A fiery horse with a speed of light, the cloud of dust in the heart of Hyoselver, the lone ranger. With his faithful Indian companion, Tonto, the daring and resourceful masked rider of the planes led the fight for law and order in the early western United States. Nowhere in the pages of history can one find a greater champion of justice. Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear, from out of the past come the thundering hoofbeat of the great horse, Silver, the lone ranger rides again. Come on, Silver! Let's go be close! Hyoselver! Countless sun-baked miles of travel lay behind the long train of white top wagons.  The people in those wagons had left the life behind them and looked forward to a new life in the west. Jim Hatfield led the way, driving his horses from the seat of his prairie schooner. His wife rode at his side.  I will when I get sleepy. Right now, I'm not a big tire, Jim. Are you sure about that? Sure about that. Hey, Jim! The guide's calling you, Jim. Who? All right, Martin, bring your horse up close. Oh, go that way. Easy, easy, that boy, easy. I've been wanting to speak to you, Jim. Figured there's no use putting it off any longer. Anything wrong? Well, I'll tell you. Ever since you took me on as guide, there's been a certain amount of resentment brought. How's that? Dave Walton has his own ideas about the right trail. His ideas are some different from mine. What's he been saying? He keeps talking about the Oregon Trail. He thinks you should follow that one instead of the Santa Fe. That's already been decided, Martin. We're going to Santa Fe. A lot of men have turned to Walton, Si. The majority? I don't know about that, Jim. There might be. Walton's been making a lot of secret talk. He's got a number of men thinking you're too old to know what's best. Too old, huh? Maybe it's none of my fare, Jim, but I thought you should know. Yeah. Thanks. I'll drop back and make sure everything's all right with the other wagons. Let's hold the courses you're going. Right. Come on then. Well, if Dave Walton isn't the most ungrateful pop I ever heard, Jim, why do we have to have one troublemaker like that?  He thrashes me to think something like that's been going on right under my nose. Confound, Dave Walton. Maybe I should have a talk with him and give him a piece of my mind. Get a pair. Well, don't take it out on the horse. Mind if I climb to your seat for a minute? Come here, I'll slide over and make room. Easy to talk this way. Will your horse stay alongside? Sure thing. What's on your mind, Martin? Well, I'll tell you, Dave. There's a couple of things I thought you ought to know. Such as what? You've been saying some mighty fine things about Jim Hatfield. Sure I have. He's a mighty fine man.  He is a good friend. Well, maybe I'd better not say anything. What do you mean? Well, Hatfield has been saying that you've told lies about it. What? He thinks you've been turning some of the people against him. That's not true. I haven't done anything of that kind. I know that, Walt. There's a number of men who prefer the Oregon Trail, but they're all like me. They're willing to go along with the majority. I know that. That's why I figure Hatfield's being ornery and accusing you of turning people against him. I reckon the trouble comes from Hatfield being sensitive about his age. Sensitive about his age? That's the first I've heard of anything like that. Oh, he is, Dave. I can see it. He resents you and the other younger men, figures you'll outdo him when you finally reach the place we aim to settle down. Love all the fool notions. Oh, he's likely right about that, Walton.  What kind of ugly things?   Well, you know how things have been disappearing from the different wagons. Last few nights? What about it? Of course, Hatfield don't come right out and accuse you of being the... He hinted I was a thief? Well, why that two-faced old toad? As I see it, he hopes to set the man against you. That is as many as he can. Oh, I see. I'm sure sorry that I had to be the one to tell you. That's all right, Martin. Thanks.  Yeah. I want to ride ahead and take a look beyond the crest of that rise. It's about time to watch for a camp in place for the night. Yeah, that's right. I'll let you know if I hear any more. All right, thanks.  Riding far ahead, the guide was soon over a slight rise and out of view of the men in the wagon train. He cut sharply to one side, then rained up next to a large rock for me. Oh, go there, boy. In a moment, he heard the beat of hoops and an Indian wearing clothes that had apparently been taken from a pioneer came into view. Good for Charlie. He's right on the job.  Hi there, Charlie. I figured you'd see me right ahead and know I wanted to power. Me see you. Had any trouble keeping abreast of the wagon train? No trouble. Got a hander to you. You should do a slick job of keeping out of sight. Oh, that's not hard. Why you ride ahead? Why you want talk with Charlie? I just wanted to say that I've started the ball rolling. I put a few words in the right places. Took a little time for me to find out which one of the men would be most likely to split the train. I finally settled for a young high-spirited critter named Dave Walton. He and Jim Hatfield spend the rest of the day thinking over what I said. By the time we make camp for the night, they'll both be boiling mad. What me tell chief? You tell them that I'll have that train split up in less than two days. Maybe inside of the next 24 hours. Me tell chief. Tell them that when I'm done, you won't have to worry about tackling so many wagons at one time. I'll see that part of the outfit cuts off on the Oregon trail. That's good. If he'll watch the Santa Fe trail, he'll see not much more than half of the wagons will be on it. You can also tell them there's more firearms and hardware than I figured. And plenty of fire water. That's good. That's plenty good. You boys can have everything but the cash. Cash's all I want. That good bargain. Cash's no good to you Redskins anyhow. So everyone will be satisfied. Everyone but the pioneers. That's right. I better get back to wagons. I want to be sure to keep things stirred up so that Hatfield and Walton don't have a showdown as soon as we make camp. Hello there, kids. Fixing your wagon? Yeah, that's right, Hatfield. Figured to put a brace on her while we're in camp. Maybe save a breakdown on the trail. Well, if you need any help, let me know. Loomis? Hey, that's two smells mighty good. Well, you have some, Hatfield? Well, thanks, but I got to get this water over to my outfit. Mary's waiting for it. Baby sounds right husky. Yeah, Critter's hungry. Yep. The fire will be firmed out before I can get it boiled for the coffee. Well, there you are, Mary. You get supper going. I'll be back in a little while. Where are you going now, Jim? Over there. I want to have a few words with Dave Walton. Jim, do be careful what you say. Dave Walton better be careful what he says. Walton, I want to talk to you. Huh? No, it's you, huh? I've been hearing a few things. Well, you're not the only one. I just want you to know you're not needed in this outfit. Oh, so now you're inviting me to pool stakes, is that it? Seems to me you don't need an invitation. Well, I don't. I wondered how soon you'd get around to speaking your piece to my face instead of behind my back. I don't say things behind any man's back. Oh, you don't? No, I don't. Hey, yeah. I'm not sottin' any, Ralph. If this old goat don't want me in his outfit, he can go his way, and I'll go mine. I don't want couple makers. I said that at the start, and I say it now. Oh, Jim, maybe you're mistaken about the thievery. The thievery? What's the trouble, Jim? Martin, you keep out of this. Walton, is it true that you've caught about half the outfit ready to cut loose? What if it is? So that's what you were doing when you rode from one wagon to the other during the last couple of hours, lining up men to desert the train. Well, what if I was? There's plenty of men who'd rather take the Oregon Trail. Then they can take it. Hold on, Hatfield. You run up against Indians or something. You might need the younger men. We'll get along without them. You bet you will. Of course, I'm just a guide, but it seems to me that. You keep out of it, Martin. Maybe if you apologize to each other. Me apologize? For what? You may have said things without thinking. I said nothing I don't mean. That goes double for me. I'll be glad to be rid of you. So will the others who are going to Oregon with me. Please, Jim, don't have any trouble. I won't have any trouble. If Walt wants to leave us, he can do it. Talk to anyone else. We don't need them. You might regret that, Hatfield. I won't regret a thing. Neither will I. Hey, how many of you aim to go with Walton? Walton, this is none of your fare. Well, I got to know Hatfield. Jim, it won't do the splitting. We're already split up as to that field. You couldn't hire me to stay with this outfit. I'm going to Oregon. Me too. All right. We'll settle this right now. We'll split this outfit and head in two directions. All right. Let's go. Let's go. The camp was soon divided into two groups. The wagons that were to accompany Dave Walton were moved to the side and lined up. While those that were to continue on the Santa Fe Trail closed up the empty spaces. Two men, one an Indian. The other masked watched the movement from a hill nearby. They could hear enough to realize what was happening. Hello. They're dividing that wagon train. Ah, and that's not good. They're not doing it because they want to. They're doing it because of a disagreement. Sound like plenty big arguments. Yes. Probably has started over something very small. Ah. That Overland Trail does things to men. And they get this farther tired. And there's a raw and a temperature on edge. They quick to resent the wrong word, quick to fight. Indians, Western here. Yes. I know there are. Indians, not attack big wagon train, but Indian attack small wagon train. That