  Speaker 1: Maybe you're a new parent and your baby was up all night and you've just gotta make it through church.

  Speaker 1: What if you just got back from summer camp and you are dead tired while church is still happening?
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: What if you just got over being sick and you're good enough to be there, but you've had no time to prep because you've been puking all week?
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: There could be a lot of reasons.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: What do we do last minute?
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: A, when we can't teach, b, when we're too tired to teach, or C, when we just need a week off?

  Speaker 2: My name is Jeff Lascola and this is Kristen Lascola.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Today is a little bit of a follow-up from our last week's episode.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Last week, we talked about why you need multiple teachers that are in your rotation in youth ministry.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: You should go back and listen to that one, because we kind of ended by talking about how sometimes you need a break too.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of good reasons why you should have more teachers, one of those reasons being, if you're the primary teacher and you're teaching every single weekend, not only do your listeners get fatigued sorry, they might get tired of you but also you might get tired.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Or what about a weekend where you're exhausted?
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Maybe you're a new parent and your baby was up all night and you've just got to make it through church.

• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Well, church is still happening.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: What have you just got over being sick and you're good enough to be there?
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: but, you've had no time to prep because you've been puking all week.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: There could be a lot of reasons why.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: What if your dog?
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: We forget to put you in your little room and then you walk upstairs at 2.37 in the morning and make your way into our room.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Did this really happen Was?
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: there a weird dog in our room at 2.30 AM with her little 2.37 AM nails on the hardwood floor.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, today we're talking about not necessarily rotating more people, but what if you don't have the people?
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: And what if it's like I don't have anyone to guess, teach?
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: This was in a pinch.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: What do we do last minute?
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: A, when we can't teach, b, when we're too tired to teach, or C, when we just need a week off?
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: And we want to do something.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Feeling like you're on that hamster wheel of just doing the same thing and there's no breaks, no let up.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I could see that.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah because sometimes you're just like, for a personal reason or a professional reason or a family reason, you just can't pull off a message.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Now, this is use in case of emergency.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: This isn't something you can do every week, but today I'm going to give you eight tips for when you just can't teach, when you're just no.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: When you have a good reason.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so don't abuse these reasons or we'll come after you.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: We're not going to give them to you, can't ask we are because we trust you to use them responsibly, okay.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Put your hand up right, hand up left, hand over your heart.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: No, that's not how it goes.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: I promise it's not because I'm lazy.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: I promise I don't know.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Maybe you can be lazy when we I think God lets us kind of Sabbath it up, even in our job.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Take a nap, eat some cake.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Comment below Tell me what you think.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Okay, so my first one is called Alpha Youth series.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: They have a whole website called Alpha Youth and also they are on YouTube.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: I usually just play them straight off of YouTube like a pro.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: So all of these you know, like except for one which I'll kind of mention and it's up to you, all of these are free.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's amazing, alpha Youth.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: I get it off of YouTube and here's why I love it.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Number one great production quality.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: It's like these two guys are the hosts.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: They're young guys.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know how they are now because this is, you know, obviously came out a little bit ago I'm not sure what year, not that long ago and they're like in their 20s, probably these two guys that are best friends and they talk through spiritual concepts like prayer or Jesus or faith, different things like that, like why do we read the Bible?
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: It's kind of like Christian living type of things.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: And then they bring in a bunch of cool elements, like they interview people on the street, like that may or may not be Christians.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: They do testimonies from people, young and old.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: They use animations and illustrations, they change up the scenery like they're out in the forest and then they're driving in a car.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: It really keeps my attention and it really keeps the students' attention.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: So the other reason I love Alpha Youth series is because they have built in discussion so you're not off the hook completely, but it takes your lesson, it takes the bulk of the weight off of you, and so they'll do like a segment and then there'll be a question and then you pause the video and then you discuss a little bit with your students and then you restart it.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: So it's like a good break in the lesson where it's like, okay, we watched, we talked, now we watch again and my students love it, they look forward to it.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: I used to do it in between series to kind of give us a off week or a bye week where we're just like cleanse the palette for a new series coming up and a couple of times I didn't do it and I had a few students ask like what are we going to watch those videos again?
