How did we get here? Do you mind recapping some of those stats and maybe walking us through maybe what your perspective is on how we got here?
2:55
I guess we'll do that in two parts.
2:57
We'll talk about the numbers and then talk about how we ended up at this place.

And then maybe where do we go from here? Yes.

I went on a pretty deep dive around the subject of Bible engagement and compiled from a range of different study groups, research, how are we doing with Bible engagement? And the summary of that is the average Bible-engaged Christian reads their Bible for 3.5 minutes a day.

So what was the switch for you to say like, oh, I can actually show all parts of me?
14:51
Well, our friend and our mentor, Nick, was a big, really big help with that.
14:56
And what he did specifically for me was I was telling him that I was really hating making content.
15:02
And it was honestly terrible.
15:04

15:08
Had to delete a lot of those videos, honestly.
15:11
But it was just terrible for a long time.
