Through the end of year 2024, this small campaign serves as an end-of-year giving campaign to launch the first episode of the video podcast in Q3 of 2025.

God's Kingdom Comes through God's Will is Done.

God's Will happens through You, wherever your feet are - Wherever you Live, Work, Worship, Play, and for Whom Your Heart Breaks.

We Overcome the world through the Word of the Testimony. Hearing God's Story and then responding, Doing God's Will.

We are launching a video podcast (and likely multiple) to interview how others have done God's Will and how to help you discover God's Will in your life, wherever your feet are.

Over the past 10 years, I've collected hundreds of transformative testimonies.

Here is one great example that fits in the "Whom Your Heart Breaks" category.

There are 7.3 million single moms nationally. Do you know how many single parents are in your county? Likely thousands. There are 3,700 in our small county.

Do you know how Kingdom Comes and God's Will Be Done for these women and children that God's heart breaks for?

Let me tell you about The Life of a Single Mom (TLSM).

TLSM loves single moms through starting and inviting them into church-hosted support groups. Between support group gatherings they provide access to "Single Mom University", an educational training platform.

Annually, they serve 150,000 moms, in 2,000 communities around the US, and since 2007 they've served 1 Million Moms!

Do enough Christ-followers know about this?

.... and that's the problem!

Our goal is to share Jennifer's story with the right people who are open to God's Will so that even 1 single mom support group starts in your county. If one starts, with an eye on more, then the trajectory of hundreds of single moms and their children will be changed for generations.

I have yet to hear a high-quality story/interview from Jennifer and others the way we plan to craft and distribute - using captivating and efficient story theory the way Hollywood does.

Jennifer will position herself as the guide and you as the hero. She will share the problem you and the women face. She'll expose the solutions through the story of a singular woman and her children. She will invite you to action, exposing the potential Heaven if you act, and the ongoing hell if you don't.

The goal is for each listener to unleash some kind of energy into the single moms around them - whether that's by sharing the episode, or investing time, talent, and treasure to transform their lives.

And that's only one episode.

We have hundreds of transformative testimonies we wish we could record and share right now. Only a fraction of them are in these 45 posts and 15-page catalog. These are lamps buried in the ground.

Our dream goal is for each story to 10x the impact of Kingdom Come in (the people in the story) as it is in Heaven. This mean God's Will is unleashed as Love in the form of action and risk - time, talent, and treasure.

For non-podcast listeners, podcast popularity continues to rise. 47% of the US population who are 12 years or older are listening to at least one podcast a month. It's how we are consuming stories. See chart below. YouTube (video-based) is now the preferred podcast platform.

In the past 8 years I've listened to over a thousand podcasts episodes. I've consumed great and awful content.

I've searched high-and-low for podcasts that will do what we'll do with the preparation, quality, hook and distribution goals we are shooting for. To steward God's Resources, To Unleash God's Will Through People, to Overcome through the Word of the Testimony...

... I can't find it. I challenge you to find it. Please! And even if we did find it, that'd only be one podcast.

So we need to start one. We need to share these Testimonies. We need to start a Video Podcast.

It's time to press record on the conversations I'm already having and turn up the megaphone. Together, let's partner in unburying the lamp, cleaning it up, and putting it high on a lampstand.

I bet you didn't know we already have an amazing team ready. An orchestra-level audio engineer and a video agency (with collective views of 18 Billion!) have said yes to being our post-production team!!!

So, is it a bad idea for you to partner with us in sharing the word of the testimony?

If you're not ready to invest, and want to talk about it, I totally get it, don't hesitate to ask. Text or email at paul@storyconnect.love

If you're ready to help get this campaign over with so we can get er' going, click on the green "Partner Here" button in the top right.

If you'd rather partner without me knowing, which I totally understand, there are 2 options to do so anonymously. Review those details here. If you want to write a check or use a DAF, review those details on the partner page.

We (me, the Board, partners, and volunteers) are so excited to steward God's resources and provoke God's Kingdom Come in this way, through the Word of the Testimony that Overcomes.

Thank you for reading. You're awesome.

Let's Do This. If not us, who?

Paul
