With this science-based DNA diet 2.44 times more weight loss is achieved. That is; if with a normal diet you would lose 4 kilos a month, with this diet you would lose almost 10 kilos a month!
Genes are the blueprint of our body, obesity is in your genes. In about 80% of cases, obesity is caused by genetic predisposition. This is because everyone has different genes. Some people gain weight by consuming too much fat, while others can eat twice as much fat without getting fat. Unfair huh?
This also applies to carbohydrates: some people gain weight from carbohydrates, while others do not gain any weight at all from these sugars.
Which sport is best for you to lose weight? That also depends on your genes. Some people lose weight most quickly by exercising, while for others doing exercises has little effect. The influence of calorie intake also depends on your genes. Some people lose weight easily by eating fewer calories, while for others this is very difficult.
All of these individual differences are recorded in your DNA. This explains why some people can make great progress in losing weight through a low-fat diet, while others need to exercise a lot to achieve the same goal.
Which program suits you?
You can find out which program is right for you, thanks to the new possibilities of human genetics. Your genetic profile will show you what foods to avoid and what you can eat. The results will tell you what exercise you need to do and what your calorie intake should be.
This allows you to quickly reach and maintain your desired weight.
How much athletic sport and endurance sport do you need?
Dieting not only reduces fat, but also muscle mass. If you have certain genes this process is only made worse. To counteract this, people should follow different programs for athletic sports and muscle building, depending on their genetic predisposition.
Based on this information, an optimal diet plan can be developed, leading to an average of 2.4 times more weight loss. Everyone is different, so it is important to find out where genetic weaknesses lie and how to use genetic strengths for a healthy, long life.
Eat what you like!
You will receive a list of more than 900 foods based on your DNA test, which will show you what you can eat without any problems and what is better to avoid. So you can eat whatever you want!
Obesity and genetic predisposition
Scientists have discovered that about sixty to eighty percent of obesity is caused by genetic predisposition. It's not just our lifestyle, but it's your genetic predisposition that makes you more likely to be overweight.
DNA Expert Weight and Exercise
Of course, it is not the case that you can just sit on the couch and this test will automatically make you lose weight. But it is possible to lose weight based on your genetic profile.
The DNA Diet ensures that you move more and eat less. Of course these two aspects are always good to lose weight, but through the work of genetics you can use and apply them in a more refined way.
Obesity has two causes,
- one is too little exercise, you don't burn enough energy
- the other is eating too much, you get too much energy and you don't use it up.
These basic principles no one will deny. However, there are considerable differences between one person and another. In scientific studies it was discovered that if people ate the same, some got fatter than others. And if people exercised the same, some lost more weight than others.
This is due to two types of genes, the PPARP gene and the Fabp2 gene. Scientists have discovered that there are different versions of these genes.
One type of gene ensures that, when a fatty meal is eaten, this fat is stored while someone who has the other gene secretes it.
In these lucky ones, a gene says "sorry, had enough fat, I'm not taking it anymore". The rest then stays in the intestinal tract and is excreted.
Scientific evidence
On which scientific studies is this information based? Studies have compared people who have the genetic variant (genetic polymorphism) with people who do not.
If you want to read more, you can find the studies here if you're interested.source
In this study, it was found that people with the genetic variant have a higher body weight than people without the genetic variant.
This gene, the PPARP gene has been known for centuries in science There have been 7500 different genetic studies done on this gene, not all of them related to fat sensitivity, but some of them for example related to diabetes. So science already knows a lot about this gene.
Various studies have shown that some people can continue to eat fat without it being stored in the body and others store fat that is not burned as a reserve.
People who lack the protected DNA variant gain weight. The excess fat that is not used is stored for later and this is how obesity occurs.
Does a low-carb diet work for you?
Storing fat can be a reason for obesity, but it can also be due to carbohydrates (sugars ). Scientists discovered that the ADRB2 gene is responsible for this effect. There is a version that leads to obesity if you eat a lot of carbohydrates and there is a version that does not. If you have this protection, you are less prone to becoming overweight from carbohydrates.
Carbohydrate burners are people with the genes to burn carbohydrates and not store them and therefore not get fat from carbohydrates.
So it could be that you are a carbohydrate burner or a fat burner, that you have both characteristics or neither. Your DNA test will tell you.
And what about proteins? Protein is in fact just as important for the metabolism.
Unfortunately, no genetic variant has yet been found for the protein variant. As far as we know, every body gets the same weight gain from protein. So we keep the amount of protein in the DNA diet the same for all people, because so far we don't know if we should change it, increase it or decrease it.
