So hopefully you guys are doing good. I don't know if you have any topics you want to chat about or if you're just trying to look at the, the gorgeous, um, stunning views that we got here down here on the East Coast. Uh, got some white sands, got some palm beaches. The sky doesn't have a cloud in it. And the lagoon's looking awesome. So yeah, down here on the west coast of Florida— sorry, east coast of Florida. So that's where we're at. It is really good. So if you guys are from the United States, if you want, you can punch in what state you're from. If you're from a different country, feel free to put that in. I'm kind of curious to see where we have people coming in from. We do have a lot of folks that are We do get a chance to, um, see people and talk to people really from all over the world. We had a lot of people the other day from England. We chatted with some folks not too long ago from Pakistan, and we had some blokes from Australia. Oh, you're from Dallas? What a wonderful city. I love Dallas. That is a great— Dallas-Fort Worth, beautiful town, wonderful people. Um, just amazing. Amazing. Weather can kind of be a little poopy in the winter. You can kind of deal with some cold stuff there. That's awesome. Yeah, that is awesome. Hey Achilles, how are you doing? Um, yeah, this is, uh, God is good, no doubt. Jesus is good. And sorry for the wind, a little windy over here. Not a lot of trees in this area, but you guys could probably hear the seagulls. The seagulls— let me see if I can zoom in. Let me zoom in over here. That's a group of seagulls just chilling on our east beach. Yeah, I know, I know. Yeah, that's true. There you don't get a lot of bad, like, uh, apocalyptic-grade weather. You just get— over in Dallas, you just get like sometimes you get like the ice, ice cold and stuff as it comes down. That's— we got Sean's also from Dallas too. That's pretty cool. Yeah, Dallas is a fun place. I, I enjoyed it. I've had, uh, many trips there. I love the food, love the people. A big city. I mean, it's 2 cities technically, but it's big. I'm assuming you both are probably Cowboys fans. That's kind of a thing that goes with the territory. It is. And so, yeah, I definitely would love to get some traveling in. I think next year I'm going to start to do more with the ministry in the coming months, but not this year. We got to get some things done in the context of that. Hello, Richard. Hello. Hope all is well. Yeah, this is exciting for everyone. Yeah, I'm, I'm looking forward to doing more traveling next year. I think I'll be blessed to do that. This year is more of like, if you guys are familiar with like different kind of like planting seasons and such, this is going to be more of a sowing season. We're putting a lot of seed in the ground and doing a lot of things to set us up for success long term. And I think next year will be more speaking engagements. So yeah, we'll definitely have to look up Sean, Sean and Natalie there. If you guys got some churches or some venues, we could definitely You know, get a— get an event over there would be pretty awesome. Oh, thanks, Richard.

Dallas is a great place. A lot of cool things there for sure. And, uh, a lot of cool things. I might have to go there when I can check out a Cowboys game. And in there, because I haven't been to the new state. I haven't been to. I think it's AT&T Stadium. I haven't been there, so I have to check it out. Yeah, it'd be pretty cool. It's fun. It is good. So awesome. Yeah, there's no sharks here at this beach. This is a contained. Lagoon. That's the beautiful thing about it. It is, uh, it is man-made, and it's, uh, I think 14 acres if I remember correctly. Uh, stunning, stunning for sure. Hey, uh, hey Zaneeb, I apologize if I mispronounced your name, but hello, welcome to the channel. Yeah, I, I know I mentioned this earlier, if you guys haven't subscribed to my channel, uh, please do so. We've been, like I said, we've got some amazing videos coming out. We have a bunch of collaborations. We've been recording them and we're getting them published. So we got Alicia Bradley coming up this week. We've got— if you guys follow any of the Christian content creators, Tracy Costin is, uh, the second largest, uh, Christian content creator, female Christian content creator in the world. She's coming on the channel in 2 weeks. She's going to be there. That's going to be Light. That's gonna be awesome. We have Sergio Sanchez coming out next month. We've got Prophet Rob Sanchez, although I don't think they're related. They're gonna be coming out. We got Katie Hook, another Christian evangelist, and a bunch more, a bunch more that I'm not gonna announce until we get closer to the time. But there's some amazing stuff. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, I'm excited to to be, uh, you know, providing some good content for everyone. It is good stuff. My daughter is going to be doing some collaborations too. She just recorded her first one a few days ago with an up-and-coming music artist, and he's going to actually be performing his new song that he made. Uh, really good stuff. Uh, looking forward to that. I don't have a date when that's going to be released, but, uh, it's going to be some exciting things. And so hopefully everyone can kind of chime in and check it out. It'll be awesome as we go through all this stuff. So that is cool. Yeah, it's great stuff. I'm, I'm excited to see the, uh, the channel continue to grow and see what God has in store for us in the coming, the coming weeks. We got— I mean, this is really going to be, I think, uh, from our perspective, it's going to be the, the most high-quality content we've put out ever. We're really going to be churning. We're going to be probably putting out, uh, 3 full-length videos per week. We do 3, we may go back to 4 shorts per day, uh, the vertical live streams, uh, the community posts. Uh, you guys are going to get a lot of edification in the coming, in the coming months. We got some amazing people, uh, coming on the show, uh, and then we're trying to set up more collaborations with some other folks. So we'll probably have Our schedule booked out probably at least until July at this point. Like, we've got that much content that we'll be doing within the next 30 days. We'll actually have months worth of content planned out on top of it. So yes, Achilles, this, this whole channel is all about Jesus. That's all we do is we talk about Jesus. Um, yeah, if you guys aren't saved, it is, uh, it is the greatest gift that you can receive is the gift of Jesus. He is incredible. Um, I will tell you that there's going to be a lot of people that will, uh, deny the Lord. And, uh, yes, Jennifer, go Cowboys! Um, so the, the people will deny the Lord, but I will tell you that I have seen firsthand, uh, demonic possessions. They are real. The devil is real. I have seen the devil in people, and the only thing that drives those demons out is the name of Jesus. Amen. And when you truly understand, when you truly understand and experience that firsthand, you know the power of God, the finger of God can drive out the demonic forces. Then you realize that everything else in the world is pale in comparison to him. It is amazing. So yes. Yeah. So Jennifer, are you based in Dallas too? Seems like like the whole city of Dallas decided to just join this live stream. We got a bunch of folks from Dallas, Texas. Coming in, or at least fans of the Cowboys, which they— I mean, there's a lot of fans for the Cowboys. You don't necessarily have to live in Texas for that to be the case. So yeah, it's exciting. I'm excited for some things, for the, the things that are going on. Hopefully everyone is having a, um, a good week so far. I know it's Tuesday, we're just getting— the week's just getting warmed up. Looking forward to some exciting things in the coming days. We've got some Other things going on and really looking forward to doing some cool stuff here in the coming weeks. It'll be pretty fun for us as we move forward and we— as we kind of go— as we go forward into the, the really the heart of spring. Although, you know, being down here in Florida, that's, um— we'll see you, Sean. Um, yeah, go ahead, Princess, if you want to ask a question, go ahead, type it in the chat. Uh, uh, the— down here in the, in the South, it's, it's pretty much summertime year-round. So we got Princess, Yui, and Torley. Go ahead, if you want to type your question, go ahead. I'll, I'll do my best to answer it. I'll do my entertainment for you in the interim. Excuse me. So yeah, I hope— I'm not really sure why no one's at the beach today. Actually, I think I might be the only one here now that I think about it. I don't see anyone else here. This is pretty cool. So yeah, I got a whole beach to myself. This is fun. I guess everyone's home cooking dinner. Yeah, I don't see anyone else anywhere else. I'm like kind of looking around. No, I don't see anyone over on the West Beach. No, that's okay. I'll take the beach to myself, so it should be interesting. So we got— here's the question from Princess. So if a shark living in a pot with a dog, with a dog with a shark, be dead, or would the ducks be dead? Well, Princess, if you're in Florida, uh, there will probably be an alligator in the, in the pot— what I'm assuming you mean pond— and And the alligator would just eat everything. Uh, but I would say that the shark doesn't usually eat ducks, but they would probably definitely eat dogs. So I would say the ducks are not dead. But I would say for sure that, um, that's my— that would be my question— answer to questions. The ducks are alive because the shark fed— ate the dog and enjoyed it. Not that that would be pleasant in any way, shape, or form, but in order just to answer your question, we probably have to do some trivia things like that. Ask you guys some like really crazy questions and see if you can answer them. That's cool. Yeah, the United States is a big place, so hopefully, hopefully, Princess, you're at least in a place that's warm. I know there's a bunch of places up north. And the Northeast, like New York City, Pittsburgh, you know, Boston area, Washington, D.C. I think it's the weather is like kind of crummy up there. So hopefully you're not anywhere where it's like crummy. Hopefully it's not someplace nice and warm and cozy like Dallas, which seems like a lot of folks were on the call in this on this live stream were from Dallas. No, I live I live over in. East Coast in Florida. So I, I actually had a chance a few years ago prior to the pandemic to, um, end up living in California, but the job offer fell apart just at the last minute, and so I ended up not going to