually the next thing that churches really need to thing that churches really need to thing that churches really need to consider putting into their digital consider putting into their digital consider putting into their digital outreach outreach outreach arsenal can you share a little bit about arsenal can you share a little bit about arsenal can you share a little bit about some of your experience or what you see some of your experience or what you see some of your experience or what you see in in in in in in in youtube advertising yeah yeah in youtube advertising yeah yeah in youtube advertising yeah yeah absolutely well absolutely well absolutely well first and foremost if you don't have a first and foremost if you don't have a first and foremost if you don't have a youtube channel youtube channel youtube channel get yourself a youtube channel it's free get yourself a youtube channel it's free get yourself a youtube channel it's free set it up and populate it add every s set it up and populate it add every s set it up and populate it add every s go back in time and add all your sermons go back in time and add all your sermons go back in time and add all your sermons on there and take advantage of on there and take advantage of on there and take advantage of the tagging that you can do inside of the tagging that you can do inside of the tagging that you can do inside of youtube youtube youtube why would you not do this like that why would you not do this like that why would you not do this like that that's it you just mentioned it's the that's it you just mentioned it's the that's it you just mentioned it's the second largest search engine second largest search engine second largest search engine i kind of i shake my head sometimes and i kind of i shake my head sometimes and i kind of i shake my head sometimes and churches go oh we don't use youtube we churches go oh we don't use youtube we churches go oh we don't use youtube we use vimeo use vimeo use vimeo oh okay no that's you have to use oh okay no that's you have to use oh okay no that's you have to use youtube youtube youtube you don't have to use youtube on your you don't have to use youtube on your you don't have to use youtube on your website website website you can use youtube or vimeo that's fine you can use youtube or vimeo that's fine you can use youtube or vimeo that's fine but you definitely want to make sure but you definitely want to make sure but you definitely want to make sure you're putting you're putting you're putting all of your sermons and videos on all of your sermons and videos on all of your sermons and videos on youtube okay so that's just the first youtube okay so that's just the first youtube okay so that's just the first thing youtube channel thing youtube channel thing youtube channel now as bart was saying advertising in now as bart was saying advertising in now as bart was saying advertising in youtube is incredibly powerful youtube is incredibly powerful youtube is incredibly powerful because there's so many more things you because there's so many more things you because there's so many more things you can do inside of youtube can do inside of youtube can do inside of youtube for example you can have ads that that for example you can have ads that that for example you can have ads that that run before like somebody's you know run before like somebody's you know run before like somebody's you know searching something they click they want searching something they click they want searching something they click they want to watch a video and maybe it's a silly to watch a video and maybe it's a silly to watch a video and maybe it's a silly video or whatnot video or whatnot video or whatnot uh you still have the ability to run a uh you still have the ability to run a uh you still have the ability to run a pre pre pre roll like a 5 second or 15 second or 30 roll like a 5 second or 15 second or 30 roll like a 5 second or 15 second or 30 second ad or you can do something in the second ad or you can do something in the second ad or you can do something in the middle of the video middle of the video middle of the video something at the end of the video like

and one of the prime things that we saw and one of the prime things that we saw when in march when in march when in march if you went into google trends today if you went into google trends today if you went into google trends today and you uh put in the term and you uh put in the term and you uh put in the term prayer request there was a day like prayer request there was a day like prayer request there was a day like three weeks into march three weeks into march three weeks into march when covid was like hitting that people when covid was like hitting that people when covid was like hitting that people people were panicking right people were panicking right people were panicking right and the search term prayer request went and the search term prayer request went and the search term prayer request went from like from like from like zero interest to a hundred percent zero interest to a hundred percent zero interest to a hundred percent interest in a matter of a day interest in a matter of a day interest in a matter of a day because people were losing their jobs because people were losing their jobs because people were losing their jobs people were fearful people people were fearful people people were fearful people you know people didn't know where to you know people didn't know where to you know people didn't know where to turn they turned to google turn they turned to google turn they turned to google and that's the most amazing thing to me and that's the most amazing thing to me and that's the most amazing thing to me right i sat with a pastor one time we right i sat with a pastor one time we right i sat with a pastor one time we were planning some content that he was were planning some content that he was were planning some content that he was looking at put on his website looking at put on his website looking at put on his website and we searched the phrase how can i be and we searched the phrase how can i be and we searched the phrase how can i be saved saved saved and and this pastor got emotional as he and and this pastor got emotional as he and and this pastor got emotional as he saw the interest level on that phrase saw the interest level on that phrase saw the interest level on that phrase he's like he's like he's like people are going to google to get the people are going to google to get the people are going to google to get the answer to that question answer to that question answer to that question they're not coming to the local church they're not coming to the local church they're not coming to the local church first that's why first that's why first that's why the local church has to show up in the local church has to show up in the local church has to show up in google period absolutely google period absolutely google period absolutely yeah i mean just to kind of piggyback on yeah i mean just to kind of piggyback on yeah i mean just to kind of piggyback on what you just said i mean you you know what you just said i mean you you know what you just said i mean you you know when covet broke it was about when covet broke it was about when covet broke it was about forgiveness forgiveness forgiveness people were afraid that they're gonna people were afraid that they're gonna people were afraid that they're gonna die and so they're like i need to get die and so they're like i need to get die and so they're like i need to get right with god right with god right with god if they don't even they may not even if they don't even they may not even if they don't even they may not even know who he is right they've heard of know who he is right they've heard of know who he is right they've heard of god they've heard of jesus but they've god they've heard of jesus but they've god they've heard of jesus but they've never been to church never been to church never been to church uh another one these days is anxiety uh another one these days is anxiety uh another one these days is anxiety and it makes sense it's like okay people and it makes sense it's like okay people and it makes sense it's like okay people are dealing with kobe they're dealing are dealing with kobe they're dealing are dealing with kobe they're dealing with uh with uh with uh all the tensions politically in our all the tensions politically in our all the tensions politically in our nation and all the stuff that's going on
