This year, I was gonna start a two semester class
in our church, four pastors only.
And the only reason I wasn't able to do it
is because of COVID-19.
I'm planning to start it in 2021, though.
And you say, well, what are the classes gonna be?
Well, the classes are not gonna be about the Bible
because you get everything from the Bible here.
Sunday morning, Sunday night, Thursday night.
The classes are gonna be what I wanted
when I was in Bible college,
which is how to administrate,
you know, how to organize a missions trip,
how to organize a Sony marathon,
how to deal with live stream technology, right?
How to deal with the church finances
and legalities of the church.
These are things you need to know as a pastor.
But these are things that they did not teach us.
You understand?
How to deal with people.
A pastor, I thought we were only supposed
to preach the word of God and that's it.
No, it goes a lot more into pastoring than that.
And if that's what you think,
that's all the pastoring is,
you're a novice, you're not ready to go, okay?
There's a lot more that goes into that.
And I was telling my wife, I was like,
I wanna have a class where I teach the guys,
the men who wanna be pastors,
how to set up wires for live stream.
I know that sounds super exciting to you,
but I guarantee you it'll benefit you in the long run.
I was like, what we're gonna do is on a Friday,
I'm gonna lay out all the equipment
and explain what it all is.
And then I'm gonna say on Monday,
you and brother so-and-so come to church on Monday night.
I'm gonna tear down, we're gonna tear down
all the equipment and it's your job to set it up
and get it ready for Thursday.
You're in charge of the mics,
you're in charge of the live stream,
you gotta know how to do it.
And if you screw up, I'm gonna cloud up and rain on you.
That's good training.
Hey, at least when you do it,
when you go start a church,
you don't have to call some company,
you just know how to do it yourself.
You know all the terms, the cables you need,
the mics you need, the live stream,
the cameras you gotta get,
you go there already prepared.
I think that's great, I wish I would've had that training.
What kind of insurance do you need to get for the church?
501C3, should I do 501C3 or not?
What is 501C3?
Things like that.
So the classes are not gonna be for doctrine
because you get that in church.
And look folks,