Sport and exercise
Everyone does the same training program and eventually some people put on a huge amount of weight
lost, so for them the training was very effective and for others it worked less well, or not at all. There is a big difference in how well your body responds to exercise;
You go to the gym with a friend. You both want to lose weight. You do the same exercises every time, you eat the same, and yet he loses three times more weight than you. So unfair, but unfortunately that's how nature works.We found out that there are some genetic variants.
- Your body reacts very well to exercise and loses weight quickly through training
- You're having a lot of trouble losing weight despite adequate exercise.
Eat less
Some people eat much less and they notice it immediately on their weight Others hardly notice the effect of less calorie intake. Counting calories is a good step in the right direction, make sure you burn more than you take in.
But unfortunately: the same amount of calorie reduction leads to different amounts of weight loss in different people. It's your genes again...=
Some people have positive genes; eating fewer calories is very effective for them. Others have negative genes; eating less has very little effect on body weight. Still others are somewhere in between.
So it's important to know what works best for you, to use your strengths and avoid weaknesses
The question that everyone has when they want to lose weight is answered by this DNA test.
Should I exercise a lot and eat a little less, should I eat a lot less and exercise a little, or something in between?
From genetics we can tell you what is most effective for you. From the research of DNA-Expert Slim and Motion we can calculate with the help of algorithms how many kcal per day you can eat.
For example, 48% of calories for you should come from carbohydrates, 20% from protein and 32% from fat. But it could be that your genes tell you differently. With this programme you will get tailor-made advice.
p.s. We still have room for dietitians, health coaches and personal trainers to start selling and supporting this product. No enrollment fee or investment required, just be willing to become a DNA Expert through our DNA Academy (FREE)

Remember, you can take the MCout of Hammer, but you can never put it back. And for God's sakebuy some pants that fit.
Taurus April 21- May 21
Once there were a couple of friends so unstoppable in theircamaraderie that they escaped the long arm of the DEA time and timeagain. Then one went straight, selling his soul for a moment'ssuccess and leaving his companion to the wolves. Fortunately forTommy Chong, those wolves had a heap of cash and a six-foot bong intow. Now, unlike his roly-poly companion Cheech, Chong isdiscovering a renewed success and with it the trappings of fame.And all for staying true to his vision. Stay true, Taurus, yourinitial vision is right and never let them tell you otherwise. Andskip the munchies, man, you're not as young you used to be.
Gemini May 22- June 21
Why you ain't stackin' instead of tryin' to be fly?
Why is rattin' at an all time high?
Why are you even alive?
Beats me, Gemini, keep asking those hard questions.
Cancer June 22- July 22
Oh boy, my Cancerian friend, do you ever have some major karma toovercome. I cannot begin to tell you the problems you are going toface in the future. How do you sleep at night? Quit thinking aboutthe simple answer, man, life is more complicated than even I canimagine. Sticking to your guns is one thing, but your recklessegomaniacal behavior is taking the rest of us down with you. Seeyou at the convention, asshole.
Leo July 23- August 23
Benito Mussolini had a vision. It was a twisted and evil vision,but a vision nonetheless. And it took him places most of us willnever know. You have a vision, too, my lionhearted friend; you justneed to slowly cultivate it. Vision comes subtly, with grace andsimple design. All that angel and brimstone mythology is the stuffof acid trips and is not true vision. Look to the flowers and stayaway from the stars-that's my territory.
Virgo August 24- September 22
Virgo, you need to work on keeping your nose out of other people'sbusiness. If the answer to everyone's problems were as simple asyou make them seem we'd have no need for talk shows. Take a lessonfrom Dr. Phil: He who nags the loudest gets stabbed the hardest.Figuratively, of course. I would never stab Dr. Phil. Honest.
Libra September 23- October 23
Quit living in the past. Quit it. Now. You look like a prick.
Scorpio October 24- November22
There is a certain population of the world that still believes infairies. Don't judge them, Scorpio – their belief is just anotherform of superstition. People who look to woodish sprites forinspiration are no more ridiculous than those who look to the starsor even those who look to religion. The trick is to look beyondyour preconceived notions and see things as they really are. Whatsome may see as a fairy may be nothing more than the most beautifulwoman in the world.
Sagittarius November 23- December21
Oh, Sagittarius! So desperate for love! Please, sweetie, slow downand take a look at yourself. You are successful, sought after andbeautiful. And you did all yourself. Don't waste all that talentand drive on the first piece of tail that comes along. You willfind love, I promise. But in order for it to work you've got to doit like you do everything else: on your own terms.
Capricorn December 22- January20
Much like your star mate, Sade, you always seem to be celebratingsomeone else. You Capricorns never seem to take time out tocelebrate the one who really counts. Remember – it takes a smoothoperator to know a smooth operator.
