TRANSCRIPT
00;00;01;25 - 00;00;02;24
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
Well, in this fourth

00;00;03;00 - 00;00;03;06
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
and

00;00;03;06 - 00;00;03;16
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
final

00;00;03;18 - 00;00;11;29
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
episode of my Creative Programing playlist, we're continuing on with the three challenges that we've been working on

00;00;11;29 - 00;00;28;05
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
this week, from my home office or guest bedroom, or normal side of the recording of the hybrid ministry show. Because of this insane question mark winter storm that Texas has experienced. I haven't been in the office all week and Sunday services were canceled.

00;00;28;06 - 00;00;34;27
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
It's crazy, but we're doing these three challenges with no repeat order. And while last week we had no speaker,

00;00;34;29 - 00;00;39;27
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
this week I want to show you what it might be like if we have no traditional game.

00;00;39;29 - 00;00;53;08
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
Again, question mark. And I'm going to somehow create a game from scratch and submit it to dym, I have an idea of what I think I might want to do, but you can be the judge if this actually counts.

00;00;53;08 - 00;01;01;20
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
And if I actually succeed in the challenge. And as always, we're going to recap and then let you know how it went. What went bad, what you need to do differently. All of

00;01;01;24 - 00;01;11;04
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
that coming up on this week's episode of the fourth and final installment of the Programing Playlist Challenge. Welcome, everyone, to the Hybrid Ministry show.

00;01;11;06 - 00;01;16;09
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
So we are here on the Hybrid Ministry show, attempting to round out the challenges.

00;01;16;09 - 00;01;23;24
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
The first three videos, I was able to successfully complete each week's challenge, and today we're going to try and do the same thing.

00;01;23;27 - 00;01;41;16
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
You know, challenge number one, of course, is avoiding doing the same order. And so far we've done in week one, we did our kind of standard order of two songs. The first part of the message, a table talk, the announcements, then the game bumper video message, part two response song and a small message wrap.

00;01;41;19 - 00;01;56;03
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
Week two. We completely did the order wrong. And so we started with the message. A table talk did two songs in the middle, followed by announcements and games, followed by a bumper, followed by, the second part of the message kind of sandwiched in the night. And then week

00;01;56;07 - 00;02;13;10
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
three, no speaker because we pre filmed our message. So we did announcements followed by song, followed by the first part of the message, followed by a table talk followed by game, followed by the second part of the message in table talk, followed by two more songs, third part of the message table talk, a response song and a message wrap, and dismiss.

00;02;13;10 - 00;02;13;21
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
And so

00;02;13;26 - 00;02;30;03
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
this week I'm going to give you a little bit of context, but I'm going to try and do a fourth order and a completely different element than what we've done so far. It's going to it's going to like I ended the last video, so we're going to throw this one into a tizz, And that's exactly what we're going to do.

00;02;30;03 - 00;02;48;06
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
So for a bit of context, every single year around spring break we do a thing called spring break hangs. And what that is, is it's all of our office days. So we don't work on Fridays, but Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday we do some sort of hangout for students. So it could be something simple like meet up at a coffee shop, meet up at an ice cream shop.

00;02;48;13 - 00;02;50;10
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
Sometimes we pay, sometimes they

00;02;50;12 - 00;03;15;17
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
pay. And so yesterday, our Wednesday night programing for the week during this Texas snowstorm got canceled. So we threw together an emergency meeting with, myself and our students team. And as we were hopping off the call, one of my guys goes, hey, do we have plans yet for spring break? hangs well, I have a group of students who helped plan an outreach event and they want to do a tournament deal in the middle of the week.

00;03;15;17 - 00;03;32;01
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
And so that's sort of like the anchor and then a round I said around it, let's go ahead and let's make a plan. And one of the plans that they came up with was they wanted to do a movie night. And so what we're going to do is in addition to doing spring break hangs every year,

00;03;32;06 - 00;03;38;26
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
we also do a march bracket every year to kind of come alongside March Madness and all that type of stuff.

00;03;38;26 - 00;03;48;05
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
And I've talked about it before and, you know, I'm going to give this resource that I'm about to create away. Over on the DYM site, I have the epic

00;03;48;13 - 00;03;58;06
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
student ministry bracket of epic things, which is very dated. It's it's 7 or 8 years old now, the number one seed, Chip and Joanna Gaines. So I will tell you how dated that feels.

00;03;58;08 - 00;04;13;15
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
Then I've also, over on the site, have The World's Greatest Donut, which actually have an episode link right here at top screen. You can go see, that event that we did, how we launched that event, and then how you can, have that event kind of going on in the background. And we've also done a Christmas movie bracket.

00;04;13;15 - 00;04;32;23
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
And so for this one, we're going to do a movie bracket. And then that's going to determine the movie that we watch on the night of spring break hangs. And so one of the things that, I'm going to do is I'm going to actually, I think I want to create four different regions. So almost like four different categories.