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: So it's great Again, it's free, great in a pinch, great for anything, but I use them sparingly because there's only like 12 or 15 of them I want to like I have students for three years so I can't just use them all the time because then we would have seen them all and then I'd be like shoot, I have no alphas left because I've done them all too recently.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: So use them sparingly, because I don't think they produce new content.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: As far as I know.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: If you know differently than me, if there's a whole treasure trove of new alpha youth series, let me know, because I'm their number one fan.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Alright, number two.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: These ones are a little deeper but they're shorter.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Alpha youth ends up being about this the length of a sermon, so it's about 17 minutes, and then what's?
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: 17?
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: like I know.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: I know, but, and then with the discussion it'll take you to about 25, 30 minutes.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: So, it's perfect.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: I just from watching the player, the YouTube player, remember 17 minutes, summer 16, summer 1817 is the average.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: So Bible project videos, bible project videos are elevated a little inter, not a little, elevated a lot in terms of their depth.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: So alpha is deep enough.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: It's not like shallow, like oh, that was just fluff.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: But Bible project, I think, is the target audience.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: I think it's for adults not students.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: So now we've kind of like elevated a little bit.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: But the good news is is they're short but they give you a lot Really quick.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: So a five-minute video it's like drinking from a fire hose it's a ton.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: But what I like to do with the Bible project videos is the good news is, yes, they are deep but they're all illustrated, so students are hearing and seeing things simultaneously, which definitely helps the learning process.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: For me I really wish I had had these when I was younger, because Biblical concepts just make sense.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: So you could pick a theme if you want to do like a series, but if you're just doing a standalone video, you could pick a book of the Bible or a biblical concept like they have cool ones on like Angels and demons and what does that all mean?
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: One of my favorite ones is on the Elohim, like spiritual beings and where did they come from and what is their purpose.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: So it's just kind of like Almost like biblical niche stuff that like you might not teach on a normal, like the book of John.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: You know, they have those Overviews of the books and the Gospels and stuff like that.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: But then they have these niche ones like what is Gehenna or what does sin actually mean?
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: And there's different types of sin.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: So what is a transgression versus a?
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: like they have just these like word studies too that I think are interesting, that most of us don't have an MDiv and probably couldn't teach it on our own, so Bible project, and then what I like to do is pause it and then talk about it and then show one more that Is along the same lines as it, pause it and then talk about a little bit.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: So that just gave me a ten minutes of video and then five or ten minutes of discussion and there's our lesson for the weekend.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: And it's cool when you just open up for discussion, like what are those students here and what do they have questions about?
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: What made sense?
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: What was confusing all of that?
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: So you might have to do a little prep with the questions, just like come up with two or three questions per video that you want to talk about with the kids, because they don't come with questions, unlike alpha.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Alpha comes with the questions.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: You can't just say so.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: What did you guys think of that?
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: like what stood out to you?
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: What stood out to you guys really?
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's actually not a terrible question sometimes.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: I just let it go and see what do they want to talk about, and stuff comes up.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: But yeah, that's the classic classic, I wasn't really paying attention.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: So what did you guys think?
