Our big announcement (Finally)

[@prochurchtools]

This KZbin channel is ten years old. Some of you have been watching since the beginning. But it’s time for a change.

[@calebvazquez3396]

So if I comment here can we get a makeover for our website? 🫢

[@prochurchtools]

@@calebvazquez3396 details in next episode!

[@rachelmahoney]

Congrats on 10 years!!! I love the casualness of this video- with the behind the scenes views into your company life. So different but I’m excited to see what is to come! 🎉

[@prochurchtools]

That will be the toughest line to walk with this series. Keeping it casual and cozy while still delivering educational segments that equip churches.

[@rachelmahoney]

@@prochurchtools I believe in you!

[@daniellek1978]

This is so cool! One thing I've loved about PCT and your dedication Brady is the desire to want to help the church! Your success as a company is proof that you have a servants heart and business model because you have constantly provided way more value in your content then you ever "charge" for and even if a church never purchases a product from you (which they are definitely at a deficit if they don't!), they can still grow as a church by just following your recommendations and content! We are proof of that! Can't wait to hear more.

[@prochurchtools]

That's all very kind of you to say, Danielle. Thank you.

[@Vegesaurus7]

Dude. I love this. I’m a pastor of a small church in Australia but I look to you for what is cutting edge. Love the way you think and work. So if you want to do something fresh go for it. Be real and be honest and be yourself. God bless.

[@navarreumc]

We would love to be one of those 1k churches that gets a makeover. God bless you for this opportunity!

[@wirelessed]

Love this! Please show us some behind the scenes of how you shoot your videos and light your podcast and also behind the scenes of your coding language of choice for Nucleus and how you make design choices in Figma!

[@zulupenguin]

Yes to this!

[@JessieTrebesch-o4f]

Congrats on 10 years! I liked the casual "come with us" kind of vibe of this video, though I was a bit confused looking for more information about the makeovers until it was mentioned later in the video. ;)

[@reverendYo1]

I love the big risk, and will continue to hold you guys in prayer. FWIW I loved the flashing of everyone's faces in this video. I've emailed back and forth with several of you, but only had a "face to the name" for you and Alex.

[@prochurchtools]

Will be featuring plenty more of the team as the series progresses.

[@lisarevels1883]

agreed

[@CharlieStrange]

MASSIVE fan of this style of delivery and learning about the process. Looking forward to the next one

[@bengquist]

Excited for you guys Brady! Can't wait to hear more.

[@wandahart4802]

Congratulations on 10 years! I have been along for the ride and learned so much from you as a one woman show for my small church. Thank you for years of helping me grow! I pray God blesses you beyond what you could ask or think. I’ll be here for your next exciting changes! 🙏🏽

[@stephanieelenbaas]

I'm intrigued as to what the behind-the-scenes things will entail - maybe will help us learn how you collaborate as a team and as creatives? :D

[@santiagomaderavillegas1305]

You are an inspiration for all this body of Christ who is wanting to dedicate all the skills to the church growing! Thank you so much for all the education and may the Lord keep guiding your life, family and company 😊

🙏💜

[@ChidiUdumukwu]

Congratulations Brady. Been following you since 2016 and truly I have learnt a whole lot from you and your team. You attention to detail is top notch, how you carry the things of God and the church. From when it was just pro church tools belong churches with video announcements to having establishing nucleus and then till now I am truly proud of your growth. #AskBrady Show and One video I would never forget and that has changed my style of video announcements would be the one where you talked about how to shoot video announcements and how to improve next steps. Used it over and over and it has been a blessing and great help to me. I have learnt a lot from PCT and from you. I pray for more growth for you and the Pro Church tools team and wisdom and cheers to another 10 great years here. God bless you🎉🎉❤❤ ❤

[@prochurchtools]

Thank you for sharing all of that!

[@JasonRaitzSpeaker]

Couldn't love anymore! Thank you so much for all you do for the Church!

[@amandahertzler9140]

I appreciate all of your videos/podcasts so much! They've helped me pretty much single-handedly run our church's media/communications for years. This new video format is fun and refreshing. Maybe you could do one that is filmed just with a phone? Most of us are working with limited equipment, I'd love to see what you can pull together with the basics because I'm sure it'd still be fantastic, but also could spark some fresh ideas.

[@craighelmick]

That’s so exciting!!! Congratulations!!! I’ve been following you all for years! You all have shaped how I view church communications and using social media to do Ministry rather than promote Ministry. This entire time has been learning and being equipped to do Ministry. And finally I began my role as the Production and Communications Director for my church last week and watching you all also go through change and transition makes me so excited to try new things! Praying for y’all and your journey. Thanks for equipping and teaching me through out my journey!

[@prochurchtools]

Appreciate the prayers and support, Craig!

