YOU ARE A
MESSENGER
We’re reaching out to you because you are a messenger, and we would love to include your voice in MessengerX, our discipleship app with millions of users around the world.
In January 2025, we’re launching a brand new feature within the app, MessengerX Daily, which will offer our most personal and integrative discipleship experience yet.
We’d love to capture two to four short messages from you. If you’d like to get involved, here are
3 simple steps to get started.
STEP 1:
PREPARE YOUR
STUDIO
Camera: An iPhone camera is acceptable; just make sure it’s no older than an iPhone 11. And if possible, use the camera on the back in a 4K HD, 30fps setting. When filming, please use a tripod or place your camera on a still, stable surface.
Camera Angle: Film from a vertical angle, framing yourself from the torso up. (Think Instagram or TikTok Stories as an example.)
Setting and Background: Film with a simple, clear, and uncluttered background. Sit at a table or on a chair to create a conversational feeling when sharing. Avoid background noise, environmental noise, and distracting sounds. Please don’t add background music or on-screen text to your video. Make sure to listen to your recording—you might hear things in the audio playback you didn’t hear when you were shooting.
Audio: Use AirPods/headphones with a mic or your own podcast mic or lav mic (like a DJI mic) if possible. Try to minimize background noise as much as possible.
Lighting: Use plenty of light, but make sure it’s not harsh.
Clothing: Wear neutral colors.
STEP 2:
RECORD
YOUR
MESSAGES:
We’d love for you to record two to four messages, ranging from one to three minutes each.
Some topics we recommend: purpose, intimacy with God, prayer, faith, vision, forgiveness, freedom, and, character formation.
Open with a key statement or a Bible verse.
Get straight to the point. There is no need to introduce yourself, and please don’t mention the day or date.
Unpack ONE big idea.
STEP 3:
SUBMIT YOUR
VIDEOS
Once you’ve recorded your videos, we’d like you to label them with your name and your message title. Here’s an example: ChrisPace_TheKarateKid
Upload your final videos to the Dropbox link/folder provided: LINK
Along with your video files, please include a headshot and your preferred website.
All videos need to be delivered by Monday, October 21. If you have any questions, please reach out to Lindy Wood:
