Welcome back to Kids Fun Science. My name is Ken. Today's experiment is the science behind the friction erasable pens. As always, adult supervision is required. What you need for this experiment is a pilot friction pen or any kind of pen that has erasable ink. And I'll show that in the description where I got mine. So here's the friction pen with the erasable ink that I'll be using. There's multiple different kinds out there. I've just happened to be using the pilot. I'm going to do four different experiments. This one I'm going to make a grid. And then I'm going to save you from watching me do the entire grid and we'll come back when I finish it. So I just finished making the little graph here all over the paper with the erasable ink. We're going to have five different experiments starting off with the microwave. Experiment number one is to heat without the rotating plate. So we're going to turn it upside down where the rotating plate helps even out where the food gets cooked. So now it's not rotating. So we're going to be able to see with the experiment what actually cooks. So this was for 10 seconds and you can see there's just a couple spots here and there. But it's not really evenly cooking out the food. So I'll circle these so we know which parts were already done. Because I'm going to put it back into the microwave for 20 and 30 seconds. But I will just show you the results of the 30 seconds. So I'll set it here for 30 seconds and go ahead. And you can see there's it's right there and it's still like back and forth everywhere. So you can see that it's not cooking evenly and it's not cooking the food at all. So we'll do one more test. We're going to do one minute. So it'll be a little over a minute 30 here. And you can see it starts to cook the middle a little bit, but it's not evenly cooking the food. The microwave radiation waves are just kind of going everywhere because the plate is not moving. So it did it did cook the food in certain areas. You can see where the ink has disappeared, but it's not cooking it evenly. So we will go to experiment number two where I'm going to put the plate back in. So it's going to rotate this time. So we will see how that takes the ink. I did another sheet here and put it in and I'm going to start with 30 seconds this time instead of doing 10 seconds. And so we'll do 30 seconds in the microwave and turn it on. And I'll save you the time there and I'll come back to it now and open it up and look it's cooking from the outside. It almost made a complete circle and in the middle, which is pretty cool. Look at that. So this is 30 seconds. I just went straight on the 30 and it took out a lot of the ink. And you can see the rotating plate really helps on how the food actually gets cooked. So now we're going to do one more experiment with this. So you can see the difference there at the top by not being the rotating. So we'll do one more minute now rotating plate and we'll see what comes up. Look at that. A minute 30 and only the outside edges is touched, which is pretty impressive. So it actually cooked almost everything compared to the top here where it doesn't rotate and you can see that it doesn't evenly cook. So experiment number three is now we're going to write out Kids Fun Science. Everybody's favorite YouTube channel, right? Anyway, we're going to use a hairdryer. So with the heat, just by using the hairdryer and pushing it on, you can see that from a distance it's going to take all the ink. Now I found it kind of interesting that it came back. So if the ink is still kind of wet and I didn't write it enough, it still comes back immediately.  Experiment number four. So I'm going to write out Kids Fun Science here and I'm going to use the tip of the pen, which is just a piece of hard plastic. And if you rub against it, you cause friction, which it creates heat and it erases the ink, which is pretty cool.  I started to burn a little bit, so it wasn't fun, but I was able to erase the last part of the words just with my finger making friction. Pretty cool. The fifth and last experiment is to reappear the ink in the freezer. Experiment number five. So it's pretty incredible that you could put it in the freezer and have it because of the temperature dropped so much, the ink will reappear. So there it is. There's nothing really there in about 30 minutes, but on the top part with the ice, all the lines came back, which is pretty incredible. Then it's all back there and you can see my ink. So I switched it up on top and you can see all the words there. Kids Fun Science, like, share, subscribe. It's pretty cool. So thanks for watching and I hope you enjoyed this video. And if you did, make sure you share and I will see you on my next video. Hello?


We should recognize that there are many different paths to accessibility and transparent dialogue, a strategic plan, and just starting to act on that plan and allowing disabled consumers and others to be able to have a voice in the conversation in a way that they can be a part of that movement forward. When I talk about accessibility for marketers, I always stress that it's really important to step outside of your own lived experience when you create content because your audience doesn't necessarily look like you or act like you or live like you.


When you start the one to do right?  Well what made me go straight is, when I not seeing them, wasn't playing when they gave me that 35 years to life. Yeah we on Boss Talk 101. when you started one to do right? I mean people came and said we made you want to do this. We made you want to go straight out instead of standing straight like this? Well, what made me go straight is, when I'd seen them, wasn't playing when they gave me that 35 years to life. And I asked, why me? I didn't do the crime. They planted the drug, saw me to get me, the case to get me out the way. And then, you know, early in the day, I'd say, well, maybe it's God pushing me. But really, since I was the first one to ever get out up under the California Three Strikes Law and History, we were set a level four, which is in California. It's the highest maximum security prison you can go to. Minimum, minimum, maximum. And then this, this is the highest level where you don't see the sun come up. You don't see it go down. You're going to get maybe two hours of yard time.  It's pretty much where you're not getting a job for 10 or 12 years. It's like salt laying on wood. So anyway, we had a yard where nobody's going home. Everybody's life first. We are trying to do what we can. And everybody knew I had a chance on getting out on an appeal from a life sentence, which is, you heard earlier, Mar mentioned one of Geronimo Prats and then George Jackson, him comrades that spent in jail 50.  So when I got the paper on the appeal, everybody was standing around looking out the cages. And I was shaking so hard because I knew my life. If this paper say denied, I'm dying in prison. It's over. It's over with. But when I opened it, that first thing I'd seen was we won. And I just told him, shout it out. I'm gone, homies. So everybody, I had to wait 90 days. That was kind of stressful because the pillar of the court could file an appeal, even though it wouldn't have been, it would have been married to this. It still would have tied me up two more years. So from them seeing me getting ready to go, all of them gathered around and said, Melvin, don't forget about us. And so that inspired me to keep my word because a lot of these guys, I've been knowing more so in jail. And I've been knowing them all my life, but we've always been in jail doing what we do as opposed to on the streets. And I just took it upon myself. I wrote a book in 1998. I wrote that in six hours. That's still relevant. Then come 2000, I was with a political action group to where we actually wrote a law called the California 2003 Strikes Initiative. I'll send you a picture. And we did that. And then I joined families to amend three strikes, which was facts, cats, California's to amend three strikes and stuff like that. And then we opened up a Balt, who is that, Puff Daddy 2014 after I got out, Puffy had started Reboat. I was one of the first guests on there when he started it in Englewood. Most people think it's on the East Coast. Reboat started in Englewood and I was one of the first guests on there. And from there, I started doing civil rights, legal work, high profile murders, whether it be by friend, family, or foe, or those that are here to serve and protect you. And I just started doing things to where I just started leading by example to show you that if I can do it, you can. You know.