Aquarius January 21- February19
Dick Cheney is a story of success. He grew up in rural Texas,impressing a local oil tycoon so much he was given a fullscholarship to Yale after graduating high school. After theprestigious Ivy League College asked him to leave due to abysmalgrades, he was reduced to attending the University of Wyoming.Beside this setback he went on to become one of the most evil oldrich men in the United States, if not the world. Stay away from thedark side, Aquarius. It's just not worth it.
Pisces February 20- March 20
Oh, Kurt! You were the voice of a generation! Why did you do it?Was it because you were a cowardly drug addict or just because youwere cowardly? Say no to drugs, Pisces. Also say no to thetemptation of three-chord rock and no to flannel shirts. It mayjust save your life.

The Codex of Power Aspects are earned through completing Dungeons or parts of the Campaign. These will be an important part of any D4 hardcore leveling because they will add power to each build to help with survivability, mobility, or kill speed. Because these aspects are guaranteed to be earned versus hoping for a legendary item to drop we can plan out which ones we want to use before starting our characters.
There are many different types of Aspects… Offensive, Defensive, Resource, Utility and Mobility. Here is a list of Codex of Power Aspects that will be useful for hardcore players early game.
This list focuses on options that will help survive hardcore and is broken down by class, starting with the Aspects available to every class.
Check out the HC Build Guides for which aspects are used on a specific build early on.
Aspect of Retribution, Aspect of Disobedience, Aspect of Shared Misery, Eluding Aspect, Ghostwalker Aspect
Unlocked by completing Dark Ravine in Dry Steppes
Unlocked by completing Broken Bulwark in Scosglen
The Necromancer doesn't have any Codex of Power Aspects that help with defensive or survivability. The class specific Codex Aspects for the Necro are focused on enhancing certain offensive skills.
The summons will help keep the necromancer alive. Having summons early on your hardcore gameplay may be a good idea.
Unlocked by completing Demon's Wake in Scosglen
Unlocked by completing Prison of Caldeum in Kehjistan

Sonsy: Marlene Pregnant Morph for Genesis 8
Sonsy: Marlene Pregnant Morph for Genesis 8
Marlene is a beautiful young woman on the verge of becoming a mother. This character has her basic morph set tuned to pre-pregnancy but includes a huge variety of additional morphs to carry her from 0 to 40 weeks of pregnancy including belly and breast shaping options. There are also weight gain and clothing fit options as well as a post-pregnancy bonus shapes. But that's not all! I know a lot of you like to go well beyond the normal dimensions so I've included what I call Trimesters 4 and 5 that turn Marlene into a mega-prego. See sample images of course to see what I'm talking about. If you need Marlene to be pregnant with twins, triplets, or even quads...I got you covered!
There are 40 TOTAL MORPHS for this character and because (as always) I make the head/face a separate morph from the body, you can use other character faces with the body morphs. As always, everything you need is included, but she is mostly compatible with other SONSY SYSTEM packages. My character packs are intended to work as custom figures, so some SONSY SYSTEM morphs may not work perfectly with Marlene. But again, you've got custom morphs here to do pretty much whatever you need with her. You can keep her skinny or plump her up or even turn her into an SSBBW prego!
DAZ Studio 4.2 or higher
Genesis 8 Female Base
Character package does NOT include textures, clothing, hair, or props.
This package contains only MORPHS to shape the Genesis 8 female base figure.
Installation must be for the Genesis 8 base, but once installed the morphs will also appear in the Genesis 8.1 female base parameters/morph list. Make sure to install to Genesis 8 directory only. See installation instructions for directions for this.
Package must be installed manually by user. There is no auto-installation option or function. See installation instructions for directions. If you have never installed manually before, refer to PDF included in this product's zip (compressed) file for help.

I made-
I labeled all my freezer bags with what's inside and how long to cook them so I don't have to pull the recipe out when I decide to make them. I also wrote any other notes like add water or shred chicken once cooked. After the bags were full I laid them flat to freeze. Once they're frozen I can stand them up in my deep freezer and they don't take up as much space this way.
I will post individual recipes and more pictures once I cook them up, but for now, do you have any good freezer meals to share?

forgetting your fear
I have started a crafty project few days ago and as I was cutting some fabric today I remembered a fear I have that I almost forgot. I don't feel comfortable around sharp objects at all. That includes; needles, scissors and knives. I used to cut fruits with the simple table knife because I didn't like handling the sharp one. I don't even feel comfortable that these exist and I usually would get a headache if I look at a sharp or pointy edge. However, today I was cutting the fabric after so many with a very sharp tailoring scissors and only at a nostalgic moment did I remember that I have/had such a phobia.
I couldn't help but wonder if someone can easily forget and live with their fear, was it worth fearing in the first place? and would it come back if I am less excited about the project I am doing?

