Chad, it's sweet to be with you, fellow teammate on the Zúme team, and man there's so much that we could talk about but we're gonna try and just squeeze in some snapshots in these next 20 minutes. And so, um – A couple of things that I would love to just highlight as we kick off, Chad, and maybe then you could tell a little bit about yourself. But you've been involved in seeing these Zúme tools and principles be actually created into YouVersion Bible studies, like the devotions on the YouVersion app that people could click on. And if I remember the last stats I saw, it was over a quarter million people [who] were engaging on Zúme through the YouVersion Bible app, and that is something that anyone can access and hop on. And then, on top of that, we all know social media but good old TikTok and exploring Zúme videos and sharing on TikTok.  And – really stoked about this announcement – if you guys haven't checked out the Zúme.vision website lately, there is a new feature and it is the live chat box! And so when you go to Zúme, to the website, you'll see a live chat box that you can actually, right there, click to be able to talk to someone from the Zúme team, from coaches from volunteers, on Zúme.training. And so it's been an exciting — Chad, like you have been a part of helping pioneer that. And so, man! YouVersion, TikTok, live chat box, and so much more.  And so, Chad, why don't you just tell us a little bit about yourself and then we can dig into some of just the stories of what God's doing and some of these cool resource access points.  Chad: Absolutely, Mary! I was hanging out with the guy that was discipling me, Eric Dairy, and he said, “Man, you should come into this meeting!” And it was a Zúme meeting and they were like, “Man, we really need somebody to help with social media.” And I raised my hand and said, “Well, I – I like playing around on Facebook and stuff, and and um, and actually have like two Facebook accounts that are kind of maxed out, but really enjoy, um, the social media world.” And so they were like, “Oh, that's great!” And so we started with a Facebook page and then an Instagram page and then a Twitter page, and now we've got a LinkedIn page and a TikTok page and the YouVersion stuff is my favorite social media. So, with YouVersion, you can go to Plans, in Search, type in Zúme, and you can see all of the different plans and different things that are up. Um. That would be the one social media tool that I would like to sink my time and stuff into.  But we are actively looking for other people that might be interested in helping us figure out how to get more people engaging and kind of just spreading the word. In the training cycle, you know, we pass this stuff on to people by modeling, assisting, watching, and then leaving. And so, with social media we can do a ton of modeling and, and kind of showing people the ropes and how to get started with this stuff. And that stuff is really exciting to me, and if that's exciting to you, the — My kids were giving me the hardest time about being on TikTok because I'm an old guy, and. And we just need some, some other people that would be interested in saying, “Yeah! Um, I'm in! I'd love to, to help run the Twitter page, I'm on Twitter all the time,” or whatever, you know? Uh.
