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.