00;04;32;25 - 00;04;36;24
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
We'll do a 16 team bracket, even though in regular March Madness, I do a

00;04;36;27 - 00;04;49;26
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
64 team bracket with four regions, 16 teams in each region. We'll do a 16 team bracket 4 regions. Four movies in each bracket. And so I'll kind of categorize it. And what I actually did was I told my team, I said,

00;04;49;29 - 00;04;53;05
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
hey, 10:00, this was the last night.

00;04;53;05 - 00;05;14;03
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
So I said, by 10:00 tomorrow I want to start working on this send me 16 movies doesn't have to matter. The order sent to me by 10:00. So I'll let you know who responded by ten. And then I'm going to take their movies. We're going to compile it into ChatGPT, and we're going to ask them to spit out like the ones that you know, which are commonly commonly included and stuff like that, and maybe even help us categorize it a little bit.

00;05;14;03 - 00;05;21;15
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
So I'll let you know how my team does here if they meet the deadline by 10:00 or not.

00;05;21;18 - 00;05;29;15
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
Four out of six, which I'm one of the four. So I guess three out of five of my team members, follow the instructions. If Ben and Kaleigh

00;05;29;17 - 00;05;39;29
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
ever see this, they might be mortified. Or they might just giggle and think it's funny. But we compiled their lists and came up with seeds and came up with some regions.

00;05;39;29 - 00;05;56;28
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
And so for the night, what I want to do is I want to treat our night a little bit like a selection show. So I'm going to hop in & I'm going to start creating some of that programing on Planning Center. And I'll catch you on the other side.

00;05;57;00 - 00;05;57;10
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
There's

00;05;57;10 - 00;06;06;13
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
no traditional game in the sense, but we are going to play kind of a quasi sort of like hybrid game in the middle of it. So we're

00;06;06;13 - 00;06;19;10
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
going to start with a hype song. And then as soon as that's done, we're going to fire the selection show, bumper video. So again, I'm trying to kind of emulate like the selection Sunday night selection show of March Madness.

00;06;19;10 - 00;06;38;26
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
And so as you can see, this Movie Madness logo here looks very much like, March Madness logo. And then myself and one of my coworkers, Allie, we're going to get up on stage and we're going to kind of have on like, jackets or like blazers, like people who are, you know, who are revealing stuff like on ESPN or whatever.

00;06;38;28 - 00;07;05;16
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
And we are going to welcome the room. And we're not like, we're not going to break character. We're going to be, you know, in character, doing the thing the whole time. Welcome the room live on stage. And then we're also going to, reveal that we are launching a brand new, spring bracket. We're not revealing that the choice of movie is what's going to be played on movie night, but we're going to reveal that we are, in fact, having a bracket, and then we're going to cut to a field reporter.

00;07;05;16 - 00;07;34;21
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
And this we're going to video ahead of time. I haven't done this yet, but just right now, I came up with the idea, we're going to video ahead of time. Another one of our staff people, Kaleigh and she's going to, announce the Pixar region. And so for us, we're going with, inside out as the number one seed versus Wall-E, and then Toy Story versus monsters, Inc. she's going to give a little bit of breakdown analysis on it, and then she's going to predict winners of each of those matchups, and then she's going to predict a winner of the winners.

00;07;34;21 - 00;07;52;12
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
So she says, like inside out, it's going to be Wall-E. And Toy Story is going to beat Monsters Inc and then Inside Out versus Toy Story. She believes Inside Out is going to win, hypothetically, right? She'll say something like, that's just my opinion, but you guys get an opportunity to vote right now on Instagram or YouTube. Login right now, a scan QR code on the screen.

00;07;52;12 - 00;08;08;10
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
So we'll edit all of that and put that all together. And then that will cut back to me and Allie and we'll kind of like talk about that a little bit, announce the next region, which is going to be the hero region. And we're going to be announcing this one over with a little bit of a game.

00;08;08;10 - 00;08;29;07
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
And so we're going to cut to Eli and Cody, and then they're going to, play like an emoji. Guess game, which I'm actually going to include inside the pack of this. I'm going to include an emoji guess game as a part of like the launch. So Spider-Man across Spider-Verse versus Big Hero six and Avengers Endgame versus The Lego Movie.

00;08;29;07 - 00;08;49;25
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
And then, the winner of that, they'll what we'll do then is we'll have them, go like head to head, and we'll have them, like, thinking, so, like, who's going to who's going to win, who's going to get it right, Eli or Cody or neither. And then we'll like pause the video and let them vote on sidekick.

00;08;50;01 - 00;09;10;20
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
And then we'll come back and play the results. So that'll kind of be they'll kind of satisfy as like our game. Right. But it's all a part of this greater like selection show. And then that will that end into our brand new series. Are you turn bumper and then Ben, one of our associates who did not send in a list, by the way, is going to preach first half of his message

00;09;10;23 - 00;09;12;01
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
in with a table talk.

00;09;12;03 - 00;09;32;02
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
And then we're going to come back out of that into a commercial. And Ben is going to do the commercial, and he's going to do the comedy region. And this one I'm kind of doing like dad jokes or like, I don't know, like really cliche thing. So he and this is also going to sort of satisfy as like the announcement section of our night.

