How to transmit the gospel to the whole world. This has been a subject on many people's minds for a long time. And today I'm going to uh delve into some mysteries here and I am going to focus this on practicalities, not uh making a legal case from the scriptures as to. Uh well, I, I I'm not really interested
today in making a case in the scriptures about why all these things are. I'm just going to tell you how to do it. Um I will be discussing this at length in a future book, but uh recent events have led me to believe that it's appropriate to share these thoughts now and those who find value in them can
implement them now instead of waiting, what might be a long time until I finish that book. There are a lot of other things that I need to do first. OK. So, um you will find, if you do a scripture search, you'll find many references about taking the gospel to every nation, every Kindred, every tongue
and every people. And um the way that this has been attempted in the past is not correct. And that's why it's ineffective and has not worked. Um, a lot of our preconceived notions about what these things mean are wrong. Um I'm not going to um go in depth into this uh idea and the verses, but I think
you'll get the point through this presentation. Maybe I'll come back to say something explicit about it, but uh I'll just say that's what this presentation is about. OK. Uh There are two pieces to the gospel being revealed to the world. One is what is given and the other piece is in what form it is given
. And the critical piece of that is and in what form it is echoed. And uh let me, we dive deeper into this. So what is given? You don't have to worry about that in the sense of uh of, of being the means for it being given. God is going to take care of that. He will reveal the Gospel in its fullness.
Um You might, you might bristle at that statement saying, well, hasn't that already been done? Yes and no. Uh all the pieces are in place but oh, how can I say this? Um Imagine a jigsaw, a very big jigsaw puzzle. And uh all the pieces are in the box and the box is sitting there on the table but it has
not yet been put together. And uh the completion of that puzzle produces a picture that is shareable and um does what it's meant to do but the pieces when separate cannot do that. And uh just having a few of the pieces put together that has AAA benefit, but it is a limited benefit as we see in the world
today with the lack of uh power in the gospel and how it's and how it's preached and how it's lived. So anyway, point is God's gonna take care of that. You don't have to worry about it. You have to worry about recognizing it as it happens, but you don't have to be the instrument of receipt. God will
take care of that. Um Well, what I mean is you're not the one who's going to put the puzzle pieces together, but you are responsible for receiving the picture once it's put together. But we don't have to get into that. That's not the point of this. Um The point is the second bullet which is in what form
it is given. This is your problem. OK? So, um your role in all of this is to do everything you can to facilitate the transmission of more information to more people. So that's that in what form it is echoed and that's what we're going to talk about here. So, um you might say, well, if, if the fullness
is not yet revealed, what's the point? It's not time. No, you're wrong and let me tell you why if God revealed it. All right now, what would happen is the end of the world would happen and uh it wouldn't do anyone any good. Why is that? Well, there are consequences that accompany every level and piece
of truth. So it's impossible for God to reveal something without increasing the consequences that are in play because of it. So every time he gives something good, um it's only good if it's used for good and for those who don't receive it and don't use it properly for its purpose. um It, it leads to
poorer outcomes and so everything is a two edged sword and Jesus said that you're sanctified through the word. Um I believe that's in John 17. Um but we're also judged by the word. So every single thing God reveals, um it clarifies and increases the standard by which we're judged. And also so you're
accountable for what you know, right. So the more you know, the more is expected of you where much is given much is expected um by the word, you're blessed. So you receive blessings through living the law commandments. So the more instructions you receive from God, the greater the blessings you can obtain
because those instructions there, their, their treasure maps and the treasure is the blessing and they show you the way. If you follow that, you'll be blessed. But also once you have the treasure map, if you don't follow the way, it's not just that you don't get the treasure. So you, you don't stay neutral
, there's no neutrality in this if you don't follow something, once it's been revealed, you have to be punished. That's just the way it goes. It's all part of God's justice. And if it weren't that way, he cease to be God. So, um if you need proof for the, the idea that no one would listen if God were
to reveal everything right now in a fullness, um, all you need to do is realize that um if a person were willing to receive it in that form, that is like the raw form straight from God, they would have done it already because God's impartial. So this is this is how the jigsaw puzzles put together. If
you haven't put it together yet, it means that you wouldn't receive it in its put together state. That's a funny thing, but it's true. So, um the, the bottom line up front and I'm going to get into this in, in a much better illustration, I hope. But the bottom line is that truth, truth can't be received