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: I was on Instagram during that video checking the DM.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Okay, number three is we've talked a lot about life church.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Life church TV Under church resources.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Some other series do have video supplemental teaching.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Now here's the thing about the switch videos is a lot of them are sermons, so it'd be pretty much just like play and it's like a full-length sermon.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: That's just a guy on stage doing a monologue type of Delivery as if he were, which he I think is.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know, they never pan on the audience, so it could be fake, but just on stage teaching.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: That's not which video.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Oh sorry, switch is the name of life.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Life churches youth group.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: Okay, got you.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: So I don't love using those.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: But here's what I do love using from life.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Church switch Specifically is they have a series on YouTube and it's called closer C L O S E R Closer hard word, I better spell it On spiritual disciplines.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: So we can put the link to that in our description and I always want to say bio because I'm always thinking Description we'll put the link to that.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: But basically I just searched closer spiritual disciplines switch and I think it's about six or seven videos and they're short and it's like a different young person.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: That's talking about the spiritual discipline of serving, of solitude, of giving, of Fasting all these spiritual disciplines.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: I used it once when I taught a Bible class at a private Christian school and it made for some really great class discussion and so I think you could probably do a few of those and then just talk about them right questions, like before, but again, it'll take the bulk of the teaching off of you and the pressure off of you, it's a lot easier to like, oh cool, we have like a big jumping off point.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Now let's just talk about what we all watched, rather than you having to build content from the ground up.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: So they're actually really well done.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: If you can find another series that they do like that, let me know, but that's the only one that I found.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: That is really, really good.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Okay, so then, if you are a children's pastor, I Came across some cool videos a couple of weeks ago.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: So I teach a Bible study to my our daughter, who's 10, and her friend, who's also 10, and we do it once a week.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Well, I was trying, I was doing a lesson on, like the biblical fathers of our faith, like Abraham, isaac, jacob, ishmael, joseph, the 12 tribes of Israel, all of that.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm like man, I wish there was a visual to explain this, and normally I just draw a picture like on a paper plate or something.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Yikes is right.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: And so I was just like searching around YouTube and I came across saddleback kids and they had Great videos on the 12 tribes of Israel, on Joseph, on Abraham, on Isaac and Ishmael.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my gosh, these are amazing and obviously they're meant for a younger audience.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: They're Cartoonie illustrations, so these are definitely for elementary age kids.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: But I, if I were teaching that to my junior hires, I might use it and just be like hey, guys, it's meant for younger kids, but just pay attention, because it tells the story really well and you can get a visual.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: They were quick, they were like four minute videos and I thought they were just a great.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Like, if you're in children's ministry, I'd say go for it.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: If you're in student ministry, you saddle back kids.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: If it makes sense, supplemental to what you're already teaching of just like hey, a quick, little cute cartoon.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Before we jump in Visual, visual, visual and just tell them like guys, I know it's not like, you know it'll feel like you're watching a show for your little brother, but oh my gosh, the content makes sense.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: So and then we'll talk about it and then bring it up to their age level when you talk about it.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: But they were really good.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: They were these cool animations that just said it very well, very concisely, and then entertaining, and they were even a little funny, like they'd add in some humor, and I'm like these are awesome.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Why have I not?
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Maybe you guys are like duh saddle back kids.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: We use it all the time.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: I just found it.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: It's no cocoa Melan, but whatever.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Thank God, all right, number five I think if you have an off week of teaching, why not show a super cool episode?
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: You probably can't show the whole thing because they're about an hour long.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: But of the chosen, oh my gosh, you guys, if you've been listening, you know I am a fan and the reason is is because it puts skin on the gospel.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: That sounds gross, but it's like it takes a very black and white story and puts human faces and, yeah, okay, we don't know what they look like or what they said or whatever, but the point is it puts human faces, human emotion, human interaction to these stories.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: And I have never seen the gospel this way before.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: You know, I was writing some curriculum on when Jesus tells, like Nathaniel, like just come and see.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: When he's like, how do you know me?
