For years I've wanted to use my youtube account for something other than watching videos and subscribing to channels. Now, I have a fabulous way to use it!
How did this idea start?
I was watching a video from Victor King and he was talking about this idea of his called Kingdom Mentality which is the idea that we have gifts, abilities, and dreams and they are our inheritance. Now, that soundly oddly familiar to me because it sounded just like what Christopher Hopper was teaching us at Dibor.
It got me thinking, people may not watch my videos because they probably won't be entertaining since I am not a comedian, I'm not a good enough singer, I don't have a weird talent, and I am not camera/internet/ tech savvy. I know some things but my videos would be pretty low tech.
AND THE IDEA.....??????
Kingdom Culture! Talking about kingdom ideas and principles that are in every day life. That are relevant to people like you and me today. What God is trying to bring to your life everyday! And it's not a bunch of:
~~~
"Well it says in the book of Acts....blah blah... so we need to find ways to implement that into our every day lives...."
'Great. How am I suppose to do that? This is boring. I'm going to go watch something not so lame.'
And then they turn it off and no one watches my channel. What a wast of time for them, for you, and for me.
~~~
But what wouldn't be a waste is to speak about truth and power that God wants to bring in our daily lives. Giving us something to be passionate about. To fight for. To put our creativity and intelligence into things that would seem minor to others but are monumental to the kingdom. And to me, if ONE person, only one, sees 10 seconds of one of my videos and it brings more of kingdom living to their lives it would not be wasted.
Like Christopher kept trying to get across to us is that we have Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, cell phones that can record video, send instant messages to anyone around the world, all this power and ability, literally, in our pockets, at the press of a button (or a couple) and we as Christians have not been using to the full effect as the world has. We've used it some but the world makes better use for God's inventions than we do! (they are God's ideas in the first place)
So, What Are We Going To Do About It?
Well, I'm going to start a Vlog talking about this kind of stuff. But if it's something I wouldn't watch while browsing through youtube then I'm not posting it. So look out for it.