00;09;32;02 - 00;09;51;05
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
So like, we're doing, they won't of spring break anxiety. We're doing ice cream. Day two, we're doing a thing called activate. It's like live, immersive, like games. Day three is our tournament thing. And then day four is the movie night. And so he's going to say like day one, we're doing ice cream, which is soft and squishy.

00;09;51;05 - 00;10;16;06
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
Speaking of soft and squishy, the first in our comedy region, Shrek day two had to activate where you're going to have to activate your Megamind, which is the second movie in our comedy night. Day three, we're hosting an invite style tournament where you're going to have to unlock your athletic inner prowess and kung fu skills, just like, seed number three, which is Kung Fu Panda in the comedy region.

00;10;16;06 - 00;10;36;13
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
And finally, day four is our movie night. Will we be watching this fourth movie here? Despicable me voting is now live on YouTube and Instagram. Head on over. So we'll kind of like build that up, play that up. And so it's going to be three different prerecorded video segments Kaylie's Field Report Eli and Cody's game. And then Ben's kind of like announcement thing.

00;10;36;15 - 00;10;55;02
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
And that's going to put every single one of our staff people on screen or on stage for the night. And then back to me and Ali. Remember like, man, spring break hanging sound like fun. And that leads us to our final region, the legend region, which is How to Train Your Dragon versus The Princess Bride and Rogue One versus The Sandlot.

00;10;55;10 - 00;11;14;15
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
Cast your vote online now you know, blah blah blah, yada yada yada. And then we will, and then we will go into Ben's message and actually right here as I'm explaining this, I'm going to move the bumper because Ben's going to earlier. He's going to come in after an emoji, video. So he can come in with that.

00;11;14;19 - 00;11;31;13
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
That'll already be a video. And then this will allow that to allow them to fire the bumper. He'll come in, he'll do the rest of his message table talk, and then we'll have two response songs at the end. And then me and Ali back on. The selection show will essentially serve as the messenger app. And the dismissal, for the night.

00;11;31;13 - 00;11;47;14
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
So that's kind of how we're going to launch this thing and let it go. Know that, like part of our reasoning strategy behind this is a it's going this is why I like the idea of hybrid, right? This is taking an in-person moment or movie night and pairing it with online online voting on YouTube and so and and Instagram.

00;11;47;16 - 00;12;08;27
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
And this pushes people to our social channels and to our social pages. And so we get followers, we push our people to our online presence. If they're interacting with it, then the algorithm is going to feed them more of what we have, and it's going to, create like the in-person moment. So every week we get an opportunity then to be like, here's how you guys voted and all that stuff.

00;12;08;29 - 00;12;26;25
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
And as always, we have printed paper versions that students without phones can print. And by the way, I'm giving you this entire resource for free. The movie emoji Guesses, as well as the entire bracket like assets that you'll need for, launching and doing this in

00;12;26;25 - 00;12;35;25
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
your own ministry. You can grab it now. You can do it for an in-person movie night, or you can just do it because it's fun to have something else going on in the background.

00;12;36;00 - 00;12;52;03
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
And, you can make this a part of your youth ministry. And so I have tons of these. I'm going to submit this to you. I by the end of the day, it'll be hopefully on there. But you can save money if you just hop on over and become a $4 per tier, $4 per month hybrid hero member to you.

00;12;52;03 - 00;13;12;28
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
It's like if this resource ends up on you, I am for like seven bucks, let's say, like your hybrid hero is going to get you this this resource, along with the previous four resources, all for free. You're going to save money going over there. And I'm going to give you the different ideas and times when we lean into something creative like this.

00;13;12;28 - 00;13;35;02
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
Right? No game. Right? No traditional game. We're doing a whole selection style show, but we're still like doing an entire youth ministry 80 minutes long. We got worship, teaching and like fun elements all woven throughout, launching this brand new thing and announcing an event coming up like this is an example of the creative programing that we're trying to lean into in our context and want to help encourage you to.

00;13;35;02 - 00;13;47;19
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
And that is the whole purpose of my, thing. So I'm going to hop in the lab.

00;13;47;22 - 00;14;10;10
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
All right. Welcome to Movie Madness. This is kind of meant to mirror March Madness, but whether you do this in March or not, this is just a great thing to run in the background of your youth ministry and also promote your social media, so you don't need to do anything with it aside from just launch it on your social media and let students vote, or you can let it drive towards something bigger.

00;14;10;10 - 00;14;33;27
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
Like for us, we're going to let this drive toward a spring break hangout movie night in our context. And so the way that is kind of set up is that we have curated, at our on our team, amongst our staff, 16 different movies. And then they're in four different regions. So we have the, the Pixar region, the hero region, we have the comedy region, and then we have the legend region.

00;14;33;27 - 00;14;53;02
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
And then each of those, they will face off against each other in a head to head voting style event. Students will vote. We typically, staff at where it's like one night we launch a big thing and we make a whole ordeal out of it. And then the voting happens on social media. So we typically let them vote on like, Instagram stories.

00;14;53;02 - 00;15;14;09
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
And we also, push towards like a thing like YouTube. And so, you can take some of these graphics that I have created and then you can post them onto your stories. And then each week you as you meet back together with your students, you reveal who won voting wise from last week and who's moving on to the next week until you crown an ultimate champion.

