How We Help With Content Creating

Content Creating Is Frustrating!

Have you ever posted a video on Facebook and only had a hand full of likes? I know how frustrating it can be! I was creating videos and posting them on YouTube for 13 years and only had a little over 100 followers(here’s my account @DavidGriffithsmusic). As a gospel recording artist I was told that I needed to grow my numbers on social media if I wanted to have a successful career. Many of you have been told that you need to learn how to use social media whether for ministry or business. And yet it is amazing how one person can post nearly the same thing as you and their content goes viral while you hear nothing but crickets.

The Power Of A Good Coach

Someone suggested to me that I get a good coach to help me with my social media journey. I found a great one…the only problem was that he didn’t have my values and was suggesting I follow trends that didn’t align with my biblical flavored life. Perhaps you too have tried to find someone to help you understand content creating but were concerned that they wouldn’t personalize the information you were getting. Many of the famous coaches have such large programs that it’s hard to get individualized support from them. (Here are some of my favorite coaches: myrongolden.com , Brendon Burchard , Vanessa Lau)

I wanted to make sure I create something different. Once I would figure out how to grow on social media I wanted to help people just like me, many who were faith-based…many a bit older and not having grown up using social media who just needed a little help to get started. (I started contentcreatingacademy.com to help mature content creators figure out content creating with the support they need)

Feeling Like A Number

I remember sitting one day at my computer feeling like I had spent thousands of dollars to join several programs and never had the attention necessary to figure out what I was doing. They had videos to watch but I didn’t have the time even in a group setting to get my questions answered. And while as an educator of 30 years I know that value of learning in community I also know that it’s important to have things explained in a way that fits my learning style. Because of the anxiety and frustration I felt I made a decision that when I had the opportunity I would do something different. I would create a learning environment much more supportive than the ones I experienced.

How Content Creating Academy Is Different

In Content Creating Academy we have a team of instructors. We make sure that students get support not only with understanding the technology involved but also with shifting their mindset to be able to overcome the anxiety and fear that keep so many from pressing record and posting content online. We also use proven strategies tested first in our own content creating journey and then verified by the success that our current students are having.

We plan to expand the reach of our academy but not at the expense of giving the support necessary to see each of our students win. Recently one of our students wrote us a note that made us feel like we were on the right path:

I am so excited to be starting this journey with The Jumpstart Program.
My first step was to work with Coach Danny on the Mind-Set Shift and it has been a truly enlightening experience. It’s been somewhat of an awakening for me.
I am so grateful that each member of this team is walking in their purpose and helping people like me get to the next level as we seek to walk in ours.
Thanks again Coach Danny and thanks to the entire team at The Content Creating Academy.
Peace and Blessings

Thank You

Your support is appreciated and I pledge to give you value

I want to take a moment and say thank you for trusting me enough to follow this blog. I have been passionate about music and ministry and understanding how to have better worship. I’ve tried to share my discoveries along the way. Sometimes I’ve gotten discouraged and you haven’t heard from me as much. But I have continued to seek to know my Heavenly Father more and he has blessed my efforts to grow as a singer, songwriter and content creator.

We’ve have seen substantial growth on many of my social media pages. I have over 1000 followers on TikTok @davidgriffiths07, and have more than 1300 followers on our Journey To Worship Facebook Page and we just reached 1400 today on Instagram @DGWorship. I have almost maxed out my friendship limit of 5000 friends on my personal Facebook profile as well. Hallelujah!!

With much opportunity comes greater responsibility so I pledge to work harder to give you value. To this end I am going to begin a series of posts about content creating in hopes that you will be inspired to share your journey to worship with those in your sphere of influence. Look for the first post coming this weekend.

I love you but God loves you more and I look forward to seeing you soon (hopefully on the next Morning Worship occuring daily on Youtube at David Griffiths Music (this is where you can find videos of me singing and sharing God’s word) and on our Journey To Worship Facebook page.

Peace

David

Broken But Useful

ydoctor@gmail.com — Tue, 21 Jul 2020 21:20:19 +0000

Broken But Useful

Psalm 31:12 ESV

“I have been forgotten like one who is dead; I have become like a broken vessel.”

