Summary
In this video, I go over exactly what these ministry progress summary videos are, and also how they are different from the daily progress summary videos that I upload on a separate YouTube channel.

About these ministry progress summaries
At a high level, these videos will be a whirlwind overview of all recent ministry progress and news, sent out every couple weeks. These are made for everyone who wants to keep an eye on what’s new.
Most of of the ministry highlights from the given time-window are hit, and then I give a brief description of the goals for the next bit (although not with great specificity, as sometimes my plans change).
I try to keep everything nice and short, so that people don’t have to spend very long to learn about what’s going on.
These are different than the daily progress summary videos on the other YouTube channel
I run a separate YouTube channel where I dump daily vlogs that go over the day-by-day nitty-gritty details of what I do every day (and not just the things related to this ministry, but everything – including my output from my other websites).
These are honestly as much for me as for anyone else, so that I can find things over time if I ever need to reference something I’ve done or thought on, and so that I can keep myself very organized day-by-day, trying to keep in mind all the spiritual pressure that should drive me. Many people probably won’t be interested in these, which is completely logical.
It’s honestly kind of shocking how much work goes into (has gone into) everything, so if you’re ever curious in peering behind the curtain a bit, this would be where you might glimpse some of the thought and effort that has to happen (has happened) to make it all go round.
Although, in these daily progress summary videos, I do ramble about anything and everything I am interested in too, which isn’t as relevant for that purpose of seeing the mechanics.
Although, if you wish to get a better idea of who I am as an individual – to put a person and a face to the materials offered here – well, these videos would be good for that too.
Video/audio transcript
0:00 - hey guys so right now i’m going to be
0:02 - making the introductory video here for
0:04 - ministry progress summaries and so this
0:07 - is going to be the playlist here on the
0:09 - ministry channel where i go over the
0:11 - updates week by week i guess maybe not
0:14 - every week maybe every couple weeks here
0:15 - but the consistent regular updates about
0:18 - the progress and the things that are
0:20 - going on in this ministry so we’re going
0:22 - to go through several slides here this
0:23 - intro video will be pretty short and
0:25 - then the updates as we go here kind of
0:28 - over the weeks as we make progress
0:30 - you’ll get a sense for
0:31 - the
0:33 - direction in which things are kind of
0:34 - being taken on the website and also what
0:37 - content you might not have seen yet and
0:39 - so with that i’ll go ahead and hit the
0:42 - slideshow presentation here and we’ll go
0:44 - ahead and take a look at exactly what
0:47 - these
0:48 - ministry progress summary videos are
0:49 - supposed to be about
0:51 - all right so here’s our slide
0:53 - presentation here and this is just going
0:55 - to be a couple slides going over again
0:57 - the purpose here and what exactly these
1:00 - are for so first we’re going to talk
1:02 - exactly about what these ministry
1:03 - progress summary videos are and then i’m
1:05 - just going to spend a little bit of time
1:07 - talking about how they’re different than
1:08 - the daily progress summary videos that i
1:10 - have up on a different youtube channel
1:13 - so these videos here at a high level are
1:15 - supposed to kind of be a whirlwind
1:16 - overview of all of the recent ministry
1:19 - progress and news and i’m going to be
1:21 - sending these out probably once every
1:23 - couple weeks that’s going to be about
1:24 - the frequency for these videos here
1:27 - and these are kind of made the target
1:29 - audience here is for everyone who wants
1:31 - to keep an eye on what’s new with the
1:33 - ministry so
1:34 - um
1:35 - anyone you know friends family people
1:37 - who have subscribed to the youtube
1:38 - channel people who are following the
1:40 - ministry in general
1:42 - as to the content of these videos it’s
1:44 - mostly going to be the highlights from
1:46 - the given time window like i said about
1:48 - every two weeks here
1:50 - so all of the new content that’s there
1:52 - maybe several prayer requests that
1:54 - things are really important or just kind
1:56 - of the news going on in the ministry
1:58 - within this time period
2:00 - and then after i go through kind of what
2:03 - actually got done within the time period
2:04 - i’ll spend a little bit of time going
2:06 - over what my goals for the next time are
2:08 - although not with too too much
2:10 - specificity just because sometimes
