Big changes on social media that have churches worried
Where is the preset? its not working
Here you go! prochurchtools.com/presets
Appreciate the vid. Currently dealing with the frustration of working very hard to NOT be that frustrating church staff member but inevitably being that frustrating church staff member anyway. Sigh.
Haha. Sometimes I leave a day at the office and think, “Man, I sucked today.” You’re not alone. - Brady
Anyone using free presentation software?
I switched my church over to Presenter by Worship Tools (formerly WorshipExtreme) in 2020. The free version surpassed my expectations, it's incredible!
Praise God for you guys. I've been following Brady for a while now and am truly blessed with his videos. Although I live in the Philippines serving a super small church, it does mean kinda tweaking the tips and trends to cater to our church but it does make me put into perspective on what works and what doesn't in our church. Thank you and God bless ❤️
Is it bad that I want your latest take on Drake 😆?
Talk to me after the Super Bowl. - Brady
@@prochurchtoolsshow 😆
Hey all! This video is being published a week later than we had originally planned. Meaning, some of the dates we use in the TikTok segment will be wrong. The takeaways remain the same!
I’m a Christian business owner. I’ve always looked for ways to offer my time or service at no cost. I’ve considered going the nonprofit route but never wanted the extra oversight and management requirements. This might change everything!
Language guides…parameters of what to say?
She can’t even speak without looking at a prompt! If you’re passionate about something you will never require a feed of words!
as our campuses youth pastor, I am often stage hosting for our services. This was very helpful, some great language and thought in this video.
37 here! Definitely resonating with, "once you're 34, you're 40!" 😆 Thanks again for the great tips. I super appreciate the work you guys are doing!
Stay young!
Stayed til the end... I love the good stuff! 😄
Start a local House Church!
Watching this video has shown me how clueless the Christian Church has become.
So good! I grew up in the apartment complex across the street from the Lake Forest Campus and started attending Saddleback in 2000. Now, I live in Southern Oregon and attend/work at a local church. It was so fun to hear some familiar places mentioned (feeling nostalgia, fo sho!), and I look forward to sharing what I've learned here at my church! 🤗
That is so cool. I know the complex you are talking about.
@@JayKranda I remember hearing worship from my bedroom!
As someone who can't travel on Sunday, due to health and transport issues, online church is very useful... especially as I can 'attend' churches that I would not normally have considered, due to being not part of their strand of Christianity, or churches in their part of the world. I still haven't found an online community to be a part of yet... one day! 🙂
Sicko here, lol This is so helpful- I often feel if I had more "creative" chops this would be easier. Not so. Also thanks for the info re AI sided sermon clips. In the few times I have tried different tools it just never hits my "sweet" spot of what the sermon points are. And they don't pick up the unique preaching style of each of our pastors so it cuts off a sentence before or a sentence after.
how can i access the lightroom preset to use
Our current savings since we started asking for a discounts at the church I work at is over $10k. Adobe alone was huge.
We just left clickup for notion. Literally every major project management platform decided to charge full price for the ability to let guest to comment on tasks. My rep called me and told me our bill would go from $1,500 a year to $6000.
Thanks Brady. What are your thoughts on reading through the transcript to grab the section that you want to clip as opposed to watching the whole sermon?
That can work!
Thanks for having me on!
Yessir!
Best. Ending. Ever.
FIRST! FIRST! I get to comment and watch this video first! Watching this video so early, I get to see the uncanny thumbnail of some dude smiling at me! I'm so happy and honor!
Yikes. Let me fix that. - Brady
@@prochurchtoolsshow LOL, don't worry about it! One of my favorite and relatable things in the world of church communication and production are the hiccups and mistakes we all share. Its what helps me stay motivated to continue serving. "Its a feature, not a bug." Keep cooking, Brady!
Rev Burge you would be a welcome addition to the UMC.
🚗 I listened to the pod on my commute, but had to come here for the comment. As for your last point, it sounds as though churches should be looking for social media engineers more than creatives. 🤓 Engineers are perfectly adept at the three things it seems are required; proficient using of digital tools, highly acute attention to detail, and repetitious duplication of effort.
I don’t think you’re on the wrong path. There certainly is a creative component to it though. It’s very multidimensional and multidisciplined. So having a mind for both is ideal.
The convo about excellence is great. 80% but done in 2 hours is better than 100% done in 2 days. Especially if that last 20% doesn’t matter to anyone else other than us
The discussion about Reaching Broadly at 11:00 is a great help.
Thanks for sharing your wisdom. Question about your last point about doing videos well… obviously time is a big factor. Is it better to do something (even if it’s not the best it can be and AI compiled) rather than doing nothing?
The threshold for "good enough" is fluid and individual. At the end of the day, the audience is the judge of that. Of course, anything we create could always be better, at a certain point though, you just need to publish. On the other hand, posting just to post is more detrimental than helpful IMO.
So thankful for this show!
Appreciate you!
Are you still seeing pastors' accounts having more stickiness and efficacy then church social accounts? What's your current recommendation?
Yep! I don't expect that to ever change either. Humans will always connect more with humans than faceless orgs.
This is going to save us a lot of $$! Thank you!
Affinity is free for non-profit, schools etc. it does lack some of the newest Adobe features, but it is identical to Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign. Excellent software for a quarter of the price.
FreeShow is unbelievable as a presentation software.
OMG!! Its Benjamin!!! I love it!! He is so cool!!
Just found this site. Looks good so far (particularly talking about Christian Fellowship Pastor Allen Nolan). Just want to point out that the Bible Book Title is a/the most important subject to search for.
I just came to see what you guys thought about Drake 😂
And the lawsuit? Haha. I guess we’ll see how that plays out.
Why not Bitwarden for password protection and generation? I have used the free version of Bitwarden ever since LastPass increased costs and limited the function of their free version years ago.Also, you don't recommend Later for managing social media? For small churches it is quite sufficient at the free level.
Bye bye
FCPX (now 11) is not a sub.
Fcp is still 300 bucks. Subscription for iPad fcp
I’m pretty sure Trello and ClickUp explicitly exempt churches from receiving discounts.😢
Hello guys, a great and completely free software to replace ProPresenter, try out Holyrics
Microsoft Azure 2000$ grant annually free for nonprofits. You can host your website there of you know how to do it. If you are tech savvy Okta and Twilio offer generous free for nonprofits donations.
Affinity Yes🎉
Great additions!
Premiere Rush and some other online apps is also free with that Adobe Express offer. Descript has good discounts for nonprofits. 6$/month
Canva acquired Affinity so non-profits now get the Affinity suite for free as well!
I just turned 35. I don't know if I can follow you anymore after those comments about being 34 is the same as being 40!! Don't do that to me!! I have so much more life to live, Brady!!
@@jennabeuttler I’ve got five months left myself. May have been projecting a bit there. - Brady
@ I’m holding on pretty tightly to the “mid-30s” title for as long as I can!!

This video is much needed! Thank you for making it, Brady and Alexander!
Happy to!