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Well, there's a great scene in the chosen just about that, so maybe you're watching it and there's a scene that really speaks to you, like when Mary Magdalene goes through her rebellion again and she goes into the town and she's drinking and gambling and going back to her old lifestyle and the disciples come and get her and she can't face Jesus.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: And then Jesus is like look at me.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: And she's like I can't, I can't look at you.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: And she goes I'm so ashamed.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: And he's like well, I guess the redemption is not much of a redemption if it could be lost in a day.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: You know, and just like these lines and the way he hugs her and forgives her and it's like gives me the chills because you see the gospel played out in this drama that it makes it so absorbable on a level that I don't think we can get when we just read it.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: And again, you can tell students like there is an artistic license here, but a lot of times they're following the gospel pretty accurately, like I'll watch an episode.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: It'll be like I just read that in the Bible.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, that makes so much more sense now.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: It's like when you read the gospel and then you go to Israel and you look around, you're like, oh my gosh, this is like what I had pictured in my head but this is what it is Like.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: It's more experiential.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: So I would say I mean it's on prime right now, so it's free if you have a prime account, which who doesn't nowadays, you know and my dad if you're watching.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: I'll give you my password, okay?
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: No, I won't.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: No, you won't.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: This terrible thing, how dare you?
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: How dare me, I will not to dad.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Stop asking Stop asking dad Guy.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: So I would think that would be cool, like watch a half episode or do a kind of like pause and stop thing, like right now I'm watching the part where Jesus getting ready for the sermon on the Mount and he's teaching.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: All of these things in that are hard to hear and hard to understand.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Use that as a springboard.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: The chosen for students is great.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: It's meant for, I think, like junior high and up.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: So if you work with students, it's your demographic.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Go for it.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Here's one that's a little older, but I've used it in the past and I like the content.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: It's a little grainy because I think it's older now, but you can find it on YouTube.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Kyle Eidleman he wrote a book called Not a Fan and then he has a YouTube series that follows his book a little bit.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: So there's like four or five of them, I think.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Not a Fan and he talks about the difference between being a fan of Jesus and a follower of Jesus, and it's one thing.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: To just be like Jesus is my homeboy.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Remember when that was like popular.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, jesus is cool, but yet you do whatever you want.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: And it's like you just give a nod to he exists.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: He's awesome.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Anyways, back to what I wanna do, so I think he does a really good job and I think that topic is super pertinent to students and makes a lot of just those gut punch moments for them.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: So again, you can pause and discuss with those.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Another this is actually number seven now.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Another one I like to use in a pinch when I am just too tired to teach is I am second videos.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: So these are testimonies by regular people and by famous people, kind of like the whole idea I am second, kind of that.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: He is greater than I concept.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: They just share their testimony of when Jesus became real to them or their faith journey.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Some of them are professional athletes, some of them are professional musicians and for me I always think that's cool to expose students to celebrities who follow Jesus, because I want them to know like this isn't like just your mom and dad's religion, like there's like people that you would look up to, because you know students start detaching from their parents a little bit.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: So I think they need to see no, like other cool adults love Jesus and like that might sound so shallow, but to a 13 year old who looks up to Mr Beast.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: It's like no, there's cool people that are like good at what they do.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: They're not just like some like goat herder, like they are like are someone that you would be impressed with.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: It could be a really cool goat herder.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: But you know what I mean.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Like I think they always think like from the beb of times, like we want them to know, like cool people love Jesus and you don't have to be cool to follow Jesus.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: But there are people who are very cool, rich, famous, that can do all that and love Jesus and I don't really care.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: But I think that speaks a lot to a 13, 14, 15 year old, because they're so enamored with their favorite YouTuber or influencer or whatever and that person has so much pull and influence and stardom in their life.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: And if you can show them, yeah, but there are famous people who love Jesus Like it's not like, well, those are all the cool sinners over there and all the like nerds follow Jesus.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: It's like, no, like, there's like people you would want to look up to, that follow Jesus.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: To me, that's important.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Maybe you're like that's a bunch of garbage, but I feel like I'm again putting on the mind of a 13, 14 year old.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: And then, lastly, in number eight, I love this video.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: It's only one, so it'd be a standalone.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: Use it wisely, because once you use it.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: You can no longer use it for a while.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Francis Chan did a video called Stop and Think and it's like you'll know it when you see it.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: He's like surfing and then he gets out of the water and he does this whole thing and it is moving.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's Francis Chan, so it's definitely gonna slap you around a bit, but it's so good and I love that one End.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: It is a great jumping off point for discussion again, and sometimes when you start discussing with students, you realize something that they heard and something they grabbed onto, like you just follow the trail, go where they wanna talk, as long as it's relevant to the conversation, but just kind of follow their lead when it comes to this stuff because it could spark something in them that they're like well, wait what about?