in its fullness by those who have not received the truth in its fullness yet. And that seems like a catch 22 but it's not what what it implies is that there is an extremely important role for people in all of this that uh that we are needed to facilitate the transmission of truth to lower and lower levels
. So I'm going to explain what that means. And by no means this, this, this uh video by no means is going to explain all there is to it. This is just I've taken a lot of information and extracted precisely what I think can be properly received right now and, and still have a big old impact without the
need to make a formal case or say a lot more or pull in a lot more things that um it's not time for yet. OK. So, and another response to this idea, well, the fullness has not been revealed yet. Then what are we doing? Well, a whole lot has been revealed, folks. Um, there's much more available. If you're
watching this video, chances are, you know, a heck of a lot more about all of this than the average person and, uh, kudos to you for that. But the question is, have you adequately shared it with others? And, uh, from what I can see the answer is no. And don't take that as, oh, you're being so mean to
me, I'm just saying, um, the fact that there's such a differential between what you have and what everyone else has means that you probably haven't done enough to share it. So it's like, it's like being wealthy there. It's totally possible to be wealthy in spite of doing everything you can to make everyone
else as wealthy as you. But it's unlikely. And uh there's much more to be done, right? You don't just sit in your palace and say, well, you know, Oh, well, you have to get out there and do things and try to help other people. They're not going to come to you. So you have to go to them. So, why should
you care? Well, in doing this now, with what you have now is actually the best way you can prepare for what is to come. So when it does come, you're going to be in a much better place for various reasons I won't get into. But basically, um the more you give, the more you get and that's one way of simply
putting it. Um But also in the meantime, there's tremendous good to be done. I mean, even at the base levels, your ability to convey to others what God has conveyed to you, it will make a huge difference in their lives and in years. So I want to give you some keys to understand this, which will open
the door to many actions that you can do that you're not doing presently. And they're not scary, hard things. That's the beauty of this. This is actually a really simple teaching. OK. So let's get into understanding uh some dynamics of this which are essential to, to sort of get the picture. So I've
spoken before about this phrase Windows of Truth. I think I coined it. I don't know. But you know, when I think about ideas, I, I put labels on them to help organize my thoughts. And um it's kind of a hierarchical thing. That's why in my books, I have chapters, I have sections. I have chapters and I
have headings and I just, that's the way I organize these thoughts. So windows of truth is like a heading here. And I've talked about this before and there are a lot of pictures you can draw and they're really, really powerful, they help people understand this. But, um, for the purposes of this presentation
, let's just limit it to this slice. Everyone is limited in what they're willing to receive. Um There are off limits topics that people have like I'm not willing to consider the church that I go to, not being the best church that I could go to or not going at all, for example, or things that they believe
are commandments from God and no one is ever going to persuade them otherwise, even God himself. So an angel Gabriel himself could plop out of heaven and they'd say no, I'm sorry, this is, you're wrong. You must be from the devil because this is a commandment and I'm not going to change my mind. Um But
there are also other limits that people have. So not everyone sees the same thing, not everyone values the same things and they don't value them equally. Not everyone desires the same things and they certainly don't desire them equally. Um Actually, different people have vastly different limits of desire
, which is something I don't think a lot of people understand, but I wish they did. Um People don't understand the same things that should be obvious and uh we all have limits. It seems in who we're willing to receive things from. So it's very rare to encounter someone who is willing to learn the profound
truth from a little child or from uh someone they regard as less intelligent than them or from someone from a different religious background or someone who, about whom someone could say bad things or someone who holds some belief that it turns out is false, like truthfully is false and they're not willing
to receive truth from, from them, even if it's right and on and on and on. So we have a lot of limits, a lot of constraints and I call these windows of truth because it's an access point to something greater and the limits, it's like reducing the width and height of that portal so that access point to
something bigger. So anything that comes through has to go through that smaller hole and it's less likely that that's going to happen and that, you know, gospel teaching is all around about working through the limits of other people and ourselves. So it's, it's somehow becoming um a conduit of truth
in spite of all the limitations from ourselves and others. Um how the glory of God can flow through imperfect vessels. It's a beautiful thought and it's super important. Ok. So another aspect of windows is truth is the form in which the truth must be expressed. So I already kind of mentioned this idea