[@nate.a]

Congratulations on 10 years, Brady! 🎉 I love the new format. Having worked in marketing for another church brand, I’ve always admired how you consistently produce high-quality content that sets a high standard not just in our space, but across various industries. Faith-based organizations are often criticized for being iterative creatively, but you truly create unique value and inspire meaningful discussions with everything you do. I’m excited to continue following your journey.

[@prochurchtools]

Very, very kind things to say, Nate. Thank you!

[@ngcommunitychurch]

Congratulations PCT on 10 years! Thanks for all the great advice and help Brady and team have provided

[@prochurchtools]

Much appreciated!

[@Rev.Brian.Gillispie]

I start my first lead pastor position next week, and your videos have been great prep! Our website definitely needs a makeover!

[@philsantillan]

Excited to see where this go. Been a long time viewer - started watching when we launched our church 10 years ago :) I have no suggestions but just wanted to cheer you on all the way from the great state of Minnesota!

[@lindamolitor9884]

Congratulations on 10 years. You have been an inspiration. Blessings as you move forward. It will be fun to see where God leads you.

[@PaulAmlin]

So happy for you, Brady and the whole team! I'm one of those old guys who's been following along and learning a lot. I'm in my 3rd different pastoral call since I started watching. Blessings to you and your team for many more years of success.

[@prochurchtools]

Thanks, Paul!

[@sethworthenmusic]

Congrats! Love the new format! For some of us who are newer to the channel, this is the first time I’ve even known there were other employees much less their name and face. Great job!

[@prochurchtools]

Love to hear that. That’s why we’re doing it!

[@yourneighborkevin]

This is a great ministry and a great way to do some outreach for your business. Also, that is the most "we all grew up in youth group together" looking bunch of folx I have ever seen. Keep it up church kids! Represent!

[@prochurchtools]

😂

[@lukequanbeck]

Frankly, you’ve mastered the talking heads format, storytelling, and persona. I’ve only been watching the channel for maybe the last three years. You’ve given excellent advice that has tangibly benefitted the Christian college where I work. I love the heart behind what you do. It’s not all about the gear or the tools, but the story we tell as Christians. I’m looking forward to what’s ahead on this channel.

[@kurtgebhards4392]

Wow, well done, Brady and team. A fantastic way to illustrate effective communication. A tremendously effective living picture of a way to do it differently. Looking forward to seeing how your incorporate more content in a similar form. Grateful for your service and help with the Grove Bible Chapel- Kurt

[@prochurchtools]

Grateful for those words, Kurt.

[@marcustheknight]

I am personally so excited about this new season of the Pro Church Tools life! I am in love with all the visual branding for you guys, so being able to incorporate as much of that into your videos as much as possible is always gonna be a big plus for me. I would love to see how your process works for staging videos, for photo shoots, for graphic design….all those lovely things!

[@tonilucas3703]

The driving force for my long years in the workplace was the quote from Ella Fitzgerald, "Opportunity only knocks once." Bravo, Brady Shearer, for taking this chance. Now - how can my church get one of these free makeovers? We surely do need it.

[@prochurchtools]

Stay tuned to the next episode!

[@revceverson]

This is so cool! I've been with you for the whole journey since I started out doing a new church plant in TX. I'm at an established church now with a major obstacle in front of us, but what I've learned from you has helped me grow as a pastor! Thank you!

[@prochurchtools]

Privileged to be part of your journey 🙏

[@christumccedarmill]

Congrats Brady and the PCT Team. Can't wait to see what you guys do over the next 10 years. Rock on!

[@joelbrigham392]

Super excited! Look forward to the new direction with both the website revamps and the channel. You can feel it in this video, so good! Appreciate all you've learned and taught us on the go these last 10 years. Would love to have a revamp of our website, but I guess I have to wait till next video to find out how to apply. Thanks Brady and Pro Church Tools Team!

[@prochurchtools]

All the details for makeovers in the next one. And we’ll have a way for viewers of that video to get priority access as well.

[@tonymosti]

An OG watcher and learner here! 🙋‍♂ What I'm seeing and have been noticing for a few years now with PCT is an "ease" of communication. Let me explain: In the early days it was more about getting vital tools to the masses of us in ministry that had very little understanding of tech as well as best communication practices and how they helped create more onramps for Jesus. The channel helped. The channel instructed. The channel was, though extremely informative, a bit "cold." THEN...a few years ago we started to see a more "we know each other now" vibe happening. The channel began to be less about what everyone doesn't know and needs to implement, and bend towards WHY these things are important and how the PCT family cares about making that possible for us. Bullet points became conversations, and hard stats became benchmarks for opportunities. In short, we got to know you. Relational equity went up and we trust our friend Brady to help us. This new "inside look" feels like we all decided to join the team. Congrats. God is using you all. We're the proof. 🤍

[@prochurchtools]

Awe thanks, Tony 🤝

[@VISUALCLICKMEDIA]

💯 accurate

[@ericmurray948]

I have been watching for years. I love the content. Really like this new video with a more "behind the scenes" look. Very cool and i can't wait for more.

