Idea number two, 00:00:06:10 - 00:00:14:02 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry which is a continuation of the video playlist, is linked right here at the top of the screen. I'm going to show you and tell you how I get 00:00:14:02 - 00:00:23:16 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry more done by doing less. You know, we explored, in the last video, the first part of my four part church social challenge framework. 00:00:23:16 - 00:00:31:29 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry And in this video, I am going to tell you exactly how we capture these videos with the results that you see here on screen, if you're watching on YouTube. 00:00:31:29 - 00:00:42:16 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry And then I'm also going to show you how I set up the Photoshop template for this game type along with the game type included in the last video, and it's going to be here all shown on screen. 00:00:42:18 - 00:01:00:23 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry So if you're listening, you may want to hop over to the YouTube channel for this one. And as always, over here on YouTube, there are chapters included at the bottom of this video so that you can skip around to the parts that are most relevant to you. But social challenge idea number two, that we do in our church and in our student ministry is a game called 00:01:00:24 - 00:01:02:20 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry name of the game is seven questions. 00:01:02:20 - 00:01:23:18 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry Now here's the deal about seven questions. Seven questions is essentially a guessing game. So you have two contestants and they sit across from each other or next to each other on screen. And one contestant has something in their brain. Think honestly. Think like 20 questions. But we just reduced it down to seven. So contestant number one, they're going to have something in their brain. 00:01:23:18 - 00:01:25:07 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry Let's just pretend the thing in their brain 00:01:25:07 - 00:01:59:22 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry is, a green snowflake mug, as you see here on screen that I'm drinking my coffee out of this morning. And so they're going to say, I am thinking of a thing. And so then the next person has seven questions to try and guess what thing they are guessing. And so they'll ask them yes or no based questions as they ask them either a checkmark for yes answers will show up on the screen, or a x for wrong answers was a checkmark for yes answers and an X for no answers will show up on the screen because it's just going to be keeping track one, 2345, 00:01:59:22 - 00:02:14:22 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry six, seven on screen. Of how many questions have been asked by the seventh question, they need to submit their guess. And then at the very...

I am your host, Nick place, and we are looking to make digital discipleship easy, possible and accessible. My strategy for social media in 2024, 00:00:18:14 - 00:00:24:13 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry and it's looking like beyond if you didn't know this. Short form vertical based videos or reels? 00:00:24:13 - 00:00:32:05 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry TikToks YouTube shorts account for 90% of the internet's traffic, which is just a wildly high 00:00:32:05 - 00:00:51:09 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry statistic. And so people are getting on the internet to consume these styles of videos. And so we as churches, as communicators, as people who want to have an impact in our world, we need to be on these platforms. And so if you do want to be on social media, I recommend taking that strategic approach, posting those types of videos. 00:00:51:09 - 00:00:59:24 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry And I also recommend not just posting only spiritual content. So one of the funnest things to do is post content that is just fun, 00:00:59:24 - 00:01:04:08 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry interesting, funny, like a game of some sort, and then hook people kind 00:01:04:08 - 00:01:08:27 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry of with that sort of piece of content and then hopefully drive them deeper down your funnel, 00:01:08:27 - 00:01:16:28 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry which you will eventually get them to more spiritual content and, and hopefully you'll get them to a long form version of your spiritual content, which from there you can hopefully, 00:01:16:28 - 00:01:21:10 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry just like you would live in the room, just like you would live with the sermon. 00:01:21:12 - 00:01:30:06 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry Prompt them to take some sort of meaningful next step closer to Jesus. My new favorite phenomenon for churches and for youth ministries is to create content 00:01:30:06 - 00:01:32:29 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry with my students, not just content 00:01:32:29 - 00:01:34:21 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry for my students. 00:01:34:21 - 00:01:52:19 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry Generation Z and subsequently Generation Alpha are looking for the personal touch. They've they've grown up under the rise of customization generation. Alpha is going to be growing up under the rise of personalization with algorithms and AI and things that can make life just very tailored to them. 00:01:52:19 - 00:01:55:26 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry And so they don't want to necessarily get on their social media and see a 00:01:55:26 - 00:02:00:28 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry bunch of stuff that I have done for them. They would rather get on social media and see a bunch of stuff 00:02:00:28 - 00:02:04:02 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry that they have ...