00;15;14;09 - 00;15;33;28
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
Like I said, you can allow this to be a part of your programing each and every single week and make a big deal out of it. Or you can just have fun on your social media. There are widescreen videos and graphics and fonts and templates, so that you can advance it custom in your context. You can print out some some papers.

00;15;34;05 - 00;15;52;05
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
Students can vote on paper, you can have them vote on social media or you can use something like the voting feature inside Kick and vote just in the room and have students go one by one. We will do a combination kind of of all three in our context. And then at the end, we'll crown one champion from each of these four regions.

00;15;52;05 - 00;16;12;10
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
And that will be how we decide which movie we're going to be watching in our spring break hangout movie night. So, thank you for checking this resource out. I hope it's helpful to you, and I hope you have fun as you crown a movie champions through this movie madness resource. Well, that is the video, the one you just saw.

00;16;12;10 - 00;16;24;19
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
That's the video that I'm going to include in the how to play, resource on download youth miss you. You let me know. Comment down below. Did I complete the challenge? Is this bracket resource? Is this

00;16;24;22 - 00;16;32;26
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
enough? Is this considered a game or not? From scratch? I think it is, but you can decide. And so I'm going

00;16;32;26 - 00;16;35;00
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
to go ahead and give myself a check mark for this.

00;16;35;00 - 00;16;53;05
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
Yes. And then we've also went ahead and we have, we have recap the night and I let you know how it went over on my Patreon link down below if you want to subscribe to that for hours per month, you'll get this resource completely for free. Or you can head over to the museum and see if it's available on the site yet.

00;16;53;05 - 00;17;09;10
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
If not, I got the free early release version of it. And that's linked in the podcast episode that dropped on Monday over on my Patreon. Guys, thanks so much for being here for this. For part, how I program my youth ministry has been a super fun ride. I've had a blast doing it. But until next time.

00;17;09;10 - 00;17;11;16
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
And as always, my friends, don't forget stay happy.

TRANSCRIPT
00;00;01;03 - 00;00;01;55
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
Well. Hello.

00;00;01;59 - 00;00;02;48
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
And good morning.

00;00;02;48 - 00;00;05;52
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
Today we are programing our Wednesday night with

00;00;05;52 - 00;00;06;26
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
no

00;00;06;26 - 00;00;07;06
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
speaker.

00;00;07;06 - 00;00;08;30
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
Yeah, you heard that right.

00;00;08;30 - 00;00;13;06
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
We're also still in this playlist completing these three challenges,

00;00;13;06 - 00;00;23;42
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
which are no repeated order. We're going to create a game from scratch on win. And finally I'm going to recap the entire night, let you know how it went. And not only am I going to

00;00;23;42 - 00;00;24;12
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
recap

00;00;24;12 - 00;00;24;43
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
the night

00;00;24;43 - 00;00;28;57
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
and the game that I created, but I'm also going to give you the game for free.

00;00;28;58 - 00;00;31;08
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
So stick around to the end of the video so that you can see

00;00;31;08 - 00;00;36;52
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
how you can get access that. Welcome everybody to the Hybrid Ministry Show.

00;00;36;57 - 00;00;48;15
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
Welcome, everybody, to the hybrid ministry show. And, first order of business is we have to map out service order and we can't let the order repeat. So if

00;00;48;19 - 00;00;58;17
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
you look in here on screen, you'll see that on the left here, this is, week one service order. And if you look here on the right, this is week two's service order.

00;00;58;17 - 00;01;03;06
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
And so we're going to go ahead and we're going to make a completely different service order. But

00;01;03;11 - 00;01;36;49
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
yes you heard it right because for the entire teaching topic we discussed in last week's video links right here that I will not actually be present. I won a or I don't even know, like I guess I won or was given, a free trip with my wife to get away kid free, for like, pastor and wives retreat and so the week that I'm programing is the week that I will be absent and we're going to be during and in the middle of our sex and dating and relationships

00;01;36;56 - 00;01;37;19
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
series.

00;01;37;19 - 00;01;51;41
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
So, we talked about a little bit last week, but this was the original order. But because of my trip, this is how we reshuffled things a little bit. And so we're going to be playing the already prerecorded video

00;01;51;46 - 00;01;58;01
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
from this week in the room. And here's the thing. Like some of you, you may not know this, but

00;01;58;01 - 00;01;58;38
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
we

00;01;58;38 - 00;02;00;44
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
already have recorded

00;02;00;51 - 00;02;01;52
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
these teaching topics.

00;02;02;06 - 00;02;04;02
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
sat down, went into our studio,

00;02;04;02 - 00;02;05;51
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
and this is a big part of our

00;02;05;51 - 00;02;06;18
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
hybrid

00;02;06;28 - 00;02;11;43
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
ministry strategy. And and what I recommend, like if you download my seasonal social media

00;02;11;43 - 00;02;18;03
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
pack, which is free for Patreon members, by the way, and Patreon is only $4 a month, $48 for the year.

