person in this Church's question average person in this Church's question average attendance 100 and we cannot afford attendance 100 and we cannot afford attendance 100 and we cannot afford full-time tech people to me the first full-time tech people to me the first full-time tech people to me the first two mistakes would be choosing a website two mistakes would be choosing a website two mistakes would be choosing a website builder that will be confusing or builder that will be confusing or builder that will be confusing or frustrating for your existing team to frustrating for your existing team to frustrating for your existing team to manage and as an extension to that the manage and as an extension to that the manage and as an extension to that the second mistake would be choosing a second mistake would be choosing a second mistake would be choosing a website builder that Above All Else website builder that Above All Else website builder that Above All Else emphasizes flexibility now what I mean emphasizes flexibility now what I mean emphasizes flexibility now what I mean by that is that when you're building a by that is that when you're building a by that is that when you're building a website builder you are as the creator website builder you are as the creator website builder you are as the creator of it making decisions on what you want of it making decisions on what you want of it making decisions on what you want to deliver to the people that use the to deliver to the people that use the to deliver to the people that use the platform and you're always balancing platform and you're always balancing platform and you're always balancing these decisions so on the one end of the these decisions so on the one end of the these decisions so on the one end of the spectrum you would have very severe spectrum you would have very severe spectrum you would have very severe limitations on flexibility limitations on flexibility limitations on flexibility but the trade-off would be any person but the trade-off would be any person but the trade-off would be any person could use it sure and you would almost could use it sure and you would almost could use it sure and you would almost certainly always create certainly always create certainly always create beautiful web design people could get beautiful web design people could get beautiful web design people could get frustrated on that extreme side of the frustrated on that extreme side of the frustrated on that extreme side of the spectrum where they'd be like I just spectrum where they'd be like I just spectrum where they'd be like I just want to be able to do more can I do this want to be able to do more can I do this want to be able to do more can I do this like well no we can't do this why why like well no we can't do this why why like well no we can't do this why why haven't you built that feature well it's haven't you built that feature well it's haven't you built that feature well it's kind of hard to explain but the reason kind of hard to explain but the reason kind of hard to explain but the reason that feature does not exist is because that feature does not exist is because that feature does not exist is because if it existed it would create all of if it existed it would create all of if it existed it would create all of these potential variable outcomes to these potential variable outcomes to these potential variable outcomes to which you could take advantage of and which you could take advantage of and which you could take advantage of and then create something that doesn't look then create something that doesn't look then create something that doesn't look so great and if we're trying to create a so great and if we're trying to create a so great and if we're trying to create a website builder for a church of 100 that website builder for a church of 100 that website builder for a church of 100 that does not have too much expertise in web does not have too much expertise in web does not have too much expertise in web a website design but has to do it a website design but has to do it a website design but has to do it themselves then we want to limit their themselves then we want to limit their themselves then we want to limit their ability because a complete blank canvas ability because a complete blank canvas ability because a complete blank canvas would not serve them well on the other would not serve them well on the other would not serve them well on the other end of the spectrum you have something end of the spectrum you have something end of the spectrum you have something like WordPress sure like WordPress sure like WordPress sure you can do anything literally anything

you can do anything literally anything you can do anything literally anything anything you want yeah anything you want yeah anything you want yeah in your efforts to do that you will in your efforts to do that you will in your efforts to do that you will almost certainly break things you will almost certainly break things you will almost certainly break things you will create things that don't look good you create things that don't look good you create things that don't look good you will create things that don't work well will create things that don't work well will create things that don't work well and don't serve your church well and so and don't serve your church well and so and don't serve your church well and so maybe like both ends of the extreme are maybe like both ends of the extreme are maybe like both ends of the extreme are probably not useful for a church it probably not useful for a church it probably not useful for a church it sounds like for this church they'd want sounds like for this church they'd want sounds like for this church they'd want to be on the side of the spectrum that's to be on the side of the spectrum that's to be on the side of the spectrum that's closer to limited options but with a closer to limited options but with a closer to limited options but with a greater predictable outcome that they're greater predictable outcome that they're greater predictable outcome that they're going to have something that's great going to have something that's great going to have something that's great sure and especially in a in a smaller sure and especially in a in a smaller sure and especially in a in a smaller Church like this uh average attendance Church like this uh average attendance Church like this uh average attendance around 100 people at similar size to my around 100 people at similar size to my around 100 people at similar size to my church and to the questioner this I know church and to the questioner this I know church and to the questioner this I know it feels like a small church but that's it feels like a small church but that's it feels like a small church but that's a that's a pretty large church that's a that's a pretty large church that's a that's a pretty large church that's bigger than the average Church size in bigger than the average Church size in bigger than the average Church size in North America right now but I do know in North America right now but I do know in North America right now but I do know in churches that size that experience with churches that size that experience with churches that size that experience with building websites especially like custom building websites especially like custom building websites especially like custom websites or building with words websites or building with words websites or building with words WordPress is surely limited and maybe WordPress is surely limited and maybe WordPress is surely limited and maybe time as a resource and money as a time as a resource and money as a time as a resource and money as a resource is also limited so it's resource is also limited so it's resource is also limited so it's possible that you're giving the possible that you're giving the possible that you're giving the responsibility to build this website to responsibility to build this website to responsibility to build this website to a volunteer or someone who is new to a volunteer or someone who is new to a volunteer or someone who is new to building Church websites and so like you building Church websites and so like you building Church websites and so like you said braid for a church like this which said braid for a church like this which said braid for a church like this which is most a church of this size is most is most a church of this size is most is most a church of this size is most like most churches in the world like most churches in the world like most churches in the world especially in North America especially in North America especially in North America Church website builder that leans to the Church website builder that leans to the Church website builder that leans to the one side of the Spectrum which is the one side of the Spectrum which is the one side of the Spectrum which is the other side of the opposite side of the other side of the opposite side of the other side of the opposite side of the spectrum of Wordpress is likely going to spectrum of Wordpress is likely going to spectrum of Wordpress is likely going to make this job easier for whoever gets make this job easier for whoever gets make this job easier for whoever gets the job and result in a better Church the job and result in a better Church the job and result in a better Church website for your church so we obviously website for your church so we obviously website for your church so we obviously have our own Church website builder it's have our own Church website builder it's have our own Church website builder it's called nucleus the premium Church called nucleus the premium Church called nucleus the premium Church website builder for small and mid-sized

