And kind of like on the theme of getting in deeper, I feel like it's interesting that y'all are.

I love that y'all are both merging short form content and long form content, because I feel like a lot of ways people nowadays are so used to short form content on like social media and just like, you know, the quick dopamine hits.

What would you guys say was the reasoning behind really leaning into more of the long form content option for people as well?
i think i think that people i think that facebook lit actually probably that first one it really proved to us that people want something tangible like we had people download it but we heard stories of people printing it like we you know let people print it whatever and there was just something so special about having something in your hand
yep
you could really engage with and i don't I don't engage as well when it's just digital
because it's
kind of like, okay, I've consumed that and now it's gone.
But if I sit with it, you know, if it's like in hand, you know, and the study guides every week, you know, those, you can print those out, you can have them in a binder and you sit with those for a week, you know? So I think that part of it is very appealing to me because it allows me time to digest and get into some of those layers of meaning and That otherwise it's just very like, you know, top level, like shallow kind of little sound bites here and there.
And I'm kind of like sick of that.

when people kind of get into study guides, they don't realize it's going to actually, it encourages them to go inside and like really process where they're at.

And I feel like from both a spiritual and a mental health perspective, it did such a good job because you can actually write directly on it.

You can like highlight and you can make notes and all of those things, like just that tactile, tangible, um, element of it is so special and there's like graphics and visuals and you know like it kind of hits a lot of different things where people who have different learning styles it will help them you know what i mean and along with the the guides y'all also would be putting out videos that went along um with each week that you were going going to like discuss so tell me a little bit about like what inspired doing the videos alongside like the weekly passover prep like guide
Yeah, I think that goes back to my initial gut.
Like, I really wanted somebody to come along beside me.
And so, you know, you can provide written content all day long, but it can feel very distant.
And so it's like, I really just want to see somebody's face.
Digital is not an answer to the in-person relationship.
It just isn't.
And I hate, you know, Zoom calls.