Are you trying to choose the best paper for your printing project? Wondering how to make the very best printing paper choice?
No matter what kind of printing project you're working on, you need to carefully consider which paper you'll use. Not all paper is the same or will be right for every project.
In this guide, we'll tell you how to choose the right printing paper for your project needs.
Paper Weight
One of the things that you'll want to think about when choosing printing paper is its weight and thickness.
Unfortunately, understanding paper weight classifications can be tricky. Paper is categorized by thickness and weight, but the basis weight of paper is determined by calculating 500 sheets of paper that are cut to size.
The main thing to remember when choosing a weight is that higher numbers indicate the paper will be thicker. 20-pound paper is very common, but there are other options as well. This ranges from 16-pound bond paper to 65 lb cover stock and more.
Some of the most common weight categories for paper include bond, text, and cover paper. Bond paper tends to be the lightest while text paper is medium weight. Cover paper is typically the heaviest in weight.
Different paperweights have different benefits. Lightweight paper is great for internal documents and simple projects while a mid-weight paper may be better used for legal documents and resumes. A heavier cover stock paper may be best used for creating great brochures, flyers, and business cards.
Check Paper Brightness
Another thing you'll want to think about when choosing printer paper is brightness and color. The decisions you make will vary based on your project, but the whiteness and brightness of the paper can have a big impact on your finished result.
Brightness shades range from 0-100 and the shade you use can have a big impact on how your final project looks.
Keep in mind that the brightness of paper can affect how readable it is and the way that the ink color is perceived. Because of this, you'll want to be sure to make a great choice for the specific printing project that you have. Be sure to consider the different options carefully.
Additionally, choosing the right color can have a big impact on your project as well. Different color papers can be a good choice for your needs and can make anything you're printing stand out much more.
Think About Paper Opacity
You'll want to consider opacity carefully when choosing the type of paper to use for your project.
Different types of paper have different levels of transparency. If the opacity of paper is at 100 percent it means that no light will show through it. A lower percentage, however, will permit more light to come through.
Transparency can be used in creative ways and can work well for certain printed projects. For example, transparent paper can be layered with other papers to add uniqueness. Keep in mind that with a certain opacity, ink might show through to the other side of the paper.
A lot of factors come into play when determining how opaque a type of paper is including its weight, its whiteness, the coating, and fillers.
Be sure to make the best choice for your project and consider the opacity carefully before making your decision. Ensure that you make a choice that will be right for your printing needs and the specific project you're working on.
Understand Paper Finishes
The finish that you use can have a significant effect on the personality of your project, so it's well worth considering which to use carefully. Paper finishes can enhance your design in various ways. Paper with a smooth finish, for example, will do a great job of bringing out photographs and graphics in a clear way.
When choosing paper for your printing project, you should consider whether you'll use coated or uncoated paper. Coated paper is more glossy and can work well for items such as book covers or pages in magazines. Uncoated paper tends to work well for more functional purposes and with documents with fewer graphics such as newspapers, envelopes, and letterhead.
Different types of paper finishes can each have a different impact on the aesthetic of your project, so make sure that you consider them all. You may want to try something new from time to time to see if you can find one that will work well for your needs.
Other Considerations
If you want to choose the best printing paper, be sure to consider all of the different aspects of your choice. Here are a few final tips for choosing the right paper and ensuring your project goes well.
- Keep Project Requirements in Mind: Something that you should think about when working on printing projects is that not all types of paper will work well for all purposes. Always tailor your paper choice to the specific project requirements.
- Consider Different Types of Paper: If you want your project to be successful, you should go beyond using basic paper types. Using recycled paper can be a good option if you want to be more eco-friendly. You might also want to consider using antimicrobial paper products as well.
- Get Professional Graphic Design: When creating a graphics-heavy printing project such as a flyer or brochure, working with professionals can help. Consider working with a professional graphic designer if you want your project to be a success.
- Know Your Budget: The paper you choose will also be dependent on your budget. Be sure to consider your budget carefully when choosing the type of paper to use for your project.
While there are more things to consider when choosing the best paper for your project, the above tips will help put you in the right direction.

Every October, I find that I am drawn to books that are spooky, creepy, and a little bit dark-er than I might normally read. If you're looking for a ghostly read this season, I suggest Help for the Haunted by John Searles.
14 year-old Sylvie Mason's parents were "demonologists." They found moderate fame, and public scrutiny after writing a book about their experiences providing "help for the haunted". After a mysterious phone call late one fateful night, they are murdered in an abandoned church, while Sylvie is left sleeping in the car. She is the only one to identify a suspect--a troubled client her parents had tried to help. But now, a year later, as the high-profile case is coming up for trial, the accused killer has produced an airtight alibi--which leaves Sylvie questioning what she saw--or thinks she saw. Sylvie is bullied at school, pressured by the police investigating the case, and all but ignored by her older sister-turned legal guardian. But Sylvie is determined to find out the truth about her family, even if that means confronting the evil she suspects is in her basement.