I like all the behind the scenes stuff here, it's cool to see what goes on at Pro Church Tools!

[@revmarkmcdonald]

Congratulations on 10 years of service to the church. You have helped out so many churches and ministries through your content. I've been learning from you and the team in both podcast and KZbin formats. It was nice to see a casual behind-the-scenes video as a long-term follower. I would encourage you to do some back-to-basics videos for new followers and as a refresher to long-term followers.

[@jeff.hrdz__]

I've been following you guys since the graphic designer on our small church school media team gave me (the propresenter kid), your bundle of templates and tutorials for photoshop back in 2014. And for at least half that time (especially when you moved into the office), I've been wanting more and more BTS content. So I'm excited for this!

[@prochurchtools]

From the Church Graphics Handbook days! Appreciate the support, Jeff.

[@justdari633]

98% of what I watch on KZbin are behind the scenes videos! Stoked for this!

[@prochurchtools]

Love to hear it!

[@johnferland5404]

This new video format is amazing! As an entrepreneur and a believer and a web developer it's amazing to hear about the journey, how things have gone, what's successful and not and where you all are headed. I think it would be great to do at least a series of these casting vision for the company and the future of where you are headed! Great video. My favorite you have done so far.

[@zachstewart95]

The new format of video is what I have always preferred to watch. it's a little more raw but still polished. Make sense? haha Here at Heartland Church in Paducah, Ky, we love y'all's content. Thanks for everything you do Brady and team!

[@DarrenRowse]

Congratulations. Looking forward to watching things evolve.

[@AZ-pp5qs]

Our small church would love this. Looking forward to it.

[@jwsbx]

I’m here for the changes! Must take more effort to produce these but I watched it without skips. 🙏

[@prochurchtools]

Big, big undertaking. Part of why we’ve never fully gone in with the idea until now.

Thanks for all the years of hard work and dedication. I've gleaned so much wisdom from your ministry and businesses. Question. What is Mr. Rolly, and where can I get one?

[@prochurchtools]

Mr. Rolley is a Samsung Sero 😄

[@marriedGary]

Congratulations on the 10 years. I’ve loved following you for just about that long when I started in full time ministry. I loved the format of this video. Can’t wait for more. I love behind the scenes. For me, it’s not just products I’ve loved, it’s your heart behind them and you’ve always been upfront and honest, this is a perfect next step to carry on that trend and influence. It helps all of us church leaders to lead better.

[@prochurchtools]

Bless, Gary. Thanks for all the support all these years.

[@christianmabaso1614]

I love to see God move in the lives of everyone more specifically, young Christian entrepreneurs and even better Christians running a business that glorifies God! Thanks Pro Church Media, pursuing this God given vision has helped so many of God's people follow the vision God gave them in God's ministry. I'm so excited for my church to be involved in the website makeover! Praise God❤️

Congrats on the new direction! I have to say, ever since I dropped Wordpress in favor of Nucleus, my life has just gotten better. Oh, and our church website looks even better too. These kinds of videos are the best. More vlog-style, please! Also, I know this is your channel, but I'd love to see more of your team featured in future videos and even hear from them on various church media topics.

Congratulations on 10 years! I always enjoy hearing about the process you've gone through in starting at a church and being told "Do digital stuff." I find myself in the same spot. I started 5 years ago at my church as "the young guy who should be able to do Youth Ministry" to now trying to take the church into the digital age and use our website and social media to DO ministry. Thankful for all your work and the expertise that you have shared!

Really pumped for the next stage of the company! You guys continue to crush it and while it may appear unorthodox to the partners, I think it’ll still be a massive win one way or another for you all. Also, loving the vlog aspect back on the channel! Of course, gotta throw this in for old times sake, Viva La Blinds Resistance! lol 😂

[@uyiedivri6653]

Wow! I am so inspired by your generosity! I know your niche is churches, but hopefully you will believe me when I say you taught this eCommerce Bookkeeper how to do social media. I literally follow the social media calendar. Still navigating how to do vertical videos and videos in general, but I cannot believe the progress I have made since finding your channel. THANK YOU

Very cool. Speaks to your intelligence that you were able to translate that over to a different industry!

Love the vlog style content. Congrats on 10 years!

