sermon clips got the most impressions? sermon clips got the most impressions? It wasn't always the singular post cuz It wasn't always the singular post cuz It wasn't always the singular post cuz usually if a church says, "Happy usually if a church says, "Happy usually if a church says, "Happy birthday, pastor." That will always get birthday, pastor." That will always get birthday, pastor." That will always get the most impressions. If only we could the most impressions. If only we could the most impressions. If only we could post that every single day, that would post that every single day, that would post that every single day, that would make things a lot easier. make things a lot easier. make things a lot easier. >> So, what we've also done is take all >> So, what we've also done is take all >> So, what we've also done is take all these hooks. I think there are 62 of these hooks. I think there are 62 of these hooks. I think there are 62 of them and they are in a download linked them and they are in a download linked them and they are in a download linked in the description on this podcast. So, in the description on this podcast. So, in the description on this podcast. So, we're going to read through them all. we're going to read through them all. we're going to read through them all. What I've done also is categorize them What I've done also is categorize them What I've done also is categorize them into five categories because what I into five categories because what I into five categories because what I noticed was there was certain through noticed was there was certain through noticed was there was certain through lines that I was picking up on. Hey, lines that I was picking up on. Hey, lines that I was picking up on. Hey, there's a consistency when we approach a there's a consistency when we approach a there's a consistency when we approach a hook in this way. It tends to perform hook in this way. It tends to perform hook in this way. It tends to perform well. So, there's five different well. So, there's five different well. So, there's five different buckets. If you're like, "Ah, how am I buckets. If you're like, "Ah, how am I buckets. If you're like, "Ah, how am I going to keep track of all these hooks?" going to keep track of all these hooks?" going to keep track of all these hooks?" So, you can check that out. Of course, So, you can check that out. Of course, So, you can check that out. Of course, the title of this podcast is like steal the title of this podcast is like steal the title of this podcast is like steal these viral hooks, but they might not these viral hooks, but they might not these viral hooks, but they might not perfectly translate over to like your perfectly translate over to like your perfectly translate over to like your sermon clip. The idea here is sermon clip. The idea here is sermon clip. The idea here is recognizing the factors behind the exact recognizing the factors behind the exact recognizing the factors behind the exact words so that you can replicate that in words so that you can replicate that in words so that you can replicate that in your own hooks. Final thing we should your own hooks. Final thing we should your own hooks. Final thing we should talk about before we get into the five talk about before we get into the five talk about before we get into the five categories is that every hook is from a categories is that every hook is from a categories is that every hook is from a piece of content that was from a sermon.

And what's great about 62 hooks is that And what's great about 62 hooks is that And what's great about 62 hooks is that as you're listening to this, you can as you're listening to this, you can as you're listening to this, you can find ones that feel like they align with find ones that feel like they align with find ones that feel like they align with your way of writing. your way of writing. your way of writing. >> And uh that's what we're going to do >> And uh that's what we're going to do >> And uh that's what we're going to do here. here. here. >> Hey, before we get into them, if you're >> Hey, before we get into them, if you're >> Hey, before we get into them, if you're watching the show on YouTube, you watching the show on YouTube, you watching the show on YouTube, you probably clicked the title because it probably clicked the title because it probably clicked the title because it was compelling to you because you're was compelling to you because you're was compelling to you because you're always looking for more viral hooks for always looking for more viral hooks for always looking for more viral hooks for your uh social posts. It's possible your uh social posts. It's possible your uh social posts. It's possible though that you are in your podcast though that you are in your podcast though that you are in your podcast player and maybe this episode just player and maybe this episode just player and maybe this episode just autoplayed next from whatever you were autoplayed next from whatever you were autoplayed next from whatever you were listening to or maybe you've been listening to or maybe you've been listening to or maybe you've been following the show for some time and you following the show for some time and you following the show for some time and you you you know you listen a week at a time you you know you listen a week at a time you you know you listen a week at a time and this is this week's episode. Can you and this is this week's episode. Can you and this is this week's episode. Can you before we go on just briefly define a before we go on just briefly define a before we go on just briefly define a hook and describe its position on like a hook and describe its position on like a hook and describe its position on like a sermon reel? Right. So a social media sermon reel? Right. So a social media sermon reel? Right. So a social media post's success is largely determined by post's success is largely determined by post's success is largely determined by its hook. Let's say 80% of the outcome its hook. Let's say 80% of the outcome its hook. Let's say 80% of the outcome of a social post comes down to the hook. of a social post comes down to the hook. of a social post comes down to the hook. Everything that comes after is so far Everything that comes after is so far Everything that comes after is so far secondary because if you can't first secondary because if you can't first secondary because if you can't first earn someone's attention and stop their earn someone's attention and stop their earn someone's attention and stop their scroll, it really doesn't matter what scroll, it really doesn't matter what scroll, it really doesn't matter what comes next. Now, a hook looks different comes next. Now, a hook looks different comes next. Now, a hook looks different in different creative formats. So, a in different creative formats. So, a in different creative formats. So, a carousel would just be text on screen.