2:12 - things change and i might change courses
2:14 - so i’m not completely locked in but i do
2:17 - generally try to give an idea here of
2:19 - what the next things i’m going to focus
2:21 - on will be
2:22 - so conciseness isn’t exactly a strength
2:24 - of mine but i am going to take pains to
2:26 - try to keep these videos pretty short
2:28 - overall just so that way people will be
2:30 - able to
2:32 - learn all about the new things going on
2:35 - with the ministry without having to
2:36 - spend too much time to do so
2:38 - so that’s basically the overall
2:41 - picture here of what these ministry
2:44 - progress summary videos are about and so
2:46 - the other thing that we’re going to go
2:47 - over here in this video is just going to
2:48 - be a little note about what makes these
2:50 - things different from the daily progress
2:52 - summary videos so i have another youtube
2:54 - channel here and i’ll go ahead and click
2:56 - this link and this youtube channel it’s
2:59 - a separate one you know that way people
3:01 - who subscribe won’t get spammed with
3:03 - videos from this other channel and so
3:06 - this channel has a kind of day-by-day
3:08 - breakdowns of all of the work that i get
3:10 - done
3:11 - and so i started this channel a while
3:13 - back and
3:14 - you know it has you know day by day so
3:17 - over the weeks and months just a
3:19 - breakdown of all of the tasks that i get
3:21 - done in a given time period now not all
3:24 - of the tasks that are show up here are
3:26 - ministry related because i do have a
3:29 - couple other websites and you know some
3:31 - of my work
3:33 - relating to those things will show up in
3:35 - those videos as well
3:37 - but that is more the nitty gritty day by
3:40 - day account of all of the things that i
3:42 - get done whereas these ministry progress
3:44 - summary videos are intended to be just a
3:46 - higher overview of the ministry progress
3:49 - that’s being made
3:50 - so these videos in the other playlist
3:52 - are honestly just as much for me as for
3:54 - anyone else so that i can find things
3:56 - over time if i ever need to reference
3:57 - something i’ve done or thought on and so
3:59 - that i can keep myself really organized
4:01 - day by day
4:02 - trying to keep in mind all of the
4:04 - spiritual pressure that should drive me
4:05 - so we have
4:06 - all of these things that we can keep in
4:08 - mind to
4:10 - help light a fire beneath us as
4:11 - christians you know uh the service that
4:14 - we are called to as members of the body
4:16 - of christ and the ministries that we
4:18 - have all individually been assigned and
4:20 - things like that i just try to
4:22 - keep myself on task day by day so that i
4:24 - can keep in mind all the things that we
4:26 - should be about all right so why am i
4:29 - even bringing this other video series up
4:31 - here and so uh one reason is because
4:34 - anyone who’s interested in some of the
4:36 - work that goes into creating some of the
4:39 - ministry content here so the videos and
4:41 - the website and things like that well if
4:43 - you ever want to peer behind the curtain
4:45 - a bit uh this other series that i’m
4:47 - mentioning here would kind of be the
4:48 - place to do so because i talk about some
4:50 - of the work that
4:51 - i’ve done in these areas to make
4:53 - everything work and kind of
4:56 - all of the things that are involved in
4:57 - making it all go round you can get a
5:00 - feel for
5:01 - more of the technical nitty gritty
5:03 - details in terms of how i implement
5:05 - things in some of those videos there
5:08 - and then
5:09 - just because i do go over other things
5:11 - so things relating to my interests and
5:13 - the other websites i have if you want to
5:15 - get to know me as an individual better
5:17 - so you want to put a person and a face
5:19 - to the materials offered here so to
5:21 - speak well those videos would also be
5:23 - good for that
5:24 - but since this is ultimately the intro
5:27 - video for the ministry progress videos i
5:29 - am just bringing these up as a point of
5:31 - contrast so these videos here in this
5:33 - series will be entirely about the things
5:36 - related to the progress made on the
5:38 - ministry front but if you either want to
5:40 - see about how things are made or you
5:42 - want to get to know me a little bit
5:43 - better as an individual
5:45 - you can go ahead and check out the other
5:47 - playlist linked here in the slides
5:49 - and well that’s going to be it here for
5:51 - today so this video very short just
5:53 - giving a little bit of a high level
5:54 - overview as to what these ministry
5:56 - progress summary videos are so if you
5:58 - stay tuned the other videos in this
6:00 - series will be giving that account
6:02 - period by period of all of the progress
6:05 - and all of the new things that are going
6:06 - on in this ministry
