the problem with this type of comment is that it's not this type of comment is that it's not this type of comment is that it's not meant to be helpful what it's meant to

meant to be helpful what it's meant to meant to be helpful what it's meant to do is serve as a theological trump card do is serve as a theological trump card do is serve as a theological trump card because invariably when you start going because invariably when you start going because invariably when you start going down a dialogue with someone like this down a dialogue with someone like this down a dialogue with someone like this and I say okay just preach the gospel and I say okay just preach the gospel and I say okay just preach the gospel what do you mean by that how do you mean what do you mean by that how do you mean what do you mean by that how do you mean we should be preaching on the street do we should be preaching on the street do we should be preaching on the street do you mean we should be preaching from a you mean we should be preaching from a you mean we should be preaching from a Pulpit and by gospel do you mean like Pulpit and by gospel do you mean like Pulpit and by gospel do you mean like red letters do you mean the Bible as a red letters do you mean the Bible as a red letters do you mean the Bible as a whole do you mean that we should preach whole do you mean that we should preach whole do you mean that we should preach equally through every chapter or should equally through every chapter or should equally through every chapter or should we give more Credence to maybe the we give more Credence to maybe the we give more Credence to maybe the Beatitudes or The Sermon on the Mount Beatitudes or The Sermon on the Mount Beatitudes or The Sermon on the Mount and what you find is there are and what you find is there are and what you find is there are parameters that this person has in mind parameters that this person has in mind parameters that this person has in mind for preaching the gospel so they don't for preaching the gospel so they don't for preaching the gospel so they don't mean just preach the gospel they mean mean just preach the gospel they mean mean just preach the gospel they mean just preach the gospel how I want to do just preach the gospel how I want to do just preach the gospel how I want to do it and so there's nothing wrong with it and so there's nothing wrong with it and so there's nothing wrong with that by the way right like like we all that by the way right like like we all that by the way right like like we all have certain ways that we want to preach have certain ways that we want to preach have certain ways that we want to preach the gospel and I think that we should be the gospel and I think that we should be the gospel and I think that we should be able to have these types of able to have these types of able to have these types of conversations without throwing down conversations without throwing down conversations without throwing down Trump cards because I think these people Trump cards because I think these people Trump cards because I think these people maybe want to be helpful but yeah you're maybe want to be helpful but yeah you're maybe want to be helpful but yeah you're a pastor let me know where do you think a pastor let me know where do you think a pastor let me know where do you think they're coming from this one's on our they're coming from this one's on our they're coming from this one's on our last episode I was able to empathize last episode I was able to empathize last episode I was able to empathize with a pastor and and his comment on with a pastor and and his comment on with a pastor and and his comment on your video this one I'm having a little your video this one I'm having a little your video this one I'm having a little bit more of a hard time empathizing with bit more of a hard time empathizing with bit more of a hard time empathizing with because I don't share that sentiment uh because I don't share that sentiment uh because I don't share that sentiment uh because like you said uh we all preach because like you said uh we all preach because like you said uh we all preach the gospel by different definitions on the gospel by different definitions on the gospel by different definitions on different terms for different means uh different terms for different means uh different terms for different means uh means that are usually informed by our means that are usually informed by our means that are usually informed by our culture or our communities and we as a culture or our communities and we as a culture or our communities and we as a as a company as individuals on this show as a company as individuals on this show as a company as individuals on this show and this YouTube channel now are just and this YouTube channel now are just and this YouTube channel now are just trying to help and equip people to share