outfit splits up. Both of you, this may be wiped out. I'm going to see if we can do something about it. Come on, Toto. Get a much smaller. The curtain falls on the first act of our Lone Ranger story. Before the next exciting scenes, please permit us to pause for just a few moments. Now to continue our story. The Lone Ranger knew that the wagon train was preparing to divide. He also knew that this might have disastrous consequences. With this knowledge, the masked man and Toto rode west through the long hours of the night. The daybreak found them raining up at a fork in the Orville and Trail. Who's in the horse car over there? Here you go. Here's where the trails divide, Toto. The Oregon Trail branches off to the northwest toward the Platte River, then goes toward Fort Laramie. That's right. Santa Fe Trail goes that way. And plenty bad Indian over that way. Are you sure of that? Me know of Indian camp, not far from Kansas River. I see. And then followed bad Indian. They attack the wagon? Attack the wagon, not too many. I wonder how many Indians are in the village. Me not know of that. Maybe find out. Can you? Me try. And then all you can. See if the Indians know that wagons are approaching. I'll wait for you over there near that waterhole. Near that scout. Martin, the scheming guide, had also ridden through the night. He had gone directly to the Indians camp. And there found Charlie Red Eagle. I had to tell you, Charlie. Things have worked out fast in our thought, huh? What happened? Wagons are already divided. They plan to set out this morning in two different columns. He's reached a point where all the men have taken sides. Me tell chief. Me go. What's matter? Stranger come in camp. Another Indian. Oh, scout, popular, popular. What do you want? Me? Me trouble. What do you want? Pule, matu, ontede. What's he say? Him hungry, want food. Who might be there? What's that? Him here alone. Hold on, I've seen that critter. I'd never forget that horse. Let me talk to him. Hey, you. Remember me? Me come here, want food. Yeah? Well, you just wait a minute. Charlie, give me a hand. We were looking at saddlebags. No. No, you're not looking. Hold it. Stand right where you are. I'll blow the living daylights through you. Sounds a mighty curious about you. I can't remember what it is. Get the saddlebag on that side. I'm clasped, Charlie. Me get it.  Move, Tondo. Where have I heard that name? Me got this bag open. See what's inside it? I'm still working on this one. Here, food. Yeah? Here, food, two, three days. Well, Tondo, how about that? You come here saying you're hungry, and all the time you got food in the saddlebag. I don't mean to tell truth. Maybe you're hungry. But by the time you don't have to be, you've got the makings, Emils. You've got that bag open? Yeah, Charlie. Now we'll see what's here. Yeah, some tins of food. I wasn't so stupid, that, Tondo. Stay there.  Hey, here. What that? Mask. Now what? Hold on, Charlie. I'll begin to remember a couple of things. There's a masked rider, a white horse. The lone ranger, that's it. This Redskins is his partner. The rangers? Yeah. I met up with him once, some time ago. You remember that, Tondo? Ah, me remember. Well, why are you here? What did you come here for? Answer me. Where's that mask, man? Did he send you here? Me not talk. Charlie, listen to me. If that mask man's around here, he suspects something. He'll tell the chief that he can't lose no time. Lose no time. The wagon outfit split up already. By the time you can get to the Santa Fe line, the rest will be too far north to hear the gun play. Don't wait any longer. Tell the chief that, Savi. Me, Savi. Hold on.  We'll hog-tie this critter, and then I'll persuade him to answer a few questions. No, that's not good. No? Well, you'll see.  What's that? Man on the hill? You turn, man. Charlie, Charlie. You turn up. Me hit him. You take him. Let me up. Get out of the way. Him go, him get away. Where's my gun? Where's that gun I had? Get over, Charlie. Get out of the way. Here it is. I'll show him. You mess'em. Dog on red skin. Him too far here.  You saw what he did? He got me off guard. Hit me. Pick me up and throw at him. Him say, look at him. You look.  Never mind that.  As soon as that Indian reports of the Lone Ranger, there'll be a masked man heading for Bent's Fort. Soldier there. Yeah. If you don't want an army to fight with, you critters are going to move right now. Moscow, hold on. Hold on. Hello, our gunfire. Plenty trouble. We talk fast. Can't reach Bent's Fort in time. Me nor that. There's only one other place to go. We'll go there. Come on, tell them to set a big fire. Come on, soldier. Get him on, Moscow. Oh, God, it's Mary. It sure seems lonesome without Dave and all the younger men. I know, James. I feel as badly about the split as you do. But I feel even worse when I think that Dave would say such things about you. Too moved. You're not too old, James. If Dave hadn't been so hot-headed, we might have talked things out. I wish we had. I wonder if that guide went with Dave's mark. I don't know, Mary. Don't matter much. We're here on the trail's mark. James, I've been thinking all day. About what? About that guide. He just took his word for a lot of things about Dave. Yeah, he'd have no reason to lie about him. No. All the same, you didn't give Dave a chance to deny them. I wish you had. What's that? Jimmy, it sounded like an Indian. Give me some more of them. Jim, India's ahead. Warped. How far ahead? He'll be here in just a few minutes. Come this way. Here's some riding hogs. That's the way to pull the wagons into a circle. Get up there. Get up there. In here. Farmer's circle. Get a set to fight. Jim, there they come. Get around there.   Get the rest of the shots. Yes, Jim. Yeah, perfect. Pioneers knew what they were up against. As quickly as possible, they drew the wagons into a tight circle, unhitched the horses, and then turned the wagons on their sides. Now, tip this one. Tip her right over. Never mind what she's trying to do. Time. This next wagon over. Give me a hand. The lone ranger and toddler raced almost due north toward the wagons that had left the original train to follow the Oregon trail. Dave Alton and one of his friends were in the leading wagon. When they heard a cry ring out from the hill on their left, they turned and saw two horsemen. Hey, Loomis, look at those horses coming down the hill. Great guns. You ever see anything travel faster? No, sir, never in all my foreign days. Hey, hey, take a look at the first rider. What about him? I don't see any of these masks. Yeah, that's what I thought. The other one's an engine. They're coming at us like they mean business. Yeah, what kind of business? Better get your gun where you can reach it fast. A true man wouldn't attack a whole wagon train. I don't know about that. A man that can ride like that might tackle anything. They're riding right up to us. Hold on, hold on, hold on, wait up there. Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Pass the word right up. Hold on, boy. Go tell them they wanted to be rid of us. The guide is working with the Indians. What guide? Martin, he's led your friend into a massacre. And who are you? What's the difference? For all you know, I might be an outlaw. That doesn't change things. Hatfield, Conway, Hurley. All the others are in danger. That you will never see sunset. What did you say about Martin? Martin's working with Indians. They're attacking your friend. What? Hey, Dave, Martin's the one that got me down on Hatfield. Well, me too. He wanted to split your train. Great day. Come to think of it, Martin's the one that turned me against Hatfield. If he talked to Hatfield like he talked to me, then, yeah, Loomis, you bring the wagon. I'm riding a saddle horse. Hey, boy. We're cutting south. Indians are taking our friends. Let's bring those horses south and give them the whip. Follow me. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Come on. We're at number two, Henry. That's why they dare to tackle dirty redskins. They wouldn't have tackled us if we hadn't split up. I got one of them. Well, at least we're down-fighting. Hey, Jim, look over there. There's our guy. It's Martin. Well, that horn would double-cross and skunk. Sold us out to the redskins. Yes, let me get a beat on him, lad. He got it. Well, the others got him ahead of me. No. They got you. Not bad. I managed to keep going. Jim, you load your own rifle from now on. I'm doing some shooting on my own. There's one. We can't hold out much longer. They'll know they've been fighting. Jim, Jim, look over there. Horsemen coming over the hill. Finally they come. Mary, they're finally on the Indians. Oh, thank goodness. Hang on, boys. That's coming. Look, wagons are following the horsemen. Wagons, sure enough. Look at them come. Jim, Jim is our boy. There's Dave and Kate and Sam and Loomis. Look at them riding behind that man on the white horse. A reinforcement stash straight at the hard-riding Indians with guns blazing. Many Indians fell before the attack. The others lost no time in racing for the safety of the distant hills. They've been taking care of your wounded friends. I don't know what to say. Dave told me how you sent him and the boys here and led the way for them. Well, the last of the wagons is back in shape and ready to travel. Dave, I haven't had a chance to speak to you. I've been so busy since the fight. Jim, I had all of our wagons put back in your line. I hope you don't mind. Fine. Oh, good, Dave. How could I mind after hearing what the mask man had to say about that scheming poke at the poses I guide. And you know? Sure I do. This man told me, hey, where'd he go? Pete, where is that mask man that was here a minute ago? Over there, Jim, with the Indians. Hey, mister. We'll look for you in Santa Fe until the last time. Jim, if the West has many men like him, I'm going to be proud of our new home. You have just heard is a copyrighted feature of the Lone Ranger Incorporated.


