00:00:00:06 - 00:00:00:11 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry trying 00:00:00:14 - 00:00:05:11 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry every single Sidekick Pro feature and today we are in our fourth and final 00:00:05:13 - 00:00:18:00 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry ranking episode. We've already crowned three champions. We are about to crown our fourth in the Live Voice category. And I'm just going to be honest, this section is what made me say 00:00:18:02 - 00:00:21:13 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry had afterwards, like it increased the increase like a 00:00:21:13 - 00:00:22:06 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry hundred 00:00:22:08 - 00:00:26:06 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry Welcome everybody to the Hybrid Ministry Show. 00:00:26:07 - 00:00:28:17 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry Well hey everybody, welcome to the Hybrid Ministry 00:00:28:19 - 00:00:45:01 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry Show. And we are in our fourth section, Live Voice, where we are ranking Sidekick Pro features. We've crowned three already. We're about to crown our fourth. And then we have a final like culmination episode that's coming next week. But there are three simple rules. 00:00:45:01 - 00:00:56:14 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry I must rank each of the Sidekick Pro features with an honest review from ease, intuition, and finally operation on a five point scale. And then the winner I used in 00:00:56:15 - 00:01:02:14 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry last night's episode. That's rule number two. Last night's not episode, last night's youth ministry, because of the magic of 00:01:02:16 - 00:01:05:10 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry editing and the magic of pre filming and pre-recording our episodes. 00:01:05:10 - 00:01:08:14 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry And then the third and final rule is that I must 00:01:08:14 - 00:01:18:05 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry spin the Wheel of Doom provided by Hybrid Heroes, and then do it in my youth ministry last night. So last night I was forced to do 00:01:18:05 - 00:01:23:14 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry this thing that you see here on screen. 00:01:23:16 - 00:01:27:01 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry You. That's like literally the one I wanted the least. 00:01:27:04 - 00:01:35:23 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry Thank you. Sammy's new youth ministry person. Sammy's not even doing youth ministry anymore. But thank you for this. Gross. 00:01:35:23 - 00:01:45:20 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry Yeah, I don't even I don't even know, bro. My neighbors just moved out. They had chicken feet. It was sitting in their trash. It looked disgusting. So. All right, here we go. 00:01:45:22 - 00:01:55:12 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry But let's dive in without any further ado, two live polls. So, just like normal, you can ask a very simple question. Do you prefer 00:01:55:14 - 00:02:08:08 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry Do you prefer iPhones or Android? Put your answers in iPhone. Android. 00:02:08:10 - 00:02:14:10 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry Back to our presentation. Boom! People can start voting if you have a phone. 00:02:14:12 - 00:02:29:05 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry If you have a phone, all you got to do is scan the QR code and vote. Of course, the answer is Android. You know that. So for ease, we're going to give that 4.8. It is so simple intuition. We're going to give it a 4.0. There's really no AI 00:02:29:05 - 00:02:32:05 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry feature for it. And then finally operation it is 00:02:32:07 - 00:02:32:16 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry 4.9. 00:02:32:16 - 00:02:36:05 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry As soon as it's live all you got to do is click resume, 00:02:36:08 - 00:02:49:01 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry stop voting resume. Like all you got that's is so, so simple. So for a total of 13.7 live polls, 137 on our leaderboard. And there you see it sitting across the top. 00:02:49:04 - 00:03:02:00 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry listen, here's the reality. Like you might not think that you need to do anything with social media. You might not even consider it that important. But here's the good news your students, they do, and they live in that world. 00:03:02:00 - 00:03:22:01 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry Like we just had some students create a bar stool of our student ministry account. It's like a satire account. It's like a it's like a spam account, but it gets incredible traction and they have incredibly creative ideas. And so my seasonal social media pack is not done by Gen Z or Gen Alpha, right? But it is done with them in mind. 00:03:22:01 - 00:03:45:13 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry And I will help coach you how to start creating a structure and a framework of content. Maybe you're not the content creator. That's fine. Hand it over to a student and watch what they can do when you let their creativity be unleashed. And so I will keep you consistent. I'll keep you when when things get difficult. When your schedule gets busy, my pack will just keep things moving for you, okay? 00:03:45:14 - 00:04:04:11 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry And then you hand it over to a student and you see what they can do. Go check it out. It's less than the cost of a cup of coffee per month. Actually, if you get the Patreon Hybrid Hero membership tier $4 per month, you get access to all of my social media packs and we are releasing the one for fall. 00:04:04:11 - 00:04:15:17 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry So go check out the fall seasonal social media pack. Even though in this video looks very much like I'm right in the middle of summer, trust me, it's just Texas. Okay, go check it out and back to the rest of the video. 