and we're going to send you a text and and we're going to send you a text and then the text is visit our website to then the text is visit our website to then the text is visit our website to sign up for baptism right it's like well sign up for baptism right it's like well sign up for baptism right it's like well novel idea we could have sent them to novel idea we could have sent them to novel idea we could have sent them to the website first especially because the website first especially because the website first especially because when you use the keyword concept for when you use the keyword concept for when you use the keyword concept for every Next Step every Next Step every Next Step you're end up you're going to have you're end up you're going to have you're end up you're going to have people being forced to remember like people being forced to remember like people being forced to remember like unlimited keywords it's like okay I unlimited keywords it's like okay I unlimited keywords it's like okay I wanted to sign up for baptism that's wanted to sign up for baptism that's wanted to sign up for baptism that's baptism I wanted to sign up for growth baptism I wanted to sign up for growth baptism I wanted to sign up for growth track okay I have to text growth track track okay I have to text growth track track okay I have to text growth track is that growth Dash Track is it growth is that growth Dash Track is it growth is that growth Dash Track is it growth track one word is it growth space track track one word is it growth space track track one word is it growth space track okay I wanted to sign up for VBS that okay I wanted to sign up for VBS that okay I wanted to sign up for VBS that one hopefully VBS but maybe VBS was used one hopefully VBS but maybe VBS was used one hopefully VBS but maybe VBS was used in the previous year and so this year in the previous year and so this year in the previous year and so this year it's like you know vacation and and it's like you know vacation and and it's like you know vacation and and that's that's a lot like imagine if you that's that's a lot like imagine if you that's that's a lot like imagine if you had to go to a different website every had to go to a different website every had to go to a different website every time you needed to take action at your time you needed to take action at your time you needed to take action at your church that would be memorable URL or church that would be memorable URL or church that would be memorable URL or something yeah every time you wanted to something yeah every time you wanted to something yeah every time you wanted to buy movie tickets at your local theater buy movie tickets at your local theater buy movie tickets at your local theater you had to go to a different URL or if you had to go to a different URL or if you had to go to a different URL or if you had to memorize the keyword for okay you had to memorize the keyword for okay you had to memorize the keyword for okay I'm gonna go see Mission Impossible okay I'm gonna go see Mission Impossible okay I'm gonna go see Mission Impossible okay don't think which Mission Impossible don't think which Mission Impossible don't think which Mission Impossible don't they use Roman numerals and those don't they use Roman numerals and those don't they use Roman numerals and those like it's like XI is it Mission like it's like XI is it Mission like it's like XI is it Mission Impossible six is like MI6 no that's the Impossible six is like MI6 no that's the Impossible six is like MI6 no that's the actual agency oh my goodness I'll never actual agency oh my goodness I'll never actual agency oh my goodness I'll never go see it just becomes difficult not to go see it just becomes difficult not to go see it just becomes difficult not to mention you have to put in the 10 digit mention you have to put in the 10 digit mention you have to put in the 10 digit actual phone number right before you get actual phone number right before you get actual phone number right before you get there now with all of those caveats there now with all of those caveats there now with all of those caveats being set I think the way that this being set I think the way that this being set I think the way that this church church church is modeling text messaging is the best is modeling text messaging is the best is modeling text messaging is the best way to do it where they have way to do it where they have way to do it where they have one two or three keywords for their most one two or three keywords for their most one two or three keywords for their most important next steps in their church important next steps in their church important next steps in their church baptism new visitors planning a visit baptism new visitors planning a visit baptism new visitors planning a visit and what do those text messages lead to

and what do those text messages lead to and what do those text messages lead to they don't lead to an automated response they don't lead to an automated response they don't lead to an automated response with a link to sign up on the website with a link to sign up on the website with a link to sign up on the website yeah you could have just gone to the yeah you could have just gone to the yeah you could have just gone to the website to begin with they connect website to begin with they connect website to begin with they connect people personally to pastoral care and people personally to pastoral care and people personally to pastoral care and to staff at the church I love that way to staff at the church I love that way to staff at the church I love that way of using text messaging because text is of using text messaging because text is of using text messaging because text is good unlike email email is great for good unlike email email is great for good unlike email email is great for kind of like big messages to everyone kind of like big messages to everyone kind of like big messages to everyone text is good at connecting you to a real text is good at connecting you to a real text is good at connecting you to a real person and it doesn't scale person and it doesn't scale person and it doesn't scale and that's the point it's one of the and that's the point it's one of the and that's the point it's one of the best digital mirrors for pastoral care best digital mirrors for pastoral care best digital mirrors for pastoral care because you're connecting to someone because you're connecting to someone because you're connecting to someone personally directly and it doesn't scale personally directly and it doesn't scale personally directly and it doesn't scale guess what if you send a DM on Instagram guess what if you send a DM on Instagram guess what if you send a DM on Instagram it's me responding right and it doesn't it's me responding right and it doesn't it's me responding right and it doesn't scale and guess what I'm not at dm0 the scale and guess what I'm not at dm0 the scale and guess what I'm not at dm0 the way I'm at inbox one previously zero way I'm at inbox one previously zero way I'm at inbox one previously zero because it's very difficult but the because it's very difficult but the because it's very difficult but the reason DMS are so potent and valuable is reason DMS are so potent and valuable is reason DMS are so potent and valuable is because you know you're connecting to me because you know you're connecting to me because you know you're connecting to me in the same way text mirrors that also in the same way text mirrors that also in the same way text mirrors that also the key is the key is the key is you have to then use it sparingly and you have to then use it sparingly and you have to then use it sparingly and this is where we see churches kind of this is where we see churches kind of this is where we see churches kind of get out of control right they're like get out of control right they're like get out of control right they're like okay we have uh an upcoming summer okay we have uh an upcoming summer okay we have uh an upcoming summer barbecue text BBQ to this number and barbecue text BBQ to this number and barbecue text BBQ to this number and that's one announcement and then they go that's one announcement and then they go that's one announcement and then they go we're also having a movie night coming we're also having a movie night coming we're also having a movie night coming up so text up so text up so text m-i-x-i which is actually the the you m-i-x-i which is actually the the you m-i-x-i which is actually the the you know that's that's okay apparently know that's that's okay apparently know that's that's okay apparently that's Mission Impossible 11. part of me that's Mission Impossible 11. part of me that's Mission Impossible 11. part of me uh uh uh text app so you can get registered for text app so you can get registered for text app so you can get registered for the movie wiping VBS text VBS and you the movie wiping VBS text VBS and you the movie wiping VBS text VBS and you get through announcements and it's been get through announcements and it's been get through announcements and it's been seven announcements you've got seven seven announcements you've got seven seven announcements you've got seven keywords plus you have to remember the keywords plus you have to remember the keywords plus you have to remember the 10 digit phone number and that that you 10 digit phone number and that that you 10 digit phone number and that that you could have just sent people to the