Searles pulls us into his story with gothic overtones and creepy and compelling characters. The story unfolds in nonlinear fashion, keeping the reader on edge--while Sylvie bravely uncovers her family's many secrets. This book is a smart, psychological thriller that will keep readers turning pages until the very end.
This award-winning book, while written for adults, is one that I would also recommend for older teens who are looking for something spooky.
Stop by the Sioux City Public Library to check out Help for the Haunted by John Searles, or let us help you find a fright-fully good read!

The Victoria Auditor-General's Office (VAGO) has blasted the Victorian government for mishandling the 10-year Myki contract with system operator NTT Data which it says led to "significant delays", added millions of dollars in unexpected costs and compromised the ticketing system's original benefits.
"There have been significant implementation issues with the system, specifically the time taken to develop and implement Myki [which] more than quadrupled from initial expectations of just two years to in excess of nine years," the audit said.
"The state has increased significantly additional anticipated costs with Myki's whole-of-project budget increasing by around $550 million, or 55 per cent."
The audit looked at: the performance of Myki, whether its stated benefits had been realised, whether if delivered value for money, its governance and contractual arrangements and the Myki retender in 2016.
Auditors said poor planning and "critical deficiencies" in the contract with NTT Data had dogged Myki from the outset and criticised the vague and overly ambitious contract for having with poor performance monitoring, badly defined scope, a lack of flexibility to assess contractual underperformance and unrealistic delivery timeframes.
The Victorian government committed almost $1 billion in July 2005 replacing the ageing Metcard system with Myki and there were initially high hopes that the new smartcard ticketing system would deliver more efficient, reliable transport for Victorians along with benefits of between $6.3 and $10.8 million a year.
But Myki was often in the news not just for the delays and cost blowouts but also for slow response times of Myki gates and readers and the lack of a short-term ticket option.
The audit also revealed that 35 per cent of all complaints about public transport to the Public Transport Ombudsman were about Myki – the highest number. PTV data puts the number of complaints about Myki per day as being around 140 (using 2013-14 figures) compared with 190 a day the previous year.
By far the most common complaint was about account overcharging and refunds and reimbursements, which together comprised 45 per cent of all Myki complaints.
In more encouraging news, the audit said the establishment of Public Transport Victoria (PTV) in 2012 had improved oversight and management of the contractor but urgent action to avoid perpetuation mistakes had to be taken because there were still "significant risks to the state".
The current myki contract is due to expire in June 2016, with an option to extend it for a further six months to December 2016. PTV expects to complete the retender by November 2016.
The audit concluded with five recommendation for PTV:
Improve monitoring of the contract before retendering.
Audit and verify performance data provided by current contractor
Review Myki's original business case and examine to what extent the original objectives were met and benefits were realised.
Learn lessons from the review and incorporate them into the new Myki tender and any further public transport ticketing procurement.
PTV must set out the benefits and outcomes of a retender and develop measurable indicators

Enhancing our charity audits with data analytics
At BHP, our key focus is on audit quality and adding value to our clients. The world of audit is changing quickly and we are very much moving with the times. We are one of the first mid-tier firms who have decided to put the spotlight on data analytics in 2019, using modern technology advances to rethink the way we audit and how we add value to our clients.
Over the last 2 years BHP has worked with a leading data analytics software provider to truly enhance and develop our service offering. To that end, we're really pleased we are able to offer our new specialist auditing tool – Inflo – to all of our charity and not for profit clients.
This innovative software allows us to dig deeper into our client's data than ever before as we are able to obtain and mine 100% of the accounting transactions. This offers us an incredible amount of insight, which in turn we can share with Trustees and management.
The data is tested for completeness, patterns in the processing of transactions are established and routine tests are run against the data and displayed to the audit team. We no longer spend time performing 'needle in a haystack' testing but are able to zone straight in on the riskiest transactions and offer our clients much greater insight into their accounting function.
At a glance, we are able to examine any unusual accounting activity, trends or risky proceedings. Inflo allows us to quickly run a set of tests across the whole data set, it looks for key words in descriptions, out of working hours postings and helps to identify related party transactions and therefore allows for a significantly improved audit and a greater chance of finding any potential fraud.
The response from our clients has been overwhelmingly positive. We have been able to offer our clients a much greater insight into their accounting function and really add value, particularly where the board of trustees/management are separate from the finance function.
