Read full transcript 17 segments
  1. having a host is one of my favorite ways having a host is one of my favorite ways to truly elevate a church service but to truly elevate a church service but to truly elevate a church service but what even is a host what do they do well what even is a host what do they do well what even is a host what do they do well in my view there are seven items every in my view there are seven items every in my view there are seven items every church needs to know about hosting and church needs to know about hosting and church needs to know about hosting and if you're hesitant I've even got word if you're hesitant I've even got word if you're hesitant I've even got word for word script options for you closer for word script options for you closer for word script options for you closer to the end of the video Let's dive to the end of the video Let's dive to the end of the video Let's dive in well hey there and welcome to the BR in well hey there and welcome to the BR in well hey there and welcome to the BR Church tool show we're here to help you Church tool show we're here to help you Church tool show we're here to help you and your church navigate the biggest and your church navigate the biggest and your church navigate the biggest communication shift in 500 years I'm communication shift in 500 years I'm communication shift in 500 years I'm Brady Sher your host I'm Jon as always Brady Sher your host I'm Jon as always Brady Sher your host I'm Jon as always with my co-host we call him Arch Bishop with my co-host we call him Arch Bishop with my co-host we call him Arch Bishop aperture it's Alexander Mills hello aperture it's Alexander Mills hello aperture it's Alexander Mills hello hello seven things your church needs to hello seven things your church needs to hello seven things your church needs to know about hosting let's dive in right know about hosting let's dive in right know about hosting let's dive in right way to number one answering the question way to number one answering the question way to number one answering the question what even is a host to begin with well what even is a host to begin with well what even is a host to begin with well if you think of announcements as a if you think of announcements as a if you think of announcements as a baseline surely we're all familiar with baseline surely we're all familiar with baseline surely we're all familiar with the person that delivers announcements the person that delivers announcements the person that delivers announcements in church maybe it's the same person in church maybe it's the same person in church maybe it's the same person each week maybe you have a rotating cast each week maybe you have a rotating cast each week maybe you have a rotating cast of characters that's the Baseline for a of characters that's the Baseline for a of characters that's the Baseline for a host but then we add giving we add guest host but then we add giving we add guest host but then we add giving we add guest acknowledgement we add the connect card acknowledgement we add the connect card acknowledgement we add the connect card and perhaps most importantly Transitions and perhaps most importantly Transitions and perhaps most importantly Transitions and kind of managing the fluidity both and kind of managing the fluidity both and kind of managing the fluidity both for the people that are in the seats and for the people that are in the seats and for the people that are in the seats and are experiencing the church programming are experiencing the church programming are experiencing the church programming and service but also for everyone that's and service but also for everyone that's and service but also for everyone that's volunteering and coming on and off the volunteering and coming on and off the volunteering and coming on and off the stage and they have a role to play in stage and they have a role to play in stage and they have a role to play in the Sunday morning as well making sure the Sunday morning as well making sure the Sunday morning as well making sure that that's all coordinated also that's that that's all coordinated also that's that that's all coordinated also that's the first thing number two okay but why the first thing number two okay but why the first thing number two okay but why that's the what but why for me the goal that's the what but why for me the goal that's the what but why for me the goal with a host is to build trust it's to to with a host is to build trust it's to to with a host is to build trust it's to to propel people to take action and to

  2. propel people to take action and to propel people to take action and to ensure fluidity throughout the service ensure fluidity throughout the service ensure fluidity throughout the service now when I say fluidity I can hear in my now when I say fluidity I can hear in my now when I say fluidity I can hear in my head the critics saying why would we head the critics saying why would we head the critics saying why would we care about that whatsoever and so I just care about that whatsoever and so I just care about that whatsoever and so I just want to read this YouTube comment okay want to read this YouTube comment okay want to read this YouTube comment okay it says quote we switched over to having it says quote we switched over to having it says quote we switched over to having a host about one and a half years ago a host about one and a half years ago a host about one and a half years ago total GameChanger as associate pastor I total GameChanger as associate pastor I total GameChanger as associate pastor I have many responsibilities throughout have many responsibilities throughout have many responsibilities throughout the week but on Sunday mornings my job the week but on Sunday mornings my job the week but on Sunday mornings my job description is quote Sunday Morning description is quote Sunday Morning description is quote Sunday