could have just sent people to the could have just sent people to the website and had the launcher there with website and had the launcher there with website and had the launcher there with all the

one has to fight for it adamantly and one has to fight for it adamantly and one has to fight against it adamantly to one has to fight against it adamantly to one has to fight against it adamantly to Rally the most extreme parts of their Rally the most extreme parts of their Rally the most extreme parts of their base and then all of us in the middle base and then all of us in the middle base and then all of us in the middle that are kind of like this seems normal that are kind of like this seems normal that are kind of like this seems normal we're not allowed to actually make any we're not allowed to actually make any we're not allowed to actually make any progress and progress and progress and what happens the more we don't make what happens the more we don't make what happens the more we don't make progress the more we start to drift to progress the more we start to drift to progress the more we start to drift to the extreme side of our line because the extreme side of our line because the extreme side of our line because we're like okay whatever like we just we're like okay whatever like we just we're like okay whatever like we just need to go extreme on this because need to go extreme on this because need to go extreme on this because they're crazy on the other side all the they're crazy on the other side all the they're crazy on the other side all the while we become crazier ourselves oh no while we become crazier ourselves oh no while we become crazier ourselves oh no so is this going to be the next Mass so is this going to be the next Mass so is this going to be the next Mass Exodus do you think the digital Exodus I Exodus do you think the digital Exodus I Exodus do you think the digital Exodus I do not see this happening I think what's do not see this happening I think what's do not see this happening I think what's actually more realistic is much more actually more realistic is much more actually more realistic is much more nuanced uh than that and nuanced uh than that and nuanced uh than that and that is that look AI has some problems that is that look AI has some problems that is that look AI has some problems yeah yeah yeah but AI is also something that we have but AI is also something that we have but AI is also something that we have been using for a very long time we've been using for a very long time we've been using for a very long time we've talked about this in the context of talked about this in the context of talked about this in the context of video editing when I started making video editing when I started making video editing when I started making videos for my church in 2010 if I shot videos for my church in 2010 if I shot videos for my church in 2010 if I shot my uh if I shot my clips and they were my uh if I shot my clips and they were my uh if I shot my clips and they were not especially well lit there was going not especially well lit there was going not especially well lit there was going to be a lot of noise in that image to be a lot of noise in that image to be a lot of noise in that image nowadays I don't even think about noise nowadays I don't even think about noise nowadays I don't even think about noise I'm like oh this I'm shooting at ISO 8 I'm like oh this I'm shooting at ISO 8 I'm like oh this I'm shooting at ISO 8 billion that's fine denoise impulse even billion that's fine denoise impulse even billion that's fine denoise impulse even Lightroom they like they won't even they Lightroom they like they won't even they Lightroom they like they won't even they won't even let you control the noise won't even let you control the noise won't even let you control the noise anymore on your own like even if you anymore on your own like even if you anymore on your own like even if you wanted to if you wanted to go in and wanted to if you wanted to go in and wanted to if you wanted to go in and find two noise they're like you know find two noise they're like you know find two noise they're like you know what we got it generated AI it's gone what we got it generated AI it's gone what we got it generated AI it's gone too far it's gone too far we had a too far it's gone too far we had a too far it's gone too far we had a church that we were making some uh church that we were making some uh church that we were making some uh making a universe for so we were making a universe for so we were making a universe for so we were building their website over at building their website over at building their website over at nucleus.church and they sent in these nucleus.church and they sent in these nucleus.church and they sent in these staff photos and staff photos and staff photos and they remember this yes yeah so they said they remember this yes yeah so they said they remember this yes yeah so they said to me okay if you're why this if you're