of who is sharing it and also what is shared. Um but also where it shared matters to people. So um I heard once that uh the best place to, to uh I, I probably shouldn't have said this, but now I set it up so I got to go with it. But the best place to pick up ladies is at a wedding because they single
women at weddings are like in this party mode and it's the best place to get numbers and get follow up dates and whatnot. So that's a pickup artist would tell you that because it's in, they're in the mindset. But if you go looking for dates at a grocery store, you know, you're just gonna get a lot of
angry ladies who are there to conduct business and not to have fun. And so people have this mindset question. It's the same with the gospel. Um Like you probably wouldn't go to a wedding to preach a gospel, right? Because that's not what people are thinking about or the grocery store or anywhere else
. Probably actually turns out. Um No, but people have very, very limited windows on where they're looking for truth. And so if they happen to be reading something looking for truth, they'll accept it. If that's the mindset they're in, they'll be more willing to consider it at least. Uh But how often
does that happen? So anyway, uh for reasons we'll get into in a minute, you really have to think about this because one of your jobs is to take truth to where it wouldn't otherwise be found. And then finally, content, um, people have huge barriers on what they perceive to be the tone in which something
is, is expressed, uh the reasons given uh to support the belief and so on. Um They, they just, there are a lot of uh automated triggers in people. And when you cross that line, they will refuse to consider the truthfulness of your message, no matter how true it might be. Uh The scripture comes to mind
where uh people are getting upset with Jesus. And I, now I'm trying to remember, he said something like um have I lied in what I've said? And if not, then why are you judging me? And because, you know, he, he had a big tone problem according to the people, he was constantly criticizing people. And that
really offended a lot of folks. And uh I think today people will be even more offended than they were back then because folks are a lot more sensitive to preprogrammed emotional responses than they are uh sensible to truth. So, OK, enough of that. So let's get to some pictures, made this picture, what
it's supposed to represent is a pond, a still pond into which we chuck a rock. So we're gonna throw a rock into a pond. And what's gonna happen is there will be a big old ripple where the rock is thrown in and then uh rolling out from that center point, there will be ripples of diminishing intensity
. So, can you imagine that picture? So we're looking at it top down. Uh We'll, we'll have a picture of it from the side. It's even cruder than this. So I think it gets the point across. So if we throw a big rock in, what's going to happen is the ripples get smaller and smaller as it goes out to the edges
. So how is this like truth? Well, this is an idea I call impulses and echoes. So the impulse is when the rock is thrown into the water and then the echoes are the ripples as they go out and they get smaller. Well, um our windows of truth, they, um they stipulate the size of ripple that we can pick up
on. So the distance from the rock to the rock here, if you're listening to this, you really have to watch it. Well, you don't have to do anything but uh you won't get the full, the full value. Um So the distance from the rock to the rock here is not as important as the height of the ripple is, although
those two things tend to be related in ways that the details aren't important for this presentation. But um, so this this, uh, smaller rock here, um, that is going to pick up on the size of the ripple that it's on. So it didn't pick up on the, on the lighter blue, but one shade down it can see that and
it's going to respond to that. You're thinking to yourself, what the heck rocks don't respond to ripples. What are you talking about? Well, bear with me. So, these rocks, um, they are people in this analogy. OK? Or they, they could be considered people. There's different ways you can go with this, but
that's what we'll do for this one. So the smaller rock is a person whose window of truth is smaller than the other one. And um but they're willing to, they, they're able to perceive the truth in the smaller ripple and then um the rocks instead of people because by receiving this truth, they become, they're
enabled to trans retransmit it like a Wi Fi repeater, retransmits the wi fi signal, they're able to retransmit that truth out from them. And so I don't know if you caught it, but the shades are the same here. OK. So it, it, this rock will hold on to that level of light that they've received and then
they broadcast out to the world, um their own echoes, right? So they become the rock and now they're broadcasting out other ripples. And so this pattern can just continue forever. It's like a nuclear chain reaction and this is, in fact, the way it goes. So Bajillion years ago, I wrote a book called Command
in All Things and there's a chapter called from the Throne of God. And that book cracks me up because when I reread it, everything I ever will teach is in that book already. And that doesn't mean you should go out and rush to buy it and read it because you probably won't get very much value out of it
at this point. Um Because so much is so glossed over at such a high level that I think I'm the only one that would connect the dots. Um Well, especially because I'm connecting the dots and things I haven't published yet. But um so you'd kind of have to be clairvoyant to uh to connect the dots. But anyway