We're going to 00:00:07:23 - 00:00:13:16 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry explore what each of their features have to offer where they don't. As you know, tech always has shortcomings. And so 00:00:13:16 - 00:00:20:03 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry we're going to try to kind of explore and and crack the door open on what some of those things might be. 00:00:20:06 - 00:00:42:25 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry I'm going to give you what I believe you should choose between an iPhone or an Android phone for one of your children. And finally, we're going to flesh out the age old debate what do we do about phones and distractions as it pertains to education and youth ministry? But first and foremost, we're going to be exploring these three apps Aura versus Bark versus covenant. 00:00:42:27 - 00:01:12:00 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry So let's dive in first here with Aura according to what we see here on their website. And I'm not an aura user, and I did not get the, a trial or free trial to, to check this out. And so I am just going to be going based on what I see on their website. But as someone who has 13 years of of youth ministry experience and is also a dad, I know a thing or two about, my way around these apps and what's, what they're offering and where maybe some of the shortcomings might be. 00:01:12:02 - 00:01:33:22 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry But Aura, I believe, starts with a little bit of a baseline of security. And so I think they're a security app that has added parental control features into it. Later, rather than being a parental control app first. Right. So each of these, you can tell each of these starts and a little bit of a different place. And so Aura starts with security. 00:01:33:25 - 00:01:56:04 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry And so one of the things that Aura has to offer is, you know, if you're here on on YouTube, you'll see some of these things on screen, but something about content filtering and safe search and YouTube, safe mode. And they'll check their history and their internet usage and, and time left and stuff like that. You can do things like time limits and pausing the internet and bedtime and bonus time. 00:01:56:07 - 00:02:15:10 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry They also have some gaming features and things that can keep kids safe online, but you'll see that Aura and Bark are in direct competition, because in just a minute, we're gonna look at the Bark versus Aura page. But Aura has parental controls and they are now in partnership with circle. You might remember Circle by Disney. So Aura and circle are not together. 00:02:15:10 - 00:02:40:06 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry And so with circle powered by circle Aura offers content filtering, offers screen time limits, bedtime pausing, the internet, internet usage reports, and this is I always pay attention to stuff like this because this is what I want to know. Right? So like I'm going to read what this says, get a complete picture of kids internet use across all devices so you can make informed decisions about the amount of screen time that's right for your family. 00:02:40:08 - 00:03:03:29 Nick ...

And in this episode, we're also going to look at our screens. A blessing or a curse? Three different parental controls that you can live by in your life as you navigate this technology and cell phone kind of landscape with your children. My recommended age to give your kids a phone and the best phone monitoring apps on the market. 00:00:29:11 - 00:00:57:14 Nick Clason And don't forget the down below. We've included chapters in the bottom of this video so you can be able to jump around. But first, does anyone remember this? See, this was my childhood internet experience and I was born in 1989, barely even an 80s baby. And this was what my internet experience was. And we had to dial up to get on the internet. 00:00:57:15 - 00:01:21:28 Nick Clason I would spend my summer afternoons on Aim, chatting with all of my friends. But if my mom wanted to use the phone, she would pick up the phone and it would kick me off of AOL Instant Messenger. Compare that to today, where the internet is in our pocket, our TVs are connected to the internet, and we can watch and browse anything we want on there in our living room. 00:01:21:28 - 00:01:58:22 Nick Clason And the answer to every single question is literally at our fingertips. It's a blessing paired with a curse. Technology and phones are the common answer when you ask, what's the difference between Generation Alpha and Generation Z or generation Y? Millennials or Gen X, like the common difference is technology and phones. And so it will mark generation alpha as the key indicator and the key difference to their generation. 00:01:58:22 - 00:02:28:22 Nick Clason And all the other generations that have gone before it. Generation Alpha started and was born and is widely held to be classified as being born in 2010. 2010 is the year that the iPad was invented. It was the year that Instagram was also invented, and it was when app was the word of the year. So those things just simply underscore how marked by technology and screens. 00:02:28:22 - 00:02:59:16 Nick Clason Generation Alpha is. So I believe that navigating technology is going to be either the key to success or the key to the failure of those in Generation Alpha. So in many ways, the verdict is still out. Our screens good, our screens bad. Is technology helpful? Are they here for the greater good or are they inherently evil and are the causes of them? 00:02:59:19 - 00:03:23:05 Nick Clason What's causing Gen Alpha to be doomed? You know, we've been discussing in this playlist link right here the the characteristics and the stereotypes of Generation Alpha. Who are they and and how do we teach them? And in today's episode, we're exploring the world of screens. I want you to check out this quote from E.F. Shoemaker who said this about the invention. 00:03:23:08 - 00:03:44:01 Nick Clason It's either the greatest blessing or it's the greatest curse of modern times. And sometimes we forget which it is.