website builder for small and mid-sized website builder for small and mid-sized churches and so this question is is very churches and so this question is is very churches and so this question is is very important to me because we build nucleus important to me because we build nucleus important to me because we build nucleus exactly for this kind of church and one exactly for this kind of church and one exactly for this kind of church and one of the principles of nucleus that we of the principles of nucleus that we of the principles of nucleus that we talk about with the churches that use talk about with the churches that use talk about with the churches that use our platform but we talk about our platform but we talk about our platform but we talk about internally with our team is we want you internally with our team is we want you internally with our team is we want you to feel like you can create with to feel like you can create with to feel like you can create with confidence meaning you can get into the confidence meaning you can get into the confidence meaning you can get into the website builder as someone that has no website builder as someone that has no website builder as someone that has no experience in this world and create experience in this world and create experience in this world and create something and then feel like hey I was something and then feel like hey I was something and then feel like hey I was able to make something good now that able to make something good now that able to make something good now that necessitates limiting some features we necessitates limiting some features we necessitates limiting some features we just released the new version of nucleus just released the new version of nucleus just released the new version of nucleus and it is tremendously more robust than and it is tremendously more robust than and it is tremendously more robust than the previous version of nucleus and so the previous version of nucleus and so the previous version of nucleus and so we're kind of like pushing the we're kind of like pushing the we're kind of like pushing the boundaries ourselves of like okay we boundaries ourselves of like okay we boundaries ourselves of like okay we want to give churches more options but want to give churches more options but want to give churches more options but we don't want to give them so many we don't want to give them so many we don't want to give them so many options complete flexibility now that options complete flexibility now that options complete flexibility now that being said we also have like embed being said we also have like embed being said we also have like embed sections and custom code and so there sections and custom code and so there sections and custom code and so there are some folks in the nucleus uh family are some folks in the nucleus uh family are some folks in the nucleus uh family of users that really go all out and of users that really go all out and of users that really go all out and creates things that's best because they creates things that's best because they creates things that's best because they know a lot more than I do for sure of know a lot more than I do for sure of know a lot more than I do for sure of creating custom outcomes with their creating custom outcomes with their creating custom outcomes with their website so that kind of talks about like website so that kind of talks about like website so that kind of talks about like choosing your website builder let's talk choosing your website builder let's talk choosing your website builder let's talk about the design of the site itself now about the design of the site itself now about the design of the site itself now so mistake number three would be

two what are your top okay question two what are your top okay question two what are your top three leadership tips okay so I was three leadership tips okay so I was three leadership tips okay so I was thinking about this this morning you thinking about this this morning you thinking about this this morning you know leading a team of roughly 30 at know leading a team of roughly 30 at know leading a team of roughly 30 at this point starting with zero kind of this point starting with zero kind of this point starting with zero kind of just leading myself and so uh in no just leading myself and so uh in no just leading myself and so uh in no particular order the first one is don't particular order the first one is don't particular order the first one is don't take yourself too seriously when you're take yourself too seriously when you're take yourself too seriously when you're leading uh any group people whether it leading uh any group people whether it leading uh any group people whether it is yourself or 30 or 300 whatever it is yourself or 30 or 300 whatever it is yourself or 30 or 300 whatever it might be there are going to be moments might be there are going to be moments might be there are going to be moments of conflict there are going to be of conflict there are going to be of conflict there are going to be moments of tension and I think the moments of tension and I think the moments of tension and I think the leaders that struggle the most with this leaders that struggle the most with this leaders that struggle the most with this are the ones that have the biggest ego are the ones that have the biggest ego are the ones that have the biggest ego and the ones that really take themselves and the ones that really take themselves and the ones that really take themselves so seriously because they think that so seriously because they think that so seriously because they think that they are all that and look if you are a they are all that and look if you are a they are all that and look if you are a leader if you are someone that's doing leader if you are someone that's doing leader if you are someone that's doing something that you know you feel like something that you know you feel like something that you know you feel like truly matters you have to have a certain truly matters you have to have a certain truly matters you have to have a certain belief in yourself and as an belief in yourself and as an belief in yourself and as an entrepreneur on this side of things I

entrepreneur on this side of things I entrepreneur on this side of things I always say like you have to have a always say like you have to have a always say like you have to have a little bit of like self-delusion to little bit of like self-delusion to little bit of like self-delusion to think that you can like do something think that you can like do something think that you can like do something that most people would never consider that most people would never consider that most people would never consider trying so you have to be like a little trying so you have to be like a little trying so you have to be like a little delusional but at the same point you delusional but at the same point you delusional but at the same point you can't take yourself so serious obviously can't take yourself so serious obviously can't take yourself so serious obviously that when you're having personal that when you're having personal that when you're having personal conflict with somebody else that you conflict with somebody else that you conflict with somebody else that you can't get past your own ego and can't get past your own ego and can't get past your own ego and this probably doesn't crop up at the this probably doesn't crop up at the this probably doesn't crop up at the beginning of most things right like beginning of most things right like beginning of most things right like there's always that honeymoon period for there's always that honeymoon period for there's always that honeymoon period for virtually anything and so even when virtually anything and so even when virtually anything and so even when you're in a new church you know you you're in a new church you know you you're in a new church you know you might have like two three years where might have like two three years where might have like two three years where things are pretty good because it's just things are pretty good because it's just things are pretty good because it's just like it's new and you've got all these like it's new and you've got all these like it's new and you've got all these exciting things happening and it's fresh exciting things happening and it's fresh exciting things happening and it's fresh and then eventually that freshness wears and then eventually that freshness wears and then eventually that freshness wears off and maybe you have your first kind off and maybe you have your first kind off and maybe you have your first kind of bigger conflict with your senior of bigger conflict with your senior of bigger conflict with your senior leader or you have one of your first leader or you have one of your first leader or you have one of your first bigger conflicts with a parishioner in bigger conflicts with a parishioner in bigger conflicts with a parishioner in your church or someone below you on the your church or someone below you on the your church or someone below you on the leadership hierarchy in your ministry leadership hierarchy in your ministry leadership hierarchy in your ministry and suddenly now this is when you're and suddenly now this is when you're and suddenly now this is when you're really put to the test and so I always really put to the test and so I always really put to the test and so I always try to remind myself okay don't take try to remind myself okay don't take try to remind myself okay don't take yourself too seriously at the end of the yourself too seriously at the end of the yourself too seriously at the end of the day you know you have to be you know day you know you have to be you know day you know you have to be you know working this out with this person to working this out with this person to working this out with this person to provide for long-term uh success in the provide for long-term uh success in the provide for long-term uh success in the relationship second thing is to make relationship second thing is to make relationship second thing is to make values-based decisions values-based decisions values-based decisions so we hear this from a lot I've been so we hear this from a lot I've been so we hear this from a lot I've been looking through all the questions we got looking through all the questions we got looking through all the questions we got during this uh during this kind of during this uh during this kind of during this uh during this kind of contest period and a lot of people just contest period and a lot of people just contest period and a lot of people just asking the question like how how do I asking the question like how how do I asking the question like how how do I get my pastor to like see the value in X get my pastor to like see the value in X get my pastor to like see the value in X yeah or like why why what do you do when yeah or like why why what do you do when yeah or like why why what do you do when a pastor like just keeps doing why and a pastor like just keeps doing why and a pastor like just keeps doing why and my best guess is that for those that are