, um but this is, this is, this just ties into the idea. I was trying to make way back then. The point I was trying to make way back then and looking back over that chapter. I mean, it's, it's hopelessly terrible in trying to make this point is so brief and high level. So anyway, I'm getting off topic
here. But, but the point is that this is how this is how God's light transmits through everything that I just showed you. It's, it's through impulses and echoes and you can read DNC 88 if you want to self study some more about that. Uh I, I'll break all this down if I, um, get the time, eventually it
will be in a book. But, um, I, I'll also go into this in further presentations. I probably have about 100 slides sitting around on this topic. Um, but it's not time yet. So this is just the, the heads of the topic, I guess. Um, all right, let me get some water. So, um, one rock's emissions turn into
another rock's emissions in, uh, cascading echoes. This is impulses and echoes. Sounds like a podcast. This is Impulses and Echoes with Rob Smith. OK. Here's another view of this. Um And this is from the side. And again, this is, this is really crude intentionally. So it's just to get the basics, it's
just a schematic. So you've got the initial impulse and then the echoes out from that one and then there's some other lateral impulses and echoes. So the second line, they pick up on the first one and then they echo it and so forth. And there are some important things to realize here that first line
is hitting people and the second line is hitting a different set of people and the third line is hitting a different set of people, right? This isn't going to make sense yet, but we'll make it clearer with another picture. I just want to bring up the idea. So it's, it's, it's not just uh cascading levels
of truth, it's also expanding regions of emission. So, OK, so um in case you didn't know you're the rocks. Um So how do you do this effectively? How do you ripple this out? I'm calling this being a bridge to others. We could use other words like portals. Um Anyway, you're just, you're just a link in
the chain. That's the idea. Not just it's a high and holy calling, but that's the, the role is to be a link in the chain. OK. So how do you do this? The first and most important thing you can do is forget everything you think, you know about how this works because if you go to any church and you listen
to what they say about preaching the gospel, you're and you do those things, you're gonna get the same exact results they get. In other words, Jack Diddley squat, nothing is going to happen. Um The people who end up in that building will be probably the people who are going to end up there anyway. And
honestly, a lot of them will be there for the wrong reasons. Just won't be a very fruitful situation. The good news is that these things are not hard. I'm not about to tell you that you have to do crazy things. Um It's actually super simple. It's the missing piece is just information. I mean, there's
action missing, but the action is super easy. It's just the action hasn't happened because the information is not there and maybe you're already connecting a lot of dots through the impulses and echoes analogy. But we're gonna make it explicit. OK. So the old way of doing this is you spend time reading
scriptures or you go to church and hear somebody say something and then you go to other people and you regurgitate it probably poorly because that's what we all do, right? So um that doesn't work and there are reasons for that, that I'll explain in a second. I have a picture for that, but there's a better
way and that better way is to be a transformer, right? So you need to transform the message into a message that's uh that's more readily receivable and also perceivable to the people who did not already receive it the same way you did, right? So if you have something, you have it because you got it in
some way. The question you need to ask yourself is why didn't these other people get it in the same way? Because the answer is probably not today that they didn't have access to it because we are drowning in access to information. So um it could be like, like let's say, let's disconnect from the gospel
for a second and just zoom out we're talking about any old valuable piece of information. Um Maybe uh maybe you're a person whose life circumstances mean you, it's easy to spend a lot of time on youtube. Let's just throw that out there. Um And maybe you come across some video that's like a two minute
video. It's not going to be a huge, uh, risk for someone to spend that time watching it on how to, I don't know, let's say, um, how to do your taxes in a way that you'll save 30% on taxes. And I'm just using that because it's a quantifiable value if you go around telling people your friends and family
and maybe even just random people you meet at the grocery store or at a wedding. Hey, uh, I found this way, I saw a two minute video on youtube on how to save 30%. I forget if I said 20% or 30% on your taxes, they'll probably want to see that. Right. If they pay taxes, they, they'll probably say, wow
, I know exactly what that would be worth to me. Two minutes of time isn't a lot. And this person I trust is suggesting that I do it. So maybe I'll go do that. Um, so that's a case of, I didn't know where to find it. Right. Most gospel topics are not, I didn't know where to find it. That's not the disconnect
. Ok. And I'm talking about, I'm not talking about the stuff that is yet to be revealed because obviously you can't find that what I'm talking about is the stuff that's already out there and it's just not used. It's not believed it's not lived. So the, the failure point here is not access, it's format