Three people from the LGBTQ community and three Christians enter a film studio to discuss their spiritual beliefs No, this isn't the beginning to one of your uncle's offensive jokes. This happened and let's talk about it Okay, so before we dig into the actual video I just want to bring up with this one point way back Maybe Christians were responding this idea of just being totally immersed in the world right having friends that were non Christians Taking in media that just wasn't good And so they really emphasized a lot of what I experienced was this emphasis on hey be careful who you hang out with Be careful who your friends are Obviously be careful what media you take in but it was all kind of in this package of be careful be discerning and maybe it's not best We have non Christian friends to you know close non Christian friends And maybe just kind of back off that a little bit And I think we've gone into another ditch where almost intimidated or or scared in some ways of Engaging in these kinds of conversations with people that may disagree with us And I think you know, it's awesome for us as Christians to be able to say hey look I disagree with you, but I still love you. I still want to hear about your life I still want to try to you know help and minister to you where you are even if we don't agree on the same things I just think it's so sad when we cut ourselves off to those kind of you know friendships Just because we disagree with people. So I think this is a great This is a great idea of sitting down and talking with people you might not see eye to eye with Let's dig into it. There are times when I feel uncomfortable expressing my views around sexuality. I Am uncomfortable primarily because the bromance of like well There's two girls who's the boy and then it really just breaks the ice as it's like There isn't supposed to be a boy. That's why we're there I do my best to break the ice with the comedic deflection, which I've learned is is a self-defense mechanism. I'm a pastor as well I'm also a community leader in Boyle Heights and in that community. There's a large LGBTQ presence So there's that fear of really coming out and say what I believe because I do love everybody And I don't want to be pushed to the side just because I have a certain Feeling about No, any topic really, you know, I think we need to be careful in this video, you know It does some good things here but it also kind of paints Christians and LGBTQ people as Kind of enemies in a way Just the nature of making a video like this and even my video too like you may see LGBTQ verses, you know Christians who will wait battle it out You know kind of like on a real like relational level when I sit down with somebody, you know and say and and they're maybe from the LGBTQ community What are the things that are coming out of my mouth? Is it is it total like yo?    Let's talk about this, right?  I disagree with you I think the Bible teaches something very different from your lifestyle But I'm not just gonna bang it over the head of their head, right because they're a person How would you you know respond to somebody coming into your life and saying hey? how you live your life what you you know your identity is totally wrong and And all these struggles that you've had in your life They mean nothing to me and I'm just gonna push down what I you know what I want to tell you and That can that can be just really in a sense like insensitive Um obviously you want to share the truth You don't want to cover up the truth just because you're scared of hurting their feelings But at the same time look there's wisdom to growing and understanding right growing and understanding of what they've been through What their experience has been both these people talk about you know both the Christian and in the and the you know Lesbian lady they talk about how they're there's some hesitancy in sharing their views just because there's so much Hostility when you do state what you believe from their perspective from somebody from the LGBTQ community They very well may have been suppressing this their whole life and then finally you know Honed in on what they believe their identity is and now you're coming in and telling them that that is that's not That's not right, right? So there needs to be a great level of sensitivity that and I think the more people in our lives that that Resemble the culture as opposed to just our little you know our small little group of Christians as we start having people That have these different beliefs we're gonna learn how to navigate these relationships better and speak truth and love to them Some sins are worse than others In the eyes of you know of the God our worship I believe that any sin Separates us from him because he's holy and impure, but at the same time I think there are certain sins that will have greater consequences Yeah, I resonate with that for me it would be you know killing another human is the worst. That's it also it Then diagrams into abortion taking the life of another is huge is huge. Can I ask you to this? Do you all see homosexuality as a sin? Yes, and if so where on that scale, I don't think a Homosexual tendency or an attraction to somebody of the same gender is a sin. I think that's a natural feeling I think when you start engaging In a lifestyle and you act upon that tendency then because it goes against what I believe God designed then I think that's clearly a sin. Okay. Wow. There's a lot to get to there Okay, it are some sins worse than others This is a really interesting question because I think we can I know I've had the tendency to minimize Maybe put all sins into you know one one bucket in a sense You know there's a verse in James if you stumble at one point you're guilty of all of it So this idea that hey you break one law you're guilty of all of it So in a sense, you know all sins are kind of equal And and I think and I'm gonna kind of explore that but but I do want to say that Some sins have worse worse effects obviously, right? So if I've watched a John Piper video about this If you shoot somebody right versus if you spit on somebody it's gonna have different Effect right it's still a sin. It's still wrong right because you're still you know Jesus said whoever hates his brother is a murderer, but the effect was different So in a sense of what the effect was well the effect of murder was worse And it's also important to point out that Jesus did say that there is degrees of punishment, right? So if you know what is right and don't do it your punishment is gonna be greater than somebody who didn't even know But in context to how good God is, you know all offenses are Infinite offenses against God because he is so holy because he is so good because he is so just Every time we make, you know any kind of sin or mistake or whatever that is an infinite offense against God I think we want to be careful to not start putting ourselves on some sort of pedestal and say oh Well, I'm a sinner, but I'm not as bad as that sinner because they're doing these things because they're a murderer because they're a Homosexual or because they're you know, whatever it is like that And I think that is That's the that's what this question is getting at because they're seeing look do Christians think they're better than homosexuals Like do they think that they're not as big as sinners as homosexuals? And I think we got to be careful there because yes There are some sins that have worse effect and right and there is gonna be greater judgment for some sins But in the scope of of eternity in the scope of who God is we are all broken We are all sinful and we are all in need of redemption I just don't believe in sin because I feel that sometimes being punitive about things can like make you repress things and like Instinctually, I was like but not acting on them would be a sin like that's how it feels for me like being dishonest to myself That feels wrong.  So, you know, this is why I think it's so important for us to talk to people from the lgbtq community and not just Shout or not just, you know, post, you know, facebook message Like let's sit down and have conversations with people that we meet that are in our lives It's an identity issue, right? This stuff is the stuff goes deep This is who they believe they are like this This is a core aspect to their being in this in this other identity that maybe they had been suppressing for a while But now, you know, perhaps they feel free like they've established freedom It's not true freedom because we know true freedom comes from the freedom that we have in christ free from sin It kind of feels like freedom to them because now they can Go in on those impulses that they had been suppressing and now you're coming and saying, hey, no, these things are wrong It's all an identity issue. Well, let's not think that this is just their issue with identity I like you got to be able to look back You know, maybe if you're christian before you were christian and see where your identity was tied up in And oftentimes it can be a couple different things on the surface, but it is our flesh, right? The bible talks a lot about our flesh and our sinful nature We find identity in the things that our flesh kind of guides us to Whether that's like looking for approval or our job or achievement or, you know, our sexuality or whatever that is Our flesh is guiding us and leading us towards following our desires And then we put our identity in those things and that's where we find our, you know Our sense of meaning and purpose and belonging. Okay reading here from john 8 verse 7 For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to god for it does not submit to god's law Indeed, it cannot those who are in the flesh cannot please god You however are not in the flesh, but in the spirit In fact, the spirit of god dwells in you the flesh or that are like our desires, right? Or hostile to god. That's what that verse is saying, right? They're hostile to god and that's a very The big shift in a lot of people's worldviews because people a lot of people think, hey, we're good people Most people are good people and they're trying to do what's right and they would almost think that our flesh or our natural propensity Um, you know is towards god and towards doing good things, but the bible says no, it's not actually We're dead in our trespasses and sins, you know, we can't Please god on our own doing our our good works are like filthy regs to god And maybe you're like isaac. Well, why don't you bring up all those verses about homosexuality and stuff like that? Oh, I could do that But i'm talking Generally about everyone because even if you know if you're not a christian, whether you're you know in the lgbt community or not You have a worship issue.  You're following your flesh and the bible says the flesh is actually hostile to god So what are we going to do about it? Okay? This is roman 6 6 here So it says we know that the our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin Might be brought to nothing so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin the idea that we are free When we are just following our passions our flesh or doing what feels good to us that idea that that is free That's so counter to reality because in fact we're in bondage to our sin and you can feel it You can sense that when we're in bondage to the things that are actually going to lead us astray and often We won't see it now. We don't see the things leading us down the road to destruction like you think about an addiction to pornography It feels freeing to be able to just watch what you want when you want to But those things have consequences not only on the immediate right now our relationships or interactions But also ultimately spiritually and how we're going to be judged and held accountable for those things So in 2nd Corinthians 5 17 it says therefore if anyone is in christ He is a new creation the old has passed away the whole the new has come It's all by the power of god You know the amazing thing is that jesus came to give himself for our sin So we don't have to be held accountable for what we did Because he has given his life for us And now we can be indwelt with the holy spirit You know the flesh we were once following the flesh and the desires of the flesh and just Doing what we want and and a lot of us had that same worldview of that lady and saying it's almost a sin to not Do what we want. That's how we almost see it But now god transforms and he can transform your Heart and turn it towards him and you can be indwelt by the holy spirit Now you don't walk in the desires of the flesh. No, you walk by the spirit. Thanks so much for watching guys I so appreciate you.