00;02;18;08 - 00;02;23;14
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
If you download my pack, I recommend that you get active on social media and that you post like three

00;02;23;19 - 00;02;24;25
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
times per week.

00;02;24;29 - 00;02;36;33
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
But then, in the towards the end of the book, I challenge you, to consider a stretch goal. And a great stretch goal is to record and post all of

00;02;36;38 - 00;02;42;10
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
your messages to YouTube or to, some sort of long form platform.

00;02;42;15 - 00;02;50;38
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
I guess I say some other long form platform is if YouTube isn't the option like it is, the option is the number one social media for for students.

00;02;50;43 - 00;02;57;01
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
But that what that does, is it gives you a multiplicity of options.

00;02;57;01 - 00;02;57;26
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
Number one.

00;02;57;31 - 00;03;03;42
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
It creates a long, long form library of content like a long tail library of content. So,

00;03;03;50 - 00;03;04;45
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
messages from

00;03;04;50 - 00;03;09;43
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
multiple years back are still relevant, because hopefully we're teaching the truth of God's word.

00;03;09;49 - 00;03;18;06
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
someone can go back in and and get an answer to something or to to study a topic on something that we've already done in the past. We've done the work we put the work in.

00;03;18;11 - 00;03;19;38
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
Secondarily,

00;03;19;43 - 00;03;26;38
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
our leaders, like many of our leaders, lead the discussion based off of the message. But they don't come on Wednesday night when we preach it live.

00;03;26;38 - 00;03;31;58
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
And so therefore, having the video allows them to still hear the content, even if they're not able to make it in the room.

00;03;32;07 - 00;03;44;36
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
It's also a tool for parents. We're going to be using it during this series. I'm going to be sending it out ahead of time to parents being like, hey, listen, here we go. Like, this is all we're talking about in case you want to know, in case you want to get in front of it, in case you want to have conversations with the students.

00;03;44;40 - 00;03;51;57
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
And so it gives us tons of great options. But the other option that you're seeing today is that it's going to give us the option

00;03;52;09 - 00;03;57;21
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
like, I don't have to get a guest speaker. I don't to get a pinch hitter. Like, I can still speak and I can still,

00;03;57;26 - 00;03;59;16
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
messaging for youth group, and,

00;03;59;21 - 00;04;03;05
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
we can be off to the races without needing to do anything like crazy on that.

00;04;03;05 - 00;04;03;17
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
And

00;04;03;21 - 00;04;03;37
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
so

00;04;03;47 - 00;04;06;38
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
it's really helpful to us. It's really beneficial. And so

00;04;06;38 - 00;04;18;22
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
that might be something that you would consider down the road. That might be something that you might even consider. Now I got some coaching options down below my link tree. Go ahead and take a look at that. See if there's something you want. I can I can walk you through how we do that.

00;04;18;27 - 00;04;19;58
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
today specifically,

00;04;20;02 - 00;04;27;26
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
you know, week one we went two songs opening announcements, games receive message response song

00;04;27;30 - 00;04;36;35
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
we two we went message songs, games rest of message and then songs. So we need a now third

00;04;36;40 - 00;04;36;58
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
order.

00;04;37;05 - 00;04;39;33
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
this is the just preset order.

00;04;39;33 - 00;04;40;40
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
So we're going to

00;04;40;45 - 00;04;46;13
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
we're going to mess with it and we're going to put in a new order. And as a reminder, I'm going to open here with

00;04;46;22 - 00;04;59;13
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
welcome announcements game. The game is going to be the custom game that I'm going to create. And today, we'll see in a minute because I got to hop in the lab and I'll let you know how that spits out

00;04;59;13 - 00;05;00;20
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
on the other side of things.

00;05;00;24 - 00;05;00;45
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
But

00;05;00;53 - 00;05;01;43
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
today

00;05;01;47 - 00;05;04;41
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
I'm thinking about doing some sort of

00;05;04;51 - 00;05;11;48
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
Winter Olympic themed game. We will be in the middle or towards the very end of the Winter Olympics by February 18th.

00;05;11;54 - 00;05;20;45
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
And so I think that that would be, a fun kind of like way to to celebrate that and, to lean into that just a little bit. So,

00;05;20;50 - 00;05;26;56
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
so anyway, that's one thing about, and then here I'm programing, I'm gonna do a song, and then I'm going to do,

00;05;27;10 - 00;05;31;22
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
first part of the message, and I think I'm going to try and break my message up into three parts.

00;05;31;22 - 00;05;32;47
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
So part one

00;05;32;57 - 00;05;37;51
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
but typically I'm at like 12 minutes. So we're going to do like four minute, four minute chunks.

00;05;37;56 - 00;05;42;58
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
So we'll do a four minute chunk and then a four minute table talk.

00;05;43;03 - 00;05;43;35
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
Another.

00;05;43;43 - 00;05;47;53
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
Some actually actually okay. So I'm changing my order already. So I'm going to do the opening song.

00;05;48;01 - 00;05;51;03
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
no I like I like opening with a game for this on

00;05;51;08 - 00;06;01;02
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
it gets like a live element of the room. So we'll do part one, table two. I'm just trying to keep like I want to honestly kind of do the band a bunch.