my best guess is that for those that are my best guess is that for those that are a little bit confounded by their senior a little bit confounded by their senior a little bit confounded by their senior leaders decision making that stems from leaders decision making that stems from leaders decision making that stems from them not seeing what are the values that them not seeing what are the values that them not seeing what are the values that are inspiring this decision and things are inspiring this decision and things are inspiring this decision and things go really smoothly in a church when the go really smoothly in a church when the go really smoothly in a church when the mission is clear the mission is mission is clear the mission is mission is clear the mission is articulated and understood by both the articulated and understood by both the articulated and understood by both the staff the leadership and the staff the leadership and the staff the leadership and the congregation and then decisions can be congregation and then decisions can be congregation and then decisions can be tied back to those values and that tied back to those values and that tied back to those values and that mission we spent money in this way mission we spent money in this way mission we spent money in this way because this is our mission and we because this is our mission and we because this is our mission and we believe that the best way to fulfill believe that the best way to fulfill believe that the best way to fulfill that mission is to make a decision in that mission is to make a decision in that mission is to make a decision in this way when you make a values-based this way when you make a values-based this way when you make a values-based decision people may disagree with how decision people may disagree with how decision people may disagree with how you arrived at that but they they you arrived at that but they they you arrived at that but they they understand your line of reasoning understand your line of reasoning understand your line of reasoning and if you're trying to build a culture and if you're trying to build a culture and if you're trying to build a culture if you're trying to like you know bring if you're trying to like you know bring if you're trying to like you know bring a group of people in a certain way and a group of people in a certain way and a group of people in a certain way and look leading a church is difficult look leading a church is difficult look leading a church is difficult because basically every single week you because basically every single week you because basically every single week you arrive and you say to people look you arrive and you say to people look you arrive and you say to people look you need to die need to die need to die and they're like well I prefer not to and they're like well I prefer not to and they're like well I prefer not to and you say well unfortunately this book and you say well unfortunately this book and you say well unfortunately this book says we must yeah the Lord Jesus says we says we must yeah the Lord Jesus says we says we must yeah the Lord Jesus says we must and so if you want to do something must and so if you want to do something must and so if you want to do something that is that uh difficult frankly right that is that uh difficult frankly right that is that uh difficult frankly right like Bible talks about how difficult it like Bible talks about how difficult it like Bible talks about how difficult it is you know the straight and narrow path is you know the straight and narrow path is you know the straight and narrow path uh the Narrow Path if it was white it uh the Narrow Path if it was white it uh the Narrow Path if it was white it would be easy uh you need to be able to would be easy uh you need to be able to would be easy uh you need to be able to make values-based decisions communicate make values-based decisions communicate make values-based decisions communicate that and then at the very least you have that and then at the very least you have that and then at the very least you have your church and the rest of your staff your church and the rest of your staff your church and the rest of your staff being like okay I don't know if this is being like okay I don't know if this is being like okay I don't know if this is going to work out but this is who we say going to work out but this is who we say going to work out but this is who we say we are we made the decision based on we are we made the decision based on we are we made the decision based on that and I can understand that I can that and I can understand that I can that and I can understand that I can speak to the benefit of that a little speak to the benefit of that a little speak to the benefit of that a little bit the last few years here at Pro bit the last few years here at Pro bit the last few years here at Pro Church tools we've done a lot of growing Church

tips are so important important to me is tips are so important important to me is because the longer that I've been in a because the longer that I've been in a because the longer that I've been in a position of leadership roughly 10 years position of leadership roughly 10 years position of leadership roughly 10 years now my entire adult life the longer that now my entire adult life the longer that now my entire adult life the longer that I've been in it I've been in it I've been in it the more that I realize a lot of times the more that I realize a lot of times the more that I realize a lot of times you want to take like a step forward or you want to take like a step forward or you want to take like a step forward or two steps forward but you cannot take two steps forward but you cannot take two steps forward but you cannot take infinitely steps forward you have to infinitely steps forward you have to infinitely steps forward you have to pause at certain points along the pause at certain points along the pause at certain points along the journey you have to take steps back at journey you have to take steps back at journey you have to take steps back at certain points along the journey so that certain points along the journey so that certain points along the journey so that you can continue uh the journey we were you can continue uh the journey we were you can continue uh the journey we were talking in last week's episode or talking in last week's episode or talking in last week's episode or previous episode about pastors taking previous episode about pastors taking previous episode about pastors taking days off yeah and I got a DM from an old days off yeah and I got a DM from an old days off yeah and I got a DM from an old friend of mine who uh is a pastor's kid friend of mine who uh is a pastor's kid friend of mine who uh is a pastor's kid he's maybe a decade older than I am five he's maybe a decade older than I am five he's maybe a decade older than I am five years older than I am and he was talking years older than I am and he was talking years older than I am and he was talking about in the seasons of growth at his about in the seasons of growth at his about in the seasons of growth at his church that he lived through many he church that he lived through many he church that he lived through many he always remembers the work ethic of the always remembers the work ethic of the always remembers the work ethic of the pastors and how much dedication they put pastors and how much dedication they put pastors and how much dedication they put in and he said there were also pastors in and he said there were also pastors in and he said there were also pastors that we had that were very much like that we had that were very much like that we had that were very much like they were just fine to kind of like they were just fine to kind of like they were just fine to kind of like collect the paycheck and and do the job collect the paycheck and and do the job collect the paycheck and and do the job but you know not with great uh not with but you know not with great uh not with but you know not with great uh not with great fervor let's say great fervor let's say great fervor let's say and and his point was like like to do and and his point was like like to do and and his point was like like to do anything good you have to like go all anything good you have to like go all anything good you have to like go all out and what I said and I'm not sure if out and what I said and I'm not sure if out and what I said and I'm not sure if I was pushing back or just making sure I I was pushing back or just making sure I I was pushing back or just making sure I was clarifying what I believed I was was clarifying what I believed I was was clarifying what I believed I was like I also know that to build something like I also know that to build something like I also know that to build something to do something great you have to work to do something great you have to work to do something great you have to work extremely hard but the working hard can extremely hard but the working hard can extremely hard but the working hard can take place over 10 years instead of one take place over 10 years instead of one take place over 10 years instead of one and I have this quote on my chalkboard and I have this quote on my chalkboard and I have this quote on my chalkboard wall in my office it says it's very easy

