Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry

As we've been exploring more engaging sermons through your presentations and specifically your presentation software, we're talking about sidekick in the play, this link right

00:00:11 :26 - 00:00:16 :59

Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry

here. And this is the fourth and final video, but this feature is the feature that when I saw this

00:00:16 :59 - 00:00:23 :59

Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry

feature rolled out at the Orange Conference and I believe it was 2016 when they

00:00:23 :59 - 00:00:28 :47

Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry

showed it to me, I instantly said, and then sign me up.

00:00:28 :51 - 00:00:50 :23

Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry

What does it take? How much does it cost? Actually, I don't care. It doesn't matter. This is what I want. And this is the feature that sidekick still has rolled out to this day, in my personal opinion. It is my necklaces favorite feature, and it is one that I believe that you can and you should be using in your presentations.

00:00:50 :28 - 00:01:07 :23

Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry

Whether you're a youth pastor, whether you're a college minister, whether you're an adult pastor, or whether, frankly, you're a senior pastor, it is the random name picker and random name generator. And in this video and in this episode, I want to share five of my favorite ways

00:01:07 :23 - 00:01:11 :46

Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry

to creatively use the name picker. I'm going to drill deep down

00:01:11 :46 - 00:01:16 :51

Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry

into all of the features of how you can use it and utilize it, and what it has to offer.

00:01:16 :57 - 00:01:24 :01

Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry

So if you're watching here on YouTube, you're going to see a live demo and a live tutorial and a screen share of it. And don't forget, as always, there

00:01:24 :01 - 00:01:35 :31

Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry

are chapters down below at the bottom of this video so that you can skip around to the ones that make the most sense to you. Welcome everyone to the Hybrid Ministry Show.

00:01:35 :36 - 00:01:47 :54

Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry

So way. Number one, that I love to use the random name generator because as you know, when you're at church, you don't know which of your youth group kids are going to show up on any given week. And

00:01:47 :54 - 00:02:04 :52

Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry

so one of my favorite ways to use it is in our retreats or in our camps or within things that, that have a registration component to it, because, you know, every kid you're taking to camp, you should and you should definitely know that number because you better return with that many kids.

00:02:04 :53 - 00:02:20 :39

Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry

Give me a like if you've ever worried that you lost a kid, a youth camp, and, either way, one of the things I like to do is when we have a big event and listen, what I'm about to explain is one of the things I'm going to start doing on my Patreon show. By the way, if you didn't know, we're launching a Patreon show.

00:02:20 :39 - 00:02:45 :03

Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry

If you're watching here on screen, you can see the slide. We are going to be offering bonus content, and that bonus content is going to drop once per week. And I'm very simply going to talk through all of the different ways that we are using and utilizing hybrid in our ministry, and I hope that as you sit in and as you listen, it helps you to get the creative juices going a little bit in your own brain and in your own ministry.

00:02:45 :03 - 00:03:06 :34

Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry

And as you pursue hybrid, not because it's cool and not because digital and all that stuff is important, but really we're taking our in-person and our digital and we're putting it together, intersecting in most cases, at students cell phones, which gives us an opportunity to impact and influence them beyond the one hour of programing that we have scheduled per week.

00:03:06 :34 - 00:03:26 :52

Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry

And so that is what my Patreon is going to do, this bonus content. But when you have an event, if you have some sort of a check in system, which I know we do, I have our, church community builder, CBM, we have a, report that runs for anyone who's checked in within the last 24 hours.

00:03:26 :57 - 00:03:29 :54

Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry

And so what happens then is, basically

00:03:29 :54 - 00:03:53 :47

Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry

once an event has started, I can go into that report, I can download into an Excel sheet, so to speak, or like a dot CSV. I can know all the names of the students who are there. I don't have to guess about the kids who I think might be there, who I thought I saw, but I know for a fact they've checked in and then I can put their names into the random name generator, and then I can use that for raffle giveaways, prizes, and all sorts of things.

00:03:53 :47 - 00:04:18 :27

Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry

And so say that that spits out into an Excel sheet. You're looking here at an Excel sheet, and you can just highlight an entire cell. Copy. Copy that. Go over here to your name picker. Click edit. Click edit. Pick me. Go to your book editor Payson, and boom, just in case you also wanted their numbers as well. And so now we got all of the names in here.

00:04:18 :32 - 00:04:42 :00

Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry

And and then when I go ahead and I get ready to roll this thing, you'll notice. Let me get this full scree