to me okay if you're why this if you're to me okay if you're why this if you're watching if you're watching you can see watching if you're watching you can see watching if you're watching you can see this WOW in real time so we're new at this WOW in real time so we're new at this WOW in real time so we're new at this well visual mediums this well visual mediums this well visual mediums so they sent us these headshots and they so they sent us these headshots and they so they sent us these headshots and they were not complete they were like cropped were not complete they were like cropped were not complete they were like cropped they look like this and they had what they look like this and they had what they look like this and they had what they had done was they had downloaded they had done was they had downloaded they had done was they had downloaded them from their old website but their them from their old website but their them from their old website but their old website had cropped them into a old website had cropped them into a old website had cropped them into a circle and the new website that we were circle and the new website that we were circle and the new website that we were building it needed like a 4x5 or a building it needed like a 4x5 or a building it needed like a 4x5 or a rectangular image like what do we do rectangular image like what do we do rectangular image like what do we do we're not going to reshoot all these I we're not going to reshoot all these I we're not going to reshoot all these I was like ah this is my chance to try my was like ah this is my chance to try my was like ah this is my chance to try my hand at Photoshop beta generative fill hand at Photoshop beta generative fill hand at Photoshop beta generative fill so I download the beta and I bring in so I download the beta and I bring in so I download the beta and I bring in the headshot and I generate it and it the headshot and I generate it and it the headshot and I generate it and it made a whole new headshot yeah one made a whole new headshot yeah one made a whole new headshot yeah one problem it made a whole new something problem it made a whole new something problem it made a whole new something else as well AI is not good at hands yet else as well AI is not good at hands yet else as well AI is not good at hands yet so you're seeing the hands they were a so you're seeing the hands they were a so you're seeing the hands they were a little terrified yeah so I just crossed little terrified yeah so I just crossed little terrified yeah so I just crossed it up and a new headshot was bored we it up and a new headshot was bored we it up and a new headshot was bored we didn't need hands we just needed a didn't need hands we just needed a didn't need hands we just needed a different aspect ratio and I was curious different aspect ratio and I was curious different aspect ratio and I was curious what this church was going to say what this church was going to say what this church was going to say because I was like I've never been to because I was like I've never been to because I was like I've never been to this church and it's kind of generating this church and it's kind of generating this church and it's kind of generating like areas around this person can you like areas around this person can you like areas around this person can you look at this and you're like that is look at this and you're like that is look at this and you're like that is obviously not our church yes it's it's obviously not our church yes it's it's obviously not our church yes it's it's bokeh it's blurred but but they were bokeh it's blurred but but they were bokeh it's blurred but but they were like this is amazing how are you doing like this is amazing how are you doing like this is amazing how are you doing this and I was like well the generator this and I was like well the generator this and I was like well the generator and I never showed them the uncropped and I never showed them the uncropped and I never showed them the uncropped images yeah up there so uh so uh the other thing okay the other thing okay the other thing okay things happen so quick we're just like things happen so quick we're just like things happen so quick we're just like we got to reject this but what more we got to reject this but what more we got to reject this but what more likely is going to happen is

likely is going to happen is likely is going to happen is you'll always have people that are like you'll always have people that are like you'll always have people that are like a little bit out on it but it's going to a little bit out on it but it's going to a little bit out on it but it's going to be such a big part of the everyday be such a big part of the everyday be such a big part of the everyday fabric of Our Lives there's really no fabric of Our Lives there's really no fabric of Our Lives there's really no way to kind of remove yourself from it way to kind of remove yourself from it way to kind of remove yourself from it and the analogy that we've used in the and the analogy that we've used in the and the analogy that we've used in the past and I always return to is like it's past and I always return to is like it's past and I always return to is like it's like automobiles is the automobile like automobiles is the automobile like automobiles is the automobile industry and the development of our industry and the development of our industry and the development of our ability to drive from here to wherever ability to drive from here to wherever ability to drive from here to wherever we want as long as they're land is that we want as long as they're land is that we want as long as they're land is that a net positive a net positive a net positive on the history of the world I think you on the history of the world I think you on the history of the world I think you could make an argued argument either yes could make an argued argument either yes could make an argued argument either yes or no I have no idea how you'd begin to or no I have no idea how you'd begin to or no I have no idea how you'd begin to even like prove one or the other but even like prove one or the other but even like prove one or the other but what we do know is that there isn't a what we do know is that there isn't a what we do know is that there isn't a single person that I know that you know single person that I know that you know single person that I know that you know that does not get on a automobile some that does not get on a automobile some that does not get on a automobile

really interesting point because we've started to see the point because we've started to see the point because we've started to see the stratification of different Generations stratification of different Generations stratification of different Generations on social like when we we started we on social like when we we started we on social like when we we started we were teenagers is when social came out were teenagers is when social came out were teenagers is when social came out so we had Myspace and then we jumped to so we had Myspace and then we jumped to so we had Myspace and then we jumped to Facebook and we jumped to Twitter and Facebook and we jumped to Twitter and Facebook and we jumped to Twitter and then we jumped to Instagram we just kept then we jumped to Instagram we