It did well come back, that was Eid al-Qawairi and I want as she tells us just more about that news and that you've just released a few, not even hours, one hour ago, right? That was like a few hours ago. I was just so excited about this song. This song was written by somebody who's come to become a friend of mine. It started when the videos went started going viral. So there was a producer who has now become my friend but by then was a stranger. He's called John Marsharia from Southgate Records.  So the first thing I told him, okay send me that song because I don't just do songs. But when I heard the song, it was so powerful, it ministered to me so much. I owned it and I just, you know, there's just a few changes, but very minimal changes, just a few changes here and there and we just recorded and oh my God, I'm just excited about it. It's a worship song just exulting God, just telling him, God, you are the Lord of Lords. Wow, that's amazing. Seeing that you've also done covers, I've seen some of your covers and I've heard them a real bit too. Although I do not understand because the language I walk, you know, I do not understand and also you've done, neither this song is in your dialect, yeah? Yes. So do we expect more songs of that nature? Or do we expect more English songs of Swahili at the same time? I think I have gotten a revelation that there are actually people who do not speak English and Swahili and they really, really desire ministration, but that does not mean I'll not be doing like the next song after Gaiwaga is shown there, hopefully by the grace of God it's going to be a Swahili song. So I think there's just going to be that diversity, but at the end of the day the same platform will be ministration. Yeah. Gaiwaga show. Gaiwaga show. Did I pronounce Gaiwaga? Gaiwaga show there. Did you next pronounce it? Gaiwaga show there. You guys inspire me with that language. The Lord of Lords. Oh, the Lord of Gaiwaga. Yeah, the Lord of Lords. Amen. Amen. Indeed is the Lord of all Lords. Not in what inspires you. Who is your musical inspiration? We'll see what you look up to. But locally international you can just mention it. Okay. I think locally I would have to say Eunice. I've always loved her music. I love her ministration. It goes beyond music. I love her ministry. And of course there's a whole lot of others. Gloria Muliro, Ruben Kigam. All people who I actually love the administration. Internationally of course that would have to be people like Tasha Calls, people like Travis Greene, Sinach. I mean I listen to a whole lot of music and even other new artists coming up and you just listen to their music and you're like wow. There is a new artist but wow is full of the spirit of God. So any artist who actually plugs into the Holy Spirit and sings a spirit-led song, I'm in. I'm tuned. So we expect more from you. Oh yeah. We expect more? Definitely. So maybe you can mention your social media handles. Yes, and your YouTube channel, where you guys can find your music and all that. The covers will be found under Edith Wairimo or PCA Motoyne. We don't exactly do covers. We just do ministration. We would like to reach the people who are not able, you know like at this time people are not able to go to church. So we're just allowing people to worship with us, praise with us and you will find that under PCA Motoyne. But for my own original songs, you will find them under the YouTube handle Edith Wairimo. My Instagram handle is Edith Wairimo, my Edith Wairimo Kenya and my Facebook page is Edith Wairimo Kenya. So follow all these platforms and you'll actually be able to not only get in touch with my music but also with me as a person and get to know who I am. Wow. And I'm so curious.  Because I see you really minister a lot. How do you prepare, just the preparation in which can actually encourage those watching us? Surround yourself with a team that actually ministers. Don't surround yourself with people who look for glory because they're going to bring you down to their level. When you surround yourself with ministers, even the time when you've not had the opportunity to pray, they will cover you. But one of the things that we do before ministration is that we do pray and we also practice and we take some time to develop a level of excellence to the best of our ability. But the best thing is to actually work with people who know what they are doing and why they are doing it. Wow. Yes. Final comments to a worshiper as a finalized interview. I know. I just love the way she keeps on preaching every question I ask her. So it is a final comment. Final question. Final YouTube channel. When kicking off your ministry or worship ministry in campus, also as you finish that one word to college guys, campus guys, who most of the time, whether it's campus, school life, school life, like the hostels, they don't have to attend the services when I say manga. I know how people relate with campus, Christian unions and such. So one word also to those people, college guys and campus people. So I understand now. Okay. Paul writes and says, you say that you know God and you fear Him. Good. Because even the demons, they know God and they tremble. So it means that it's not special to know God and to fear Him. But what will actually take you to heaven is the way.  And so one last word for anyone who is listening to me.  That is the first thing you need to know. The Christ is actually coming soon. So put yourself in a position that you're actually doing what you're supposed to do. The greatest, what is worse than a man dying is a man living through his whole life without ever accomplishing his purpose. So position yourself in a place of purpose. And purpose is never outside of the will of God. So connect yourself to the Holy Ghost, put yourself in a position of prayer and begin to accomplish your purpose in all that you do. And I'm so blessed to be here. I'm so blessed to be here. Thank you so much for coming. Thank you so much for having me. Thank you so much for coming. That was Edith Waeremo, the lovely Edith here.

Okay. Good morning. Welcome, everyone. I know this is our third hour, third lecture together. Hope you're not getting bored hearing the same voice for three hours. I don't know. People are still connecting to the class. Okay. Right. So, welcome to BC 205 Keys to Supernatural Ministry class. And good morning, everyone. Let's just begin with Brad. Now, I have started the recording of this class. So, everything here is going to be recorded and the students can listen to it, both in the Google classroom and also in our e-learning portal. Right. So, let's pray. Let's get started. Somebody could lead us in prayer and we'll get started. Anybody, please? Thank you and we'll bless your name.  We thank you for another time. We thank you for another moment to study your word. And we pray, Holy Spirit, that you open our minds and you open our ears to understand and to hear what you want to say to us this morning, this afternoon, this evening. We ask the God that the servant that you have prepared to teach us this day that you are filling God with words from the Toronto Grace. As we hear your word, we hear to life and we hear our God to win souls and we hear our God to supernatural greatness. We thank you that at the end of this class, all glory and honor, we are subscribed onto you alone. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen. Thank you, Harrison. Thank you. Welcome again everyone to this course on Keys to Supernatural Ministry. I have made the course overview, the course, overview of the course available to us in the class work section. I'm just going to review that. So let me just take a moment to share my screen and we will look at that. Just quickly we'll look at the course overview. So what are we trying to do in this course? What is the journey we're going to make? So this Keys to Supernatural Ministry be, you know, one of the things we do in the Bible college regularly is to take a look at our curriculum and see what needs to be changed, what needs to be upgraded, other areas that we want to, you know, we feel that we're not addressing. The whole goal is to equip people for ministry and other areas that we need to address. And so I think maybe two, maybe three years ago, just recently we introduced this course Keys to Supernatural Ministry. The idea was one is we wanted to place the emphasis on the supernatural as we journey through the three years of learning. But we also wanted something that will bring together different things that we are learning and show us how to put them together in order to manifest supernatural ministry. So, you know, in the first year you would have learned about bread intercession, you would have learned about believers authority, about our identity in Christ, and then you learn about, in second year, as you continue on, you're learning about healing and deliverance, you're learning on the Holy Spirit, the gifts of the Spirit, you're learning what inner wholeness. And so we are learning on all of these different themes or topics, but then how do we bring them all together in order to see the supernatural being released through us? So we felt that was lacking, you know, as we saw students going through the college, we felt that, yeah, we're giving them all this, but we're not showing them here, how do you bring all this together in your life, in your ministry, in a practical way, as you're ministering to people, whether you're doing it one-on-one or whether you're doing it in a congregational setting or in a small group setting, in how do you bring all this together? So that's why we felt