. So um you need to transform the message into something that is, is uh it's conveyed in a language that your audience already understands. I've talked about jargon before, but um words matter and just because you find value in the scriptures doesn't mean some random person on the street who doesn't
read them is going to find value in the scriptures. And um the language in the scriptures, it's a code, it's a code that takes a lot of time to start to decode. And I have yet to meet anyone myself included, who can read the language of scripture and extract instantly, extract from it all the value that
lies in it. It is massively rich. Um OK, so, and I, you know, I've been studying scriptures for 20 years and uh I spend a lot of my time outside of that solving puzzles, basically writing code and debugging code and um simplifying extremely complex things. Uh That's sort of my life and that's been my
life. Um So for someone on the street who doesn't do any of those things to just bust out a phrase from the scriptures and expect them to understand or value that is quite foolish. Um OK, and, and, and people go around thinking, well, God will just make it valuable to them. All right. I mean, if you
apply that same logic to every aspect of your life, you probably live a lot differently than you do. So, I don't think even you believe that um that's not an insult in terms of suggesting you're not living according to the way God wants you to. I'm saying that it's divergent from all of your observations
and actions and beliefs. It's a, it's a nonsense thing to say. Uh you have to transform the message into reasons that your audience already believes. So OK, let me just go back to that. So, language. So the take home from this is why would you introduce yet another thing? They're going to have to understand
and believe in order to understand and believe the thing you're offering to them. Does that make sense? So the point of teaching is you're trying to help people perceive and believe and move towards outcomes that they didn't perceive, believe or move towards before, right? So um why would you make your
job harder by conveying everything you have to convey in terms that are really hard to understand for them because then you're just adding to the stack of things that they have to grapple with in order for you to be successful. Uh So the next point is similar to that. So reasons your audience already
believes. So if you're going to preach the gospel in terms, they already understand and you're gonna give them reasons that focus on things they already believe. Um The more you have to convince them to believe, the less likely they are to believe the whole thing. Um So, so leave the things that are
hard to believe. Uh leave those, reserve those for the things that can't be avoided, right? Um Make it as easy as you can for them. And then uh also focus on the value your audience already recognizes and desires. So I had a conversation with a long time acquaintance the other day who's an amazing art
teacher and he was, uh he was sharing with me how he struggled a lot with, with math and English in school and we went to school together. Um So I remember that and um he said he wishes that his teachers could have encouraged him to learn or at least see the value of, of math and English in terms of
art, which is what he was passionate about. He was al always passionate about art. He's an amazing artist. And um he said he didn't learn English and math until on his own, he put it into the context of art and this is a good teacher does. This doesn't matter what you're teaching. I did this with computer
science, um which is notoriously missing in computer science classes. You don't get the context of why, what you're doing matters until usually your third year of college. And by that time, anyone who wasn't naturally interested in it, his, his winnowed away. Um And, and I had tremendous success in this
in, in putting the context upfront in terms of what they already valued and we absolutely need to do this with the gospel. So you need to find out uh what challenges your audience perceives, um what things they believe, what, what uh language is a huge topic. It's not just words, although that's the
biggest part, maybe um it's life experiences and, and uh situations, problems solutions just, just what they've experienced what they're, what they're fluent in. Um Anyway, so the bottom line here is that you are not sharing words, you're sharing ideas, not words, words are variable. They're just a means
to an end. The end is the idea, not the word, not the set of words. So, so the problem is uh well, I'll hold that off for the next uh I have a picture coming here. Um Well, let's just jump to it. Um ideas, not, not words. So, in this picture that the little guy in the top left, he's preaching the gospel
, he's saying ABC D, he's quoting scriptures, he's using jargon, whatever. And um there's someone here that listens to him just directly below. And that person, let's say it's you and that person repeats the message in the same form that they've been given in and uh it's externally received and it's
externally transmitted and I'll tell you what I mean by that in a second and then you see this other arrow with the X on it. So uh the original person was unsuccessful in reaching this person to the right? And so no surprise, the person who receives what he has to say also fails to reach that person
. Why? Because they're repeating the same exact message, right? Why would that person receive the same thing from one person and not from the other? It's not gonna happen. So um change up the word here, sorry, it should be a bridge. So if the message is internalized by the first recipient, that first