In addition, everything is much more transparent. The online portal allows for a clever sharing of files with the audit progress being monitored and responsibilities assigned at each stage.
Other industries have long used technology to improve their service offering so we are pleased to be at the forefront of offering this added value and improved audit process to our clients, thereby giving the trustees confidence in our auditing procedures.

Podcast Transcription
Jason Hamrock: [00:00:09] Well, Hey, Colt, welcome to the show. How are you doing today?
Colt Straub: [00:00:12] I'm doing tremendous. How are you?
Jason Hamrock: [00:00:14] Oh, couldn't be better, couldn't be better. So glad to have you here, I'm really excited about our topic today. It's going to be a good one, and I love talking about what we're going to talk about. But before we get into the subject matter, why don't you give our audience just kind of an update on who you are, where you're serving, and how you're leading in your church?
Colt Straub: [00:00:35] Absolutely. Well, my name is Colt Straub, and my wife and I serve as the Worship and Creative Pastors for Cornerstone Church here in Midwest City, Oklahoma. And we've been here for the last eight years, loving that. We started out just as the worship and creative arts pastors, but just like so many small and mid-sized churches, you wear multiple hats. And so I kind of dove into marketing from being the worship and creative arts pastor just because there were no clear policies about in-service announcements, and our social media was kind of weak. And so I started learning social media, and then all these different areas of communications, and kind of eventually became the communications director and the systems kind of maintenance guy across the entire church. And again, been doing that for the last eight years, loving it here in Midwest City, Oklahoma.
Colt Straub: [00:01:27] Before that, my wife and I moved from Branson, Missouri, and I was an entertainer out there for ten years. For those who don't know, Branson is a tourist town in southwest Missouri that, you know, throughout the Midwest, people travel there and their shows and there are theme parks and all sorts of fun activities. And I produced shows in that area for ten years, and so I was kind of more on the creative and entertainment side of things. But at the same time, I was getting my degree, didn't completely finish, but getting my degree from Oral Roberts University in Ministry. And so kind of working in both facets of creative ministry, and, you know, developing the academic side of just understanding theology and everything throughout my 20s, and that kind of brings us up to today.
Jason Hamrock: [00:02:12] There you go. All right, that's a good story. So okay, let's dive in, because I'm really curious about some of the, in your role at your church, some of the marketing strategies that you guys have tried. You know, you always want to try stuff, you might fail, but you keep getting better at it. So what are some of the things that you tried over the years, and the ones that have been most effective?
Colt Straub: [00:02:34] Absolutely. Well, you know, from the beginning, we've been working on Facebook ads, although I didn't really know what I was doing with it, we always ran some Facebook marketing ads for Easter and Christmas, very small amounts of marketing here and there. And sometimes it usually wasn't very effective, but at the same time, when I first got here and I apologize, my browser is going crazy at the moment. Can you guys still see me?
Jason Hamrock: [00:03:02] Yep.
Bart Blair: [00:03:03] We can see you and hear you.
Colt Straub: [00:03:04] I can't see you, but that's okay. So at the same time, we were trying things when I first got here, we were on the back of every telephone book in the area and they were spending like $3,000 a month to have that place in the back of telephone books. And I kind of walked in and was like, you know what? The second I get these on my driveway, I throw them away, and I think the majority of people do. And so I was really excited about getting the church into more of a digital marketing strategy. And so, yeah, we did some basic Facebook marketing, but it wasn't until about 2020 when our worship team started promoting an album called Ovation Worship, that's what we call our worship team. And I really started learning about music marketing. I have a lot of friends from the Branson area who were kind of helping me through that, but that's where I really learned about the funnel system of marketing, about moving an audience or a customer or a congregant from being a stranger to a friend to an ambassador for you and the value of an email marketing campaign.
Colt Straub: [00:04:06] And then whenever I came in contact with Bart, with Missional Marketing, everything kind of made sense to me from a lead's perspective, from lead generating, and we've been working with you guys since, I believe it was August of 2021. And since then we've seen our digital numbers just go up and up every single time we do one of our campaigns, they just build one on top of another with the lead generating. And I just can't say enough great things about what you guys are doing for us, and what I'm sure you're doing for churches all across America. The lead-generating campaigns that we started doing now just over a year ago between Easter, and we did a general fall activities campaign that we wanted to just draw attention to the church, and then we did a major one at Christmas. And then we've recently just finished doing two, one for our church just moved from doing two services a Sunday to three, so we did a massive marketing campaign with that, and also with Easter that we just finished, all of those were lead-generating campaigns. And also campaigns that promoted, you know, visit our website, visit our church, we want to invite you to come to be a part of what we're doing. And I feel like they're being very successful if we look at our numbers and the kind of analytic data behind it.