the need to introduce this course, it's only once a week, but the goal is to show us how to bring all these things that we are learning and how to practically use them or apply them in order to see the manifestations of healings and miracles and so on. So it's more of a very practical course, now bringing fruits together and how do you use it in order to minister to people. So we want to emphasize on that aspect as we journey through this course. And just to give you a heads up, you know, next semester, as part of this academic year, next semester, I'll give you changing a curriculum. We're introducing two new courses. One is on an entire course on holiness. That'll happen next, you know, you will be the first batch that will go through that course on holiness. And there's also a new course we're introducing next semester on developing the human spirit. Again, it's a new course and you will be the first batch going through that course next semester. And so, you know, we are constantly introducing something new, but we don't want to lose the content. So the courses that these are replacing, that content is already, you know, is being moved into other courses. So we're not losing overall content. We're just enriching what we're doing. And, you know, we're addressing areas where we feel like, you know, we really need to develop people in these areas. So that's happening this academic year. And, you know, you're going to be the batch, the second year, current second year batch will be the first to experience those courses. Anyway, just to know what we're going to cover in the course, the way we've structured this course is we look at four sections. The first has to do with the possibility. Again, just to awaken our understanding that the supernatural is something that is to be natural in our lives. The possibility now for us to walk in that, expect that, desire that, you know, and that it should just be normal for every believer to manifest science, wondrous miracles, to manifest supernatural. In section two, we're going to talk about the keys. That means there are keys. God has shown us in his word that, look, this is how, you know, you can make the spiritual impact the natural. So where the spiritual impacts the natural, we call it supernatural. But it's just normal of the spiritual impacting the natural. So what are the keys that I can use or I can, you know, exercise to cause the spiritual to affect the natural. And when that happens, supernatural takes place. So we're going to go through those keys. And these would be things that you already are aware of, because, you know, these are truths you have studied or you will be studying in the second year. So these are truths that you are aware of. But then what we need to do is we need to bring it into, okay, how do I use it? How do I make it happen in my life? Right? So that's section two. And then in section three, we want to talk about personal preparation. You know, what can I do personally to be a vessel that God works through supernaturally? Because there are, we see in scripture, there are certain things God tells us to do to position ourselves as vessels. Or if you want to use the word channels, you know, that we can be instruments through which the supernatural manifests. So there are things that we can do. And we should believe God to do that. And lastly, there is the pursuit. That means we are on a journey. The church hasn't reached its full state. So we are all part of the church and we are moving from glory to glory. There are greater levels of glory. There are greater works that we must move into. So how do we keep on in this journey? You know, the journey is not going to be easy. We will face some setbacks. We will experience some hardships or delays and things like that. But we must continue on the journey. And so that section four is just to give us a little you know, a little encouragement to keep on this journey and don't quit just because we don't see things happen immediately. The assessments will be simple. We'll just have three simple assessments as we go along based on things we are learning. You're all aware of the grading scheme. We will give you the notes as we go along. We will write it out and post it on the course classwork section. And we will reference some of our other books that you're familiar with The Gifts of the Holy Spirit, Minister of Healing and Deliverance. You know, we will reference some of the content from those books as we go along. All right. So today I want to what I thought was instead of diving straight into the content I want to just ask some basic questions. Two questions I want us to ask. I want us to discuss. The first question is why supernatural ministry? And second is, you know, how do we respond to common objections to supernatural ministry? So let me stop sharing. Let me look at all of you. Okay. All right. So question. So before we kind of dive into this whole content and just start talking about practical things on some, you know, on keys to the supernatural. First question, and this is just open. This is for all of us to discuss, right?   So we are living in this time and age when things are so advanced in technology and science and so many fields. We have all these resources available. We have all this knowledge available to us. And here we are talking about supernatural. I mean, some people think they're crazy. I mean, don't you aren't you aware of the times in which you're living in? Why should we even discuss this? Why should we even, you know, especially the church? You know, I'm not talking just about us as individuals as a church, as a body of believers. Why should we, you know, be equipped in the supernatural? Why the supernatural? I want to just hear, you know, just feel free to share your thoughts. Today is just going to be some discussion. So we orient our minds towards what we are going to be studying. So why the supernatural? What are your thoughts? Samuel, you put your hand up. Hi, Master. So I think the immediate answer that I can think of is from our previous class that we were doing, which is apologia or our defense of our fate and our explanation of our fate, backed up with works. So not just words, not just empty reasoning, but the science wonders and miracles. Because where reasoning stops working is where our science wonders and miracles will do our apology. So that's one thing that I think of. Yeah. So to present the defense of the gospel, not just in word, but also in works, in the power of God, I see other things in the chat. Subhijit says, to my office, God's glory. So people know him for who he is. I see Rose's comment to demonstrate the kingdom of God so that a button to do what human technology cannot do. Only the supernatural intervention of God can do it. Siddhant has shared the power of God is about everything and we need the power to make a change so that, you know, I guess you're saying that God's power is much greater than everything and that will bring about a change. Okay. Felix is sharing the gospel, not only word, but demonstrate the power of God. Yeah. So we not only bring the word, but we also demonstrate. Good. Dinesh, you want to say something? Yes, but old and nice. People believed, not all listen to God preaching, but when God did a miraculous wonders, people believed. In this 21st century also, likewise, we are head of technologies, robots, many medicines. Okay. Likewise, myself, I would consider post operation, post successful. I started ministering, testing, sharing my testimony. And all of a sudden, my second operation during September, God allowed me just for a reason. Later, I know. So God, all the people walked mocked against God. This God, you said God record. You are saying God record cancer. Why did God did it again? Where is God? God. I told God is dust. Everything was good. Likewise, God gave me a chance in the operation to pray while I requested doctors to pray while before performing operation in the operation later. While I was praying, finished praying, Anishinaa doctor came to me, your prayer just comforted me. Likewise, you can pray for my family undergoing stress. I prayed in the family for children, friends, family members, elders. Likewise, I prayed. My Holy Spirit told me to pray for the peace and the financial crisis they were facing. I prayed. Likewise, Jesus does good for everything. Because the second operation would have done for me, God even soul would have given a chance to pray for doctors. They imagine their very well into scientific medical but peace, the urge, thirst for God. So after some time I met the doctor. The doctor said, I can't believe now there is peace and God also financially blessed. Could you help me to tell me more about your God? That way I got a chance to pray on the medical staffs. God was re-utilizing me. So God may, people may walk around but God, our living God, testifies even though it's a second time. But God does for good. Thank you, Dinesh, for sharing that. Even during your second surgery, God used you to influence, to impact the anesthesiologist. The doctor was part of the team and that you were able to minister to them. Thank you for sharing and just speak continued healing, complete recovery for you and the fulfilling of God's plans for your life. And thanks for being part of this Bible College, attending the classes with us and preparing for the future with expectation. Thank you for doing that. So I'm just looking at the comments that have come in here on the chat. So we read Roses, we read Sudans, Felix. Salomi says, do you know God's plan? Do you know what God's plan is? And for him to do his work