So apparently the happy couple Danny Cone and Mikey Tua came to my hometown of Las Vegas and got married but that might not exactly be true and as always there's some lessons we can learn from this. What is up everybody this is Chris from the Rewired Soul where we talk about the problem but focus on the solution and if you're new to my channel what I try to do is pull different topics from YouTube or pop culture or movies or TV shows and see what we can learn from them. So if you're into that kind of stuff make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell. So yeah it was announced not that long ago that Danny Cone was pregnant and I thought she was 15. Some of you are saying she's like 13. I don't know it seems like there's a lot of stuff going on about her age. I don't know hopefully she's at least 15 but either way it's an awful situation. So anyways yeah they recently came out to Las Vegas and they got married because as you know here in Las Vegas you do not need to be a resident to come out here and get married and you can get one of those themed weddings like they did with Elvis Presley. Which by the way I thought was very weird and awkward because they're both so young and I doubt they even got the Elvis Presley references that were going on.  So anyways and by the way this is gonna lead into a bigger topic that I want to talk about with youtubers influence and some things like that but anyways I was sitting here and I live in Las Vegas and I know that some of the laws are different here so I wanted to see I was like can you get married at that age whether they're 15 or 13 because usually like for like tattoos for example usually you can do it with a parent's consent right so I'm like okay well Danny Cone's mom is clearly involved in this so maybe she like signed off and said yeah cool they can get married or whatever and I went up and I looked up the Nevada laws and no no you can't so the legal age of marriage in Nevada in the state of Nevada is 18 years old with a parent's consent is 16 years old so whether Danielle Cone is 15 or 13 it is illegal to get married so this whole thing was a hoax but anyways you can check out you know the laws down below I'll link it down in the description but why does this matter why does this matter so when I look at things like that when I look at young youtubers and people doing whatever it is to get views and come up and things like that I look at it as the perspective of a father as well as somebody who's just always looking at society as a whole and what people are doing right so first let's talk about why there are laws for age limits okay the primary reason is and a lot of people don't get this but it's actually based on the fact that the brain does not fully mature until your mid to late 20s okay like this is why like there's a drinking age there's a driving age there's an age to join the military there's an age to get married there are so many age limits and something that's been brought up regularly too is that young people even younger than Danielle Cone's age or Mikey Tua children have a problem separating fiction from reality okay this is one of the reasons why I encourage like parents to watch what their kids are watching see what they're watching so they can have conversations about that all right so to that young audience like it is influencing them making them think that this is real this is a good idea okay but anyways there is a reason why there's age limits on this so the issue that comes up with this is like look at people like Jake Paul look at people like Logan Paul look at kids like morgues right who are making these fake videos for views and look at who their target demographic is okay and what we're seeing is and this is just gonna keep happening with the positive reinforcement that all of these youtubers get it's gonna keep happening like I hate to say it but the reason why Logan Paul filmed a body in Japan was because he got caught up in the in the mindset of do anything for views right and like that is how these really dumb mistakes happen but then you look at his brother Jake Paul who people say isn't as bad right but I constantly look at when Jake Paul did that whole like fake killer clown kidnapping when he was still with Erica Castell and how many children thought that this was real right but then you have kids like morgues who's come up on YouTube and he has like millions of subscribers I think he is constantly making fake videos for kids now there's no like laws or anything about that on YouTube but when you're watching a TV show like you know whether it's reality TV or its actors or its cartoons or whatever on YouTube the lines just continue to blur and overlap all the time right like one day somebody might have a real vlog the next day they might do something fake real fake real fake real fake and it's hard to distinguish the two so when you look at somebody like Danny Cohn who's young you see like who is she looking up to what youtubers are she look is she looking up to to aspire to be right when you look at these other youtubers who have more subscribers than her why do you think she's doing the things that she's doing and all this is doing is it continues the cycle this is the same thing we see with parenting right like kids who have messed up parents are more likely to turn into messed up parents you know what I mean so when you have the biggest youtubers on the platform some of the biggest youtubers being a bad influence to the younger generation coming up you get people like Danny Cohn doing anything they can for views and her and Mikey know the game they know the game very well they've broken this up into a four-part series and they're bouncing the views back and forth first video is on Mikey's channel next video is on the Daniel Cohn channel next video is on Mikey's channel the next one's gonna be on Daniel Cohn's channel so that way they're both benefiting from it in the YouTube algorithm loves that and all sorts of stuff right but anyways we need to look at this and think about what the younger generation is seeing and they're they're getting these ideas that it's okay to lie to get views it's okay to make a spectacle to get views and it makes it even more difficult for young people to distinguish as well since Danny Cohn I believe I don't know like this makes me wonder about this too but I believe she actually is pregnant at that young age so when you're constantly again when you're constantly intertwining this style of videos back and forth it makes it very hard for children to distinguish alright but anyways anyways that's what I want to talk about in this video let me know your thoughts on this down below let me know what you think about youtubers going back and forth between real and fake videos and how you think it influences young people as well as the next generation of youtubers but anyways that's all I got for this video if you liked this video please give it a thumbs up if you're new make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell because I make a ton of videos and a huge huge thank you to everybody supporting the channel over on patreon you're all amazing and if you would like to

The Cavalcade of America, presented by DuPont. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Basil Reisdale speaking for DuPont. The story of tonight's Cavalcade is the story of the man who could well fit the title of America's Balladmaker. He was Stephen Foster, gentle, shy Stephen Foster, who has given America many of the songs she loves best. Stephen Foster touched life and found song. Song which has become a heritage and tradition in America's Cavalcade. In the eyes of those who lived in his contemporaries, Stephen Foster died of failure. In the hearts of those who have lived since, he has been as meaningful as the sun, as needful as the full mellow moon. Gentle Stephen Foster, who taught America to sing. The narrator and chronicler of the Cavalcade of America, Thomas Chalmers. Summer of 1826. On July 4th, it was an exuberant nation that celebrated the 50th anniversary of its Declaration of Independence. In a grove behind a rambling white cottage in Lawrenceville, just outside Pittsburgh, the friends and neighbors of William B. Foster were gathered for a holiday feast. And according to a custom of the time, no one sat at the head or foot of the table. Those places were reserved for two porters. At one end of the table, a picture of George Washington, at the other one of Lafayette. Thirteen prepared formal toasts were drawn, one for each state of the original union. And it failed to William Foster to propose the second. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you a toast to Lafayette, distinguished friend of America and of universal liberty. And now, I know you won't mind, I would like to propose another toast. A toast to my wife, who, for reason you all understand, could not be here this noon. Tell me, William, have you picked out a name yet? Well, if it's a boy, we thought we'd name him for our neighbor's little boy, Stephen Collins. And if it's a girl, Mr. Foster? Well, I really hadn't thought of that possibility, Mr. Fenton. That isn't just like a man. Excuse me, Marge Foster, the doctor wants to see you in the house right away. Oh, yes, yes, if you'll excuse me. Certainly, William, certainly. Let us know right away. You know, Mr. Fenton, I'll never forget the time when Maya first boy was born. I hope this one's a girl, just to show you men. Well, our country's flag was designed by a woman. Of course, Betsy Ross didn't need space for enough stars, but she couldn't be expected to see that far ahead. But as I was saying... It's a boy! It's a boy! What did you say? It's a boy, and Mr. Foster is alright. An eight-pound boy. Just as I thought. Ladies and gentlemen, I propose a toast to Stephen Collins Foster. Born on the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, may he one day be President of the United States. The boy born into the world that memorable 4th of July was a shy, gentle child. Staying much to himself, content of an evening to fall asleep beside his mother. As she played and sang him the only music she knew. And yet as Stephen grew older, she was surprised and could not understand his strange aptitude at making tunes and setting him down on paper. To a father who spent his days in the hustling, bustling 1840s, music was a woman's pastime. A man's worked with the building of this new nation. Young men were going west. So one day in 1847, on a dock beside a river packet, 21-year-old Stephen Foster kissed his mother goodbye and gravely shook the hand of his father. Take good care of yourself, Stephen. I will, ma'am. And keep that scarf wrapped around your neck. It's a long way to Cincinnati. Oh, ma'am, Stephen's a man. Now he can take care of himself. Sure, I'll be head of the firm of Irwin and Foster in no time. Not if your brother Dunning can help it. You better remember at first that you're just a bookkeeper. I've written him to show you no favors. Goodbye. Goodbye. Goodbye, ma'am. Goodbye. Goodbye. Cincinnati Stephen Foster worked hard for the firm of Irwin and Foster. He was a good bookkeeper. But while he worked, figures turned into the notes of melodies, continually singing in his mind. Then one night after a performance at Melodian Hall, he called on William Rock, a menstrual performer who affected long curves. The meeting took place in Rock's dressing room. Come in. Foster. Yes. Well, my name is Stephen Foster. Yes. Well. Well, I wish you'd sing one of my songs. Hmm. Write songs, will you? Well, I'm really a bookkeeper. It's my brother's firm. Perhaps you've heard of him, Irwin and Foster. Oh, yes. Well, do I remember purchasing tickets there from a cell from a troop. That was for our southern tour. So you're going into trade, eh? Bookkeeper. Hmm. Deadly dull, deadly. Hope you'll survive it. Well, I didn't choose bookkeeping for a career. Oh, well. It was a songwriter you're talking on my level, young fellow. Songs of my business. Rock, stable, harmonious. Have you got that song with you? Yes. It's not worked over much. Well, I'm always looking for new materials. Songwriters nowadays are terrible, young man, terrible. It's called Oh, Susanna. Oh. Not exactly in the Mr. Lime, but let me see it. Well, the first time it was ever sung was at Andrew's Eagle Ice Cream Saloon, over in Pittsburgh. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Not bad. The frame is quite a little. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Say, it's a catchy piece of note juggling at that. Do you think an audience would really like it? Well, I don't know. These comic songs don't always get the laugh they're supposed to. I tell you what I'll do, though. I'll have one of the boys try it out with a show. Thank you, Mr. Roark. Oh, don't mention it, young man. Any time you've got another song, boy, just ask for Billy Roark at the stage door. The one and only Minstrel Singer. If there were mistakes in Stephen Forster's bookkeeping that week at Irwin and Forster, it was understandable. And on Saturday afternoon, he stood in the wings of Melodian Hall, as Roark's black-faced Minstrels went through their paces. I tell you, Mr. Bowen, what do you think of a singing tonight? A singing tonight? Well, it's all right, Jeff. He's doing it all behind the scenes. A new comic song, all together, rendered by our singing star, Mr. Tinker of the Sable House.   I've come from there to bury with my angel of undies. Oh, when I get to New Orleans, I look around and round. And when I find Susanna, I fall right on the ground.  And when I'm dead and buried, Susanna, don't you cry. Well, Susanna reflected the spirit of America before the Civil War. Millions sang it, great handlers on the levees, workers on the railroad, pioneers forging westward in colored wagons, but only a few knew that it was written by Stephen Collins Foster, for whom bookkeeping was becoming daily more arduous. Something had happened to Stephen. He didn't hang around feathers anymore. After supper in clean color, a bouquet of flowers in his hand, he'd go calling. On a young lady named Jane McDowell, one day early in 1849, in the office of Irwin and Foster, four, seven, thirteen, twenty-three, thirty, two, four, nine, seventeen, and eight is, uh, seventeen and eight, seventeen and eight. Oh, uh, hello, brother. Well, Stephen, busy? Well, I'm afraid my mind was wandering there for a minute. Oh, what's the trouble? You're in love? No, no, of course not. Just, well, tunes keep running through my head. They seem to crowd everything else out. Well, you were doing very well at this job for a while. What's it giving up this songwriting? I know that it's not fair to you when you've given me this chance to make good in business, but I just can't seem to keep my mind on the figures. I don't know what it is. I think there's something more ailing you than songwriting, Stephen. Come on now. You're in love with Jane McDowell, aren't you? Well, what if I am? Well, you know what the question is. It might as well say it and get it over with. Take yourselves a nice honeymoon and come back here ready for business. I tell you, Stevie, the possibilities for a young man like you are unlimited in this country today. Look at your brother Morrison. Not 30 yet and already successful in the copper brokerage business. This is no time to be fooling around with song, Stephen. There's work to be done. Perhaps you're right, darling. But it isn't fair to Jane either. I'll ask her and if she says yes, I'll settle down and make good. I promise. It was a soft summer evening in July 1850, when Stephen pulled the doorbell of the McDowell mansion. Old Joe, the family man's servant, admitted him. Oh, Marce Stevens. Evening, Joe. How are you? Well, Marce Stevens. Is Janey in the library? Yes, sir, but that's right. Don't bother doing that to me. I'll go right in surprise. Well, come along. Well, Joe, you're feeling better these days, I hope. Well, sometimes it's hard to keep going, Marce Stevens. When you get to be my age, you're putting near the other side anyway. Well, I'm surprised to hear you talk like that, Joe. Of course, that's a good talk, Marce Stevens. Well, soon to see you and all the folks I love the most. But Marce Stevens, Joe, I'm going to tell you something. I've got to be a fine upstanding businessman from now on for Janey's sake. I'm not going to write any more songs. No more songs? No more songs, Marce Stevens? Oh, sorry to get that. Well, maybe I'll write just one more for you, Joe. Well, thank you, sir. But listen, Marce Stevens, you mustn't do... No, what's the matter with you, Joe? Now, here we are. Shh, shh, shh. All right, now, I want to surprise Janey. Janey! Oh. Oh, this is... Well, well, Steven, I'm sorry. Really, I am. I didn't realize you were going to call tonight. Steven, you know Mr. Richard Collins. How do you do, sir? It's definitely confusing. Oh, think nothing of it, Miss Jane. I assure you. Yes, well, as I was about to say, Miss Jane, Jeff, that is Mr. Jeffrey Williams, said to me, oh, but Ronald wouldn't have been at her ice cream social at all, because he likes ice cream. Uh, you know, likes ice cream. Yes, yes, sir. Steven, will you put that book down? Uh, reading. Here, Miss Lawrence. That late? Oh, then it's time a gentleman retires. Good night, Miss Jane. Thank you for an unusually charming evening. Good night, Mr. Collins. Going my way, sir? Steven. Well, I'm... Good evening, Miss Jane. Thank you, sir. Really, Steven, Mr. Collins, the one of our up-and-coming young lawyers. Now, Jeannie, you listen to me. I want your answer, yes or no. My answer? Steven, what? Yes or no. Yes, yes, Steven. Jeannie, I'm not much good, but I'll try to make you happy. I'll give you everything I can. Oh, I love you, Jeannie. I loved you from the first moment I saw you. Your hair and your hands. So little. Soft. Oh, dingy, dear. I love you so much. Some months after they were married for a belated honeymoon, Jeannie and Steven boarded the river packets in New Orleans, down the Ohio to the Mississippi, down past Carol, past Natchez and Vicksburg, down to New Orleans. Floating on the broad tranquil waters, moving slowly down to the sea, their love steeped itself in the calm, rich beauty of the old South. The night birds, the boat whistles, the churning paddle wheels, and the songs of the steeper doors rolling the great veils of cotton wove themselves into haunting melodic in the mind of Steven Foster. Oh, so very happy. I think this is the loveliest night of all time. The moon's almost full, isn't it? Like the end of a song. The song I'm going to write some day about all this. Oh, you'll be proud of me for writing that song, darling. You'll... Oh. Steven, what's the matter? I forgot what I promised Dunning. No more songs. I'm a married man now. I've got to concentrate on business. Would you mind that so much? Of course not. There's a great future for men like me in business. Particularly now, I... I read the other day where... You would hate it, wouldn't you? Maybe. A little, sometimes. I must go back to you, neither the real world, back to Erwin and Foster, back to book people. Steven, what would happen to Erwin and Foster? Maybe success. Maybe death will pay you, right? But Susanna would have made a lot of money if I'd handled it right. I can write other good songs. We'd have a living, anyway. Zini. Yes, Steven? Would you stay by me? Oh, Steven. Steven Foster never went back to bookkeeping. He finished the song he'd begun on their river trip. It was a good one. He took you to E.P. Christy, a prominent mystery singer of the day. Hope I'm not intruding, Mr. Christy. That's all, Father. Well, what have you got for me? Another song? Well, it may not be what you want at all. It's not a comic song. All right, play it for me. Well, shall I sing it too? The words are rather important. All right, all right, only. Well, I'm sorry. It's your word. I called at the Petey River at first, down in Florida, the Swanee, and I changed it way down upon the Swanee River. I tried several publishers, but they weren't interested. Mr. Christy, since I quit Erwin and Foster, I'm desperate. I've got to get my songs published. You... Well, you can put your own name down as the composer, Mr. Christy. Yeah, I could. Then after a while, my own name would appear. I'll give you $15 for the public to think I'm the composer. I'm sure First and Prime will publish a song. You'll get two cents for every copy sold. Man, here's the 15. Here's the bargain or not? Very well, Mr. Christy. It's a bargain. Within a month, the whole nation was singing all folks at home. The song beginning with the words was way down upon the Swanee River. But on the title page was printed the name of E.P. Christy as its author. First it followed Stephen Foster was to write other successful songs and be credited during his lifetime with their authorship. But he was never to forget that one faithful mistake. And for the rest of his life, he became a virtual wanderer unable to maintain his home, often friendless, forsaken by all except his faithful dog, Tray. But the death of old dog Tray left Stephen Foster alone. The death of Trayn Foster in New York. Songs by Stephen Foster kept appearing. But no one knew that Stephen Foster was ruining his life. And going his full-on way each shattered night back to the frightful solitude of his room on the bowery. One night in 1861 in the back room of a grog shop. Hey, Mike. Who is that? That's a sad-looking fellow. He was sitting down there every night. Oh, him. That's Steve Foster. Foster? Same name as the songwriter, right? Oh, that's who he is. And your name is Lincoln. Go over there. You show you a nice, brand-new song. He's always got a flame in his pocket. Yeah?  You're safe. Are you Stephen Foster? Well, yes. How did you know? Never mind that. I want to shake your hand. That's all. Thank you. Thank you very much. I don't understand it. How did it happen? How could it have happened? It happened? But... it did. I never know why things happened. I wanted so much to do something for Jeanie. To give her a good life. All gone. Jeanie's gone. I remember the night... Joe let me in. Oh, Black Joe. He's gone, too. You mean, one in the song? Oh, they're all in the song. Maybe I have done something for them. Maybe the song's all last. The scenes are beautiful. They...  There's a face. Flowers. It's... It's a beautiful melody. That... Well, maybe... people didn't have time to bother with someone who couldn't do anything but... write songs. There was something much more important. Then just 75 years ago last Friday, a police reporter was checking in his stuff with the night editors of the New York newspaper. Have you got anything, Billy? Gang fight in the Lansing street. Warehouse on fire on North River. Not much either place. But this may be something. A fellow named Stephen Foster died in Bellevue Hospital. Stephen Foster? Who was he? I don't know. They found a purse on him with 38 cents in it. There was a slip of paper. Yeah? Something he'd written. Dear friends and gentle heart. Probably read it someplace. Shall I write it up? No, no, I don't think so. But you'd better give me something on the fire at a warehouse. Ben Collins Foster. And as long as song lives in the human heart, the melodies of Stephen Foster will never be forgotten. Melodies that have become folk songs in the cavalcade of America. I have good news and a safety headline tonight. Death rate on highways reduced. 