Have you ever felt like you aren’t useful anymore? Perhaps you are a singer and your church doesn’t ask you to do special music anymore but instead they focus on other singers with a different style. Are you feeling like you aren’t relevant anymore? Maybe you had personal problems and struggles and now you feel that people don’t look up to you anymore. What do you have to offer? How can you contribute when you are broken? Do you feel like God has given up on you? Are you broken?

I came by this morning to encourage you. God uses broken people to heal the world. God uses broken people to heal the world. Broken people are compassionate and realize but for the grace of God they would be in a similar challenge as someone else. Broken people are patient as they encourage the discouraged. Broken people can relate to others’ pain.

Jesus Was Broken

The bible says “For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.”(Heb. 4:15) Jesus was broken. He may not have sinned but he sure suffered. He knows what it feels like to go through difficulty. Jesus loves us unconditionally and has work for us to do as we bring our brokenness to Him.

If you were caught up in drug use you can help the person who is still addicted. If you were caught up in a lifestyle of partying than you can help the individual who has hit rock bottom and can’t find the joy anymore in their hook ups and drinking. If your marriage ended in divorce you are able to save others marriages or help mend the torn hearts of those who now are going through the end of a marriage.

Today I am broken, but I am useful….and so are you. Take your brokenness and go bless the world with it today! You are broken but useful!!!!

CLEAN

“Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a loyal spirit within me.”

Psalm 51:10

Day 10: Clean

The body is an amazing machine. It does so many things to take care of itself. But when it’s systems are overwhelmed bad things take place. If the toxic load gets too heavy then we receive side effects. It may manifest in skin break outs or lack of energy. It may be worse.

In Psalm 51 David asks his Creator to create inside of him a clean heart. Right now If you want healing in your mind and body it would be a great idea to ask for a clean heart like David did. But what comes next? What do we do with our heart? Do we feed it with images of evil?

Today, I choose to look at things that are good for me. Phillipians 4:8 says:

“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”

That’s what I want in my mind…in my heart, and in my body. Lord, give me a clean mind and body so that I may worship you well with my life!

I’m on a 100 day sharing journey about healing. Please subscribe and share whatever you find helpful. Also, I welcome your comments about your journey to healing.

The Gift Of Tears

Day 8: The Gift Of Tears

“Jesus Wept”

John 11:35

One of the best gifts you can give is to open up your heart to feel deeply someone else’s pain.

I remember well one of the last times I met with my dear friend Kishore. We got together to share some Korean food for lunch in Northern Virginia. As we sat at the table and talked I shared about some of the painful struggles I was going through. One of the best things about sharing with a brother who I have known for 40 years was the fact that he could see everything through a different lense than most. He could tell that I wasn’t the same person I used to be.

He could see that I had lost some confidence. My faith had dimmed. The outgoing and energetic fellow worship leader he once knew had become very introspective and isolated. And he was moved by what he saw.

That day he gave me one of the best gifts I have ever received. He cried because of what I was going through. I don’t remember seeing him cry before or since. Perhaps it was because he saw himself in my pain. Maybe it was because he missed the person I used to be. Or maybe it was that Jesus in his heart that moved him with compassion.

When I am stuck and reluctant to take the steps necessary to improve my life I reflect on his tears. I know that God made me to give Him glory with my life. And I know there’s still work for me to do for Him.

When we’ve been hurt the last thing we want to do is open up our heart again. But to heal and to grow we must.

Today, I choose to open up my heart again and let the healing love come in. I choose to watch for opportunities to empathetically listen to others hurts and in so doing help them and I heal and give God greater glory.

The Lighter Load

Day 7: The Lighter Load

11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Matthew 11:28-30

When Jesus offers all who are heavy laden to come to Him for rest he speaks to a universal need. But what does He mean when he says we should take up his yoke and find rest for our souls?

A yoke is a device that allows two animals to work efficiently together. If we are yoked together with Christ we confine our journeys to paths that he would take. We emulate his response to the challenges of life as we are influenced by the aroma of His character.

We receive the gift of His righteousness so we don’t have the stress of seeking to create a rightness with God worthy of salvation. We seek to do what pleases Him and he promises to supply all our needs.

Releasing the burden to measure up to societies trends and instead taking Jesus’ two step method of loving God with all our heart and our neighbor as our self will relieve stress and produce peace instead.

Today, I release the heavy burden and choose a lighter load!