Morning Experience unquote I coordinate with the Experience unquote I coordinate with the Experience unquote I coordinate with the worship pastor and the senior pastor to worship pastor and the senior pastor to worship pastor and the senior pastor to create fluid transitions of worship into create fluid transitions of worship into create fluid transitions of worship into new person greeting announcements and new person greeting announcements and new person greeting announcements and giving and then transition to the giving and then transition to the giving and then transition to the message it has transformed our service message it has transformed our service message it has transformed our service from a clunky peace meal order to a from a clunky peace meal order to a from a clunky peace meal order to a fluid connected experience wow if you fluid connected experience wow if you fluid connected experience wow if you think about your Church's programming think about your Church's programming think about your Church's programming each element of a Sunday Morning has a each element of a Sunday Morning has a each element of a Sunday Morning has a distinct purpose and for the distinct purpose and for the distinct purpose and for the congregation to engage in that distinct congregation to engage in that distinct congregation to engage in that distinct purpose you're kind of going from like purpose you're kind of going from like purpose you're kind of going from like one station to a next we're going to one station to a next we're going to one station to a next we're going to worship the there's going to be a fast worship the there's going to be a fast worship the there's going to be a fast song there's going to be a slow song and song there's going to be a slow song and song there's going to be a slow song and we're going to read scripture and we're we're going to read scripture and we're we're going to read scripture and we're going to do offering and we're going to going to do offering and we're going to going to do offering and we're going to do communion and now that's time for the do communion and now that's time for the do communion and now that's time for the sermon and now there's time for response sermon and now there's time for response sermon and now there's time for response and so there needs to be Direction given and so there needs to be Direction given and so there needs to be Direction given there needs to be fluidity between the there needs to be fluidity between the there needs to be fluidity between the different orders of programming or or different orders of programming or or different orders of programming or or else it can kind of be disorienting when else it can kind of be disorienting when else it can kind of be disorienting when you are in one thing and then you enter you are in one thing and then you enter you are in one thing and then you enter into another yeah we talked about this into another yeah we talked about this into another yeah we talked about this actually last week on the show the actually last week on the show the actually last week on the show the episode was about 10 things that episode was about 10 things that episode was about 10 things that churches do that kind of scare off new churches do that kind of scare off new churches do that kind of scare off new visitors and one of the things that that visitors and one of the things that that visitors and one of the things that that came up one explicitly um one of the came up one explicitly um one of the came up one explicitly um one of the things that we talked about was lack of

  3. things that we talked about was lack of things that we talked about was lack of structure in a service but it came up a structure in a service but it came up a structure in a service but it came up a few times in some of the the comments few times in some of the the comments few times in some of the the comments that came in from folks saying like hey that came in from folks saying like hey that came in from folks saying like hey as a new visitor this is the thing as a new visitor this is the thing as a new visitor this is the thing that's like that just makes me feel that's like that just makes me feel that's like that just makes me feel disoriented in a church service and the disoriented in a church service and the disoriented in a church service and the host job serves to actually um touch on host job serves to actually um touch on host job serves to actually um touch on on multiple areas of this and to address on multiple areas of this and to address on multiple areas of this and to address the this thing we're talking about which the this thing we're talking about which the this thing we're talking about which is the fluidity of the experience that is the fluidity of the experience that is the fluidity of the experience that we are trying to curate you know you and we are trying to curate you know you and we are trying to curate you know you and I recently had uh at a restaurant in I recently had uh at a restaurant in I recently had uh at a restaurant in Montreal it's funny I was thinking about Montreal it's funny I was thinking about Montreal it's funny I was thinking about the exact same thing and we had three the exact same thing and we had three the exact same thing and we had three dinners three nights in a row three just dinners three nights in a row three just dinners three nights in a row three just top tier restaurants and the one that top tier restaurants and the one that top tier restaurants and the one that stood out the food was great all like stood out the food was great all like stood out the food was great all like across the board right but the one that across the board right but the one that across the board right but the one that stood out was when the host insulted me stood out was when the host insulted me stood out was when the host insulted me nope no exactly no the one