wall in my office it says it's very easy wall in my office it says it's very easy to overestimate what we can accomplish to overestimate what we can accomplish to overestimate what we can accomplish in one year and underestimate what we in one year and underestimate what we in one year and underestimate what we can accomplish in 10 years and what we can accomplish in 10 years and what we can accomplish in 10 years and what we see with people burning out is you know see with people burning out is you know see with people burning out is you know Icarus flying too close to the Sun the Icarus flying too close to the Sun the Icarus flying too close to the Sun the you know the match that burns too bright you know the match that burns too bright you know the match that burns too bright it extinguishes faster and so you kind it extinguishes faster and so you kind it extinguishes faster and so you kind of have to like get as close as you can of have to like get as close as you can of have to like get as close as you can to going all out with enough margin that to going all out with enough margin that to going all out with enough margin that you're not overextending yourself so you you're not overextending yourself so you you're not overextending yourself so you can go out go all out for like let's say can go out go all out for like let's say can go out go all out for like let's say you go 80 all out for 10 years or you you go 80 all out for 10 years or you you go 80 all out for 10 years or you can go 100 all out for three can go 100 all out for three can go 100 all out for three let me give you a really nerdy analogy let me give you a really nerdy analogy let me give you a really nerdy analogy fast okay so uh one of my favorite books fast okay so uh one of my favorite books fast okay so uh one of my favorite books that I read this year was Peter attia's that I read this year was Peter attia's that I read this year was Peter attia's outlive and in that book he talks about outlive and in that book he talks about outlive and in that book he talks about the mitochondria which are kind of like the mitochondria which are kind of like the mitochondria which are kind of like this Powerhouse of the cell that exists this Powerhouse of the cell that exists this Powerhouse of the cell that exists in the human body and the mitochondria in the human body and the mitochondria in the human body and the mitochondria what they do is they basically take what they do is they basically take what they do is they basically take glucose and the food that you intake and glucose and the food that you intake and glucose and the food that you intake and they turn it into ATP or energy that they turn it into ATP or energy that they turn it into ATP or energy that your body can use to do things and he your body can use to do things and he your body can use to do things and he says one of the Hallmarks of longevity says one of the Hallmarks of longevity says one of the Hallmarks of longevity not meaning how long you live but how not meaning how long you live but how not meaning how long you live but how well you live for whatever many years well you live for whatever many years well you live for whatever many years you get is you get is you get is training these mitochondria to be as uh training these mitochondria to be as uh training these mitochondria to be as uh you know powerful as they can be that's you know powerful as they can be that's you know powerful as they can be that's one of the you know Hallmarks of you one of the you know Hallmarks of you one of the you know Hallmarks of you know the final decade of your life being know the final decade of your life being know the final decade of your life being a healthy a healthy one and not one that a healthy a healthy one and not one that a healthy a healthy one and not one that most of us experience right now which is most of us experience right now which is most of us experience right now which is you know quite quite sad and lonely and you know quite quite sad and lonely and you know quite quite sad and lonely and ouchy ouchy ouchy so he says what we want to do is we want so he says what we want to do is we want so he says what we want to do is we want to train the mitochondria and he says to train the mitochondria and he says to train the mitochondria and he says the way to do this is what is called the way to do this is what is called the way to do this is what is called Zone 2 cardio and Zone 2 cardio is like Zone 2 cardio and Zone 2 cardio is like Zone 2 cardio and Zone 2 cardio is like not um this is not zone two like you

not um this is not zone two like you not um this is not zone two like you would see on your treadmill have you would see on your treadmill have you would see on your treadmill have you ever been on a treadmill it's like zone ever been on a treadmill it's like zone ever been on a treadmill it's like zone two heartbeat related it's not heart two heartbeat related it's not heart two heartbeat related it's not heart rate related in fact one of the only rate related in fact one of the only rate related in fact one of the only ways to properly measure it is through a ways to properly measure it is through a ways to properly measure it is through a lactate meter and what happens is as you lactate meter and what happens is as you lactate meter and what happens is as you are doing any type of exercise your body are doing any type of exercise your body are doing any type of exercise your body is producing lactate and there is a is producing lactate and there is a is producing lactate and there is a certain uh level of lactate in your cell certain uh level of lactate in your cell certain uh level of lactate in your cell or in your blood part of me that when or in your blood part of me that when or in your blood part of me that when you exceed that level you're no longer you exceed that level you're no longer you exceed that level you're no longer working out your mitochondria your working out your mitochondria your working out your mitochondria your mitochondria has kind of exceeded its mitochondria has kind of exceeded its mitochondria has kind of exceeded its capacity and you start kind of going capacity and you start kind of going capacity and you start kind of going into other stores of your body to get into other stores of your body to get into other stores of your body to get the energy that you need and so what you the energy that you need and so what you the energy that you need and so what you can do is you can actually get this can do is you can actually get this can do is you can actually get this lactate meter spoiler alert I got one lactate meter spoiler alert I got one lactate meter spoiler alert I got one and you can do a certain exercise and and you can do a certain exercise and and you can do a certain exercise and then you can prick your finger with a then you can prick your finger with a then you can prick your finger with a Lancet test the blood and you can see Lancet test the blood and you can see Lancet test the blood and you can see where your lactate is in your blood to where your lactate is in your blood to where your lactate is in your blood to confirm if you're working too hard or if confirm if you're working too hard or if confirm if you're working too hard or if you're right in that sweet spot and for you're right in that sweet spot and for you're right in that sweet spot and for those that care it's like 1.7 minimal those that care it's like 1.7 minimal those that care it's like 1.7 minimal per liter of blood to 1.9 you don't want per liter of blood to 1.9 you don't want per liter of blood to 1.9 you don't want to exceed two to exceed two to exceed two nothing I say here should be taken as nothing I say here should be taken as nothing I say here should be taken as any type of at least this is my very any type of at least this is my very any type of at least this is my very basic understanding of how it works the basic understanding of how it works the basic understanding of how it works the point is there's this level where if you point is there's this level where if you point is there's this level where if you work too hard you're defeating the work too hard you're defeating the work too hard you're defeating the purpose of like what you're trying to purpose of like what you're trying to purpose of like what you're trying to train right right and so you're actually train right right and so you're actually train right right and so you're actually purposefully limiting your effort so purposefully limiting your effort so purposefully limiting your effort so that you can like train this thing that you can like train this thing that you can like train this thing because it has this limited capacity the because it has this limited capacity the because it has this limited capacity the great Paradox is that the more you train great Paradox is that the more you train great Paradox is that the more you train it and don't exceed its capacity the it and don't exceed its capacity the it and don't exceed its capacity the greater its capacity grows but if you go greater its capacity grows but if you go greater its capacity grows but if you go too hard too fast you're just defeating

