Summary: <br> I asked today’s guest:<br> “If you lived on another planet which had more than 24 hours/day what would you do with that extra time?”<br> Her answer fits her heart.<br> <br> Cari Trotter would want more time to look at you. Really see you. Prolonged eye contact. (Well, that or flip through a magazine. . .;)).<br> Cari (and her whole Trotter Tribe) love people. She would love to have y’all in her home to sip coffee and chat about our amazing God.<br> Since that’s not possible to do with the pace of everyone’s lives or obvious logistical challenges, Cari has created online video Bible study series (such a brilliant idea!). She wants to “catch you where you are”. . .carpool line, grocery store, or kitchen table. . .and connect over God’s Word.<br> On today’s episode we talk a little about her life as a coach’s wife and a little about how she found the Declare Conference. At the end of the episode Cari shares some great tips for creating videos.<br> What we chat about:<br> <br> * What Cari’s learned moving into one of the wealthiest communities in the world<br> * How her family serves and ministers as a coaching family<br> * Cari’s crazy story of finding Declare and leaving a house full of moving boxes to attend<br> * How Cari just kept saying ‘yes’, even in the face of vulnerability<br> <br> “When everything around you speeds up, it’s even more important to slow the pace of your spirit”<br> <br> * Why Cari decided to do a video Bible study series<br> * The most successful video length for her purposes<br> * What equipment and set-up Cari uses for filming her videos<br> * Her advice for getting started doing videos<br> * How Cari’s husband helps her with the filming (brilliant!)<br> * This nugget of wisdom:<br> <br> “We’ve grown to realize the importance of the intangibles. . . those things that money can’t buy. Family time. Deep community relationships. The things that say, ‘I see you. I hear you and I really do love you.'”<br> Connect with Cari:<br> <a class="gdlr-social-shortcode" href="http://twitter.com/caritrotter"></a> <a class="gdlr-social-shortcode" href="http://facebook.com/pages/Glorious-Daughters/115503831829914?fref=ts"></a> <a class="gdlr-social-shortcode" href="http://pinterest.com/tb3/"></a><br> http://www.caritrotter.com/<br> Links Mentioned:<br> <br> * <a href="https://theseedcompany.org/" target="_blank">Seed Company</a><br> * <a href="http://caritrotter.com/video/" target="_blank">Cari’s Bible Study Videos</a><br> * <a href="http://caritrotter.com/store/" target="_blank">Cari’s store–bible study booklets</a><br> <br> Have you ever considered using videos as a part of your online ministry ?<br> <br> How to Listen to the Declare Conference Podcast:<br> 1.