that stood nope no exactly no the one that stood nope no exactly no the one that stood out was when we had a server who made out was when we had a server who made out was when we had a server who made the entire evening the entire evening the entire evening feel like effortless and fun and set the feel like effortless and fun and set the feel like effortless and fun and set the pace for what we were to experience and pace for what we were to experience and pace for what we were to experience and in hindsight we sat we were there for in hindsight we sat we were there for in hindsight we sat we were there for like 3 hours like it was like maybe one like 3 hours like it was like maybe one like 3 hours like it was like maybe one of the longest meals I've ever had in a of the longest meals I've ever had in a of the longest meals I've ever had in a restaurant and it felt it did not feel restaurant and it felt it did not feel restaurant and it felt it did not feel like it lingered for one moment what I'm like it lingered for one moment what I'm like it lingered for one moment what I'm trying to say is he took control of our trying to say is he took control of our trying to say is he took control of our experience and catered it for us in a experience and catered it for us in a experience and catered it for us in a way that that just made it feel good and way that that just made it feel good and way that that just made it feel good and that's part of the essential role that that's part of the essential role that that's part of the essential role that the host plays um Beyond just announcing the host plays um Beyond just announcing the host plays um Beyond just announcing what we fundraising for and this that what we fundraising for and this that what we fundraising for and this that and the other but they kind of are are and the other but they kind of are are and the other but they kind of are are the glue that holds each piece of the the glue that holds each piece of the the glue that holds each piece of the service together that that really serves

  4. service together that that really serves service together that that really serves to accomplish like a fluid feeling to accomplish like a fluid feeling to accomplish like a fluid feeling experience um and you know we said on experience um and you know we said on experience um and you know we said on last week's episode we're going to say last week's episode we're going to say last week's episode we're going to say it again on this show like a lot of the it again on this show like a lot of the it again on this show like a lot of the a lot of the folks who work in church a lot of the folks who work in church a lot of the folks who work in church maybe folks who are listening to the maybe folks who are listening to the maybe folks who are listening to the show haven't been a new visitor haven't show haven't been a new visitor haven't show haven't been a new visitor haven't haven't been on the the receiving end of haven't been on the the receiving end of haven't been on the the receiving end of a church experience for a while so maybe a church experience for a while so maybe a church experience for a while so maybe we we we tend to get a little bit out of we we we tend to get a little bit out of we we we tend to get a little bit out of touch with like how our church service touch with like how our church service touch with like how our church service is EXP experienced or even perceived the is EXP experienced or even perceived the is EXP experienced or even perceived the host ensures that everything is flowing host ensures that everything is flowing host ensures that everything is flowing and that anyone who shows up in the room and that anyone who shows up in the room and that anyone who shows up in the room whether they are a longtime member or whether they are a longtime member or whether they are a longtime member or first-time visitor feels like oh we were first-time visitor feels like oh we were first-time visitor feels like oh we were we were moving in a direction and I feel we were moving in a direction and I feel we were moving in a direction and I feel like someone guided me along that entire like someone guided me along that entire like someone guided me along that entire journey two primary objectives for the journey two primary objectives for the journey two primary objectives for the host at church number one get trust and host at church number one get trust and host at church number one get trust and buy in from the congregation and number buy in from the congregation and number buy in from the congregation and number two propel them to get involved and take two propel them to get involved and take two propel them to get involved and take a Next Step you want to think about a a Next Step you want to think about a a Next Step you want to think about a host at a restaurant you been at a host at a restaurant you been at a host at a restaurant you been at a restaurant and you've been with someone restaurant and you've been with someone restaurant and you've been with someone or you've asked this question yourself or you've asked this question yourself or you've asked this question yourself what would you recommend you're doing what would you recommend you're doing what would you recommend you're doing that because you want to have the best that because you want to have the best that because you want to have the best experience possible and you're putting experience possible and you're putting experience possible and you're putting trust in that host in that server to trust in that host in that server to trust in that host in that server to guide you in the right direction and guide you in the right direction and guide you in the right direction and hopefully they point you in the right hopefully they point you in the right hopefully they point you in the right direction otherwise you might choose direction otherwise you might choose direction otherwise you might choose something that you're not having a great something that you're not having a great something that you're not having a great time with similarly not identically time with similarly not identically time with similarly not identically similarly in church you as the host are similarly in church you as the host are similarly in church you as the host are basically creating space for the people basically creating space for the people basically creating space for the people that are seated in the pews to fully that are seated in the pews to fully that are seated in the pews to fully give their all in the church service and give their all in the church service and give their all in the church service and so they understand we're doing this now so they understand we're doing this now so they understand we're doing this now then we're doing this this is the

how I'm expected to get involved this is how I'm expected to get involved this is how I'm expected to get involved this is the purpose of this program and this is the purpose of this program and this is the purpose of this program and this is what is expected from me when this is what is expected from me when this is what is expected from me when you tie all those pieces together as a you tie all those pieces together as a you tie all those pieces together as a host and we have you know word by word host and we have you know word by word host and we have you know word by word scripts that we're going to get to here scripts that we're going to get to here scripts that we're going to get to here in a moment when you tie all those in a moment when you tie all those in a moment when you

of prominence because they have another task where they're the only one

  8. another task where they're the only one another task where they're the only one on stage and they have to focus on this on stage and they have to focus on this on stage and they have to focus on this so if there's nothing you take from this so if there's nothing you take from this so if there's nothing you take from this episode it should be this installing a episode it should be this installing a episode it should be this installing a host where that's their primary host where that's their primary host where that's their primary responsibility is the most important responsibility is the most important responsibility is the most important part of having a host to begin with part of having a host to begin with part of having a host to begin with because when you leave it to the worship because when you leave it to the worship because when you leave it to the worship Pastor when you leave it to the person Pastor when you leave it to the person Pastor when you leave it to the

have the go oh you know I just don't have the go oh you know I just don't have the bandwidth for this or we don't have the bandwidth for this or we don't have the bandwidth for this or we don't have the right person for it you don't have any right person for it you don't have any right person for it you don't have any person for it you need to give someone person for it you need to give someone person for it you need to give someone this responsibility and then let them this responsibility and then let them this responsibility and then let them figure it out as they go because the figure it out as they go because the figure it out as they go because the host needs do differ from church to host needs do differ from church to host needs do differ from church to church and I I understand that this can church and I I understand that this can church and I I understand that this can be a challenging part of these kinds of be a challenging part of these kinds of be a challenging part of these kinds of episodes because people are like well I episodes because people are like well I episodes because people are like well I don't have a host in my church like how don't have a host in my church like how don't have a host in my church like how do we do it and we can talk about do we do it and we can talk about do we do it and we can talk about personal experience from our own personal experience from our own personal experience from our own churches where we've done these things churches where we've done these things churches where we've done these things but your needs might differ and that's but your needs might differ and that's but your needs might differ and that's why if nothing else putting someone in why if nothing else putting someone in why if nothing else

  10. host for nearly 2,000 years except it's host for nearly 2,000 years except it's called a presider the presider is the called a presider the presider is the called a presider the presider is the worship leader for the whole worship leader for the whole worship leader for the whole service they're they're leading service they're they're leading service they're they're leading everything that happens in the service everything that happens in the service everything that happens in the service the presider welcomes the people leads the presider welcomes the people leads the presider welcomes the people leads the prayers and the entire liturgy it the prayers and the entire liturgy it the prayers and the entire liturgy it often also includes the preaching though often also includes the preaching though often also includes the preaching though not necessarily they preside at Holy not necessarily they preside at Holy not necessarily they preside at Holy commun and give us the closing blessing commun and give us the closing blessing commun and give us the closing blessing if you don't divorce yourself from the if you don't divorce yourself from the if you don't divorce yourself from the Traditions the church has inherited then Traditions the church has inherited then Traditions the church has inherited then you don't have to make things up as you you don't have to make things up as you you don't have to make things up as you go and best of all the Liturgy engages go and best of all the Liturgy engages go and best of all the Liturgy engages worshippers and flows beautifully no worshippers and flows beautifully no worshippers and flows beautifully no awkward transition periods so first of awkward transition periods so first of awkward transition periods so first of all if you have the criticism that this all if you have the criticism that this all if you have the criticism that this is something that the church is doing is something that the church is doing is something that the church is doing because we're copying the secular World because we're copying the secular World because we're copying the secular World shame on you shame on you for not shame on you shame on you for not shame on you shame on you for not observing the ancient traditions of the observing the ancient traditions of the observing the ancient traditions of the church perhaps listener if you actually church perhaps listener if you actually church perhaps listener if you actually studied studied studied okay the the the fathers and mothers of okay the the the fathers and mothers of okay the the the fathers and mothers of the faith that came before us you would the faith that came before us you would the faith that came before us you would presider oh oh sorry oh this is the this presider oh oh sorry oh this is the this presider oh oh sorry oh this is the this is the secular world no this is the is the secular world no this is the is the secular world no this is the ancient Church okay we've been doing it ancient Church okay we've been doing it ancient Church okay we've been doing it for so long we've influenced so many for so long we've influenced so many for so long we've influenced so many generations that the secular world has generations that the secular world has generations that the secular world has actually stolen it from us and we're actually stolen it from us and we're actually stolen it from us and we're stealing it back that's right we're just stealing it back that's right we're just stealing it back that's right we're just bringing back the presider right do you bringing back the presider right do you bringing back the presider right do you as someone that cares about the ancient as someone that cares about the ancient as someone that cares about the ancient traditions and liturgies uh is there traditions and liturgies uh is there traditions and liturgies uh is there some Merit in this comment despite it's some Merit in this comment despite it's some Merit in this comment despite it's uh honestly I I think there's a ton of uh honestly I I think there's a ton of uh honestly I I think there's a ton of Merit to it again on last week's episode Merit to it again on last week's episode Merit to it again on last week's episode we talked about like printed order of we talked about like printed order of we talked about like printed order of service and asking the question like service and asking the question like service and asking the question like does this deserve a place in our modern does this deserve a place in our modern does this deserve a place in our modern worship services and I I think this is worship services and I I think this is worship services and I I think this is in the similar vein which is the in the similar vein which is the in the similar vein which is the lurgical um Church the mainline church

  11. lurgical um Church the mainline church lurgical um Church the mainline church has um they have rights they have orders has um they have rights they have orders has um they have rights they have orders of services they have liturgy that they of services they have liturgy that they of services they have liturgy that they follow week after week after week that follow week after week after week that follow week after week after week that that really does keep things on track that really does keep things on track that really does keep things on track that really does in some in some ways that really does in some in some ways that really does in some in some ways and and they do have a presider they do and and they do have a presider they do and and they do have a presider they do have a host but in some ways it actually have a host but in some ways it actually have a host but in some ways it actually eliminates the need for a host because eliminates the need for a host because eliminates the need for a host because everyone at church knows what's coming everyone at church knows what's coming everyone at church knows what's coming up next and so this rhythm of church um up next and so this rhythm of church um up next and so this rhythm of church um may be for to some of our listeners but may be for to some of our listeners but may be for to some of our listeners but has been installed for quite a long time has been installed for quite a long time has been installed for quite a long time and plenty of churches have been happy and plenty of churches have been happy and plenty of churches have been happy with the expectation of of that type of with the expectation of of that type of with the expectation of of that type of service so I think there is Merit to the service so I think there is Merit to the service so I think there is Merit to the question um regardless the comment question um regardless the comment question um regardless the comment regardless of maybe the the tone let's regardless of maybe the the tone let's regardless of maybe the the tone let's get into some scripting options here uh get into some scripting options here uh get into some scripting options here uh just reading one that was suggested in just reading one that was suggested in just reading one that was suggested in the YouTube comments before we get into the YouTube comments before we get into the YouTube comments before we get into our own quote I remember remember one our own quote I remember