too hard too fast you're just defeating too hard too fast you're just defeating the whole purpose at all an imperfect the whole purpose at all an imperfect the whole purpose at all an imperfect analogy but any reason for me to talk analogy but any reason for me to talk analogy but any reason for me to talk about the nerdy new lactate device that about the nerdy new lactate device that about the nerdy new lactate device that I uh you know Acquired and I'm excited I uh you know Acquired and I'm excited I uh you know Acquired and I'm excited to use point being kind of stay in that to use

a leader it's take care of yourself as a leader it's take care of yourself as a leader it's imperative because the folks that you're imperative because the folks that you're imperative because the folks that you're leading the team that you're leading the leading the team that you're leading the leading the team that you're leading the church that you're leading are going to church that you're leading are going to church that you're leading are going to mirror your leadership and so as you mirror your leadership and so as you mirror your leadership and so as you take care of yourself the people that take care of yourself the people that take care of yourself the people that you're leading are going to take care of you're leading are going to take care of you're leading are going to take care of themselves as well and to your body

themselves as well and to your body themselves as well and to your body analogy or to the body analogy that we analogy or to the body analogy that we analogy or to the body analogy that we find in the scriptures find in the scriptures find in the scriptures um you will then work as a a much more um you will then work as a a much more um you will then work as a a much more functional cohesive healthy functional cohesive healthy functional cohesive healthy collaborative body as a team if you as collaborative body as a team if you as collaborative body as a team if you as the leader or the proverbial head in the leader or the proverbial head in the leader or the proverbial head in this in this case mirror what it looks this in this case mirror what it looks this in this case mirror what it looks like to live and work in uh in a state like to live and work in uh in a state like to live and work in uh in a state in a posture of Health your team will go in a posture of Health your team will go in a posture of Health your team will go so much further and for so much longer so much further and for so much longer so much further and for so much longer than than they ever could if you're than than they ever could if you're than than they ever could if you're if you are exhibiting if you are exhibiting if you are exhibiting a way of living that isn't taking care a way of living that isn't taking care a way of living that isn't taking care of yourself your team is just going to of yourself your team is just going to of yourself your team is just going to mirror that right back to you absolutely mirror that right back to you absolutely mirror that right back to you absolutely next question next question next question hybrid I took over the comms for our hybrid I took over the comms for our hybrid I took over the comms for our church what is your advice or strategy church what is your advice or strategy church what is your advice or strategy for a church rolling out a new sermon for a church rolling out a new sermon for a church rolling out a new sermon series three weeks out two weeks out one series three weeks out two weeks out one series three weeks out two weeks out one week the week of week the week of week the week of I always like to respond to this I always like to respond to this I always like to respond to this question by first reminding all of us question by first reminding all of us question by first reminding all of us creatives that relative to your personal creatives that relative to your personal creatives that relative to your personal and creative investment in a sermon and creative investment in a sermon and creative investment in a sermon series and its artwork and its name and series and its artwork and its name and series and its artwork and its name and its structure how long it's running and its structure how long it's running and its structure how long it's running and the soundtrack that you chose and the the soundtrack that you chose and the the soundtrack that you chose and the color palette and the font nobody in color palette and the font nobody in color palette and the font nobody in your church cares it's it's an your church cares it's it's an your church cares it's it's an unfortunate truth and it is unfortunate unfortunate truth and it is unfortunate unfortunate truth and it is unfortunate because if I came out with like new because if I came out with like new because if I came out with like new branding for something and you were in branding for something and you were in branding for something and you were in our audience you would care way more our audience you would care way more our audience you would care way more about that than someone in your church about that than someone in your church about that than someone in your church cares about your new sermon series name cares about your new sermon series name cares about your new sermon series name and it's like creativity and all that