Colt Straub: [00:05:26] As I mentioned, we were at first just doing social media digitally. And with social media, it's like 3 to 5% of the people who you want to see your ads or, you know, your posts are actually seeing it; only 3 to 5%. With the lead generation, we've been able to build up an email campaign and an email list that now is like 360 people who would have otherwise been a cold audience, who are now receiving our emails. And every time we send out an email, those get like a 30%, 30 to 35% open rate, which is obviously significantly better than social media. And the beautiful thing about it is that without getting too political, you know, at any point with social media because these are corporations, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, you know, they could have a bad day and turn off social media or limit access to who sees your posts. You know, I have now, 366 people on a CSV that can be easily exported, I have this great list of people who are interested in our content.
Colt Straub: [00:06:29] And sometimes that content isn't always just come visit our church. A lot of time we do email marketing campaigns that like if somebody sees our ad on Facebook saying, hey, for example, right now, Moms, Mother's Day is coming up, here's some incredible activities for your kids to do to participate in Mother's Day with you. And then they click on that, and we have a thing called Leads Bridge, which makes everything automated from Facebook to MailChimp so that we don't have to keep up to date with it on the day-to-day. And those people are automatically being put into an email campaign, where we're able to not only talk about our church but also give some incredible ideas of activities, of things happening in our area that kids can go take their moms to. Particularly in our, in our case, we found a prayer journal guide for moms that we're giving away. So like on our email campaign, it's like, fill out this form and we'll send you this booklet, it's a free gift, something we can put in their hands. And it also gives us a better way to track exactly how many people are opening these emails and interacting with them.
Jason Hamrock: [00:07:41] I'm sorry, let me ask you real quick. You mentioned leads, and some of our people might be going, what are you talking about, leads? How are you gaining leads? So kind of take a second and explain to the audience what you mean by that. What's a lead, and how did that happen?
Colt Straub: [00:07:56] Yeah, absolutely. Well, a lead, and I wouldn't know the like, specific marketing definition behind it. But for me, like a lead is something that, if you think of like a cold audience, somebody who has no idea about, in my case, Cornerstone Church and they're just scrolling their Facebook feed and they come across this random ad that says, Do you want to know more about Easter? Or do you want to know more about Jesus? Or we have some fun activity guides. There are some great ways to spend time with your family this spring, this fall, this Christmas, this Easter, or whatever season it is. And that cold audience that has no idea who you are, are now engaged in your content. And so then consider that what's called a lead, so then we can follow up with those people, give them specific content, be it gated content or open content so that they can find out more about our church. It's just another way to reach people who otherwise would have no idea who you are.
Jason Hamrock: [00:08:57] Yeah, it's really cool because, you know, I think Facebook's really about the only one doing this, although, I think Google is kind of coming up with this, but I love that, right? You can show an ad, somebody clicks on it, and then they literally have to just click a couple of times because their full name and email from their Facebook profile are already populated, and so they just click and they land on your website, right, to get that kid or whatever it is they're offering. They're now on your website, but over on Facebook, we've generated their name and their email. Right? Is that what you're talking about?
Colt Straub: [00:09:32] Absolutely. And the beautiful thing is…I'm sorry.
Jason Hamrock: [00:09:35] No, go ahead, go ahead.
Colt Straub: [00:09:37] I was just going to say, the beautiful thing is that we can generate a landing page when they click to get that content. And on the landing page, not only do they immediately get that content, but directly beneath that button, there's information about our church, about our services. And so we can put the information right in front of them, even before they have to get into the email campaign.
Jason Hamrock: [00:09:57] Yeah, I love that. Okay, so that's pretty cool. We're using Facebook to generate these semi-warm leads, right? They, you know, they're like, oh, I'll take that free Easter kit, right, or whatever it is you're doing, Mom's Day kit. Now you've got this name and email, what have you been doing with those emails to try and cultivate? And have you seen any results where, you know, where people have actually, I mean, the whole point of this is that we want to make Jesus famous, but we really want people to show up to church?
Colt Straub: [00:10:29] Absolutely.
Jason Hamrock: [00:10:29] Tell me a little bit about what that looks like.
Colt Straub: [00:10:32] Okay. Well, we actually just ran the numbers, and, you know, when we do our lead generating campaign, you know, say if we've got estimated about $100, we usually put about $40 of that towards lead generation, versus $60 of standard promotion. And just using 40% of what we've done, I think we've invested in the last three months about $1,000 in our lead generation campaigns. And we did the numbers, and without even being able to see every single person who walked through the doors, we just looked at one data point and that was our kid's check-in, and we cross-referenced our numbers between those who were on our email marketing campaign and those who checked in for the first time. And we had, just in that point, we had ten families in the last three weeks that have walked through our doors because of this campaign. And so if you think about that, I mean, it's hard to put a dollar amount of what is a successful dollar amount per family, but it's worth it if we have ten families now who have been introduced, who have walked through our doors, and who are hearing God's word, who otherwise would have not come in at all.