carousel would just be text on screen. carousel would just be text on screen. Um, a hook in a skit reel of a church Um, a hook in a skit reel of a church Um, a hook in a skit reel of a church might be like someone doing something might be like someone doing something might be like someone doing something kind of strange that makes you pause and kind of strange that makes you pause and kind of strange that makes you pause and go like, "What is happening here?" A go like, "What is happening here?" A go like, "What is happening here?" A hook in a sermon clip has the hook in a sermon clip has the hook in a sermon clip has the responsibility of one stopping the responsibility of one stopping the responsibility of one stopping the scroll of course chief importance there scroll of course chief importance there scroll of course chief importance there >> but then it also has to contextualize a >> but then it also has to contextualize a >> but then it also has to contextualize a person who's landing in the middle of a person who's landing in the middle of a person who's landing in the middle of a sermon that didn't see the rest of it. sermon that didn't see the rest of it. sermon that didn't see the rest of it. So the hook in a way is almost the key So the hook in a way is almost the key So the hook in a way is almost the key to unlock the remaining 30 60 90 seconds to unlock the remaining 30 60 90 seconds to unlock the remaining 30 60 90 seconds that come after so that a person can be that come after so that a person can be that come after so that a person can be like oh okay this is the subject matter like oh okay this is the subject matter like oh okay this is the subject matter this is the promise of this post and this is the promise of this post and this is the promise of this post and then they can immediately start then they can immediately start then they can immediately start understanding what's being said to them. understanding what's being said to them. understanding what's being said to them. >> So it's a in short it's a phrase or a >> So it's a in short it's a phrase or a >> So it's a in short it's a phrase or a title text on the screen that serves two title text on the screen that serves two title text on the screen that serves two purposes. One to gain attention to stop purposes. One to gain attention to stop purposes. One to gain attention to stop the scroll and then two to give context the scroll and then two to give context the scroll and then two to give context for whatever is about to unfold over the for whatever is about to unfold over the for whatever is about to unfold over the next 30 45 60 seconds. next 30 45 60 seconds. next 30 45 60 seconds. >> Yeah.

That's what this with this hook. That's what this with this hook. That's what this resource is for. The first category of resource is for. The first category of resource is for. The first category of hooks are inversion hooks. Inversion. hooks are inversion hooks. Inversion. hooks are inversion hooks. Inversion. So, let's read through a few of them. So, let's read through a few of them. So, let's read through a few of them. What club sports are really costing What club sports are really costing What club sports are really costing families? Holiness requires more than families? Holiness requires more than families? Holiness requires more than avoiding sin. Is ambition wrong? Why you avoiding sin. Is ambition wrong? Why you avoiding sin. Is ambition wrong? Why you can't trust your own understanding? can't trust your own understanding? can't trust your own understanding? We'll go on, but let's pause. The idea We'll go on, but let's pause. The idea We'll go on, but let's pause. The idea of an inversion hook is you present of an inversion hook is you present of an inversion hook is you present something that would be accepted as ah something that would be accepted as ah something that would be accepted as ah this is true and then you go this is true and then you go this is true and then you go >> or is it >> or is it >> or is it >> right? >> right? >> right? >> And the reason this is compelling is >> And the reason this is compelling is >> And the reason this is compelling is because common knowledge is rarely because common knowledge is rarely because common knowledge is rarely confronted. So when you confront confronted. So when you confront confronted. So when you confront something that is universally something that is universally something that is universally understood, what you're suggesting is understood, what you're suggesting is understood, what you're suggesting is that hey, there's actually something that hey, there's actually something that hey, there's actually something here that's going on that you're not here that's going on that you're not here that's going on that you're not aware of. And it's a bit of a a shocker aware of. And it's a bit of a a shocker aware of. And it's a bit of a a shocker because you're expecting one thing and because you're expecting one thing and because you're expecting one thing and then you get a different one. I also then you get a different one. I also then you get a different one. I also want to remind everyone each of these want to remind everyone each of these want to remind everyone each of these hooks is representative of one church's hooks is representative of one church's hooks is representative of one church's most highly shared, most impressions most highly shared, most impressions most highly shared, most impressions from a singular post in the last year.

So the inversion framework is heals us. So the inversion framework is heals us. So the inversion framework is incredibly potent and incredibly incredibly potent and incredibly incredibly potent and incredibly powerful and I think it lends itself powerful and I think it lends itself powerful and I think it lends itself really well to churches. Now you might really well to churches. Now you might really well to churches. Now you might be listening. You might be like I don't be listening. You might be like I don't be listening. You might be like I don't know if I like this copyrightiting flare know if I like this copyrightiting flare know if I like this copyrightiting flare to present something as not as it is to to present something as not as it is to to present something as not as it is to go against conventional wisdom. Ah bait go against conventional wisdom. Ah bait go against conventional wisdom. Ah bait and switch. No not bait and switch. and switch. No not bait and switch. and switch. No not bait and switch. Consider the faith that we hold to the Consider the faith that we hold to the Consider the faith that we hold to the upside down kingdom. The worldly upside down kingdom. The worldly upside down kingdom. The worldly knowledge going against what we know the knowledge going against what we know the knowledge going against what we know the wisdom of God is. They are often at wisdom of God is. They are often at wisdom of God is. They are often at odds. They are antithetical to one odds. They are antithetical to one odds. They are antithetical to one another. So by virtue of that, as we another. So by virtue of that, as we another. So by virtue of that, as we repurpose our sermon clips, the sermon repurpose our sermon clips, the sermon repurpose our sermon clips, the sermon themselves should basically be going, themselves should basically be going, themselves should basically be going, you've heard it said, Jesus says this.

The inversion framework of presenting truth is framework of presenting truth is framework of presenting truth is incredibly psychologically compelling. incredibly psychologically compelling. incredibly psychologically compelling. Yeah. And it also overlaps with how the Yeah. And it also overlaps with how the Yeah.