California. Ah, the Bahamas. Oh, Mr. Moon, that's what I'm talking about. That is a nice place, not too far from where I'm at. So yeah, so Mr. Moon is experiencing this weather, this level of weather right now. Beach, beautiful skies, warm weather, sun. That is what I'm talking about. Yeah, it's— yeah, Florida's okay. Yeah, if you did subscribe to my channel, you know, we'll be— I'll be going live a lot. And so you can definitely join the live streams and we can definitely chat and, uh, and talk and, uh, kind of keep it— keep in touch. That's kind of the point of these live streams. It's, um, the point for me— for me is to connect with the community and reach out to everyone and get to know them. That's kind of the point, is to kind of get to know you, you get to know me, and talk about stuff that you guys care about. That's awesome. That's awesome. Thank you for subscribing. Yeah, Florida. I think Florida, where I'm at in Florida, I will tell you that it is probably one of the nicest places in the entire state. We have sensational schools. We have sensational the the income level here happens to be really really high. And so crime is like nonexistent. We have stunning, stunning places that like this, they're like everywhere. And so it feels like we're on vacation every day of the year. So it's not like, like typical Florida, I would say, or old Florida. Like if you're familiar with like Amelia Island, which is up way up north and, uh, up close to Georgia, like that's old Florida. And obviously you got, um, you got down Miami and that area, that's awesome. And, but pretty busy and stuff. So that is cool. That's cool. It is good. It's good down here. I can't complain. I mean, really, we took our time when we moved here and did not regret it. It was a great decision. And we would do— we would have— the only regret I have, the only regret I have is I didn't do it earlier, to be honest with you. And even then, it's not a regret, but it's just something that it's been so nice. That I would, I would highly recommend anyone that would be looking to move. There's a lot of these places near Tampa that are set up like this, and they're incredible. They're like these crazy awesome communities with water slides. And, you know, over here is a swim-up bar, so you can just come up and, you know, have— you can order food, you can order drinks. I don't think you can see it, but behind there is a slide. You could go like sliding and stuff. And then over here, like right over here through the bushes is, um— go ahead, Princess, if you got a riddle for me. Between the bushes is there's paddle boats. And so you can come here and you can hit the gym, hit a restaurant, do paddle boats, canoeing, go out swimming. And this is big enough, so if you like really like to swim, like you can actually swim here because I think it's like I'm trying to remember. It's like a quarter mile each way. So it's really awesome. So it's really cool. I mean, there's just not many places in the world that have these things. And, uh, a lot of them, a lot of the what I would consider master-planned communities, because I've seen a bunch of them up north, they're just, uh, houses around like maybe a town center where you have like shopping and stuff. And, uh, And that's it. But this is like, you can see across the ways, across the lagoon, they're starting to build all the shops. So we can walk to a bunch of retail complexes, like literally like 5 minutes away. And you can just go, they're putting a hotel over here. And then they've got, I think a Starbucks is going in here. They've got a Kilwins is that building. I think it's this one. I think it's this building here. And It's pretty amazing. Yeah, praise God, praise God. It's all, it's all because of him. It's not because of me. I didn't find this place, he did, and we just like said yes. So, all right, we got Princess's, uh, what is this? This is going to be, uh, a question. So here we go. One is filled with sharks, one is filled with dinosaurs. All right, that's pretty awesome. One is filled with dogs, but the dogs are aggressive. Which one will you pick that they might die or bite your leg off? Oh geez. So let me repeat that again for everyone. So we got one— I'm assuming one pond is filled with sharks, another is filled with dinosaurs, one's filled with dogs, but the dogs are aggressive. Which one will you think that might die if you bite your leg off? Well, For sure, unless the dinosaurs are small, the dinosaurs are going to be for sure the place that, you know, if they, if they bite your leg off, then you're, you're not really going to have a chance to live. Dogs are like that too? For sure. Dogs generally aren't big enough to do that. Even the big dogs, like the wolf-sized dogs, are not going to be able to do that, even if they're super aggressive. I've seen some pretty big, big buggers, like Uh, Saint Bernards, they're like 250 pounds, like they're small bears, but they're no nothing compared to a shark or a dinosaur. So that's my, that's my guess. It's the— my first guess is the dinosaurs, then the second guess is the sharks. So Mr. Moon, I, I actually am, uh, an entrepreneur, so The ministry we run, the social media sites, so like this actual YouTube channel, is actually what we do. We're full-time content creators. So, we actually made the switch last year and this is