[@biblicalmeditation8196]

Congratulations on 10 years! I’ve always found your videos helpful. And just this year me and another lay person at my church we were able to prayerfully convince our church council to rebuild our website with nucleus. I love the nucleus platform and how easy you made it for churches to build a website, I was always wondering, have you ever or have you ever thought about making the nucleus program available for Christian entrepreneurs to build their website as well? May God continue to bless your business and your ministry team!

[@prochurchtools]

Haven’t considered that too much! Despite proclaiming the same faith, I’d say most churches and Christian entrepreneurs have very different organizational needs when it comes to websites. So there isn’t too much overlap. And we wanna stay focused on churches.

[@biblicalmeditation8196]

Thank you for your reply and your very clear explanation on why you choose to focus on churches only. ❤😊

[@sethwengermusic]

Thanks for all you do! Such a gift to the church

Cool beans. I started watching when I was in comms at Peoples back in 2014-2018. Excited to see how it evolves.

[@anonymousaccount100]

Sounds scary and exciting at the same time! In terms of the direction of the channel, do you mean to say that you'll be showing more of the behind-the-scenes or like semi-vlog style? Kind of like what this video looked like? Anyways, excited for this project and to see where it goes!

[@prochurchtools]

This style of video going forward a lot more!

[@anonymousaccount100]

​@@prochurchtools Wow! Don't take it as discouragement regarding previous style as I've learned so much from your channel, but I'm actually more excited to follow the channel now with the new direction. As a fellow content creator for church who values your former type of videos, this is a different angle that seems more fun in that personal and BTS aspect as well. Can't wait! Thanks for responding

Love this style of video! I actually had the attention span to watch the whole thing! lol!! 😅🤣

[@chrisdavis2540]

Hey there, Love the changes to nucleus and all that you’re doing! Have you moved away from the dual website framework concept? Is there a video where you talk about this?

[@prochurchtools]

It’s still a concept that works. But we found over the years that it wasn’t sustainable for most smaller churches. Especially as apps and PCO’s Church Center became more prevalent. A successful strategy has to be a sustainable strategy.

[@TheCreateOutdoors]

Ah yes, just as I finished revamping our church's website. Congrats to whoever gets this awesome deal!

[@lukethecontentpastor]

1000 church websites... That's not a small project. I built over 900 over 3.5 years for the SaaS company I worked for. Pro Church Tools is blessed and able to do this. It's inspiring to see and follow y'all's journey as a young entrepreneur trying to help churches out myself. Lets keep equipping churches and expanding the kingdom.

[@matthewpaulphoto]

Love the new direction. I’m here for it

[@bhails]

Pro Church tools has saved me so much time and allowed me to pastor instead of worrying about websites, social Media post and A giving platform. When I stepped into tmy role as associate Pastor at my church I knew I had to change how he did social media and update our website. Thankfully for me, one of the first videos I found was Brady. You guys are the best! Now I'm the lead pastor and to have less to worry about because of what you guys do.

[@prochurchtools]

Too kind, man!

[@MrAlwalrus]

I just got distracted by how you cut your apples - what's happening with the core. So much good stuff still there...

[@prochurchtools]

Yeah, that's what Tristan's wife said too. I'm open to learning more. Anytime I cut it closer I get core in the slice.

[@2727BROOKLYN]

[@damenmoore]

Loved the vloggyness of this. Excited for the new direction for PCT. Brady, how do you like the model 3 performance?

[@prochurchtools]

Best car I've owned. I'm in year five with it. Done long road trips. It's also my daily. All I've done is swapped the tires and changed the cabin filter in that time. Neve taken it in for any kind of issue. I think the autopilot is overrated. And I rarely use it.

[@peterduke947]

Wonderful Kingdom mindset! God Bless you guys!

[@BrianMays1]

I think the makeovers are a great idea to get more effective sites to churches, but is there any mention of the monthly hosting fee they will have to pay after that to use that new site? I'm in some small church groups and that came up. I notice it's in the FAQ but not in the video.

[@prochurchtools]

@@BrianMays1 It’s in the FAQs. It’s also front and center during your application process. You must agree to the terms of the makeover before proceeding so everything is crystal clear.

[@BrianMays1]

​@@prochurchtools Thanks for responding! I appreciate it. It had gotten me thinking about people like my mom or a former pastor of a previous church who might get excited to see "Free" up front and miss the details.

[@prochurchtools]

@@BrianMays1 The reality is every website has two costs. The upfront build cost (usually a large, lump sump) and the ongoing hosting cost (a recurring, small cost). The purpose of makeovers is to shoulder the burden of the large upfront cost. But it would be impossible to then carry the cost of indefinite hosting for every church from there. It's very clear in the application what's all included so there are no surprises :)

[@NEWLIFEMAINE]

We use Nucleus and love it! Now, I would like to address the lunatic who was eating a soft pretzel with a fork and knife: who hurt you?