and it's like creativity and all that and it's like creativity and all that and the re why not because what we're and the re why not because what we're and the re why not because what we're doing is any is superior to yours it's doing is any is superior to yours it's doing is any is superior to yours it's just that our audience is full of just that our audience is full of just that our audience is full of creative people who kind of like geek creative people who kind of like geek creative people who kind of like geek out on that and your church is full of out on that and your church is full of out on that and your church is full of uh likely uh regular folks and some care uh likely uh regular folks and some care uh likely uh regular folks and some care about that but not too many and so about that but not too many and so about that but not too many and so I always just want to lower people's I always just want to lower people's I always just want to lower people's like expectations and standards because like expectations and standards because like expectations and standards because what we typically see is churches being what we typically see is churches being what we typically see is churches being like you know this I always have the like you know this I always have the like you know this I always have the same news our new service here is Grave same news our new service here is Grave same news our new service here is Grave Digger coming soon and it was why don't Digger coming soon and it was why don't Digger coming soon and it was why don't they care Gravedigger look at this they care Gravedigger look at this they care Gravedigger look at this design it's like this it just doesn't design it's like this it just doesn't design it's like this it just doesn't mean anything to folks on its own so mean anything to folks on its own so mean anything to folks on its own so with that being said I don't think with that being said I don't think with that being said I don't think there's a huge burden that you need to there's a huge burden that you need to there's a huge burden that you need to do a ton of promotion because here's the do a ton of promotion because here's the do a ton of promotion because here's the other thing presumably you have a sermon other thing presumably you have a sermon other thing presumably you have a sermon series going on right now and right series going on right now and right series going on right now and right there's a there's a trailer for it yeah there's a there's a trailer for it yeah there's a there's a trailer for it yeah it's like don't worry about it don't it's like don't worry about it don't it's like don't worry about it don't worry about this one four weeks from now worry about this one four weeks from now worry about this one four weeks from now you're gonna wanna come see Gravedigger you're gonna wanna come see Gravedigger you're gonna wanna come see Gravedigger yeah it's not it's not like movie yeah it's not it's not like movie yeah it's not it's not like movie trailers right you're not like sitting trailers right you're not like sitting trailers right you're not like sitting down for the future presentation and down for the future presentation and down for the future presentation and then run like in December we'll be doing then run like in December we'll be doing then run like in December we'll be doing this and in in the summer it's at the this and in in the summer it's at the this and in in the summer it's at the movies and and then Gravedigger back movies and and then Gravedigger back movies and and then Gravedigger back from the dead the sequel is next Easter from the dead the sequel is next Easter from the dead the sequel is next Easter and it doesn't work like that so I think and it doesn't work like that so I think and it doesn't work like that so I think you can basically do it the best I've you can basically do it the best I've you can basically do it the best I've seen this done is at the final week of seen this done is at the final week of seen this done is at the final week of the kind of concluding sermon series the the kind of concluding sermon series the the kind of concluding sermon series the pastor will do a pretty good job of pastor will do a pretty good job of pastor will do a pretty good job of working into this message kind of working into this message kind of working into this message kind of previews for where the next series is previews for where the next series is previews for where the next series is coming from because coming from because coming from because at its best sermon series are not at its best sermon series are not at its best sermon series are not necessarily like in a vacuum these necessarily like in a vacuum these necessarily like in a vacuum these isolated things sometimes they are and isolated things sometimes they are and isolated things sometimes they are and sometimes they have to be but often when

sometimes they have to be but often when sometimes they have to be but often when you're planning a preaching calendar you're planning a preaching calendar you're planning a preaching calendar that's kind of like okay this season is that's kind of like okay this season is that's kind of like okay this season is this way and we're going to talk about this way and we're going to talk about this way and we're going to talk about this because it aligns with the rhythms this because it aligns with the rhythms this because it aligns with the rhythms and the seasons of like our church in and the seasons of like our church in and the seasons of like our church in the world and then we're going to kind the world and then we're going to kind the world and then we're going to kind of dovetail into this and then that'll of dovetail into this and then that'll of dovetail into this and then that'll lead into this and there's some type of lead into this and there's some type of lead into this and there's some type of kind of plot a line that you can draw so kind of plot a line that you can draw so kind of plot a line that you can draw so a pastor that has that top of mind and a pastor that has that top of mind and a pastor that has that top of mind and typically they do because they're the typically they do because they're the typically they do because they're the ones that planned out the preaching ones that planned out the preaching ones that planned out the preaching calendar at the conclusion of a series calendar at the conclusion of a series calendar at the conclusion of a series they can begin to kind of tease and next they can begin to kind of tease and next they can begin to kind of tease and next week we're going to take this and we're week we're going to take this

tomfoolery that is unfolding on this app tomfoolery that is unfolding on this app and if you don't know I shouldn't even and if you don't know I shouldn't even and if you don't know I shouldn't even explain it to you but like overnight explain it to you but like overnight explain it to you but like overnight Elon was like it's not Twitter anymore Elon was like it's not Twitter anymore Elon was like it's not Twitter anymore it's called X and it's still hosted at it's called X and it's still hosted at it's called X and it's still hosted at twitter.com but x.com forwards to twitter.com but x.com forwards to twitter.com but x.com forwards to twitter.com the bird is gone it's just twitter.com the bird is gone it's just twitter.com the bird is gone it's just an X which I believe is just an X from an X which I believe is just an X from an X which I believe is just an X from some 30 font that he's kind of put up some 30 font that he's kind of put up some 30 font that he's kind of put up there and did you see that he tried to there and did you see that he tried to there and did you see that he tried to take the Twitter take the Twitter take the Twitter um um um the Twitter name and logo down off the the Twitter name and logo down off the the Twitter name and logo down off the Twitter building in San Francisco and Twitter building in San Francisco and Twitter building in San Francisco and the fire department came and had to shut the fire department came and had to shut the fire department came and had to shut it down because he didn't get the it down because he didn't get the it down because he didn't get the permits to like do that kind of work in permits to like do that kind of work in permits to like do that kind of work in the middle of the street again anyway the middle of the street again anyway the middle of the street again anyway delusion right we all have a bit of it delusion right we all have a bit of it delusion right we all have a bit of it some of us might have a bid too much some of us might have a bid too much some of us might have a bid too much yeah yeah yeah so now you're caught up now and a week so now you're caught up now and a week so now you're caught up now and a week has a lap since we've recorded and has a lap since we've recorded and has a lap since we've recorded and you're listening to it so literally only you're listening to it so literally only you're listening to it so literally only God knows what could have happened God knows what could have happened God knows what could have happened between then and now but it's pushing me between then and now but it's pushing me between then and now but it's pushing me to the point where it's like I I don't to the point where it's like I I don't to the point where it's like I I don't know what the longevity of this social know what the longevity of this social know what the longevity of this social platform is going to be platform is going to be platform is going to be so I'm reevaluating my relationship with so I'm reevaluating my relationship with so I'm reevaluating my relationship with threads and thinking okay threads and thinking okay threads and thinking okay I'm gonna have to rebuild this audience I'm gonna have to rebuild this audience I'm gonna have to rebuild this audience on threads and so this morning I was on threads and so this morning I was on threads and so this morning I was doing a Google search import Twitter doing a Google search import Twitter doing a Google search import Twitter following list to threads to see if following list to threads to see if following list to threads to see if there was some kind of app or API where there was some kind of app or API where there was some kind of app or API where you would like pull my my the people I you would like pull my my the people I you would like pull my my the people I follow and auto follow them in threads follow and auto follow them in threads follow and auto follow them in threads which of course you even Googling that which of course you even Googling that which of course you even Googling that might have him showing up at your house might have him showing up at your house might have him showing up at your house yeah but there is you know what there yeah but there is you know what there yeah but there is you know what there actually is a really helpful service for actually is a really helpful service for actually is a really helpful service for that for importing that for importing that for importing a Spotify playlist into Apple music it's

a Spotify playlist into Apple music it's a Spotify playlist into Apple music it's called like tune my music or something called like tune my music or something called like tune my music or something and it does it flawlessly because I'm an and it does it flawlessly because I'm an and it does it flawlessly because I'm an apple music listener and every time you apple music listener and every time you apple music listener and every time you people here are Spotify users yeah so if people here are Spotify users yeah so if people here are Spotify users yeah so if there's a playlist that's shared that I there's a playlist that's shared that I there's a playlist that's shared that I want that website will do it for me okay want that website will do it for me okay want that website will do it for me okay I was hoping there was something like I was hoping there was something like I was hoping there was something like that for threats no so now I'm I'm on that for threats no so now I'm I'm on that for threats no so now I'm I'm on the brink on the precipice of deciding the brink on the precipice of deciding the brink on the precipice of deciding like am I going to start rebuilding my like am I going to start rebuilding my like am I going to start rebuilding my community on threads and I'm leaning I'm community on threads and I'm leaning I'm community on threads and I'm leaning I'm leaning towards yes and that feels leaning towards yes and that feels leaning towards yes and that feels really frustrating to me threads when I really frustrating to me threads when I really frustrating to me threads when I refresh like won't even refresh for me refresh like won't even refresh for me refresh like won't even refresh for me anymore really the app is just like anymore really the app is just like anymore really the app is just like broken on my phone broken on my phone broken on my phone and um great logo though they do have a and um great logo though they do have a and um great logo though they do have a nice alternatively to the former Bird nice alternatively to the former Bird nice alternatively to the former Bird app yes but the former Bird apps logo is app yes but the former Bird apps logo is app yes but the former Bird apps logo is Iconic iconic and it might be perfect Iconic iconic and it might be perfect Iconic iconic and it might be perfect honestly no notes and then I just honestly no notes and then I just honestly no notes and then I just did you they were actually because the did you they were actually because the did you they were actually because the night before he's like night before he's like night before he's like so so so he's something else he tweeted out he's he's something else he tweeted out he's he's something else he tweeted out he's like uh if anyone can design me a great like uh if anyone can design me a great like uh if anyone can design me a great logo for X I'll use it and so people logo for X I'll use it and so people logo for X I'll use it and so people gave some really great entries some of gave some really great entries some of gave some really great entries some of which were like a marriage between the which were like a marriage between the which were like a marriage between the bird and the X again perfect logos no bird and the X again perfect logos no bird and the X again perfect logos no notes like embrace the X but a little a notes like embrace the X but a little a notes like embrace the X but a little a little uh Ode to the bird it was great little uh Ode to the bird it was great little uh Ode to the bird it was great no I have two theories on this okay and no I have two theories on this okay and no I have two theories on this okay and I don't know which one is right they're I don't know which one is right they're I don't know which one is right they're both so both so both so a so extreme theories because I cannot a so extreme theories because I cannot a so extreme theories because I cannot come up with an easy way of

come up with an easy way of come up with an easy way of understanding why these decisions are understanding why these decisions are understanding why these decisions are being made yeah the first is that for being made yeah the first is that for being made yeah the first is that for someone that kind of you know brought someone that kind of you know brought someone that kind of you know brought electric vehicles into the mainstream electric vehicles into the mainstream electric vehicles into the mainstream Consciousness and someone that is trying Consciousness and someone that is trying Consciousness and someone that is trying to like develop just like consumer to like develop just like consumer to like develop just like consumer rocket ships and perhaps you know rocket ships and perhaps you know rocket ships and perhaps you know colonize Mars like this is just such big colonize Mars like this is just such big colonize Mars like this is just such big brain thinking so many steps ahead yes brain thinking so many steps ahead yes brain thinking so many steps ahead yes that I can't even really see where he's that I can't even really see where he's that I can't even really see where he's trying to bring us and I think that's trying to bring us and I think that's trying to bring us and I think that's maybe the charitable reading of it I maybe the charitable reading of it I maybe the charitable reading of it I also think that maybe if that is correct also think that maybe if that is correct also think that maybe if that is correct the reality is sometimes it's almost the reality is sometimes it's almost the reality is sometimes it's almost like Angel Investing you need to take like Angel Investing you need to take like Angel Investing you need to take big home run swings at every pitch and big home run swings at every pitch and big home run swings at every pitch and and a lot of the times you're gonna fail and a lot of the times you're gonna fail and a lot of the times you're gonna fail but the one that hits is going to but the one that hits is going to but the one that hits is going to disrupt for the positive or the negative disrupt for the positive or the negative disrupt for the positive or the negative the world in such a big way that it the world in such a big way that it the world in such a big way that it almost makes up for every other thing almost makes up for every other thing almost makes up for every other thing and for someone that's made as big of a and for someone that's made as big of a and for someone that's made as big of a stride in certain histories and in stride in certain histories and in stride in certain histories and in business as this man has that he only business as this man has that he only business as this man has that he only knows one way and and there is no asking knows one way and and there is no asking knows one way and and there is no asking for permission there's just doing and for permission there's just doing and for permission there's just doing and look we're gonna put our head down and look we're gonna put our head down and look we're gonna put our head down and we're gonna get this thing done we're gonna get this thing done we're gonna get this thing done that's kind of like my my charitable that's kind of like my my charitable that's kind of like my my charitable reading now what I would say is that hey reading now what I would say is that hey reading now what I would say is that hey one step ahead you're a leader two steps one step ahead you're a leader two steps one step ahead you're a leader two steps ahead you're a martyr and when you're ahead you're a martyr and when you're ahead you're a martyr and when you're trying to move a legacy brand quote trying to move a legacy brand quote trying to move a legacy brand quote unquote the way Twitter is at least in unquote the way Twitter is at least in unquote the way Twitter is at least in the social media space if you move too the social media space if you move too the social media space if you move too fast too quickly you may do irreparable fast too quickly you may do irreparable fast too quickly you may do irreparable damage where you can't really come out damage where you can't really come out damage where you can't really come out of that uh also you know for my personal of that uh also you know for my personal of that uh also you know for my personal investment on this I came on this investment on this I came on this investment on this I came on this uh show like a fool and said threads has