remember one our own quote I remember remember one time I was at Texas Roadhouse and they time I was at Texas Roadhouse and they time I was at Texas Roadhouse and they changed the first impression engagement changed the first impression engagement changed the first impression engagement to saying quote how was your last visit to saying quote how was your last visit to saying quote how was your last visit with us and that would prompt someone to with us and that would prompt someone to with us and that would prompt someone to say either great or this is our first say either great or this is our first say either great or this is our first time I thought that would be a better time I thought that would be a better time I thought that would be a better modified greeting option for churches modified greeting option for churches modified greeting option for churches something to something to something to consider so that's one I prefer to use consider so that's one I prefer to use consider so that's one I prefer to use the word guest over new or visitor I the word guest over new or visitor I the word guest over new or visitor I think guest is a more broad term that is think guest is a more broad term that is think guest is a more broad term that is inclusive of more potential people if inclusive of more potential people if inclusive of more potential people if you say just the word new a person might you say just the word new a person might you say just the word new a person might think to themselves I'm not included in think to themselves I'm not included in think to themselves I'm not included in that I do prefer new over visitor which that I do prefer new over visitor which that I do prefer new over visitor which I think is the worst because new could I think is the worst because new could I think is the worst because new could mean first time but it doesn't mean first time but it doesn't mean first time but it doesn't necessarily mean first time and first necessarily mean first time and first necessarily mean first time and first time might be the worst of them all

  12. time might be the worst of them all time might be the worst of them all certainly the worst so just simple certainly the worst so just simple certainly the worst so just simple changes of wording can make a big deal changes of wording can make a big deal changes of wording can make a big deal because if you're a church where you because if you're a church where you because if you're a church where you don't have new people all the time you don't have new people all the time you don't have new people all the time you might be like this doesn't apply to me might be like this doesn't apply to me might be like this doesn't apply to me because I can't say if you're new or if because I can't say if you're new or if because I can't say if you're new or if it's your first time because we all know it's your first time because we all know it's your first time because we all know that that doesn't include anyone okay that that doesn't include anyone okay that that doesn't include anyone okay but if you say the word guest that could but if you say the word guest that could but if you say the word guest that could include someone that brought someone include someone that brought someone include someone that brought someone with them that could include any number with them that could include any number with them that could include any number of folks that could fall under that of folks that could fall under that of folks that could fall under that category I think one of the biggest category I think one of the biggest category I think one of the biggest biggest tips that we can give people has biggest tips that we can give people has biggest tips that we can give people has to do with where you point people to to do with where you point people to to do with where you point people to take action uh every church is going to take action uh every church is going to take action uh every church is going to have different departments different have different departments different have different departments different Ministry needs uh different strengths Ministry needs uh different strengths Ministry needs uh different strengths and weaknesses with hosts uh and so and weaknesses with hosts uh and so and weaknesses with hosts uh and so they're going to highlight different they're going to highlight different they're going to highlight different things but what's true for every church things but what's true for every church things but what's true for every church is that once you have uh introduced a is that once you have uh introduced a is that once you have uh introduced a Ministry once you have delivered an Ministry once you have delivered an Ministry once you have delivered an announcement there has to be a point announcement there has to be a point announcement there has to be a point where you say and if you want where you say and if you want where you say and if you want get involved do this and my time tested get involved do this and my time tested get involved do this and my time tested strategy for this is very simple there strategy for this is very simple there strategy for this is very simple there are two connect cards in the seat back are two connect cards in the seat back are two connect cards in the seat back in front of you one is green one is blue in front of you one is green one is blue in front of you one is green one is blue insert your brand colors as needed one insert your brand colors as needed one insert your brand colors as needed one is black one is white one is yellow one is black one is white one is yellow one is black one is white one is yellow one is orange whatever your brand colors are is orange whatever your brand colors are is orange whatever your brand colors are one of those colors is for guests and so one of those colors is for guests and so one of those colors is for guests and so