Hello everyone. It's Brother Dylan here. The time is now to let you guys know the great news and several great little small news. We're very excited to get this going and let's get right into it, alright. So the first thing on the agenda tonight is that Holiness Preaching Online has been around for a very long time. Brother Stacey Evans has started that in 2010, and he's grown to what it is now. I joined later, I think maybe in 2015, 2016, if I'm not mistaken.

Speaker 1: 0:42

I've been trying to help Brother Stacy with the podcast ministry since then and it's been going great. I started I'm sorry, let me backtrack, but 2015, 2016,. Around that time I started with him and kind of helped him. You know, get sermons and you know, kind of promoted the ministry itself. If I can finally spit it out, you guys know me I'm very hard with words and it's just very nerve-wracking sometimes. But anyway, let's get back to it. Helping him with the ministry as far as getting sermons to him and kind of promoting it and, you know, helping his ministry in a way. And then eventually I come up with the idea of doing the podcast ministry part of his. You know what he had started and he was on board and you know, whenever we started that I can't remember what year we did, but we did it for a while and you know still doing it as it is now, while and you're still doing it as it was now but we've been praying and seeking God as a podcast team. You know a lot of them. We there were several people that have joined since.

Speaker 1: 1:57

You know, I started the ministry and we come to a collective agreement that we would like to try our own ministry and kind of do a different thing, a different twist to it. So we'll still be doing sermons and having a podcast and all that on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, but we're also forming a resource for the holiness movement today. So what that means is that we're going to be having church listings, of course, sermons. We're going to have song lyrics. We're going to have a way for people to find out about the events Like, for example, pfyc or ministers conference or camp meetings. We're going to have that option for people. We're going to have a blog Devotionals We've partnered with a couple of devotional people that's going to go and write devotions for us and I think that's going to be a wonderful thing and a wonderful aspect.

Speaker 1: 3:07

I know a lot of the movement have asked. You know, we don't have a whole lot of holiness writers that are writing devotionals, and so we're going to be looking for people to join part of that and to write devotionals. And if that's something that you're interested in, please send us an email. And we're all going to be centering around trying to help the holiness movement in a way that they have everything there in a center place. I've seen the burden of that. The holiness movement doesn't have a place where everything is together. In a way, we're going to be promoting ministries, we're going to be promoting a lot of things for the holiness movement, and I felt like we can all come together in a way in unity, to be able to share our ministries together and work together. So we're very excited.

Speaker 1: 4:02

So you may ask well, how are you going to do that, brother Dylan? Well, that leads us to the next thing, and the very exciting thing that we're very happy to announce is that our ministry is changing and it's called the Holiness Foundations. So now that we're branched off and kind of went to our own ministry besides the Holiness preaching online, we are now called Holiness Foundations. We left in good terms and Brother me and Stacey Evans is, you know, great friends and great brothers and, I think, the world of him. But we're exploring as a podcast team. We're exploring our own ministry and we're very excited to see what direction this goes and we're excited to see what God is going to have in store for us and we're very excited. So we're no longer being known as Holiness Preaching Online but Holiness Foundations. Our podcast cover arts are going to change. You're going to see a different logo and you're going to see some other things on our other podcast. That's going to see a different logo and you're going to see some other things on our other podcast. It's going to be changing.

Speaker 1: 5:10

We are keeping the archive from the Holiness Preaching Online. Yes, some of the intros will have, you know, the Holiness Preaching Online intro, part of it. Get that out finally. Get that out finally so you may hear. If you go down deep into the sermon or sermon archive on the podcast, on Spotify and Apple, you'll see. You know, in here the holiness preaching online, we're eventually going to have an intro that's going to say holiness foundations on our new sermons that we post. We are working on that and trying to get that ready to go and we're excited about that.

Speaker 1: 5:54

I hope this doesn't turn anybody away. I really don't hope. You know. We don't want anybody to be upset or say you know why are they changing? Is you know? Was there something going on? No, there was nothing going on, and I just want to be transparent with our audience. It's just something that we're exploring and we're excited to see what God is bringing us to, and I've been praying and really seeking God after it and I felt like this is what we need to do, and me and the team took a vote and we all agreed With. That being said, we, you know, legally were known as Wholeness Foundations and we're very excited. So now you may ask how you know you're going to put this all together.

Speaker 1: 6:49

The next exciting thing that we have to announce is that our ministry now has an app that you can download on Google, your Android and your iPhone. We are partnering if I can spit that out, right partnering with Tithely. They are a church management company and they've offered to help us with an app. When you log in and you download the app, you'll see that it's got a Tiley logo, but our logo is eventually going to change and you're going to see our professional logo, but we're going to go ahead and give you guys access On this app. We're eventually going to have several different resources. We're going to have events where you can see upcoming events in the holiness movement, like ministers conference, the fire conference, camp meetings, revivals. We're going to have an option where you guys can go in and submit that to us and then we can post them to our app. So we're very excited about that and it's going to be wonderful.

Speaker 1: 7:56

Another thing is all of our podcasts is going to be on this app. So the directories and all the sermon archives for holiness preaching online, for classic holiness sermons if you listen to that one, and then also for our children's ministry that is going to be on the app. We are going to be excited to announce we're still in the working progress and it'll take some time, but we are starting a devotional podcast with two of our podcast administrators and they're very excited. They're preparing and working on getting the background of it and getting all the information that they need to start doing devotionals and doing kind of a Bible plan and some doctrinal stuff and they're really excited to get that started. Once we get that going, we'll upload it to the app and we'll also upload it to Spotify and Apple Podcasts. We'll let you guys know whenever that's available. We'll be making an announcement whenever they get it up to get to recording and start their processes. We're very excited about that.