through us. I wish that the church needs a supernatural. And he says, we call it a multi-plan, be fruitful. So there must be the supernatural because the same spirit that raised Jesus is in us. Agni says, the preaching is not with man's wisdom. That's what's going through two, four demonstrations of spirit and power. Rupa says, bring heaven down to earth. Christ operating in authority through his church. Abraham, the gospel is good news. Healing the sick. Quite the supernatural. Radima shares supernatural display. God's manifestation of power Jesus. God's word coming to life. Agni, Matthew 10, 7, 8. Analysts exercise authority. Well, lots of comments here. One of her says, look, signs, wonders. Yes. Thank you. And, and, and, okay. So, all right. So that's question was. Pastor, can I just add a little bit? Sure, go ahead. Um, first, I just feel like the supernatural, the miracles that happen also reveal the nature of God as much as the power of God is in demonstration. The power of God is in demonstration. Uh, uh, like, you know, because of the nature of God, that he is almighty in his power, but also it reveals his love for the people and his nature of compassion. Because we see the miracles what Jesus was doing. The Bible also says that, um, he was moved with compassion when he saw those people. Like when, when the widow woman's son was dead. And when the, when many of the people, they were sick and they had come to him for, uh, the healing, the demonstration of God's powers there, but it also the supernatural, uh, miracles that took place was revealing his love for them that he was moved with compassion and that he was like, you know, his love was being revealed there. And, and that he, he's also trying to, he's also connecting with the people saying that I'm a God, not just I'm almighty and powerful, but I'm also a God of love. I'm a God of compassion. I am healer. I'm also provided when we see the miracles where he's looking at the people who are hungry, like, you know, and he does the miracle of multiplying the, uh, the bread and the fish. He's, he doesn't send them off hungry, but then he feeds them. And in these miracles, as much as we see the power of God in demonstration, we also see the nature of God, that how he is a God of love and a God of compassion and he really cares for us and he wants to relate with us. So I feel in the supernatural, this, uh, aspect of his nature is also being revealed faster. Right. Thank you. Thank you. So really the, the miracles, the science, the wonders, the works that God does reveals the nature of God, his compassion, his love, and just various aspects of his nature as provider, healer, deliverer, and so on. So the miracles reveal. So we are answering, are we discussing, you know, just as an introduction to this course right now, this first hour, we are discussing two questions. One is the first question, which we are discussing right now is why the supernatural, given the time and the day in which we live, why the supernatural, right? So I'm just looking at all your responses to that. I see, you know, Beth's question there. Why is there this big gap between the theology, what we are, you know, theologically and practically. And I take the answer to that is, you know, Beth is because the Lord is taking the church from where it is to where it should be. Right. So we know, if you look at the history of the church, we know that, you know, the church actually went into a dark time period called the Dark Ages for a thousand years. Basically, there was nothing there. So spiritually, the church was dead, not even the basic truth of salvation by grace. And this was just 500 years ago. So in 500 years, the church has come a long way. It's come from being completely spiritually dead to where it is today. So I think amazing things have happened to 500, the last 500 years. But then we are not where we should be. We are still on that journey. And God is taking us to that place, you know, where the church will manifest even greater measures of power. But we are on that journey. We're in that trajectory, you know, sort of speak. So we are on the right trajectory. We are making the journey, but it is us, this generation, just like Martin Luther did his day, just to bring a simple basic truth. Salvation by grace. Or the next journey through the history of the church and different ones stood up in their day and time to take the church a few levels higher in glory, where it should be, you know, whether it's just the restoration of the truth of sanctification or the restoration of the truth of divine healing. You know, church didn't even know that divine healing was there, but to bring that truth back to the body of Christ, it was there in the Bible. So each generation did their part to take the church to the next level of glory. And today you and I here, 500 years from the time of the Reformation, and God is calling you and me to take the church to several levels higher in glory, which he wants the church to be, you know. So Jesus is coming back for a church that is glory. Yes, meaning full of glory. That's the church is coming back. And you and I have the opportunity to make that journey a little bit more. You know, so, yes, we are here, but we need to go up here. And the way God works is before it happens, always there is truth proclaimed. The truth is proclaimed that this can happen. You know, just like how John the Baptist came saying, the kingdom of heaven is here. So he proclaimed the truth first, then Jesus came and said, come into the kingdom, right? So that's the journey. First truth has to be proclaimed so that people believe it and then people make the journey into it, right? So that's the journey we are making. That's why we do see the truth being proclaimed always higher than the level of the practical experience. It is always that way so that the level of practical experience comes up to the level of truth that's being proclaimed. But God is taking us to become a glorious church. And that's exciting to know and to know that we are here to make that part of our journey happen. Christopher, your question, or you want to comment on that? Yes. This is actually in answer to that question of why supernatural ministry. So I think this is probably a little more of a personal kind of answer. So the short answer really for me is that, you know, there is a supernatural ministry or rather, sorry, there is a supernatural. And, you know, there is good happening there. There's also evil that's happening over there. And it's something that, you know, one has to, you know, be aware of and also, you know, work within the good side of the supernatural. Why I say personal? Because I mean, I'm just looking back at, you know, prior to coming back to, prior to coming to APC church, I was, you know, I was, you know, a Catholic and with my limited knowledge of the Bible, I think my view of the supernatural was really more about, you know, what the evil one was doing in the supernatural and not really sort of focusing on, you know, what I, as a Christian could do in the supernatural or could, you know, be able to, you know, achieve there. And because it was a little more focused on, you know, the evil side of things, I was not really recognizing the fact that, you know, I didn't want to really spend too much time, you know, thinking about supernatural.  And because it is there and because there is, you know, there are things that, you know, that are possible to be done in the supernatural, I think it's a great opportunity for, you know, all believers to operate in that realm of, you know, of ministry. All right. Thank you. Thank you for sharing. All right. So, you know, we are discussing. Thank you. So what we're trying to answer is, you know, why should we, as believers, be interested in seeing the manifestation of the supernatural? And we've had a lot of people share their responses on the chat and in the call, you know, that really this is a way for us to reveal God, to manifest God, to manifest his glory, to impact the world. Of course, it also, in the process, our own needs get met, you know, when we're science and technology cannot help us. God steps in, works the supernatural in our lives, in the lives of people we know, and real needs of real people are met. And lives are changed. People are healed. People are delivered. Situations are transformed. And so all those things which cannot be done naturally begins to happen, right? So all of these reasons are out there. Very quickly, I'm not going to explain this, but you have studied, I think you are going through, or you would have gone through this book on ministering, healing and deliverance. And there we kind of, you know, list out several reasons on why, you know, we must minister in the supernatural and just look at that very quickly. You know, they reveal the nature, the reality, nature of God, they reveal God's greatness, they demonstrate God's compassion. They have a powerful effect on people, especially the unbelievers. Then Jesus himself gave importance to miracles because the kingdom comes with power. The gospel has to be preached with accompanying signs and it encourages us to believe for more of the supernatural. I think all these reasons were mentioned there on the chat. I want to, you know, just go into, and the next question that was just for us to discuss, which is, how do we respond to objections to the supernatural, especially from within the church? This is sad, but true, that not everybody in the church community, and I say church community means church at large, are excited about the supernatural. In fact, when they, you know, they