00;06;01;07 - 00;06;02;39
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
But so I kind of wanted to

00;06;02;46 - 00;06;03;50
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
not get,

00;06;03;55 - 00;06;06;25
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
stuck into this rut of it, be like

00;06;06;25 - 00;06;07;08
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
song

00;06;07;08 - 00;06;08;44
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
message, song message.

00;06;08;48 - 00;06;11;58
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
Yeah, I'm going to move the game down here. That's what I'll do.

00;06;12;07 - 00;06;16;55
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
yeah, then we'll be able to. It won't be so choppy. I don't think anymore.

00;06;17;00 - 00;06;36;59
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
All right, so here we go. Here's what I ended up coming up with. So instead of doing just games at the beginning, we do welcome announcements. And then that's going to lead into a worship song. And then after the song they're going to move into part one of the message, which will then, go for a minute and then end with, table talk there for a couple minutes.

00;06;36;59 - 00;06;59;32
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
After the table talk, Ali and Kayla, you're going to get up. They're going to play the game that I made from scratch. Then after that, they're going to lead it into part two of the message with another table talk. And then out of that the band is going to come up and do two songs. And then after that last part, I'm going to do the final part of the message, and then there's going to be a message wrap and dismissal from, my, my number two associate.

00;06;59;32 - 00;07;22;32
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
So the only other thing here that is worth considering is, you know, there's only 52 minutes of total service time. That in part is because a video message goes a lot quicker than a live spoken message. So I am considering and I think I'm going to do it. I am actually just considering here, adding one last response song.

00;07;22;37 - 00;07;37;35
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
Our band typically does three songs in this particular week. I'm going to, see if they can go ahead and do two, four songs. And so it'll go part three of The Message, which also there will be a table talk in there. I didn't add. So let's go and see what that does. A table.

00;07;37;40 - 00;07;39;20
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
So now we're at like 61 minutes.

00;07;39;20 - 00;07;42;59
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
that's not bad. And even if we did happen to kill this response song,

00;07;43;03 - 00;07;53;05
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
we're at 56 again. Not bad, but I think I'm going to leave it there. And so we're going to go with we're going to go with four songs this night instead of five or instead of three.

00;07;53;10 - 00;08;00;47
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
And yeah. And now look boom. Challenge number one completed completely different order. Now,

00;08;00;47 - 00;08;07;24
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
about to hop in the lab and I'm going to go and create a custom game. We'll see you on the other side.

00;08;07;29 - 00;08;13;23
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
Another.

00;08;13;28 - 00;08;21;27
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
Welcome, everybody to the extreme. Go for gold trivia. I invited one of my buddies, Ben,

00;08;21;32 - 00;08;38;44
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
in here. Wearing a Timberwolves shirt. Not Timberwolves fan. Mavs. We're going to see how this game works. So in the like how to play instructions there. There are two ways to play. Traditional question. Answer. Nice question answer. Question answer. It's just simple.

00;08;38;46 - 00;08;59;21
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
You guys got this. I'm not going to tell you how to play that, but I want to show you how we might play the Extreme Edition. I like it. I like going for gold extreme. So the instructions go like this. Read the question. I think they'll be the first to buzz in. Choose either answer or challenge. All right.

00;08;59;21 - 00;09;20;20
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
So whoever buzzes in first, it's like truth or dare. Yeah. Answer a challenge. And then step four you can win for your side of the room. So let's say you're playing for the right side of the room. And I'm playing for the left side of the room. And then you guys figure out whatever prize you want pizza for the that side or Nintendo Switch two points or AirPods for everyone, right?

00;09;20;25 - 00;09;46;51
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
That'd be crazy. So one of my favorite ways to do this is to take a water bottle, right? If you don't have like, an amazing formalized buzzer. Have a water bottle in the middle. And, what will happen is whoever grabs what about first, then that's then. It's like the Cup game. Yeah. Yeah. And then they choose, you know, either, they choose either answer or challenge.

00;09;46;51 - 00;09;50;55
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
Yeah. Okay, so first question.

00;09;51;00 - 00;10;14;30
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
So we're up here, contestants. Which sport made debut at the 2026 Winter Olympics? I buzzed in. Yeah. And on this one, I know. Because I'm just a massive Olympics fan. So I'm going to say the answer is B ski mo. Am I right? What do you think? No. Well I made the game so I guess I'm right.

00;10;14;35 - 00;10;35;41
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
Okay. Now that's I would get a point. All right however. Wait how do you. What is mountaineering. Sorry. I don't know. That was that. That's unreal. That's. Yeah. I'll let you watch the Olympics on NBC starting in February and February 12th. Yeah. Eskimo mountaineering is. But now then. All right, so I got a point. So one point for the left side of the room.

00;10;35;41 - 00;10;42;13
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
Okay, now let's go back to this year. Okay, here we go. Next question.

