Love the idea of having a Micro-Church. Greetings from the Philippines! God bless, Pastor Lane!

[@saulpaulkes]

Great help!!

Thanks! Agree with keeping it short. Thanks also for the tip about looking at the camera.

Thank you so much, pastor!

[@sheltonroseboro3935]

Just realized I have your book in the background "Preaching Killer Sermons".

[@hofam-tv]

[@adelekearowobusoye3319]

Incredibly interesting, for me, it's a big plus. Thank you.

[@PreachingDonkey]

Great to hear, thank you!

[@PrPeterHawkes]

Thanks.Lane for an amazingly practical video .I started my own bible teaching channel in Portuguese two months ago .It is quite a challenge to remember all the points without looking at notes .

[@mikeraccooneyes4509]

Well I getting ready to start my studies being a UMC local pastor. And I really enjoy preaching on zoom church services. looking forward to learning more from your video here!

[@PreachingDonkey]

Awesome, Mike!

[@healingyourmind7424]

Praise the Lord

[@cooperchristopher4887]

This is all new to me. I'd been preaching with a camera in the room, but, never too the camera. Thank you for putting this together!

[@min-gentility]

Please help me ma,,, I think am having this leadings to start up,, But please ma I need some kind of financial supports,,, please (What's app [phone] ).. thanks.

[@efrent.velasco1103]

Thank you glory to God

[@houseofgracechurch]

Great job. We are switching to the home setting this week since our state is now on shelter in place. Thanks for the tips.

[@PreachingDonkey]

Joey Williams you’re quite welcome, thanks for watching!

[@chriskeaton9768]

Ive been doing alright through it all. Its funny because ive been thinking about how i can bring positive messeages through a youtube channel and your advice about preaching live is a great idea. I just need to learn to preach a little better and learn more bible scriptures. Thanks again and id be sure to like and subcribe.

[@PreachingDonkey]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@Newgrist]

Thanks for your useful content. It's hard to adjust to this new paradigm. As a pastor without a wife and family, social distancing is a challenge for me. By God's grace, we'll endure this crisis. God bless you.

[@PreachingDonkey]

Newgrist thank you! Keep in touch during all this. 👊

[@monicaken254]

Sure......Pastor get a wife its important for a Pastor

[@LindaHolloman-we6ku]

I love video like see more thank you

[@samuelsibayan5816]

New as interim pastor. Learning the art of preaching.Help

[@davidpremkumar352]

Greetings from India. Thank you so much for tips. I find it quite useful indeed! Yes, surely our paradigm has shifted. We are using You Tube to reach our congregation and even send out videos sharing Gospel of Jesus Christ to those outside the Kingdom. God bless your work!

[@PreachingDonkey]

Thanks for sharing!

[@toGodbethrglory]

I did an online preaching last night and had an interpreter. It was really challenging.

[@PreachingDonkey]

Reiniell Gonzales that sounds challenging!

[@8pilgrim]

Hey Lane. Thanks. Everything you said there is spot-on. What a help to have the things that I am trying to do ‘intuitively’ be affirmed. I have another source and everything you have said echos all of that. You have not addressed the hardware issue. I, for one, really want to have a line on the microphone you are using. Plus the specifics on capturing the video. Maybe come up with some options L-M-H costing equipment. What is an entry-level package for the small rural church with great internet speed but no equipment on hand? I’m literally using an iPad for the message for Sunday but at 32gb I had to dump nearly everything off of it in order to get the production on KZbin. Seriously. Give some techs advice. Otherwise we lose site of the Forest because of the trees! We will spend too much time on nuts and bolts and not enough to time on content. Of course I am really coming from the place where there is no one helping with tech. So maybe I’m the only one who watches your episodes who has this problem. Thanks Lane. Great stuff.

[@PreachingDonkey]

Mike Baber great question Mike! I’ll do a video showing how to set everything up!

[@pastorstones]

Just started a church and i want to start doing live broadcasts

[@min-gentility]

Alright thank you very much for asking me about that... Actually I'm a young pastor ,, I think I'm having this leading to start preaching online,, so I just turned in here if I can catch up something...

[@PreachingDonkey]

Great!

[@hossdacopeland]

Enjoyed the video. Learned some things I may try. I pastor a very small church and we don’t have a lot of resources (I pay for most of the things required to go live, etc.), but it’s going pretty good for what we have. I like the mic on your desk. Is it a prop or the real deal? If so, what brand is it? Thanks again.

[@PreachingDonkey]

Just Thinking Out Loud thanks for sharing and great question. Not a prop, the real deal. the Blue Yeti and it's awesome. here it is: amzn.to/2JmtntD

[@hossdacopeland]

Thank you.

[@8pilgrim]

Since I’m using an iPad and the lens is super-obscure my eye naturally goes to what is a reflection...my image. So, in order to do like you instruct I am going to cut a hole in a post-it note, make the paper just big enough to be a fluorescent orange doughnut and put that on the camera lens!

[@PreachingDonkey]

Mike Baber great idea!!!!

[@mikearrieta2822]

Hi Lane. I am from the Philippines. Thank you for sharing this video. I am giving talks online and most of my talks are done recorded. Can that help engage listeners? I do my talks via Facebook. God bless

[@jesufreaks]

Nice

[@Jeremy.G408]

Thank you. This is very helpful. How is your church handling children's ministry? If it is at all?

[@PreachingDonkey]

Great question! We do a live service (online) for preschool kids at 3:00pm on Sundays and one for Elementary kids at 3:30pm. Then we provide discussion material for parents to go over it with them.

[@sjvtribune259]

I would love to start Online Sermons may u help me on the stages of starting.

[@benedictmashile3570]

Thanks a lot

[@thomaspardhe3026]

Hey brother, So helpful

[@PreachingDonkey]

You're quite welcome!

[@PreachingDonkey]

So glad to hear!

[@kennedywanyoike799]

Can you help to reach the unreach online

[@rachaelgetgood9175]

Thanks for this. How do you recommend positioning a script so you can still preach to camera? Sunday will be my first online preach and only my 4th preach ever so I'm nowhere near doing it without a script.

[@PreachingDonkey]

Great question! I would position it as close to the camera as you can and try to remember to look at the camera lens as often as you can

[@rachaelgetgood9175]

@@PreachingDonkey thank you! In the end I pinned word in a. Arrow window top centre of screen and used scroll wheel on mouse to do a slow scroll so my eyes were looking about 2cm below camera. Got good feedback from congregation that they felt I was making eye contact.

[@chealphonse3800]

Hi bro am fine and you ? Hope Great? The church is great Bro I just have a problem with my son, he is getting wayward and it's draining me away.

[@johndecksalinas4104]

Nice Mic

[@johnowens986]

How can I start preaching online

[@ACommonPreacher]

Your channel name makes me curious to know more about you brother. Also if you can explain why only this name for channel? And would you suggest to change my channel name? Is it ok to go with my name as channel name?

[@PreachingDonkey]

The name preaching donkey is a reference to Numbers 22 where God used a donkey to convey a message. If God can speak through a donkey, he can speak through us.

[@johnearlrance3908]

You can draw and put a stickman at the side of your camera and pretend you two are having conversation hehe

[@hithis3377]

Give me a sentence that I would preach