uh show like a fool and said threads has uh show like a fool and said threads has no hope and then every day since Elon no hope and then every day since Elon no hope and then every day since Elon has been like I believe in disproving has been like I believe in disproving has been like I believe in disproving Brady's prediction and I'll do Brady's prediction and I'll do Brady's prediction and I'll do everything that I can to show him that everything that I can to show him that everything that I can to show him that the first time he ever made a social the first time he ever made a social the first time he ever made a social media prediction yeah I'm going to you media prediction yeah I'm going to you media prediction yeah I'm going to you said I'm happy to be proven wrong yeah said I'm happy to be proven wrong yeah said I'm happy to be proven wrong yeah the second theory is this the second theory is this the second theory is this and this is the more Insidious one the and this is the more Insidious one the and this is the more Insidious one the thing I actually think is maybe more thing I actually think is maybe more thing I actually think is maybe more likely and that is likely and that is likely and that is elon's elon's elon's comments publicly have become comments publicly have become comments publicly have become considerably more right-wing in the last considerably more right-wing in the last considerably more right-wing in the last five years he was kind of like a darling five years he was kind of like a darling five years he was kind of like a darling of the left and of the tech industry for of the left and of the tech industry for of the left and of the tech industry for a long time and to be clear I own a a long time and to be clear I own a a long time and to be clear I own a Tesla it is the best car I've ever owned Tesla it is the best car I've ever owned Tesla it is the best car I've ever owned I have no notes on this car it brings me I have no notes on this car it brings me I have no notes on this car it brings me great joy every day and so I do kind of great joy every day and so I do kind of great joy every day and so I do kind of hold a hold a hold a in in at least like mainstream culture in in at least like mainstream culture in in at least like mainstream culture it seems like you either are like it seems like you either are like it seems like you either are like worship Elon or think he's the worship Elon or think he's the worship Elon or think he's the Antichrist sure I don't think either of Antichrist sure I don't think either of Antichrist sure I don't think either of those are uh accurate for me I'm kind of those are uh accurate for me I'm kind of those are uh accurate for me I'm kind of like oh man sometimes why does he do like oh man sometimes why does he do like oh man sometimes why does he do this other times like hey you built this this other times like hey you built this this other times like hey you built this thing I'm really happy about thing I'm really happy about thing I'm really happy about so so so or at least he gets credit for building or at least he gets credit for building or at least he gets credit for building it so my thought is maybe as a it so my thought is maybe as a it so my thought is maybe as a billionaire as one of the most wealthy billionaire as one of the most wealthy billionaire as one of the most wealthy persons on Earth he saw in recent years persons on Earth he saw in recent years persons on Earth he saw in recent years how platforms like Twitter have removed how platforms like Twitter have removed how platforms like Twitter have removed gatekeeping and kind of like gathered gatekeeping and kind of like gathered gatekeeping and kind of like gathered people to to give more power to people people to to give more power to people people to to give more power to people where they could initiate certain where they could initiate certain where they could initiate certain cultural changes not from the top down cultural changes not from the top down cultural changes not from the top down but from the bottom up and this type of but from the bottom up and this type of but from the bottom up and this type of revolutionary attitude and power he saw revolutionary attitude and power he saw revolutionary attitude and power he saw in some ways as a threat right like you

in some ways as a threat right like you in some ways as a threat right like you see his discourse changing like to all see his discourse changing like to all see his discourse changing like to all very more to right wing we're coming out very more to right wing we're coming out very more to right wing we're coming out of a pandemic a lot of people didn't of a pandemic a lot of people didn't of a pandemic a lot of people didn't like how that was uh that was handled like how that was uh that was handled like how that was uh that was handled and so my my 4D big brain chess theory and so my my 4D big brain chess theory and so my my 4D big brain chess theory is that he saw this powerful platform as is that he saw this powerful platform as is that he saw this powerful platform as something that was a threat to him and something that was a threat to him and something that was a threat to him and other people like him he's like look for other people like him he's like look for other people like him he's like look for the greater good of society I have to the greater good of society I have to the greater good of society I have to purchase this because I can and purchase this because I can and purchase this because I can and basically just dismantle it through a basically just dismantle it through a basically just dismantle it through a series of steps and actions that people series of steps and actions that people series of steps and actions that people will be like why is he doing this yet will be like why is he doing this yet will be like why is he doing this yet because I don't care I'm trying to because I don't care I'm trying to because I don't care I'm trying to disrupt it I'm trying to break away its disrupt it I'm trying to break away its disrupt it I'm trying to break away its power so that what I'm trying to power so that what I'm trying to power so that what I'm trying to accomplish will no longer be threatened accomplish will no longer be threatened accomplish will no longer be threatened by this it is the public version of by this it is the public version of by this it is the public version of paying off somebody you're just gonna paying off somebody you're just gonna paying off somebody you're just gonna pay off the platform by it and then just pay off the platform by it and then just pay off the platform by it and then just like strip it for parts I hope it's not that one I hope it's not that one his decisions are so mind-boggling that his decisions are so mind-boggling that his decisions are so mind-boggling that I'm like tin foil hat Brady now I know I I'm like tin foil hat Brady now I know I I'm like tin foil hat Brady now I know I guess only time will tell in the guess only time will tell in the guess only time will tell in the meantime you can follow me on threads meantime you can follow me on threads meantime you can follow me on threads uh you can follow me on threads too yeah uh you can follow me on threads too yeah uh you can follow me on threads too yeah I'm there yeah and all six of you that I'm there yeah and all six of you that I'm there yeah and all six of you that like my content because nobody cares like my content because nobody cares like my content because nobody cares about threads yeah but I'll hey I'm about threads yeah but I'll hey I'm about threads yeah but I'll hey I'm still posting I'm glad to be proven still posting I'm glad to be proven still posting I'm glad to be proven wrong I am platform agnostic I do not wrong I am platform agnostic I do not wrong I am platform agnostic I do not unlike Elon have any horses in this race unlike Elon have any horses in this race unlike Elon have any horses in this race uh where the attention is I will follow uh where the attention is I will follow uh where the attention is I will follow there you go okay the next thing that's there you go okay the next thing that's there you go okay the next thing that's wrong is actually a callback to wrong is actually a callback to wrong is actually a callback to um I think the last time I answered this um I think the last time I answered this um I think the last time I answered this question uh my phone we've talked about question uh my phone we've talked about question uh my phone we've talked about this the back of my phone it's broken this the back of my phone it's broken this the back of my phone it's broken I've been struggling to find uh time to