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: this, or why do we never?
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: You know, like you never know what's gonna come out of their mouths on some of this stuff, but it's good open forum style and refreshing.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: It's different and it'll give you a break, so enjoy.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: I think a good idea too is to go through and we'll link all these in the description down below and you guys can check them out.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: But I think what a good idea it would be to periodically maybe just watch one or two and maybe just take some notes Like.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: This is the general premise and you know, I liked it or I didn't like it.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: It would be good for my group, or it wouldn't.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: Because if you are in a pinch and you're like, oh shoot, I'm not gonna be able to do it, you don't wanna, then have to take a bunch of time to go through and watch every single one, exactly because then I always think, at this point I could have written a statement.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: The time it would take you to find it.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: I was on YouTube for like an hour trying to find the perfect video.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: And these are all from that for me, so I just gave you eight.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: that took me's like having to read it down to that, hoke it around the internet for yeah, and another thing I was gonna say and if you have the budget for this, it's worth looking into but right now media they actually have a monthly subscription of an entire video library of some of the best speakers I mean, again, it's Francis Chan.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: It's like all the like big names, high production, quality, really good stuff.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: So they have like different levels of subscriptions.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: I think the first one starts at like well, I don't know, they have like a small church quote that they'll give you if you contact them.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: I have not ever done that, but they're like lowest listed prices, like 150 a month or something.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: So this would have to be something your whole church was going to use, because it's not just for students.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: So if you could get everyone to buy in on it and your church had just one account and everyone they say you need only one account and everyone on your church can use it, so you don't have to pay, so your dad could use that one.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: He's not on staff If he was not at that church.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: He's not on my staff.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: No dad, stop, you can't.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: What is with you?
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: Bill, my goodness.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: Gracious Heavens to Betsy.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: But, which is cool, because maybe your senior pastor wants to use them for worship bumpers, and then chill, I don't know.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: If you've got the money and you want to just always have access to good stuff high quality, high res then go for it.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: You could shop around.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Well, cool, that's a paid one, so how many free ones did you give?
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: Eight free, one paid.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, you're set guys.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: So, like I said, go ahead and poke around, check a few of them out, write down some notes and see you're ready to go when that time comes, just like we have the no prep games that just have in your back pocket, these would be your.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Oh shoot, I'm vomiting and I can't make it to church.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna show this video.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: My intern can play it and I know which one they need to watch.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: So it's good to have that done ahead of time.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, let's go ahead and do a question of the day.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: This is a geographical one, so what food best represents the state or region you're from?
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: I would say avocados.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: Avocados.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: I sometimes say avocado and I know everyone makes fun of me for it, because I should know better, but like pecan and pecan here.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Okay, avocados, because while we live in a place called Fulbright, california, and they are the self-proclaimed avocado capital of the world, who's gonna argue with them?
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: Who'd want to argue with them?
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: We have a thing called the avocado festival once year, where you cannot find avocados.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: They sell everything, but.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you can find lots of chachkies, yeah, so I think avocado because A we live in Fallbrook and so there's avocado signs and every street is called avocado, avocado highway, this, that but I feel like everything that I ever see on a menu that is California this like.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: California omelet California burger California.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: It's California because they've added avocado to it.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Avocado and bacon usually, but avocado also.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: We're close to Mexico.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: We have a lot of guacamole.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe that's part of it.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but I just feel like we have Avocado guacamole it's like available everywhere to put on everything at all times.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: No, except in Fallbrook, when you're like can I have an hour?
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: Out.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: You're like wait, where are we at?
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: This is the avocado capital world.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: You shouldn't be, you said avocado.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: I did it again.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: I just don't think.
