1,000,000 Subscribers Gold Play Button!

Hi, my name is John Humenik. Welcome to the channel. I'm so excited you're here today. I've got an amazing video today. We're actually going to do an unboxing of my YouTube 1 million gold plaque. I've got a couple different angles, got one here, one there, and we're going to go ahead and show this off in a different way. I want to thank all of those people who have subscribed to the channel. We have been on this journey now for about 18 months. We made a pivot in the channel around August of 2023, and we've been able to create and curate a ton of great content. I wanted to also thank folks that have helped me along this journey. Evangelist Taylin Michael, Evangelist Cade Crushell, Coach Steve Marks, Coach David Purther, Tracy Costin— technically Costin, but my apologies, Tracy— Megan Temmer. There have been a lot of people on this journey that have helped me get to this place. And I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart that you have been able to help steward me in the journey following in the footsteps that you've put together. But I also want to thank everyone who has subscribed to this channel. We're almost already at, um, like, I think, what, 1,020,000 subscribers? We just crossed that threshold just a week ago, and we're already continuing to grow. So I want to thank everyone here, and this unboxing is for you. I'm excited to show you how it looks and all of those things. Like I said, we've got the 2 different angles, so you get to see a little bit of different aspects of the studio as we do this, a little bit behind the scenes. And I'm excited to get started. So, uh, what we have here is, is you've got— I'm gonna actually unfortunately have to put this in front of myself. Uh, they've got this come in a box. Now they did change the, the look and feel of the, the plaque. It's a little bit smaller and a little lighter, so it will be the same size as the silver plaque. And so let me go ahead and get this opened up and, uh, go ahead and do this. Hopefully all the angles are good. Uh, they've got, you know, the good old foam and so on and so forth. So what they have here is they've got this card. It's because, you know, talks about, uh, I'm gonna go ahead and move this a little closer. Sorry for the lighting. It says congratulations on the subscriber milestone. And the, the nice thing about this is, is the only other milestone that's left is this small one right here. Which is the 10 million one. So we don't know how long it'll take us to get there, but we know by God's grace we will. And so excited about that. So I'm gonna go ahead and read the letter that they sent over from Neil Mohan, which is the YouTube CEO. It says, you did it! One mission, one channel, and one more thing— 1 million subscribers. Congratulations. You may have started with a few viewers, and that's true. We started this journey with 125 subs. That's it, 1-2-5. But your voice, passion, and creativity have now touched the lives of people around the world. Praise God. We've actually got, I think last time I checked, over 70 million views globally. And the community you've built is enriched by the stories you've shared as you bring people together. To honor this milestone, we're proud to present you with the Gold Creator Award. We hope this special recognition reminds you how much you mean to so many. Every day you're redefining how content is created and watched. One voice, one video at a time. It's a privilege to be a part of your journey, and we can't see— can't wait to see what you do next. Sincerely, Neil. So this is the letter. Uh, it's pretty awesome. I'm pretty excited to see how it goes. Gotta show it to both cameras. Uh, as you can tell, I don't usually shoot with multi-cameras. And so this is the plaque right here. And so I'm gonna go ahead and show it up here and then here. Sorry for putting it in front of my face, but you know how it goes. Uh, so we got this. And so the, the, like I said, the plaque is a little bit different sized than, um, with the older, the older ones, but it still looks absolutely amazing. Uh, looks, you know, phenomenal. So what you can see here is, is that you've got the John Humenik Ministries, uh, celebrating for passing 1 million subscribers and, uh, pretty awesome stuff. And on how it kind of looks and all those different things. We're really excited to actually be able to show this. Our studio in and of itself, as you can tell, is set up for background colors and not necessarily decoration, something we may change in the future. But at this time, we're really excited with what we've got here, and we'll be able to showcase this going forward. The cool part is we're going to be able to take some pictures with this and show this online. So really excited to kind of show everyone all these different things. But again, thank you so very much for continuing to support this channel. If you aren't subscribed and you're watching this video for the first time, definitely subscribe. You're not going to be disappointed in the content we create. We pump out a lot of top-tier content, a lot of teaching content, a lot of kingdom business content. Our vision of this ministry is to preach the gospel to the world, and as a part of that journey, the key part is, is Is you. It is— it— while I'm the voice of the ministry, you're the viewer. The content is for you, and sharing that with others is so important because this is what, what it's all about, is for us to carry the, the mission forward in a way that both resonates with you and it resonates with the people that you know, and that adds value to your life. That's the key part, because we're not here to just talk and have a good time and entertain you. We're here to add value. We're here to be able to transform your lives with truths, biblical truths that are stored in the Bible as a part of our understanding, to impart that upon you and to allow you to grow as a part of your journey so that you can do the same for others. And so the Lord has blessed us tremendously over these last 3 years in ways that we can't even just, you know, even articulate in a short period of time. But these things, that these achievements, uh, are public recognition of those things. And so I want to thank everyone for tuning in and, you know, seeing these different things and being a part of the journey. This award is as much yours as it is mine, and I'm excited to be able to continue to do great things for the kingdom of God, partnering with you along the way. God bless.