hear us talking about things like keys to the supernatural and, you know, that we believe in signs and bundles and so on, they will raise a lot of objections, you know, and a lot of accusations and so on. So how do we respond to, I mean, what could be some of these objections and how do we respond to some of these objections, you know, that come to us from within the church community? Right? So we're not talking about people from outside the church. You know, we're talking about from within the church community, because one of the things that, you know, we are going to learn in this course on the keys to supernatural, I'm going to share with you practical things. Now we are going to learn these practical things, and then as we start doing it, you've got to be prepared that not everybody in the church is going to, you know, come along and pat you in the back and say, hey, that's wonderful. There are going to be some objections you and I are going to face. And so it's better to, you know, just be ready and also be able to give some response in a loving way to these objections. You know, for example, I just throw out some questions or maybe, you know, rather than me doing it. You know, what are some of the objections we may face from the church community towards the supernatural? So you and I are going to learn keys to the supernatural, but we're going to face objections. What can we anticipate? What are some of the objections you may have already faced? And how do we respond to it? Let's just discuss that before we go. Okay, go ahead, Samuel. So from the church community itself, and not even from outside, so I have, so one strong argument that I've encountered is the supernatural, especially supernatural, was during the apostolic times before we didn't have the Bible in place. So there was no Bible, no scriptures. So Peter, all the apostles, when they were establishing the church, they needed divine backup. So as to say, because they didn't have the word of God, otherwise people would not listen to them. They would not have gathered them so that strong movement would not have happened. But now with the coming of the word of God, everything that we do would be from the word of God. And that's all that we need to proclaim or to carry on with the Great Commission. So it's seized in a way, signs, wonders and miracles have seized. And that's why we don't see so many of signs, wonders and miracles. These days as opposed to what has been recorded during the apostate time. So that's a strong argument that I've faced. True, true. This is a very common objection to the supernatural. And we're talking about this coming from within the church itself. So we're not saying, you know, it's not the non-Christian raising this. It's from within the church. And so how do we respond to this when people say, well, we don't need it today, only the apostles needed it. We have the Bible, it's enough. What kind of response do we give? Okay, so Rose says, God is spirit. He's supernatural and he hasn't changed through time. Right. He's the same. He hasn't changed. And that's a valid response. God hasn't changed. I've changed. But the God of the Bible is to the God of today. So there's no indication he lost his power. No indication he lost his nature. He's still the healer. He's still the deliverer. That's very good. What else can we say? How does that hand up? Is it a question or would you want to respond to Samuel? Yeah, I want to respond to the discussion. It is very important for us to know who we are in Christ and know what we're carrying. Because when this objection comes, it is one thing that can throw us off balance. And I can tell that in those moments, it can be very difficult. But when you know the God yourself, it will be very difficult to do from you to drift away even from the calling or from your assignment with God. And this thing is a practical example that I've experienced and it is tough. Because it is very easy for us to discuss about this, but looking at the reality, how do we really deal with it? And one thing I can tell myself right now that I know that I've done is to stay focused, you know, with, by belief, you know, as in the belief that God has called me into this ministry, God has called me into what I am doing.  But it is very important to know the God we serve, you know, we know what we carry in the inside of us and keep the focus and belief that no matter what, you know, we are going through, God is in it. And the only thing I do say is that give everything time, you know, with time, the truth, you know, will prevail. So as we keep the focus, we give it time and everything will come to pass. Thank you, Harrison, for sharing. Thank you. So Abraham, you want to respond to the question? No, I have an objection that came to me personally. So can I share or I should wait after the response before I come in? Okay, maybe you share your question and people can respond to both these objections. Go ahead, share what you have experienced, the objection that you faced. So I think that people believe in technology than the power of God. And I had this experience one day that somebody that I was looking up to and he told me that if somebody is in the city and a person is sick, you take a person to go to the hospital. But those in the villages, because there's no hospitals and other things, we teach them to practice their faith.  Or maybe miracles is for those in the villages and miracles are not for those in the city. So this is a personal life that I had, a personal encounter that I had with my leader. I couldn't respond, I just kept quiet. So I don't know the answer up to now. So it's like people believe in technology than the power of God. So that is my own experience I had first. So the second objection I think, and I'm trying to rephrase what Abrams said is, especially given the times in which we live, of course we do have medicine. We have hospitals, doctors, technology, et cetera. We're not against using our minds, using the knowledge and the resources God has given to us. But then how do we also expect the supernatural, right? How do we balance the two? Or is it just that, is it like you know, we said, well, you don't need the supernatural because we have the scientific. And I think that we were addressed earlier that there are things that the scientific cannot do and we need the supernatural. But how do we balance it? How do we have this whole these two together, the science and the faith, right? We will, that's perhaps out of that the objection comes and we need to know how to respond to that. So we will talk about that and I think it's in chapter three or four, I forget, science and faith. We will address that in a little greater depth. Yeah, so if you want to share responses to this, how do we respond to the first objection which is, you know, God suddenly stopped doing the supernatural because the Bible came on the scene and the church moved past the apostolic age or the initial years. What can we say? So one is we can say God hasn't changed, times have changed. Second, we can point to the promises in scripture about believers. Jesus said, those who believe will do the works he did. In John 14-12, we know that scripture, those believe he did, you know, we'll do it. So we, yeah, that's good. So from the scriptures we point to this, there is in the scripture that today the Holy Spirit is at work in the church. You know, he's still the same and the Holy Spirit hasn't left the church. The same Holy Spirit was working in the, through the, you know, in Jerusalem, through the church in Jerusalem, still working today through his church. Times have changed, same Holy Spirit is working. The gifts of the Spirit are for today. Nowhere in scripture does it say the gifts of the Spirit have been taken out, you know. So we point to scriptures to indicate that God is still at work today, right? And that he's coming for a glorious church. If God always, you know, if you look at the way God works, he always finishes better than he begins. The beginning is only a start. The ending is much greater. The glory of the latter is always greater than that of the former. So if the church that he's coming back for is a glorious church, it's got to be much more glorious than what we started with in Jerusalem, right? So we're coming for a church that is going to be even more powerful, manifesting even greater miracles. And so we're journeying into that, right? And so the Bible is important. We're not disregarding the Bible, but we're saying the Bible is telling us Holy Spirit is still at work, right? And in response to what Abraham said, you know, we are not against science. We're not against hospitals. We make use of those resources. We thank God for it. But it's not an option that I disregard my faith. Now, you know, when I'm using medicine, I still have faith in God because ultimately healing, my healing will come from God or healing comes from God, right? So whether you're in the city or in the village, we pray, pray the same way. We use the same word. Our faith is in the same God. Now, if you have access to medical care, make use of it. There's nothing wrong with that. But our dependence is on God and on his word. That's the way we approach it. So we don't, you know, we don't say, well, you know, you don't need faith if you're in the city. No, in the city, all the more you need greater faith if you're in the city, because while there is the availability of medicine and all of that, and we can use it, we need to keep our eyes intentionally on God and say, God, ultimately you are my healer, not these things. So it takes, maybe I would say