00:04:15:19 - 00:04:21:22 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry Now let's talk about live pick me. All right. So because I already scan the QR code. 00:04:21:22 - 00:04:40:17 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry You saw my phone, already pulled it up on the website. I'm gonna put my name, I'm going to click join. And all of a sudden I am in. Then, very simply for intuition, you just got to know there's really no AI feature for this one. You can adjust a couple of things you can remove after pick. You can change some colors. 00:04:40:18 - 00:05:07:11 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry Of course you can change backgrounds and and size and location of the names. But then once you're operating, you go here very simply. And because I'm the only person in this, you're not seeing them rotate through. But hurray! Congratulations, I won so 4.5 on iOS 4.0 on intuition. No real AI feature for that, and then 4.9 operation, which puts us at a total of 13.4. 00:05:07:12 - 00:05:28:03 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry I will say this one of the things I've told you this before, we have middle schoolers in our in our context. So not every middle schooler has a phone. So that makes something like this just a little bit more tricky. However, one of the reasons that it's not seamless on like eases because we did like a parents join the live pick me. 00:05:28:03 - 00:05:46:23 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry And as soon as the student saw a QR code, they were scanning it. They were going like crazy. And so, there, there wasn't a great way to filter like parents versus students, but that is obviously that is still something just like to kind of keep in mind. But man, it is. It's crazy easy, right? Let's do this. 00:05:47:00 - 00:05:56:10 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry Let's rank some stuff. So let's do rank these burger rest. 00:05:56:12 - 00:06:18:19 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry So we got in and out down here in the south of Whataburger. People are obsessed with it I think it's disgusting. We have Shake Shack. And then let's not forget about our neighbors to the north. Culver's. All right, so back here in the presentation, all you got to do is click on it, and all you got to do is pull up the QR code. 00:06:18:19 - 00:06:37:21 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry And now instead of just simply voting yes or no, you get the opportunity to actually put them into some sort of ranking category. So this is probably how I would rank them. And then you see, it's like on a weighted scale, not just like a yes or a no scale. So 00:06:38:00 - 00:06:41:19 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry super easy to set up. We'll give it a 4.84.0. 00:06:41:19 - 00:07:10:09 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry On intuition. There really is no AI integration for that one. And then operation once again is quite simple, which puts us to 137 and neck and neck tie with live polls. And I have to say that the live polls and the live interaction, that is what sets Sidekick beta apart from the legacy version of sidekick, and the fact that now the live interactive elements are a part of what, like all of sidekick, you don't have to just choose between beta and legacy. 00:07:10:09 - 00:07:31:19 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry It's all jammed into one incredible software. This really is the thing that set it apart, and this is what made me push all my chips all the way in, because now I can use sidekick. I can be incredibly interactive. People in the audience, like as a as a communicator. I use this all the time. It's an incredible way to gain and gather feedback. 00:07:31:19 - 00:07:57:09 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry It will make you better as a preacher, as a speaker, it is. Honestly. It's the basis for my bonus podcast, where I try to talk about creative ways that I implement and creative ways that I use interactive elements, just like this one. Throughout my teaching and throughout my, throughout my night. However, if I in last week's episode, I said that survey says and live trivia were the two best AI features. 00:07:57:11 - 00:08:07:19 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry This is the best feature, hands down. Like there's not even a question in my mind. This one is the best, and I'm going to show you everything that there is to know about this particular feature. 