00;10;42;18 - 00;11;05;44
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
Which country has participated in every Winter games since they began in 1924? Canada, France, United States then grabs the buzzer. But this time around, Ben is going to choose. Choose Canada. No, you're going to say, oh, you got shoes? Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's right, that's right. You're going to choose. Oh, I'm gonna choose challenge. All right. So what you haven't seen yet is I've created two spoons.

00;11;05;45 - 00;11;29;10
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
Well, I saw one was sugar. You can use anything. You can do worse. You sour sauce and Worcestershire, however you say. Sure, sure, sure. And Coca-Cola, you can do vinegar and water. Yeah. You could do caramel onion, caramel apple. Like, whatever you boil oil. There you go. Yeah. Canola oil. Yeah. Get all the oils, kill someone or help them live.

00;11;29;15 - 00;11;53;11
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
So how this would work then is so since he buzzed in as you can smell it, I didn't know if since he buzzed in as the challenger or he his go is to, stomp the room. Okay. So if if he like if he successfully stomps the room based off his reaction, he gets two points to my one just for answering straight up.

00;11;53;26 - 00;12;07;55
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
Okay, if he's unsuccessful in that, then, you know. So here we go. The game host would then say, all right, ready? Three. Two. One.

00;12;08;00 - 00;12;35;44
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
Okay, so based off of our reaction, one of us have so one of us has sugar. And so how we're going to play in our room then, we're big sidekicks fans. Oh, yeah. So who got so the double vote? Whoever you think. Got it. And then if Ben was able to, like. So if he was able to successfully stumped the room, why don't you tell the people what you had at sugar?

00;12;35;49 - 00;12;53;53
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
Yeah, I had, so, yeah, that was like you. Really? Yeah. Did I see it in your app? Yeah. Just try not to cry. That was horrific. So let's say he did something, and let's say everyone voted that that he had the salt, even though I had the salt. So as blind for the your contestants to. Yeah. As mine for your contestants too.

00;12;53;53 - 00;13;10;47
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
So it's really just all about your reaction. Yeah. And then you'd move on to question three. Easy. Go on. So forth. So that's how you play the Extreme Edition. That's how we're going to play this on February 18th. Hope you guys enjoyed. Bless up. See you next time. See ya.

00;13;10;52 - 00;13;34;11
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
So there you have it. That's actually the game that I'm going to include in the submission. It's usually like on the do I am game page, the actual like resource page taken of how to play. So that's how we're going to play it. Go either way. So New order unlocked. New game from scratch. And as a reminder, the Hybrid Heroes Patreon tier $4 per month,

00;13;34;21 - 00;13;43;40
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
$48 per year is where I will be debriefing this and every other week in this, playlists series and giving away the game.

00;13;43;41 - 00;14;00;48
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
So, if you listen to the podcast, the Dropbox link to this game is included for free. Or if it's over on D, I am of course, you can go grab it over there for a couple of bucks. So all three challenges completed. Next week is the final week and we are going to throw it absolutely into a tiers.

00;14;00;48 - 00;14;07;11
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
That video is going to be linked right here on screen. But until next time. And as always my friends don't forget to stay hybrid.

00;00;00;52 - 00;00;27;34

I'm designing my real youth ministry program in this playlist around these three different rules for the next month. Rule number one is that the order does not repeat, and today I'm intentionally giving a wrong order. We're also going to be making a different DIY and game from scratch every single week. And I'm going to tell you how you can get this game for free and get it early before it releases on the site.

00;00;27;36 - 00;01;05;37
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
And step three, I'm going to evaluate and reflect how it went. Welcome, everybody to part two of the Hybrid Minstrel Show Programing challenge. Well hello everybody, and welcome back to, this episode of the Hybrid Ministry Show. You know, in this episode, we are going to be programing a service. Wrong. And here's why. It's wrong, so to speak, is that there's kind of like a standard assumed order for, for instance, if I pull open, the February 11th service plan, which I'm filming this on January 15th, so still a full month out.

00;01;05;42 - 00;01;25;34
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
There's already like a basic service order kind of mapped out. And like this is very similar to what we did in that last week's video is going to be linked up right here at the top screen. If you've not seen that one, there's a free game and that one as well. That's kind of like our standard order. And and actually after that video, we had to shift our order a little bit because I'm going to be out of town.

00;01;25;39 - 00;01;41;52
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
And I don't want to be out of town on, the week of this message, the text message. And so, I'm going to teach this one in the room, and then, we'll do something different for when I'm out of town. Stay tuned for next week's video, but I'm going to do something, we're going to do it completely wrong.

00;01;41;52 - 00;02;02;00
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
And so, I'm going to go ahead and instead of opening with worship, which is kind of like the assumed beginning of everything, we're going to actually open with the introduction of the message, I'm going to come up here and I'm going to do the first couple minutes of the message, let's say.

00;02;02;05 - 00;02;27;28
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
I'm over here with my Google doc and a split screen we're going to open and we're going straight for it. We're going straight for the message right off the top rope. And like I said, we're talking about sex. So it's going to be a little bit of a heavy topic, which also makes my table talk a little bit tricky because, I got to trust tables and students to handle that discussion with proper amount of care.