it takes greater faith in the city than in the village, because you really have to take your eyes off of the things and look to God in the city, right? Okay. So today was just, you know, just a little discussion to get us going. But when we come back next week in this course, we're going to get into, like I give the outline, we're going to start off first of all by saying the possibility of the supernatural, why every believer can expect the supernatural in and through their life. So we cover some things on that. Then we get into talking about the keys to the supernatural. What are the things God has given to us that will cause the spiritual to impact the natural in our world and also when we minister to people. So we look at things from both perspectives, how to have the supernatural work in our lives and also when we minister to people. What are those keys? So use it for yourself and then use it for others. Thirdly, we'll talk about personal preparation. What can I do to prepare myself to be a channel or an instrument for the supernatural? And lastly, we'll talk about pursuing God for the supernatural. And I just want to close with this little testimony. I think we have two minutes here. And forgive me if some of you have already heard this testimony, some of you recent weeks. But towards the end of last year, not last year, last semester in April, we had the second wave hit many parts of the world and hit very hard in India. Very abruptly we had to, we wrapped up the college and we had to shift focus to take care of people. There were people within our church community and just all around India. People are affected tremendously, especially the month of May because of the second wave of COVID. And so around that time, actually it was end of April, May, the big question was what should we do as a church in response to this? And the early part of May, on the fifth of May, I felt I should just call for a meeting of pastors in our city, that's Bangalore, and just have an open discussion and know what should pastors, what should the churches do, what should we do to help people in the middle of this second COVID wave. So on May 5th, which was on Wednesday, we called for a pastors meeting. Of course it was online and about 70 people attended that call, pastors and Christian leaders or even leaders of Christian organizations. We attended the call. There was a lot of discussion. People were talking about buying oxygen cylinders or providing oxygen supply for people. A lot of ideas were being thrown around, saying these are things we can do to help people, primarily church people, so on during this time. Now, so the meeting was over. We did not come to any conclusion. We didn't arrive at a decision. So that day, especially that night I was praying, I said, God, we need to do something. So there were two questions. What should we do and how should we do it? So it really kind of kept me awake through the better part of that night, that day, that night, just asking God, what to do, how to do it? What to do, how to do it? I know something has to be done, but what to do, how to do it? And a lot of things are going through my mind because one is, we are working with pastors across many churches. So whatever we do has to be done in a very honorable way. We shouldn't offend any pastor or any church. So that was one big concern in my mind. Secondly, I also knew the challenge. If we are trying to form something in the city, that will take time because I have worked in the city with pastors over the years. And we know that if you're trying to put together a forum or an organization, that will take months to happen. But we need to act really quickly. People are suffering through that moment. So that was another thing going through my mind. And just praying and saying, God, I know if we, that is APC as a church can do it, we can start work right away because we have everything in place. So that would be the best way to go about it. But how do we do it in an honorable way? We don't offend anybody, but that night is praying. And when I woke up that morning, that's the morning of the 6th of May, everything was very clear. It was almost like I had a very clear plan and how to go about doing it. The first thing was to email about eight of the leaders, the main leaders, explain to them, these are the six things we are going to do. And we're going to be asked them for permission for us as a church to execute it on behalf of the body of Christ. That means it's not something we will do in isolation. We will execute the entire thing on behalf of the body of Christ. So I just sent an email to these people and they were very supportive. Everyone came back to us, these are the six things I explained we're going to do. So then I called the church staff. I said, church, we're going to do this, but everybody has to, we have to go into action quickly now. We have to work on these things. So the IT team got together, everybody got together. I also got approved from the trustees and we set aside to start with an Indian currency. It's 50 lakhs, which is five million rupees. We set it aside. We said, we're going to start off with this. And so we got our, you know, web page up everything and we sent out an email. So we got everything ready, the backend system to handle the request or a thing. And we launched within, you know, we got approval on sixth by 12th of maybe a launch within six days over the weekend, people worked. The IT team was working throughout and we launched and we just sent out an invitation saying, you know, if you have a need reach out to us, you will do our best to help you in these six areas. And we had only five million rupees set aside. You know, but I remember sharing with our team. I said, look, this is, we're believing God, that if God multiplied five loaves and two fish, if Jesus multiplied five loaves and two fish to take out the people in the Bible, he will multiply this money to meet the needs of his people. You know, now in two weeks, we got over 8,000 requests coming from all over India. You know, people reached out.  Like, you know, we really needed like about, you know, we call it four crores in India, which is about 40 million rupees almost. You know, it's like eight times what we had. But I remember sharing with the team. I said, you know, God will multiply five loaves to a fish and we're going to reach out. We're going to reach out. We want to send money, but of course we're going to verify the request. You know, we don't want to waste money. You're going to verify everything. And so, you know, so that's how the journey started. And to, you know, we just closed the project on the 28th of July. We processed the request, verified it, and to just show you, you know, we started the five million. We gave away 37.7 million or 3.77 crores in Indian rupees, 37.7 million rupees. We gave away in the last two and a half months to all these people. And it was just amazing. Some money, but this money just kept coming. And we were just a conduit to give to people, right? But what I want to highlight is, for us personally, this is a miracle. Because at one point it was very scary. It was scary because we had 8,000 requests. How are we going to process it? And if you do the calculation, you know, I just did a, like a 30%, even if 30% of these are genuine requests and we send money, it's going to mean 40 million rupees. We only have 5 million. How are we going to do this? But when you look back at the end of the two and a half months, you know, 37.7 million or 3.77 crores just flowed through us. And it reached to the people. So for me personally, and I'm sure for the team that worked on this, it's a modern day multiplication of five loaves into a fish. It just happened in a different way. It wasn't literal loaves into a fish. It was Indian currency. But this was God at work, you know. So it may not seem very spectacular. Everybody was working hard, you know, processing those requests, making the calls, speaking to people all across the country. But for us, it's a miracle. You know, I just looked at God and I say, God, I'm just thankful you gave us this opportunity to be a part of this, you know, that we could help more than 1,500 pastors. And, you know, we have the data outside. I can't remember the numbers. But, you know, God, you helped us do this and we're grateful. We started with something small. We started out in faith, but God did the miracle. So does God work financial miracles? Answers, yes. He does it today. He just does it differently. It just looks different, but it's still the God, same God working miracles. Amen. So let's close in prayer and we will meet again next week. Continue on this. Sorry for taking a little extra time. Could somebody please close in prayer and we'll dismiss. Okay. Glasses very quiet. I will pray. Go ahead. Heavenly Father, we thank You, Lord, for this morning. And we thank You for the opportunity, Lord, to come together and to learn about Your supernatural way, Lord. The supernatural way You do things, Jesus.  Thank You, Jesus, as we learned this course in power, Pastor Cish Lord, and open our heart, open our mind, and make ready our spirit, Lord, to receive what we learned so that we may go into the world, Lord, and be ambassadors, Lord, be people who not just say Your words, Lord, but also manifest Your glory in power so that the whole world might know that You are God and You're still waking, You're still the same. You never change. Do with us, Lord, as we until we meet again. Amen. Amen, amen. Amen. Thank you, everyone. Thank you. Amen. Being part of the course and being part of the class today.


