We're 32 away from hitting our 100 followers in 100 hours goal! Are you following on IG yet?! 😀📖🔥

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐈𝐁𝐋𝐄 𝐈𝐒 𝐂𝐎𝐎𝐋 𝐔𝐏𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄⁣⁣
⁣⁣
48 followers in 48 hours! That's kinda fun. 😄⁣⁣
⁣⁣
If you didn't hear, I started an experiment on Tuesday.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
The goal is to go from 0 followers to monetized in 90 days or less AND bless a WHOLE LOT of people in the process.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Check out my last post for what sparked the idea.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I wanted to drop an update here and say a huge thank you to the nearly-50 of you who came over to IG and hit the follow button. Thank you so much! What you've really done by coming and supporting is GET THE PARTY STARTED! 🎉⁣⁣
⁣⁣
You're helping other people who will stumble on the account know that we're legit and that people are interested. So, sincerely and deeply, thanks for being a part of the fun!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Here are some additional updates for those of you, who like me, love the behind-the-scenes:⁣⁣
⁣⁣
𝐀 𝐅𝐞𝐰 𝐓𝐨𝐩 𝐆𝐨𝐚𝐥𝐬:⁣⁣
- Quickly grow on IG and FB by creating quality, life-giving content⁣⁣
- Filter people to Skool where more engagement can happen, and eventually the monetization⁣⁣
- Don't spend more than 2-3 hours/day on it⁣⁣
- Have fun and stay curious!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
𝐂𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬:⁣⁣
- Only 2 group members on Skool so far. (Thanks Alyssa Aviles and Greg Dunn! 😁) I need to continue to study this new-to-me platform and get really clear on the best way to engage and grow here. I chose it because the potential is super high for an engaged, paid community, so I want to keep digging into the success stories and best practices.⁣⁣
- Nail down the end result. What is the exact problem or pain point I am solving for people? This is what I'll create my offer around.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐉𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐈𝐧 𝐈𝐟 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐭:⁣⁣
- Create a free account on Skool and then join my group there. Right now, there's not much action, but it won't be long! ⁣⁣
- Follow The Bible Is Cool on FB and IG: instagram.com/thebibleiscool ⁣⁣
- Tell somebody to follow . Sharing one of the account posts would be awesome!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Well, what do you think? If we had 48 amazing people get in on the action in 48 hours, should the next goal be 100 people in 100 hours? I THINK WE CAN BEAT THAT!!! ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Go follow on IG and watch to see if we make it to 100 followers by 6:09 pm PST this Saturday. 💥🫶🏼

Faith is showing up in the presence of your enemy ‘cause you know no one can touch God’s chosen.⁣
⁣
Faith is calling for a showdown ‘cause you know God sent you and He’s about to show up and show off.⁣
⁣
Faith is seeing impossible odds and still knowing you’re gonna come out on top. ⁣
⁣
Faith is laughing at your adversary ‘cause their futile attempts are nothing to an omnipotent God.⁣
⁣
Faith (and I’m pretty sure some holy attitude 😆) is drenching the area where fire is supposed to fall with so much water you could swim, just to prove that God will do what He said He’s gonna do, and there is no element, obstacle or roadblock that can stop Him.⁣
⁣
Faith is declaring, “There is the sound of the abundance of rain,” when the skies are still clear and it’s been three-plus years since anyone’s seen a drop.⁣
⁣
Faith is finally seeing a cloud as small as the size of a man’s hand and telling your buddy, “Dude, you better hurry and take cover ‘cause it’s about to POUR.”⁣
⁣
AND IT DID.⁣
⁣
The fire came. The rain came. And God did what He said He was gonna do.⁣
⁣
Faith is believing the thing you’re praying for is already done before you ever see a sign of it.⁣
⁣
Faith is keeping watch for that thing — looking out for it continually — because you expect it to show.⁣
⁣
Faith is praying THROUGH a thing. It is prayer again and again, in many different forms, until you see the fulfillment of the promise. (This one is the hardest for me.)⁣
⁣
Faith is believing what you can’t see more than what you can.⁣
⁣
Say with me today in faith:⁣
⁣
I might be feeling the effects of the drought, but ⁣
⁣
I can hear a rumbling.⁣
⁣
I can see a cloud!⁣
⁣
And I’m staying ready because there WILL be a downpour.⁣
⁣
(P.S. All those examples above are from 1 Kings 18. Go read it! So powerful.)