00:08:07:21 - 00:08:34:08 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry So this is called Live responses okay. And so we use this in our context in like allowing students to have questions and answer. And this is the one where I said our pastoral care mechanism turned up by like 100. Like students were now asking tough questions and having tough questions after the night was over. So if you want to say ask any question, that's all you got to do. 00:08:34:09 - 00:08:57:15 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry And boom, people can start submitting their responses and they can upvote things and you can even adjust your emoji. But we're just going to go ahead and we're going to stick with the accept okay. Back in our presentation you can go ahead and you can get live responses going by simply clicking Accept Answers. But here's what sets us apart. 00:08:57:15 - 00:09:27:04 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry Right? I can go in here. I can ask my question like, why does a good God let bad things happen? Okay. And and that's great, right? Like that's an amazing question. There's moderator access over here and sidekick there's also check this out. There's also the ability for moderators to gain access through this small little moderation access with a pin so that you can ensure that the right person is getting access into it. 00:09:27:07 - 00:09:43:07 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry I got multiple questions on my list. Now over here I can show and hide my list. So like I can get up on stage at the end of the night and I can show the questions. And then from my phone from Moderator Access, I can choose to feature this one, right? So I, I highlight this one. 00:09:43:07 - 00:10:12:03 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry Even though I'm uploading why are there hurricanes. And now if you'll see there's more votes for why are the hurricanes. It locks the why does God let bad things happen with the little feature icon. And so it shows up here on screen. You can also adjust in settings like how many of the answers, how many of the answers you want shown at any given moment in time. 00:10:12:05 - 00:10:26:04 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry And then watch this. I kind of like was messing around with some stuff. So I have already have two responses so it doesn't like reset it. I can resume with the existing responses, or I can replace and start new. I can keep previous 00:10:26:04 - 00:10:30:23 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry votes or I can move all votes back to zero. So I didn't lose any of my progress. 00:10:30:23 - 00:10:50:20 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry And best yet, if you look right here, you can move the little QR code anywhere in the screen by you do this one through like through preferences, by adjusting the location of the QR code. See this right here so I can move it into different corners. 00:10:50:22 - 00:10:58:18 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry So like, more often than not, right. I'm going to be doing that with like a slide thing. So if I were to go 00:10:58:20 - 00:11:24:17 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry Keep using slides, I can keep it running in the background. So now I'm using my slides and people can still join via QR code. I can still moderate, I can still allow people in and I can still upvote and all that stuff. And then at the end of the night, I get back up here, I click show questions and we can answer questions from students we don't have, just live responses, right? 00:11:24:18 - 00:11:53:00 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry You can have an audience submits questions, audience submits answers, or audience submits ideas. And then at the end of the night, once I have all my votes and all my responses, I can click export CSV. So like if you got kids answering some of these questions here, you can export this as a CSV and you can use this for future Ask Me Anything podcast episodes or stump the pastor those types of things if you can't get to every single question. 00:11:53:00 - 00:12:00:19 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry So it is a 4.5 on ease. It is a 4.5 on intuition especially. And here's why. The intuition 00:12:00:20 - 00:12:13:14 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry because the QR code in the corner. Because I can accept answers while I'm using other things. I don't have to lock in on just that moment. I can get it going. I can move on to other slides, and then I can return back to my like. 00:12:13:15 - 00:12:48:01 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry Questions can be being submitted as I'm going. I can have a non-student moderator on their phone, allow questions while I still allow a student to run the tech booth on their own and by themselves. Like this is the best. I am not joking. This is the best feature in all of sidekick, in my personal opinion. And by the way, it did go ahead and get 4.5, 4.5, and then 4.9, which put us at 139, which for this episode crowns live responses as the champion of this episode. 00:12:48:01 - 00:12:48:10 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry And so 00:12:48:10 - 00:13:05:17 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry in next week's episode, we are going to take the four winners of each of the sections the returning legends, staples, Live Games and Live Voice, and we are going to pit them head to head and we are going to have a major special mash up episode, so make sure that you tune in to that episode linked here on screen. 00:13:05:17 - 00:13:10:14 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry But until next time my friends. And as always, don't ever forget to stay hybrid.