what we do full-time. So, we post content on YouTube, we post content on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, a whole bunch of places actually more than that. And then, we also help other Christian content creators go viral. So, uh, if you know anyone that wants to do what we do, because we have 450,000 subscribers, praise the Lord, on YouTube, then, um, uh, the, the key is, is we help them do that too. So we help them replicate that. We, we do social media editing, social media management, we do analytics, like all the behind-the-scenes stuff. All right, we'll see you, princess. And, um, and so that's kind of what we do. So we really just focus on the social media side of things. We do have a bunch of digital assets that come out. We have a freedom program that we're launching and a bunch of other things that we're doing. We're gonna have books that are gonna come out and things like that. So that's kind of at a core what we do. So that's, that's kind of what I do full-time. That's what we do full-time. It's pretty awesome. I can't complain in any way, shape, or form. It's been amazing, amazing ride. We're really excited. We're, we're not too far away from pretty much exploding. And, um, and then just going to a next level. So we're very expectant within the next 30 to 60 days that we'll be completely transformed. Because actually, in retrospect, uh, if we look back at the ministry, even 30 days we were at a completely different place. And if you look at it back 60 days, we were even at a completely different place. So 60 days ago, we were really like wondering where things were going to go. And now we're halfway to a million subscribers. And most likely we'll be at a million, uh, not very long from now. It won't take us many, many more, many more weeks. And, uh, and then, you know, at that point there's not that many people in the world that are that big. I mean, that's, that's the thing. It's like when you cross a million subscribers on YouTube, um, you're, you're literally like top 1,500 in the world, I think, if I remember correctly. Like, there's just not many channels that are that big. So it's pretty cool. So yeah, this is pretty awesome. It's exciting. Let's see, does we got anyone else got any other questions while we're on the live? We kind of ran a little longer than I normally do, but we got some engaged, uh, community, so I just want to keep going. So if we got anyone else got any questions, go ahead and put them in the chat if you'd like. And, uh, if you, if you want to, feel free to share. I think you could share this. Um, yeah, if you want to, I think you could share this live stream. I'm not really sure how to, and, uh, I think it's the buttons at the bottom. Yeah, you can share this. Share this with some of your friends. And it is, um, yeah, Mr. Moon, it is actually quite a fun job. I mean, there's no question there's work. Like, I mean, when you're doing a lot of editing like the level we do, uh, and that much content, like, we do work a lot. Like, there's no question, but it is a lot of fun because you get to do what you— you get to do what the Lord kind of guides you to do. And, and you get to make some awesome content, get to meet awesome people like you, and, um, and just get to know some folks. And we don't have to worry about, uh, other people, you know, dictating to us hours and content and things like that. We get to, we get to make it what we want, and, and we can make it as successful as God allows us to, to make it. And, uh, you know, given the, the folks that we've been working with in other, in the Christian circles, man, there, there are some seriously successful Christian content creators and And obviously, you know, we're gonna be, you know, actually we're gonna be live streaming with a lot of them. So you guys are actually gonna see the videos. So it's pretty cool to kind of get to know them and, and, and experience it. So I can see why— I think I remember correctly, someone was saying the other day that I think it was they're saying like 8 to 12 year olds now, they said 75% of them when they grow up, they want to be YouTubers. Because you can kind of, once you get going and you've established your community, you can really make a lot of money. And there are a fair share of YouTubers that make a significant living off of YouTube and stuff. And so that's kind of the direction we're trying to go is just continue to go this direction and see where it'll take us and kind of move forward and kind of diversify what we have. That's pretty cool. It is fun. All right. Well, I'm going to go ahead and sign off for the day. I hope everyone has a blessed evening and you guys have a wonderful time. We'll try to get Some more live streams. I don't think I'm going to be able to do one tomorrow. I think my schedule is pretty booked, but I do think Thursday is going to be looking good. So maybe Thursday morning, I'm going to try to get one in. Let's see if I can get some folks on, and hopefully you guys can join me. If you can't, then feel free to catch it because it goes live. The live stream will then get posted later in the day, and you can catch it in the afternoon. And then obviously we got the Thursday, the Thursday video coming out at eight o'clock. It's going to be on fire. It's going to be amazing. All right, everyone. God bless.