Speaker 1: 9:13

Also, on the app, a lot of people has asked us you know how to submit sermons. I know it was a pain in the progress. We did create like a Google Drive folder that you could upload to and it went to our. You know you had to go to the show notes and click on that. Well, that's going to change. On the app, if you have the sermons on your phone, you can actually go to the app and there's a button that you can click and it takes you to a form. You can click the information in the form and there's an option where you can submit sermons to us on that form and it goes directly to us and then we can post all the sermons on the podcast once you submit that to us. So we're very excited to see that feature.

Speaker 1: 9:58

Another feature is our giving. So it's going to give us an option just by the app. You can click on a button and it takes you to another form and the form will let you enter your credit card information and you can give to our ministry a lot easier to what we have now. You don't have to sign up for subscriptions to help us with Buzzsprout or anything like that, you can just strictly do it from the app. You can do recurring giving or you can just do it one time, however you feel, so that option will be available.

Speaker 1: 10:33

We're still working through the giving portion. We have to get some legal stuff out of the way first, but that soon will be in the process and we're very excited to see if that will benefit you all and we're really excited to see where God's going to lead in that direction as well. There'll be other information on there. There's going to be some prayer wall, so if you have a prayer request, you can submit that and everybody that has the app can actually see the prayer request coming in and they can pray over your prayer and as a team us here we can pray and really seek God for your desired prayer, and I feel like that's very much needed.

Speaker 1: 11:17

Another thing that's going to be on the app we're going to try to work on some getting church listings posted, so like if you're out and about and you're vacationing and want to go to church somewhere and you want to find a good, wholesome church. We're helping Brother David Johnston with his ministry and he's created a website that has all the church listings on there and you can just tap in the state that you're in and area that you're in and it'll take you straight to a church that's nearby. So you'll have that option on our app. We'll have it tied into our app and you can go on there and check that out and we're very excited to see that go on there and check that out. And we're very excited to see that Other ministries you know, like Sister Blue and Mike Blue. You know with Little Mary, that their ministry and resources like that is going to be available for you all. So we're very excited to kind of see what direction that's heading.

Speaker 1: 12:20

Also, we'll have where there's automatic notifications on apps. So if we send out a notification about a sermon that's been posted, you'll see that notification. We'll have groups on the app, which means people can get into these groups on the app and communicate with each other and learn about the classic holiness sermons, anything like that. We're excited to see what that will bring to our ministry. You'll be able to reach one of our moderators. That's going to be in the group. So if you have any questions, you can always send a question in the group or there'll be a contact form on the app as well.

Speaker 1: 13:07

This is all being built and we're excited. It's in the finished product. We're we're going to go ahead and release it to everybody to kind of get up and kind of sign up and everything and then kind of get a feel of it and then the tabs and the buttons and all that good stuff will be added, hopefully this week, and everything will be completely finished by next Friday and we're very excited to release that. So I'm hoping that this ministry continues to grow and be a blessing to people, that this ministry continues to grow and be a blessing to people. You may think well, are you going to be posting sermons to Apple Podcasts and Spotify? Yes, absolutely. We're going to still keep the Buzzsprout hosting. So you'll still get sermons on your Apple Podcasts and Spotify, but you can also access the sermons on the app you can't rise of, not right now, but you will later this week.

Speaker 1: 14:07

But we are deciding to go ahead and release it because we kind of want to work out some bugs and kind of see when you guys start to click what issues we're having and well, so we can fix them immediately. So whenever we're going into, we're in soft mode right now and then when we go into live mode, we'll, you know, want to make sure everything is in tip-top shape. So we're very excited to see this opportunity, this opportunity. So, that being said, in this message or this announcement, there will be a link in the show notes. I will link it in there and you can go in and click on that link and it will take you directly to our app.

Speaker 1: 14:55

Now I do want to remind you if your church uses Tithely, you will have an option where it tells you to change your logo. You necessarily don't have to, but if you're familiar with the Tithely app and Tithely church app, it'll make you another favorite like location. So in your profile you'll see, you know if you have the, if you have Tidely at your church, you'll see your, you know your church there and then you also see our ministry there. So you'll be able to switch back and forth. You know, through the church app if you have it.

Speaker 1: 15:42

I know it might be a little difficult, but if you need help I'm very skilled with Tithely we have it in my home church. I'm kind of the Tithely representative for our church. I teach others at our church about it and how to work the church app. So I'm very familiar with it and with the program and then the software and everything like that. So if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. I'll be more than glad to help you. If I have to jump on a Zoom call or a Google Meet to walk you through it call or a Google Meet to walk you through it, I'd be more than glad to help you.

Speaker 1: 16:21

So we're very excited. So go ahead if you want, go ahead and download the church app for us or the Tively app and you'll start seeing the logos and everything. We really want to see y'all's input on it and we're very excited. So, uh, please do not hesitate um to uh to get on there and kind of play around and kind of check it out, and hopefully we'll want to start getting everything done, um, this week and I want to try to work on some things this weekend to get completely finished and, uh, you know, just work on it. That's my plan. So we've been working very hard to get this done and we're very thankful. All right, I think I've rambled enough. We're very excited, so go ahead and start downloading. Guys, we want to thank you for your time. May God richly bless you.
