I'm working hard to update our content and move everything into this community, and I wanted to share where things stand. Tomorrow, you'll see a brand new free, open course with "52 Weeks.52 Lessons" in the title. This content comes straight from my 52 Churches in 52 Weeks tour, where I identified the best strategies working in ministry right now. Every week, I'll drop a new lesson designed to take your ministry to the next level. ___ 𝗢𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 If you were a Premium member on the old community, you should now see a Premium tag on your membership here. If you don't, please let me know, and I'll get it fixed. Recent updates include, but aren't limited to: courses, calendar entries, images, and tags. New content is coming in every single day. One more thing worth celebrating: over the last two weeks, we've climbed about 1,000 spots in our Skool category rankings. We're in the tech category which has a massive amount of Skool communities. Those category rankings are driven largely by activity and engagement, so the more you tell us what you need, the better we can deliver, the more you can engage and the cycle continues and your mission grows. Your voice genuinely moves this community forward. 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴. P.S. A quick reminder on how the community is set up. Ministry Unlocked is a freemium public community, so anyone can read the main posts without even logging in. There's also a free membership that lets people comment, join free webinars, and more. And as mentioned above, there's a paid Premium option at $47 a month that unlocks the extra benefits, calls, and resources. I mention this in case you'd like to invite friends or family who'd be a good fit. There's a 20% referral fee built in when someone you invite chooses Premium, but the referral only gets captured if they use your unique invite code, so be sure to share yours.

I'm hard at work on redesigning and consolidating the other Skool community: importing courses, reorganizing, changing the name, updating links and URLs, building out a new course structure, and more. Over the next few days, things might look a little messy in here at times, but trust that I have a plan. This new community is going to look and function at an incredible level. P.S. Just a reminder that 50% of the content will be public and free, but we'll still offer paid tiers as well for implementation, apps, and other extras (a freemium model). I've already turned on 20% affiliate commissions, and I'll be updating the paid plan information tomorrow. I'm pointing this out because even if you invite someone and they choose the free option, they might upgrade to a paid plan later, and you'd receive a referral fee when that happens. Just make sure you use your special "Invite Link" under the picture bubbles, or grab the link on your phone by tapping the "..." in the upper right. Finally, if you spot something that isn't working, let me know with a comment in this thread and we'll get it fixed right away.

Update: Name has now been changed to "Ministry Unlocked" and community about page URL is now: https://www.skool.com/ministryai/about You'll notice I used "ministryai" in the URL instead of repeating the community name. That was intentional. AI is a massive search term right now, and since it's not in my title, I worked it into the URL instead. If you have your own community, consider doing something similar with whatever keyword matters in your space. Also, you'll notice the main community card now has text centered so it appears perfectly in square ads being run by Skool. --- As I build this new community for the long term, I want the name to reflect something bigger than any single technology. AI is the vehicle right now, but ministry transformation is the real mission. After a lot of thought I am currently leaning towards "Ministry Unlocked" as the group name. I'll then have a sub headline with AI as part of the current explanation. Here is my thinking. Names tied to specific technologies can feel dated over time, but a name that sells transformation stays relevant no matter what tools or strategies we are using five years from now. For searchability I will keep AI in the URL for now, so you get the best of both worlds. That said, this community is yours as much as it is mine and I would love to hear your thoughts. If you have a name suggestion that captures the vision of transformation, growth and faith meeting technology, drop it in the comments. I am all ears before I make this official. What do you think of Ministry Unlocked? I mocked up an image to get a sense of the feel.

Glad you're here. Here's the quick rundown: - We're folding in our paid community into this one - 50% of content will be free going forward - If you need extra help or detailed implementation, that will be available inside this same community - This is a "Freemium" model, which means all content threads are open to anyone - Free posts are courses are public (you can share any link and anyone can view it without signing in) - Premium and VIP tiers will also be available soon Right now, I'm focused on moving the best existing content into this community and designing this space to last long term. Things may look a little rough around the edges during the transition, and I appreciate your patience while everything gets dialed in. If you need anything, let us know.