00;02;27;33 - 00;02;49;45
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
But then we are going to, after the table talk. We're going to do worship, right? Jammed right there in the middle. And so we'll do the opener followed by a couple of songs. Then we're going to put the game in the announcements after worship last night. Date of recording in January. We have a January Wednesday workshop.

00;02;49;53 - 00;03;03;51
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
So that means worship has to be at the very top. And then we just miss everybody and they can go to different places in the building. So everyone worships and then they're split up as part this month. We're not going to be doing that. And so I have a little bit more flexibility with where and when we put worship.

00;03;03;51 - 00;03;26;09
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
So we'll go ahead and do the welcome and announcements here. And this is going to be the game. We're going to do a Four Corners trivia game. You know last night yesterday was actually I was in my car, on my way driving to work, and I was thinking about this video and, you know, last week I created the the game that if you go back to last week's video, you can grab a free copy of it.

00;03;26;14 - 00;03;44;17
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
There are Patreon, $24 a month for eight hours for the year. Not only is it going to give you all these games and these, you know, bonus podcasts, but it's also going to give you, unlocking the free seasonal social media package. Whenever I leave cohorts, the number one culprit of people not being able to do social media, consistently is just timing and scheduling.

00;03;44;17 - 00;04;00;48
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
And so therefore, my pack will be the timing, the consistency in scheduling for you. And then you can infuse your own creative juices. Like, I have a resident right now who's, doing a disc golf shot over the roof of our building one every day until he makes it like there's incredible creativity. Sometimes you don't have time for that.

00;04;00;48 - 00;04;19;57
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
So have my pack. Let it run kind of on autopilot in the background. And then when you have an idea like that or volunteer resident, then hop on in and use it and scrap the stuff that I have. But my mind helps keep you regular. It's kind of like fiber. Anyway, so I had a student come on to me yesterday because I've been thinking all day, was my game going to be what's my game going to be?

00;04;19;57 - 00;04;35;36
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
And she said, can we play one of those four corners games where you go to a different corner and if you're wrong, you're out. And I'm thinking like loot and lunacy. I'm thinking like dead cat style. We've I even have some on the site already. They're just like basic trivia games. And so that's actually the game that I'm going to do.

00;04;35;36 - 00;04;55;46
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
We're going to, create a custom, for February. So maybe, maybe football and super Bowl themed, maybe like love or like pink or heart themed. But something kind of like themed for February. Around this four corner trivia style game. Like I said, I have a few on the store already. I'll link those down below, but this one for free for my Patreon members.

00;04;55;46 - 00;05;18;03
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
If you want to hear that, hop on over and you can get a free trial. And then you can get this week's, game complete for free. Dropbox link will just be in the podcast episode that did go ahead and drop on Monday. So for Chronos, trivia is going to be Ali and Cody. And then coming out of that, we're going to go ahead and do the bumper video, pull the students back together just a little bit, and then we'll do the rest of the message here.

00;05;18;08 - 00;05;37;12
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
I'm not going to include a table talk. I will probably have some sort of interactive pieces and elements. Table talks in all in throughout my message, just like we talked about last week. And my message here, and pray. And then the band is going to end with a response song. So we essentially sandwiched the teaching.

00;05;37;12 - 00;05;56;12
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
And part of as it is, is a heavy topic. I want to hit it right off the rev the top rev top rope, and then kind of like kind of like let them come up for air for a minute, worship and game and fun and then bring it back home to kind of round out the night. And so this is going to be our service order for this week.

00;05;56;17 - 00;06;15;20
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
It's wrong. You don't normally just open with the message. But but we're going to and we'll let you know how it goes. And so, I need to hop into the lab. I need to cook up this game. But different order than last week. So that challenge is done. But to do the game and evaluation is complete.

00;06;15;24 - 00;06;27;13
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
It happened on Monday over on my Patreon. So let me do this game and then I'll I'll give you a little preview of it. Here in just a minute.

00;06;27;18 - 00;06;48;48
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
You know, sometimes just like that, it is, 441 I would like to go home. It's Thursday. I was at a retreat all week, but I want to show you what we came up with here. Came up with a game called Dynamic Duos. So it's all things, like, paired well together, like peanut butter and jelly, macaroni and cheese, Batman and Robin, or different like duos are found throughout the Bible.

00;06;48;48 - 00;07;17;07
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
It's trivia based game, all kind of like a red and pink themed for Valentine's Day and love. And then, the students will go to the corner that they believe the correct answer is they're incorrect. They're out. If they're correct, they remain in and then they get to play the next round. Super simple trivia game, but get students up and moving four corners, and then we're going to probably go ahead and award the winner and their table some sort of prize or food package or best seats in the house like we had talked a little bit about last week.

00;07;17;07 - 00;07;35;13
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
So that's the video. And challenge two is now complete. Don't forget, level three challenge link down below in my Patreon if you want to hear how it went. This is Thursday. It happened yesterday. This is how we programed it. And the link down below will take you to the recap episode. So all three challenges met for this week.

00;07;35;24 - 00;07;39;47
Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry
So thanks for being here my friends. But until next time. And as always, don't forget to stay high.