I'm also going to share with you the one key to getting through to this generation. And finally 00:00:14:08 - 00:00:18:16 Nick Clason was what are the traditional teaching models versus modern methods of teaching? But 00:00:18:16 - 00:00:20:07 Nick Clason first, what in the world 00:00:20:07 - 00:00:27:16 Nick Clason is brain rot? I went to the world's foremost authority, which is Reddit, and you know that with this person, this user is, Sakai said. 00:00:27:16 - 00:00:29:18 Nick Clason Brain rot is the idea that exposure to 00:00:29:18 - 00:00:33:00 Nick Clason certain content can basically turn you into an idiot. 00:00:33:00 - 00:00:55:08 Nick Clason Have you heard? Have you heard the term brain rot? Give me a like if you have and give me a subscribe if you haven't, because you probably need to hear some of this stuff. But according to Mccrindle and fell in the book that I am reading for some of this research on Generation Alpha, they said Gen Alpha seamlessly integrates technology and screens into their lives, and they can't imagine a world without it. 00:00:55:10 - 00:01:03:21 Nick Clason Furthermore, they said Generation Alpha is using Texians before they could talk, and so we have yet to see the full impacts of their interactions with 00:01:03:21 - 00:01:08:23 Nick Clason screens, which is why I believe some people say that Generation Alpha is doomed. 00:01:08:23 - 00:01:11:15 Nick Clason They consume more and more content 00:01:11:15 - 00:01:18:24 Nick Clason online. That is just silly and dumb and stupid. And I think that's where some people go ahead and dub it and classify it as brain rotten. 00:01:18:24 - 00:01:23:05 Nick Clason So how can we as parents and educators, pastors and teachers who love them? How can we 00:01:23:05 - 00:01:30:24 Nick Clason pull them up out of it? Well, to make matters worse, beyond just this brain rot thing, there are some social challenges that 00:01:30:24 - 00:01:40:05 Nick Clason Generation Alpha is facing on a regular basis, according to parents. The top five things that Generation Alpha is facing is bullying. 00:01:40:08 - 00:02:02:22 Nick Clason Online bullying through social networks, navigating their own mental wellbeing, social pressure to be a high achiever and then the pressure to grow up faster. The list is the same with educators, but it's in a little bit of a different order with a little bit of different percentages. Educators would say the number one thing that Generation Alpha is facing is online bullying through social networks, the pressure to grow up faster. 00:02:02:23 - 00:02:10:26 Nick Clason Social pressure to be a high achiever, navigating their own mental wellbeing and then navigating loneliness and social isolation. 00:02:10:26 - 00:02:27:23 Nick Clason Tony George...

With things like skibidi toilet rizz, brainrot and their utter disdain for the state of Ohio, can these kids even come back from all that? Not to mention Covid-19 destroyed a lot of their educational impact, many can't read and are having a hard time with that, can this generation come back from all that? Who is Gen Alpha, and how can educators, teachers and pastors make an impact on this generation? ====================================== 📓SHOWNOTES //SHOWNOTES & TRANSCRIPTS http://www.hybridministry.xyz/112 //MEET GEN ALPHA https://www.amazon.com/Generation-Alpha-Mark-McCrindle/dp/0733646301 👉 STAY CONNECTED WITH NICK YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@clasonnick Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hybridministry/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@clasonnick Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HybridMinistry Website: https://www.hybridministry.xyz ====================================== 🆓 FREEBIES 🆓 Level up your youth ministry game with these freebies! 🔗 https://linktr.ee/clasonnick ====================================== 🛠️TOOLS Some of the below links are affilate links in which we do recieve a small commission based on your purchase or use of products VIDIQ https://vidiq.com/hybrid BEST DYM RESOURCES https://www.hybridministry.xyz/articles/dym OPUS.PRO FOR AI SHORTS & REELS https://www.opus.pro/?via=a5d361 //YOUTUBE STARTER KIT FOR UNDER $100 https://www.hybridministry.xyz/articles/youtubestarterkit AUTO POD https://autopod.lemonsqueezy.com?aff=MX7Vv -------------- 🕰️TIMECODES 00:00 Is Generation Alpha Doomed? 01:42 The Birth Years of Current Generations 03:44 Who exactly is Generation Alpha? 06:29 Defining Characteristic #1 08:17 Defining Characteristic #2 09:22 Defining Characteristic #3 10:53 Defining Characteristic #4 11:46 Defining Characteristic #5 -------------- ✍️TRANSCRIPT 00:00:00:01 - 00:00:20:11 Nick Clason Is Generation Alpha doomed? Check out this quote. It says youth today love luxury. They have bad manners. They have contempt for authority. No respect for older people. And they talk nonsense when they should be working. They contradict their parents. They talk too much in company that guzzle their food. They lay their eggs on the table and they tyrannized their elders. 