33 and one third percent in three years. Just three years ago, January, the Automotive Safety Foundation organized a campaign to save human life. Tonight, it looks back on a year which, according to all estimates, will show nearly 8,000 lives saved as against 1937. And it carries me back to my wonder world of chemistry and the part it played in helping to save human life. Not so very long ago, men working in the DuPont Wonder World of Chemistry developed an important new product, crystal clear, leucite plastic, made from coal, air and water. It molds so accurately that it has been made into remarkable roadside reflectors. And when you are traveling at night, you and your family, these reflectors placed on posts, pick up your headlights, and reflect back the light like diamonds in a sunbeam. They outlined the road a mile ahead of your car. They were first used last spring on a highway in Michigan. And I am told that in 26 weeks, accidents were reduced by 60% as compared with the previous year. And now 17 other states are using them to save human life. But the wonder world of chemistry is never satisfied, which brings me to another achievement of chemistry, the newest development in safety glass. Now safety glass is a sandwich, a sheet of transparent plastic between two plates of glass. And DuPont chemists now offer an even better layer for that sandwich. Buticite plastic. More stretch, more flexibility, it takes a heavier blow to break this new safety glass. And it holds whatever glass is broken more tightly. Why, I've seen a pane of this better glass smashed into fine bits and then rolled up like a rug and the glass held in place. And the march toward greater safety touches tires, too. You know what excessive heat does to an automobile tire. You know what blowouts may mean. For 10 years, DuPont men and engineers in the rubber industry have been working to conquer it. The new heat inside a tire may run as high as 250 degrees Fahrenheit. And under such terrific heat, ordinary cords may lose up to 50% of their normal tensile strength. Then, to withstand that heat, DuPont developed a new rayon cord. Cordura rayon, made from cotton linters. These rayon cords are affected only 10% or 15%. Heat resistant, safety. Technical, no, it's romance. And those figures on safety prove how each day finds us coming closer and closer to the goal safety for everyone. The goal of men who work in a wonder world of chemistry. Who live by a great tradition, expressed in a DuPont pledge, better things for better living through chemistry. The story of a man who stands as one of the greatest inventors of any age, Alexander Graham Bell, will be presented by the Cavalcade of America. Until next weekend, at the same time, good night and best wishes from DuPont. The Columbia Broadcasting System. The Columbia Broadcasting System

Hi, everyone. Thank you so much for joining our webinar today with Product School. Today we're going to chat with you all about onboarding strategies to help you drive growth. And so if you're not familiar with onboarding strategies, by the end of today's call, you absolutely will be. And so as part of this session, we're going to help you understand how you can get a better, really understanding of your audiences across different channels and your audience's journey so that you can successfully onboard your clientele. We will walk you through some case studies of some of our own customers on how they've done this and some of the techniques and best practices they're using. We'll also share with you how AI and automation can make your job a little bit easier and also give you some better data and insights to be able to guide your onboarding journeys. And lastly, we'll talk to you about how to scale your onboarding strategy for retention, but also as your user base grows. And to give you a quick intro to me, my name is Megan and I head up the marketing at Mo Engage and I'm joined to you by my colleague, Vasil, who manages our strategy. And so with that, I will pass it over to Vasil and he will kick off the presentation today. Thank you, Megan. Really appreciate it. Hello, everyone. So just a very high level overview of who Mo Engage is. Mo Engage is a smart engagement platform. We use insights to really understand the user journey of customers and we help over 1200 customers and brands around the world. We use a massive amount of engagement on a daily basis. As you can see, we have customers all through the globe. We have offices as well in I think now 11 countries or something like that and a whole bunch of more partners. So we help startups as well as big large enterprise unicorns have meaningful relationship with our customers. So maybe we can kind of go into the next slide. There you go. Our offices. So what we are trying to do is really use insight engagement insights to understand what is happening with a customer in their user journey. So everything, all the data that we collect help us guide our customers how they engage with their users. So everything from onboarding, engagement, optimization to growth. And you can do this when you have the right data and when you have the right strategy. So let's talk about onboarding a little bit more and why is this so important to should be so important to you and it's so important in today's world. 74% of potential customers switch to other applications in onboarding process, if it's not right. So no user like a complicated onboarding process. So if you have too many fields, if you don't have the right integrations to switch to quickly onboard them in the app. If there is email that somebody needs to click on to confirm and they never get it. All of this is part of onboarding and the onboarding is so important today because you're spending a lot of money on acquisition. And the first thing that you need to do is to activate an onboard a customer. So this is why it is, you know, very this is probably the most important step of a user journey in the end of the day. Next. So in today's world, and I put some statistics here from Gartner, for example, everything is going on the cost of gas, the cost of food, the cost of technology. And is all of this is happening, you need to be able to understand better how to manage this cost. And if you can really manage the onboarding better, then, you know, all the money that you've invested in acquisition are not going to go away.  And 75%, for example, said that they believe the increased costs would have a negative impact on their business. We're seeing that we're going into a recession. And this is why, in today's world, there's going to be so more important that you take onboarding activation so seriously. Because these customers that you're trying to get also, you don't want to lose them at the first point of engagement. You really want to get them from day one and give them some value, make sure that they see how easy it is to get on your platform and take care of them. Next slide. So let's go through kind of what is the onboarding process, you know, what really is going on there, right? So to understand the onboarding and to really optimize it, you need to take a lot of data. Now, we take data that is coming from email, from the web browser, from CDPs, from surveys, from the apps, from your TV. This user properties, behavior data and everything else goes into basically a user profile. We create this view of the customer that is 360 view of the customer. Sometimes some people call it single view of the customer to really understand at the beginning, where is this customer coming from? What is today like? Who are they? Once you know this, you can then better carve and create that user journey, which starts with the onboarding process. Next slide. So this is what a simple user profile kind of collects, you know, and has in sight, right? We know who that person is, we know whether they're male, female, when they became a customer. How are they using the system? If there is some loyalty level, what kind of how loyal is that customer? Sarah, in this case, what is the LTV customer, right? A lot of KPIs are very important. So the more data you collect, it's not just to use the data, but to really convert this data into insights. And when you convert this to insights, you can then better understand how to help a customer. Is this customer a happy customer? Is this customer not happy and potentially, you know, or a returning customer? And so based on this, you can kind of figure out what offers you want to give them, what user journey, how do you want to kind of move the user journey of that user throughout? Maybe you want to make it easier or you want to get more information. So by understanding the user, by understanding where they're coming from, how they're using the system, what actions are they taking inside, how long are they staying in the app, or they're not staying on the app, where they came from and all that, you can then really start generating a better user experience. Next. So let me give you here a specific example. Audio Mac is one of our customers and for them, the onboarding is the most important part. We've had a number of conversations with them and so what they want to do is make it as easy as possible. Once you log in, be able to find the music that you like and to be able to start listening to it very, very simply and very quickly. So understanding what kind of music you like and then having maybe pre-built a playlist of that specific music is going to really help these customers have a great experience. There's so many options out there today, guys, as you know, for music apps, for all kinds of apps. So any brand needs to take the first and most important part of onboarding, so important. So when you can understand if somebody's coming from a rap website or having met a website, you can then really tailor the journey and have the type of music that they're going to listen to expose to them right away rather than have a very generic user journey. So again, understanding the user, understanding what that really means, what are those insights is going to help you to convert those users quickly into a bank customer as well. So let's look at a sample flow of onboarding journey. Somebody has found the app and they're installing it. What that means is that they already were advertised or they found it one way or another, they installed the app. After a day, if there is nothing really going on, you can send them push notifications if they have already opted for this, right? Who are the trending artists? Maybe we know already a little bit about them, where they came from, maybe they indicated what type of music they like or they clicked on a couple of songs so you can kind of understand it. They like opera or they like rap or something else. And so based on this, you want to quickly engage them. The next day, you wait one more day and then you send them what are the top songs via push notifications. You wait a few more days and then you send another push notification to a global level. You wait a few more days and then you send notification around supporters. So supporter push is a very interesting option between Audio Mac, which allows you to kind of support other artists. And so they're creating not just an app for listening experience, but a community. So again, if you understand why people go to one app and they have a very kind of different purposes, some just kind of want to enjoy some user experience, some want to contribute, others want to support a bigger community and engage with others. This is a great way to, again, in this case, engage your customers, engage your users. And you don't want to do too many of those notifications the same day or wait too long. So the other very important part of this is this gets optimized through testing. So maybe this is not going to be a very good example for every app out there, but you need to test and figure out depending on the users, depending on the content, depending on the vertical test different things. Am I going to wait the day? Am I going to wait three days? Is this person still engaging? Maybe you don't need to do some of those things and you can bypass some of those stuff. So again, use different channels. Think about understanding the better the user. And for Audio Mac, this is one of the user journeys that really work great for them for onboarding. Next slide. So Audio Mac did that specific, for example, journey. And this is what they got. They really had some lift in their conversion rate. So 8.4% increase. It's pretty good, you know, results and KPI. Excuse me. You know, in week one, they were getting only 4%. In week two, they got 5.1%. Week three, 5.5, and so on and so on. So during this whole thing, session per user also increased almost 18%.  Maybe you can do much better engagement, but 18% is not better at all. And the premium trial started converting at 18% as well, increase. So again, test different things. You always have to test, have a hypothesis, and try new things all the time. In this case, for Audio Mac, that worked very, very well. Next slide. So what are the factors here that, you know, influence the quality of this engagement? You know, we talk about to product people versus marketing people. The conversation was so different. But product design seems to be one of the most important things. And ease of use. So if you have an app and kind of like look at where the buttons, and you have a phone, for example, are the buttons down in the bottom where it's easy for you to access, especially on this bigger phones nowadays, or do you have buttons that are in the bottom? Then you have some buttons on the top. And I can give you a lot of examples for bad design where even me with my big hands, I have hard time, you know, switching between different options of an app or trying to find where is this and where is that. So optimizing the user experience of the design and app, whether this is a mobile, whether this is on a website, is one of the most important things. Again, how do you find this out? You look at insights, you look at the user journey. If you are seeing that users are dropping off, especially during the onboarding process, you need to understand why. You need to look at deeper into the data and see where is that drop-off happening. What type of users there is a drop-off? Is it with a specific operating system? Is it with a specific device? Is it with a whether you're looking on the web versus on the mobile? And so on and so on. But ease of use and simplicity is what makes, you know, what keeps coming back as the key ingredient to success. Then you need to kind of get, for example, let me look at here some numbers. For example, if you look at the different type of apps and verticals that you can be doing this, right? What kind of numbers you're going to get for this? Whether this is for business and finance, utilities, or educational. As you can see here on the slide, we have different numbers that are representing different KPIs about which apps are getting more, you know, better engagement versus others. But the type of channel here that influence the use, you know, is it that lifestyle? Is it utility? Again, all of this really matters and also different times. Right now, I bet you there is a lot of apps that are interesting to users around finance. And in this economic times, how do I save money? You know, what do I do because I'm most stressed out with my work? And mental apps have been going through the roof, especially during COVID. So it depends on, it depends on the vertical, it depends on a lot of things like that. Messaging strategy, that's another very big one. You know, from how often do you engage somebody? Are you bombarding them with messages on different channels, trying to get somebody to click and figure out which channel they want to be? Is it too much? Is it one a day, one a week? Is it five a week? You can overdo it. And also what is important to a specific user? If you can figure out what's important to one user versus another and you send them information, they're either going to ignore it, it's going to go into spam, they're going to flag it to the spam, and that's not going to help you. Here about speed innovation, this is an interesting one in updates. There are pluses and minuses when it comes to innovation, whether you have an app or a website. If you look at Meta and Facebook, they're constantly making changes to their app. Instagram, they just change and start testing the app without, for example, a shopping button. Sometimes you can do this easily if you're doing just some kind of a mobile testing, but sometimes people go and load the new app and you upload, and then you have to download it and then things break, and so it gets very complicated. So you have to think about what are the benefits versus the impact of having different changes that you can do on the site, on your mobile app and stuff, and do you want to do just some testing or do you want to do a full-blown change and update to your website with new features and new things? Try to do mobile testing, try to do website testing for a specific segment of the users and analyze that data for the user journey. Let's go to the next. So Empiricus is another happy customer of ours. They're a super app for the stock market. They're like a community of sorts as well in Brazil. They have almost half a million subscribers and they have lots of good content that brings people going back to it all the time. Now, what they did is they were using, for example, again, a user journey analytics and insights to understand what is happening with their customers, where is the drop-off? Once you install the app, what is going on? What works? What doesn't? And how long does it take for a user to go from installation to subscription in a user journey? And then they started doing a lot of testing and that really helped them optimize the user journey experience specifically at the onboarding activation point. Next slide. So this is like a very specific example with kind of their user graph. And so they looked at what is the problem?  And hers, the engagement retention, the onboarding and everything else. So the idea here was to change the flow. So the user directly has contact with the right code. Again, how do you do this? You need to understand a little bit about the user. And then you want to put that information to them faster. You know, where you don't want to have, you know, five clicks, whether that's on the website or on mobile to try to find the right content. And many times, even if you search it and how is that being displayed and so on and so on. So by understanding the flows and trying to shorten the steps and the time it takes for a person once they install and get on the side to finding the content, they were able to reduce the drop-off by 45%. They changed the whole bunch of things and, for example, the content engagement increased over 100%. The app sessions increased by 20%, which means that people stayed longer on the app and on the website to read content because it was easier to find it and it was giving them value right away. 45% is really good. Now, how do you scale the onboarding strategy for one customer to millions? And that's not an easy one. We call it user personalization and how do you do this at scale, right? How do you do this is, again, you use the system to do it for you. Hopefully you have the right system in place that allows you to automate processes for each user or type of user, right? So automatically, for example, figure out what is the best time to engage, what is the best channel to engage, what is the best message and on the best device for specific user. The system can automatically figure this one out for the user. This really is the best moment in user journey at the end of the day. There isn't really a best time. It's where is in the time of the journey, in the moment of the journey. Somebody, for example, is looking for a loan and you know that because they're searching through different websites and maybe the best channel for them is going to be SMS because they reply right away or they didn't put stuff in it. So figure out what is happening out there. Be aware of what are the external forces that they're happening. Interest rates are going up. There is recession. People really want to kind of jump in and cause that loan. Figure and use this in your journeys. You can't just build a journey and just leave it. You need to have multiple journeys test which one works for the what type of user and use the data to better figure this one out. And then the system can automatically do this for you and all your customers based on the segmentation that they have. Thanks, Vasco. And I was just going to add something on when it comes to the different tools. So obviously AI can be really helpful when you're trying to scale, right? And so there are several other tools out there. And this one in particular, we call RFM analysis and it stands for Recency Frequency and Monetary. And as a product manager, you want to create the ultimate experience for your customers. You want to make sure that you're offering them an experience that's meaningful, right? And so when it comes to this, go ahead, Vasco. No, no, I was just going to say, whichever tool you're using, whichever tool for analyzing you using, the most important thing though is going to be having good data. Make sure that you have good, hopefully first party data because it's a junking junk out. If you don't have good data, your analysis with whatever advanced AI or RFM tool you're going to have are not going to be as accurate. Sorry, Megan. No, no, it's so true. I'm going to go back to what Basil you had mentioned earlier around being able to make sure you're integrating data from different sources and you're creating that unified profile. And when it comes to tools like this, this is a way for you to easily dynamically segment your customer base so you can understand, okay, which of my users are the most loyal? Who are repeat buyers of us? Or who are hibernating users? I always try to think about the retail example because I'm someone who generally shops around Black Friday with certain brands, but I don't shop the rest of the time of the year. So I would be considered a hibernating customer. So how can you create an experience that's very relevant for me, but also that's separate from maybe your loyal customers where you're thinking about, okay, what kind of loyalty programs can I offer or what kind of content or products matter most to them. And so using a tool like this will help you scale and how does it work? Why does it work? It's really because you're able to quickly identify who are your champion users? Who are the users who are most promising, the ones that maybe have some potential? You might also see some that are at risk.  