I've had really an interest in ships my whole life and when I was 14 I saw a tug-book dock at Fel's Point and I was just really struck by the size and power of the vessel and you know that really really intrigued me caught my interest on just you know working on something that was just that big and powerful as I was drawing the ships I had put together a portfolio and so I looked in the magazines and got the addresses of some of the naval architecture firms and shipyards and I was like maybe 18, 19 at the time and one called me in for an interview and it was M. Rosenblatt and son who at that time were the lead naval architects for the DD-963 Spruins class destroyers so they hired me and I was working on the CVV which is a conventional powered aircraft carrier So the challenge for me to encourage minorities and females to have an interest in STEM and also the positive role models of females and minorities that have made contributions to STEM That's really how it started. What I've learned is number one building a ship out of Legos is exactly how modern warships are designed and built today When I was one of the lead designers on the Arleigh Burke class the units went together into modules and when they were all finished they would literally join together so that's a lot like working with Legos So it's not just STEM but it's taking STEM a step further to relate it to the individual For little girls and little boys to say I can be an ammo when I grow up I can be a general, I can be a pilot so it's not just about the formulas and it's not just about experiments in the lab but it's really getting kids to believe in themselves, they themselves, right where they are that they can do it and seeing the biographies of other people who started where they are is an incredible thing


Mae'n pwysig, Polly Penta, a rym ni'n gwasanaeth bod yn Llywodraeth.

I'm 33 now, a long time. I'm originally from the north, but I've been down here 15 years. So I'm an adopted Londoner. Today I've come from central London because I live in London now. I've come from work, so I work right in the middle of central London just by River Thames. I am so excited. I haven't been this excited since Wembley. No, I haven't, no. They're really good. I'm one of those people who at the beginning was a little bit doubtful and I've eaten my words, I've very happily eaten my words because the last few games I've been to with the exception of Yoval, they've been absolutely brilliant and I'm really pleased and they play exciting football which I haven't, you know, which is really great to see. We've got James Hanson and Billy Knox because I'm a massive James Hanson fan, so hopefully Hanson. Having watched the Arsenal game a couple of years ago, I'm going to go for a 1-0 tour as I think we could make a massive, massive... A bold prediction. A massive shot, yeah, why not?


People often ask me, why should we care about coral reefs? Corals build one of the most important ecosystems in the ocean. They are animals, but they look like rocks because they make a skeleton underneath themselves and they leave it behind as they grow up toward the sun. And then that creates homes for sponges and clams and snails. And those smaller organisms are what feed the bigger fish and the bigger fish.  People often don't realize that they help protect the shorelines from waves, from big storms and from hurricanes. We know that corals can live for a long time, but what's particularly interesting about that is that they're living in the blazing hot sun near the equator for hundreds and hundreds of years. So now scientists are looking into how a coral manages to repair its DNA when it's sitting in the blazing sun for decades and decades. And hopefully we can understand how to prevent the mutations that eventually lead to cancer in humans. Corals live with algae in their tissues. It would be as if you had lettuce growing under your skin and you were able to use the calories that that lettuce was making without eating any food. When a coral bleaches, the balance between that algae and that host coral sometimes goes off. The coral spits out those symbiotic partners and it's very difficult for them to survive because they've lost their main source of food. Unfortunately, anywhere you have humans, corals tend to suffer. And that's because all the activities that we do on land, things like building, things like discharging sewage, things like agriculture, those all affect the ocean. A country that's doing a very strong job of conservation is Palau. They saw a massive coral bleaching event in 1998 and realized that they were at risk from the changes occurring globally. So they started putting in place fisheries, regulations, a marine park. They eventually put in a shark sanctuary. Now they have 80% of their water protected from any kind of fishing or mining. What we know now is that the sort of days of hoping and wishing for those coral reefs to survive is over. This treasure will help us get through the next era of development as long as we're just kind enough and wise enough to be sure that they all come along together with us into the future safely and protected.


If you are an organizer and you want to have a global footprint, rather than having to create, you know, 50 or 100 different locations, you can have a global footprint with an online event. What's up, everybody, and welcome to the show today. We drop great content each and every week, and we want to make sure that you guys get notified. And in order to do that, you're going to have to smash that subscribe button and hit that notification bell. And if you've gotten a lot of value out of this, make sure you give us a like and share our videos with your friends.  Yeah, OK. So first of all, we always say we use technology to get people off of technology. And if there's no better use of technology than to actually get people off of technology, I don't know what there is. And the reality is, it's so important, as you know, not just from an entrepreneurship and from a kind of building business and networking perspective, but just from even a human perspective. The loneliness epidemic that exists out there in the world is just kind of terrifying. You know, 46 percent of people who are serving before the pandemic said that they regularly feel lonely. 46 percent and 25 percent of people, one to four people don't have one trusted confidant. And it's among Gen Zers, by the way, it's like 66 percent of people regularly feel lonely. College students during the pandemic, it's just it's terrifying. So from a business perspective, it's awesome, obviously, as you both know and have experienced, and also just from a personal perspective. OK, to answer your question, on my story, so I was a early employee at DoubleClick, so I got started in the Internet days at like 23, 24 years old. And the reason why that's kind of relevant is because from it, you might appreciate this in terms of thinking about relationships. The person who hired me at DoubleClick was a leader named Kevin Ryan, who was the founder of MongoDB, Guilt, Business Insider, Zola and like 15 other companies. And he is the person that 20 plus years later, I got to acquire Meetup out of WeWork. That's a big fast forward. And we kept in touch throughout and he was my mentor throughout. So relationships matter to put it lightly. To give you a fill in that gap a little bit. After DoubleClick, I went to business school, I worked for a bunch of publishers, 100 flowers and everyday health. And then I became the president of Seeking Alpha. After that, the the CEO of Investopedia. And I love I love finance because I believed that people make poor financial decisions and that the mission of helping to educate people around finance meant a lot. At one point, the largest investor in Seeking Alpha came over to me and his name is Michael Eisenberg and he runs a big, big fund. He was an investor in Seattle and he was on the board of WeWork. And he said, David, what do you think of Meetup? And I said, like Meetup has changed. So I go to Meetup events all the time. I go there for networking purposes, go there and meet amazing people. Like Meetup has changed like millions of people's lives. I love Meetup. Like I'm obsessed with Meetup. I'm obsessed with like interpersonal connections and helping people to lead more meaningful lives and lead more meaningful lives by getting together in person with people. Right. So he said, okay, that's good because we want you to become the next CEO. But I'm like, well, they already have a CEO. They're founders. Scott Hyperman. He's been the CEO and founder for like 17 years. Like, yeah, well, so after WeWork acquired Meetup, there was a decision to look for a new CEO. And 27 interviews later, I was hired. So I've been with the company for two and a half years, the only second CEO in Meetup's history. Best job I've ever had by far, predominantly because I really feel like I make a major difference in people's lives and make the world a better place. And and that's, you know, super important to me. Johnny and I can attest to that. And many of our clients who've moved towns or starting over socially, we've highly recommended because let's be honest, if there's a shared interest or a shared reason that you're in the room, connection magically happens a lot easier. So if you're struggling a bit with social anxiety, you're new to a town or an industry, and you're starting over, it's a great opportunity to get like-minded people in a room together who are open to connection, versus trolling random events or bars or opportunities where we're not gathering for those specific reasons. We drop great content each and every week and we want to make sure that you guys get notified and in order to do that, you're going to have to smash that subscribe button and hit that notification bell. And if you've gotten a lot of value out of this, make sure you give us a like and share our videos with your friends. Now, of course you have been CEO and leader of Meetup through a pandemic where meeting up in person is not really possible. And of course with a goal of using technology to get people off of technology, I doubt Meetup went in thinking that virtual events would be an opportunity for you to explore with its core ethos being bringing people together. So let's talk a little bit about what's changed about Meetup through this pandemic experience that none of us had really planned for. Yeah, so there's a saying, never fail to take advantage of, you know, a potential crisis or a challenge. And there were so many opportunities that in certain ways have truly helped Meetup to provide a better experience for its members and organizers that we were too scared to do in the past. So very specifically, the number one reason why we refuse to bring on organizers in the past was because they said we want to create virtual Meetup events. And we said, well, we're an IRL only platform. And we turned down no joke, tens of thousands of organizers because they wanted to create events that were virtual in nature with Zoom or whatever the Skype before that, you know, and have people all around the world. And we said, no, no, no, we don't do that. Well, in late February, we started seeing China, you know, the events and the RSVPs in China like go off a cliff. Like I'm not saying like 30 or 40 percent, I'm talking like 90 percent down. And suddenly like Italy 90 percent down. And we're like, oh, that's never going to happen in the US. Like it's going to be like, you know, swine flu or SARS, which is horrible, horrible devastating, but didn't really impact the US in any meaningful way. Obviously we're wrong. We were we were one of our employees was the first case of of of COVID and Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. And we actually, you know, ironically, Meetup was one of the first companies to have to leave their their their office space in a WeWork, no less. I'm like March 2nd or March 3rd super early. And we're like, OK, what do we do? So we gathered everyone together and we said, change your policy. Now, you know, safety is the most important thing. We need to make sure people are safe and and we opened up the ability for online events. We created the ability for people to use 200 different event platforms. Zoom obviously being the most well known, but there's lots of different ones out there. And in the last year and a half since the pandemic started, we have had over three million online events. And now we're seeing, you know, due to the vaccines, things growing again.  So so just to share this one last tidbit, which is online events provide so much value for both members and organizers. And let me explain if you live in a rural town and you, let's say, are the parent of ADHD kids. And there's no meetup group for parents of ADHD kids in this rural town in Canada, like a friend of mine. So now he's able to be part of a parents of ADHD online group that has people from 30 or 40 different countries, which is a real value for a member. If if you are an organizer and you want to have a global footprint, rather than having to create, you know, 50 or 100 different locations, you can have a global footprint with an online event. Ultimately, it never can replace in person. And hybrid events is what's going to be something that becomes extremely popular in the future of both in person and online. And we're facilitating that. But there's so much value to be gained from members and organizers through going online. It's really been a blessing. It's really been a blessing. So what do you see as some of the biggest challenges as we move forward and your company goes back to IRL events after the entire world has been conditioned to pull everything back and has gotten incredibly comfortable sitting at home and doing everything as we are doing it right now. And I belong to certain groups and there is a focus on, hey, this has been great, but things are opening up. And unless we can transition this in real life, then our mission, our purpose and everything is going to collapse in on itself because all of those things solidify with face to face person to person interaction. Yeah, I think, Johnny, you have the tale of two worlds. You have the introvert world and you have the extrovert world, right? On the extrovert world, if there's like a group of salespeople or marketers that they're dying to get back out and they're just out there and the vaccines are happening and they're going IRL and we're seeing groups that are filled with more extra, like whether it's hiking groups or certain sports groups we're seeing enormous growth like people playing pick a ball, whatever, all these different groups we're seeing enormous growth in groups that have personalities that are more extroversion oriented. Now, the opposite, groups that are more correlated with introversion, not to stereotype but let's say many of our tech groups out there or some of our potential social groups out there especially around introverts, they definitively do need more coaxing and nudging and encouraging. So at one point in time, we created something called Meetup Live to help organizers be more successful at the transition from in person to online. Now we're actually doing the opposite and we're creating workshops for organizers who have been doing online for so long of how to get a plan and how to manage getting back in person and to understand that in the beginning there's going to be some people that are being less comfortable getting together back in person and that's okay. You don't need to wait until everyone is comfortable getting back in person. You need to wait until enough people are comfortable getting back in person that it will start becoming a regular flow and just the answer is Nike. Just do it.