00:00:20:16 - 00:00:41:00 Nick Clason Now, if you think that this is talking about Generation Alpha, then give me a like. If you think it's like my generation Z. Go ahead and give me a subscribe. And if you think you know that this quote was within the last century, then you owe me a turning on the bell. Because in this episode and in this future playlist, we're going to be exploring the world of Gen Alpha. 00:00:41:00 - 00:01:08:03 Nick Clason But would you be surprised to know that this is actually a quote from the Greek philosopher Socrates, who lived between 470 and 390 9BC yes, the fact that the next generation throws older generations off their scent is not an uncommon phenomenon in human history. I mean, just look at the fact that this quote came all the way back from Socrates. 00:01:08:03 - 00:01:37:10 Nick Clason So we're going to be exploring Gen Alpha, and are they doomed? If you've been on YouTube or searching on social media, you've heard things like they are doomed, they're in trouble. What even is this generation? Who are these skinny, rich toilet kids like? What does any of this even mean? The fact of the matter is, like generations that are younger often throw off generations that are older, and the older you get, the harder it is to connect and have a bridge back to that younger generation. 00:01:37:16 - 00:01:58:14 Nick Clason So in the world today, the current generations that we have living are our builders. And they were born in 1925 through 1945. They are the elders of are the oldest generation that's currently alive to this day. And then moving on, we have the boomers who are in some cases still in the workforce, but all beginning to start to phase out. 00:01:58:14 - 00:02:22:12 Nick Clason And they were born in 1946 through 1964, and probably the oldest, in the workforce, majority is generation X, and they were born in 65 to 69. And then shout out to me and all my other fellow millennials, we were born in 1980 through 1994. Gen Z was then born in 95 through 2009 and then finally Gen Alpha. 00:02:22:15 - 00:02:42:10 Nick Clason They are quantifying it at 2011 through 2024. And so I got the lion's share of this research from Mark Mccrindle and Ashley Fell's book. It'll be linked down below in the show notes. If you're interested in checking out, it's called Generation Alpha. Understanding our children and helping Them Thrive. So let's talk about some of the different things about ...

Hey, everyone, welcome to the Hybrid Ministry Show. And in this episode we're going to talk about better event promotion as well as a holistic digital and social media approach for your church and your youth ministry. And this is actually part two. Part one is linked right here at the top of the screen over on another channel, because we're doing a massive mash up collab. 00;00;24;28 - 00;00;49;07 Nick Clason And I am joined today by my friend Erik with the K Erik. Erik w/a "k" Williams Good morning bro. How you doing? Good to see you Nick. So excited to be on your channel. Love what you're doing bro. So so good. Yeah, well if you weren't listening or privy to the conversation that we just clicked stop and now rerecord on, we talked through an entire, like, outreach strategy, right? 00;00;49;08 - 00;01;08;17 Nick Clason Yeah, well if you weren't listening or privy to the conversation that we just clicked stop and now rerecord on, we talked through an entire, like, outreach strategy, right? You gave out a bunch of games. You gave out a full run sheet on, like how to do a great outreach style event at your church. And one major piece, right? In all of that, in churches and in youth ministry is promotion. We want people to come to our event. It's natural. It's a human nature, you know what I mean? 00;01;08;20 - 00;01;31;07 Nick Clason And so one of the ways that we're always trying to get people to come to our event is through social media. Yeah. Is that not a normal like strategies and a normal thought process? Erik, for the average American youth pastor. Erik w/a "k" Williams Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm totally I've totally used social media to promote events like for a long time. Yeah. 00;01;31;13 - 00;02;03;02 Nick Clason And is it effective? Erik w/a "k" Williams I don't see a lot of likes on those posts. Yeah. And, I don't know, I'm not seeing, sharing and whatever. Yeah, I think I think it's just if, like if you look at in the past, a lot of my social media stuff for youth ministry, it tends to be mostly promotional. Okay. And watching your channel, one of the things I've learned is that's not a great idea because then it's just promotion. 00;02;03;02 - 00;02;25;00 Erik w/a "k" Williams And it's not like, hey, because I looked at this, I'm going to get 20% off my next event, right?