recipient is not limited to just echoing the same exact words they received. Echoing. Remember the picture, you can't just emit the same ripple that you received. Why? Because you'll only reach people who don't have it just because they don't have access to it. Now, those people exist, but they're rare
. The more common, the much more common um missing link is that the message was never internalized and therefore it can't be transmitted in a different way you get it. So let's go back to the slides we skipped here. Um Your task isn't to ask yourself in what ways can I repeat the same exact thing I was
told your task is given everything, you know, and this doesn't just include what some random person told you. It includes everything, you know, and specifically because we're talking about the gospel, it's everything you know about God and you look at the people you interact with or could interact with
and you say given their situation, what's the greatest improvement possible? And that is going to be a conclusion. Maybe it's an action they could take, maybe it's beliefs that they could adopt or improve, but whatever that improvement is, then you ask yourself, what is the very next step they could
take towards that goal? And then, and that's a question of, that's the second bullet here that's going to enumerate specific actions you can take to help them see that potential improvement, to help them believe that potential improvement. And these, this particular slide, if you wanted a reference,
you can go read through faith. And we discussed this, uh I discussed this in terms of the individual, but it's equally applicable to any other person. So make you a much better teacher and then you, you take those actions and that's it. So to most effectively do this, it's not just about finding more
truth, which is good, it's also about living more of what you know, why? Because you cannot internalize things without internalizing them, right? If you're not, uh it's hard to share things beyond what you've become, you can regurgitate things beyond what you've become. So um but but, and that will have
a positive effect, but you're not going to get the kind of reach that you could, you're not gonna echo those ripples, you're just going to repeat the same exact intensity that you received. OK. So we're going down to the fine print literally. So in detail here are things you can do one you can chop up
what you've received or summarize it. The fact is that very few people will read books today and you are not going to change that. If you prerequisite to be an effective carrier of truth is the first convert people to be book readers, you've already failed because the only people you're gonna reach are
people that could have read the same book you did. Right. And that's, that's great. But it's really not going to change the world. You might change a few people's lives, but you're not going to change the world that way. So you can chop it up or you can summarize it. Um And by the way, just to be totally
clear, the intent here is not to reproduce the same effect that it had on you, obviously. Uh So sometimes it is possible to chop something up and summarize it and convey the same takeaway to another person as you receive from doing much more reading more or whatever. But um that's unusual. Uh That's
, that's, I guess it's more possible, a poorly written book. We've all read those books. They should have been essays. Um Anyway, another thing you can do is reorganize it. So, um as a teacher and, and those in the profession of teaching will tell you this, this was certainly my experience. It's impossible
to optimize your teaching to all students. You can, you can generalize it. Um But that will, that will no matter what you do, there will be ways you could have changed your teaching to better reach someone. But the problem is they're mutually exclusive. If you optimize it for certain kind of student
, you will disadvantage another kind of student. And there's no way around that really. Um So in gospel teaching, the way around that is through volume of people who are transforming the message as I'm explaining here. So one way is to reorganize it, which is to say, take everything, you know, internally
and consider your audience and make specific points and organize your own points. So you have your own teaching goals and you organize your own points and, and I want to stress like this is all really detailed and you, you, you might feel overwhelmed, we're going to get to the simple application in a
second. So just hang on, but you can take all this as far as you want to and even just taking it a little way will make an enormous difference in your life and everyone else's life that you reach. So you can reorganize it, you can rephrase it. So um how are these different? Well, um if you look at a
set of ideas that would occupy, say a chapter and, and you could draw from the breadth of your experience. But just to give you a specific example, say we're looking at a chapter and the author hopefully had a point that they're making over the chapter and to support that point, they're making sub points
. Well, uh, maybe the point you want to make, you can use two of those sub points to make and maybe you need a third subpoint. That's from a totally different thing, completely unrelated to the author of that book. We go for it. Right. That's make your own end and, and produce your own points. The wonderful
thing about ideas is they're not owned by anyone. I mean, there's the concept of copyright but in the, in the nonlegal sense, no one owns ideas. Um they're not made poorer for you adopting them and sharing them with other people. They're not fixed entities. You can copy them as many times as you want
