Video is the new black.
We’re all going to need to figure out what types of video we should be making. Don’t say sermon clips; we’ve been doing that for years now. I’m asking “what are you going to upload to YouTube?”
What would you post on social media if you didn’t have a service each week? Brady Shearer has been asking communicators that question recently and I have been brainstorming an answer. Probably Star Wars memes. Spiritual stuff too, but a lot of Star Wars memes.
We know video should be a focus and YouTube is the platform. So if you’re going to jump into video and start a YouTube channel, I’m going to jump right to the good stuff and throw out a bunch of ideas for content that you could make at your church to launch a fun, helpful, and meaningful YouTube channel.
…and I’ll just use the number 5 for everything that needs a number.