Or maybe you've seen that a customer has recently uninstalled a mobile app that you're using to engage with them. Those are all signals that as a product manager, you're able to pick up on so that you can try to change that path of the user and still offer them the most relevant experience. And when it comes to understanding what that profitable path is, we talked a little bit about user path analysis earlier. This is kind of breaking down what does a typical journey look like for your customers. And as you know, you have a lot of different customers. You have your at-risk customers, your loyal customers. You have your hibernating customers and so forth. And everyone may be on their own path. And so when you're thinking about how do I create that user journey and how do I create that flow, just know that decisions can be made with intelligence and AI so that you can create and predict what that next path looks like. Because you may go into it thinking, okay, I think all of my users are going to follow one path, but that may not be the case at all. You want to make sure that you're looking for what a path of reality would look like for each individual. And I want to just talk to you a little bit about how AI helps here. We're going to walk through another customer example. But really AI is meant to tell you what is the best channel for each individual at the right time. So you may have someone that you're on-boarding that could be maybe a premium user, and they would essentially fall into a different path than someone who could just be a one-time purchaser. And so AI will tell you which of those journey segments are driving those key metrics, leverage control groups to understand what's the best path at that right time and trying to let the machine figure out that journey for your customers based on previous behaviors or based on their preferences, going back to what Vasco said about the data, making sure that it's based off of data so that you're not making those guesses, but you're able to actually follow reality based off of what those conversion points look like. And so when you think about intelligent path optimizer, this is a product that we have here and we'll walk you through an example of how you can make this real. But it's really about allowing you to experiment because when you are starting to collect data on your users, you may not have all of the answers, right? You need to build off of previous data. You need to build off of previous actions that users are taking. And so what our intelligent path optimizer does is allow you to have some AB and multivariate testing so that you can essentially optimize paths in real time. Whether you're starting to see a trend that maybe path A outperforms path C or path C outperforms path B and path A, it will be able to optimize that journey for similar behaviors or similar profiles. And so when you're thinking about scale, this is I think the answer is how can I scale a unique path for each individual and it really comes down to that dynamic segmentation, that dynamic journey building in the moment. And so I'll walk you through an example with JibJab. And so JibJab, you may be familiar with, if you aren't, it is a media and entertainment company. They specialize in customized personalized videos for almost any kind of holiday or event. So whether you have a birthday or you have Hanukkah or Christmas or maybe it's just an everyday video, you can personalize your face within those videos. And so for JibJab, personalization is extremely important because that's the epitome of what their business is. But they were really looking at a customer journey strategy that helped them get more engagement but also increase their subscriptions. So fun fact with JibJab, they do absolutely no advertising to make revenue. Their revenue is driven specifically off of premium users. So you can start with a free account. They have some basic free videos, but their hope is to monetize those users so that they can become premium and have access to that premium content. And so what did they do? So they did a couple of things. And we'll walk through each of these on the next slide. Being able to identify a customer journey path. They built and experimented with multiple customer journeys and then creating a lasting impression with personalized notifications. And you can just see some of the results. So they had an uplifting conversion as well as a click-through rate with personalization. So understanding customer with user path analysis, so we talked a little bit about this already with Empyracus, but this is what a flow looks like for JibJab. So if you're using their mobile app, you also can of course consume content on the website. But this is just one journey for their app. And they wanted to essentially understand where do their users go before dropping off. And so the first is that the app is opened and they may share a video or a GIF. Then they may decide to do another video or a GIF. And then the last touch point is yet another video, content or drop-off. And finally it's to engaging with alternative content and then dropping off altogether. So there are multiple drop-off points throughout this journey. And that was allowing them to essentially use that data to craft what does a typical customer journey look like and how can I foster that engagement before they think about dropping off. And so they built and experimented with multiple customer journey paths. And so this is just an example of the different kinds of paths. And using our intelligent path optimizer, they were able to identify that path B was the most successful path in being able to prevent that drop-off. And lastly, what they did in terms of onboarding was really focusing on that personalization component because as I mentioned, personalized videos, that's the heart of their business. But if they're not offering content that's also personalized throughout that onboarding journey, they may be less likely to engage those users and retain them over time. And so they really focused on what are the personalized welcome messages that they could offer to their customers. Leveraging tools like push notifications to get them coming back to the tool or sharing new videos that they're promoting and making sure that customers are alerted of those videos as long as they are relevant to what that profile is. And so you can just see some examples to the right of what some of those push notifications look like as well as some of that relevant content maybe based on previous videos they've consumed with. And so some of the results, they saw 26% increase in click-through rate, as we mentioned in a 1.5 times conversion. But they also got an 82% increase in click-through rate and going back to that AI capability, they were really leveraging the best time to consent component because they want to make sure that they're sending these notifications and relevant content at the time that their users are engaging. And this was one of the areas where they were able to see the most lift by being able to offer the right path to the right person at that right time. And that is all we have today. I just wanted to thank you all for joining us and listening to some of these strategies and best practices we shared. Hopefully there's something you can take away to inform your own strategy. I also wanted to share that we will offer attendees a exclusive free limited trial of Mo Engage. That way you can try to test out some of these features yourself and hopefully see some initial boosts of improvement areas in your own onboarding experience. We have our emails listed here. We definitely want to hear from you. If you have a question, if you want additional insights or best practices, just send us an email we would love to meet you and learn more and answer any questions you might have in the future. Thank you so much for your time today. Thank you.


Hello, welcome back to JSA TV and JSA podcast, where we are covering the latest stories, trends and innovations from leaders in global connectivity, real estate and the networks within. I am joined here today by Sami Halepaynian from Equinex. He is the managing director for Finland and the acting managing director for Sweden as well for Equinex. Nice to see you, Sami. Nice to see you too. Thank you. Happy to be here. Yeah, excellent. We're so happy to have you. You actually just joined us from one of the keynote panels. You were talking about sustainable operating models. So could you give us the top takeaway or two from that panel? I would say the kind of most biggest topic there is around the sustainability is how you develop that in the future. It's very important topic for most of the people and most of the companies and probably everyone on the audience too. And it's very visible topic in here at the Nordic Sales and the market at the moment. So I would say if I would need to pick some key topics, it's probably what's next step. How do you develop sustainability even further from now? The heat recovery part, that's kind of baseline nowadays already. But where you go next? What you can develop on the next level? How you keep up going? You're going to make the climate better. Yeah, excellent. I love that. Always looking forward. And as in your role as Equinex's managing director for both Finland and Sweden, could you tell us a little bit about maybe the company's biggest win in those countries when it comes to sustainability? So okay, if I'm looking kind of back, let's say a couple of years back, one big topic is power purges agreements, which in essence is how we source power. So kind of most of the operators, they are 100% renewable, which is very typical here. But what we are doing at the moment is actually we are investing to bring more capacity to greed. So we're basically purchasing power agreements with companies who will build, well, in practice, wind turbines in Finland, for example, and in Sweden. So instead of kind of wrapping existing renewable power, we want to bring more power on the greed. Heat recovery is a very big topic at the moment. We have been very successful since 2010 in Finland and the coming years. We have been building it for the older sides we are having.  Absolutely. Excellent. Well, well done. Yeah. Thank you for that update. And then, of course, Stockholm is such a huge mobile market in particular in the Nordics and in Europe. So could you talk about how Equinex is able to keep up with that growing demand without kind of sacrificing sustainability? It's kind of how utilisation is better on sustainability perspective. If you have a high utilisation and a lot of queries coming in, you can utilise more better performance on efficiency level, which basically is that the more you get business, the more you have resources, you can get a mass benefit when optimising the data centre. So it's coming with the mass. Excellent. All right. Well, thank you so much, Sami. It was great chatting with you here. Thank you. And to all of our viewers back home, thanks for hanging out with us on JSA TV. Happy networking.


Hello and a warm welcome on what is a glorious night for football. Perfect playing conditions My name is Derek Ray Whitley and the commentary position is the former Arsenal and England defender Lee Dixon And it's all about action from the Premier League in this case It is Liverpool taking on Manchester and slept through beautifully shocking pass really This is Liverpool start the game. Mohamed Salah plays with Sadio Mane out wide and he takes us on And the care, absolutely brilliant goalkeeping James Just not looking confident in possession. Well, it should pick out a teammate. It shouldn't be shooting from there Well, we always think we know exactly what we saw but on these occasions They goal decision system comes in handy Lee. Well, not on this occasion because it wasn't a goal We can all see that but we'll have another look at it the tighter issues. Yes, but sometimes technology gets in the way That's just a waste of space Well, you never quite know who's going to dominate a game in advance But I think you can maybe make an argument for this fellow Lee. What do you think we'll see from him? He's on the ball all the time and his ability on the ball is absolutely phenomenal He doesn't pass the ball away He lends it to his teammates because he wants it back very difficult to get the ball off him For that move, but they couldn't make it count far from a good pass Beautifully waited ball focus on the ball. It's a very nice night in this part of the world Welcome to you big welcome. Nice to have you with us Martha Tyler here along with Alan Smith. We have Premier League action for you coming right up It's Liverpool against Manchester United I think if we get a nice sharp quick tempo to begin with We're in for a good treat here because got a couple of entertaining Clever pass Roberto Camino responsible for that That stopped him in his tracks because he's given offside There's plenty of space in behind to run into as well And here are the 11 who will start the game today. In goal is Alison Virgil van Dijk plays alongside Joe Gomez at the back Cavio Mane starts with Mohamed Salah in wide positions Saved by the keeper, he can't help Who knows we might look back on that as the match winning moment The penalty, I think it was clear cut and The fact that the referee's not booked anyone is that a bit lean These two players we picked out as the lightly candidates to keep a special eye on Alan Smith I love watching this pair play. I haven't disappointed this season They've been the most threatening players for me for both their teams Going forward with real purpose now Must yell didn't connect cleanly and it's a shame really because it was a decent shooting position. It certainly was