, you can change them around as much as you want and no one can stop you from thinking about things. So use that to your advantage and God will assist you and help you to formulate those uh those arguments. OK. Uh What about framing it? Well, uh that can mean a lot of things, I mean, in the visual way
here. Um So it's really popular these days to have very beautiful uh not an infographic. I don't even know what you call it, but you've all seen those little quotes and with the stylized fonts and the pictures and whatever. And um that is a skill that typically the people that mine, this information
are not the people that can do that. So these, these are typically distinct things. Not always. But um people expect that nowadays, one of the weird things, if you remember youtube videos back in 2009, they were all really bad. And now, um the, the bar so people would watch garbage back then. But now
if it's not visually stunning, people really won't watch it. And uh I don't make any effort to make my stuff look good because I only have so much time and my time is spent on other things that are more unique to me. But if that's your forte, that's exactly what you should do. And, and it's not on this
list. I don't know why, but frame it videos would be on there too. If that's your talent in life. Uh A talent you've developed in life, then use it because the people producing the information and bring it to you, maybe they don't have that talent so you can be massively helpful by reframing it. And
, and again, you don't just have to repeat what you were told although you could, that's, that's very straightforward. You know, you can put it into your own words, you could redesign it however you want and that's a beautiful thing. Um Then finally take it to new environments. So this is the people
that didn't have access before, but it's a little richer than that because maybe the limitation is, is more of the windows of truth limitation where um they wouldn't hear it from that person, but they'll hear it from you. And uh then in more practical terms, maybe you're on social media and that person
isn't, maybe you have friends on social media that that person doesn't and then face to face is always a big deal as well. Uh You have access to folks with whom you already have relationships and you can use those relationships to help those people that you know, to be more aware of and more willing
to uh receive improvement. OK. So that's all real, real detailed, but it, it can be super simple folks. Um All you have to do is copy and paste quotes. Like if that's all you do because of watching this video, the world is going to be a better place. Um The fact is that almost no one searches for things
, you have to put it in their face. And so this is massively valuable and I've said a bunch of times writing Amazon reviews helps as well. Uh for books, uh people do look at those, it matters. It, it adds credibility to a message. And so if 10,000 people have read a book, but only six have written a
review, the average person is going to look at the fact that only six people have written reviews and assume only six people have read the book. And uh so that's something to consider. Again, copy pasting quotes, even writing an Amazon review, it takes a minute, it's not a big deal and yet it has massively
outsized results, ok? And then if you go a step up in time commitment, making those beautiful social media posts and things that for the people who are good at that, they can whip those things out. Um And that can have a massively outside outsized result because you share that once and maybe the people
, you share it with, share it with five people. And then all of a sudden, maybe 50,000 people have seen that zero of which would have seen it before. Um And then finally, a more consuming uh but still outsized result would be to make videos. And I mentioned that before and these are the kinds of things
we need to see. This is about the gorilla gospel. This is uh taking things and under the guidance of the spirit doing what you can do, given your talents and resources to make the things you believe more available to others. And I want to stress that this isn't about just parroting something someone
said this is about what his God taught you, go teach it to others. That's what this is about. OK. What's not so effective? Everything I do. OK. So um making bad youtube videos, uh writing books and writing blogs, blogs are pretty outdated. I, you know, even Facebook is kind of going by the wayside. The
blogs is like before that. And um it's just, it's, you're not going to reach younger people with this. Um And that's really where the future is. Um But beyond that, uh the fact is if someone's willing to read books or blogs, like only go down that road, if you have something unique to say, which you
might, I'm not saying you don't. But uh if you don't, then why not just give them a copy of a book or a blog that already exists a blog post? I mean, um so I don't know why, but that's people they imitate rather than innovate. And um when you're imitating and you're just reproducing what's already there
in the same format, it already exists. I'm not sure what you're doing, right? What value are you adding? But you are spending a whole lot of time. I mean, you know, it just doesn't make sense. So, um anyway, I've seen innovative books and blogs, but most books and blogs are neither when it comes to gospel
topics. Um So anyway, do what's most effective given your situation. So that's the last slide I have and I hope this has been helpful to suggest some ideas to you on how you can take part in spreading the gospel to the world.