when you're talking about guests you can when you're talking about guests you can when you're talking about guests you can say to them and we'd love to get in say to them and we'd love to get in say to them and we'd love to get in touch with you or we'd love to meet you touch with you or we'd love to meet you touch with you or we'd love to meet you for the first time just uh pick up the for the first time just uh pick up the for the first time just uh pick up the blue card and scan the QR code in the blue card and scan the QR code in the blue card and scan the QR code in the back or head to the big blue wall in the back or head to the big blue wall in the back or head to the big blue wall in the lobby that says connect and so now it's lobby that says connect and so now it's lobby that says connect and so now it's very clear for that person what they very clear for that person what they very clear for that person what they need to do if they want to get involved need to do if they want to get involved need to do if they want to get involved and then you say for the green card and

  13. and then you say for the green card and and then you say for the green card and if you are part of the regular family if you are part of the regular family if you are part of the regular family here we'd love for you to get connected here we'd love for you to get connected here we'd love for you to get connected with all the ministry options we have uh with all the ministry options we have uh with all the ministry options we have uh just scan the QR code on the back of the just scan the QR code on the back of the just scan the QR code on the back of the green card or head to the big green wall green card or head to the big green wall green card or head to the big green wall in the lobby or you can say the blue in the lobby or you can say the blue in the lobby or you can say the blue wall again whatever it might be having wall again whatever it might be having wall again whatever it might be having simple color-coded options one for simple color-coded options one for simple color-coded options one for getting involved for the first time getting involved for the first time getting involved for the first time other for taking your current next step other for taking your current next step other for taking your current next step and using those this is the key as the and using those this is the key as the and using those this is the key as the only calls to action over and over and only calls to action over and over and only calls to action over and over and over again is how you inspire people to over again is how you inspire people to over again is how you inspire people to take action and this is what most people take action and this is what most people take action and this is what most people miss it won't work like that the first miss it won't work like that the first miss it won't work like that the first time but the language you use becomes time but the language you use becomes time but the language you use becomes the culture that you build so as you've the culture that you build so as you've the culture that you build so as you've said that for 14 straight Sundays when said that for 14 straight Sundays when said that for 14 straight Sundays when it's finally you know Martha's time to it's finally you know Martha's time to it's finally you know Martha's time to get involved and the first few things get involved and the first few things get involved and the first few things weren't relevant to her or she didn't weren't relevant to her or she didn't weren't relevant to her or she didn't care it has been ingrained into her care it has been ingrained into her care it has been ingrained into her exactly where she needs to go now you're exactly where she needs to go now you're exactly where she needs to go now you're limiting the amount of feedback from limiting the amount of feedback from limiting the amount of feedback from folks I didn't even know that was folks I didn't even know that was folks I didn't even know that was happening or I didn't know where to go happening or I didn't know where to go happening or I didn't know where to go because it's ingrained into the culture because it's ingrained into the culture because it's ingrained into the culture because your next step call to action is because your next step call to action is because your next step call to action is always identical every week so give it always identical every week so give it always identical every week so give it to me you're Brady at Central you're to me you're Brady at Central you're to me you're Brady at Central you're playing host you get up on stage what playing host you get up on stage what playing host you get up on stage what are you are you are you saying so this has morphed and evolved saying so this has morphed and evolved saying so this has morphed and evolved over the years um but when I'm over the years um but when I'm over the years um but when I'm introducing myself for the first time introducing myself for the first time introducing myself for the first time one of my simplest things things I like one of my simplest things things I like one of my simplest things things I like to say is well hey there nice which I to say is well hey there nice which I to say is well hey there nice which I well hey there welcome to church this well hey there welcome to church this well hey there welcome to church this morning so happy you chose to spend part morning so happy you chose to spend part morning so happy you chose to spend part of your Sunday with us uh that's kind of of your Sunday with us uh that's kind of of your Sunday with us uh that's kind of my favorite way to kick things off my favorite way to kick things off my favorite way to kick things off whether I'm coming out a few minutes whether I'm coming out a few minutes whether I'm coming out a few minutes before the countdown ends whether I'm