Jason Hamrock: [00:11:46] Okay, I love this. Okay, I know we're not in it for money, but it takes money to run a church and we're definitely in it to help them connect with Jesus, so praise God for that. But that's amazing, you invested $1,000, and you got at least, that you were tracking, ten families to show up to church. And I bet if you crunched the numbers, and this is for our audience if you figured out your overall church giving over the course of a year and you divided that by the number of giving units, you're going to come up with a number. And that might be, you know, most churches, like $1,500, the average family gives about $1,500 a year. Again, we're not in this for money, but you just have to do the math here. So what you're saying is you spent $1,000 and got ten families to show up, now, that's pretty amazing because some of those families are going to stick. Right? And they're going to make Cornerstone their home church. And so that just that ROI is priceless. Not not only just from the money standpoint, putting the money standpoint aside, but just from the fact that these people maybe didn't know Jesus, and now they're coming to church. How amazing is that? That's exciting, that's really cool stuff.
Bart Blair: [00:13:02] Let me jump in here for a second, because, you know, we have run bazillions of ad campaigns for thousands of churches. And the question that we always get asked over and over again is, well, if I spend this amount of money and I get this much traffic to my website, how many people can I expect to show up on Sunday? And what I want to highlight, and what I want you to kind of dive into a little bit here, Colt, is that it was not the ad that got people through the door, it was not even the piece of content that they downloaded the activity kit or whatever resource it was that was you were providing them that got them to the door, it was your follow up that probably got them through the door. It's nurturing the relationship, right? I call those email campaigns, you're plugging people into these journeys. You're using MailChimp, right, so you're using Journeys. And maybe here in just a second to get you to explain what that looks like, how many emails are going out, how often you're sending emails, what kind of content you're including in those, you've already highlighted that a little bit. But this is what Jason and I are emphasizing all the time, it's not the ad, and it's not necessarily the piece of content, it's the follow-up that genuinely makes the difference because you have an opportunity to build a relationship with someone before they've ever actually had an opportunity to walk through your door on a Sunday morning. So talk to us a little bit about your follow-up strategy. Have there been things that you have specifically noted that maybe have worked better than others? Or just give us an overview of how the follow-up actually works?
Colt Straub: [00:14:32] Absolutely. Well, particularly with the most recent campaign, and typically we have like between 3 and 5 emails on a Journey through MailChimp. And so as I mentioned, Facebook automatically gives us the information, and then we use a third-party software to upload that to MailChimp. So we're not having to do anything to get these people started on the journey, they get 3 to 5 emails and typically I try to start from the outside in, so I want to give them content that connects directly to their family first. If it's about mothers, I want to give them, as I mentioned, maybe a prayer guide, something I can put in their hands. We also, if you know what Right Now Mediasign-up is, our church pays for everybody who comes to our church to have access to Right Now Media, which is like a streaming platform for Bible studies. And we offer free access to that, and parents can get on there and their kids can watch VeggieTales or all sorts of great Christian cartoons and entertainment, and so we offer a free sign-up for that in that email. So we're trying to give them things to help their family, to help them better experience life together as a family and grow towards Christ.
Colt Straub: [00:15:46] And then as we get further down the list, like with the second email, particularly with our Mother's Day campaign, we have three emails. So the first one, we want to get something into their hand, and we want to find ways to connect with them. With many of our other campaigns, that's the one where I've said it's springtime, here are some of the incredible events that you can take your family to. Maybe we have car shows, maybe there's some sort of big fall festival down in Oklahoma City, so we want to talk about our community, talk about ways that you can engage with your family and just ways that outside of just spreading the gospel, ways that people can be better fathers, better mothers, and just have fun experiences making memories with their families because that's really what they clicked on when they wanted the activity guide. So we want to give them more of that, to begin with, and at the bottom we say, and by the way, we want to invite you to our church. And then like our second email, which might be going out five days later, 5 to 6 days later, the second one is one where we still give them some of that family activity, but we give them a lot more information about our church, particularly about our kid's ministry, about our youth ministry, about ways their family can get involved. And then by the third one, in this case, we give them specific information about we want to invite you back to our Mother's Day service. This is what we're doing, we're talking about, you know, X, Y, and Z. And so it gives them a very specific directive and instructions on, you can click this button to find out more about how to get involved, how to pre-register your kids to have the best experience. This is who we are as Cornerstone, come be a part of what we're doing.
Jason Hamrock: [00:17:26] Wow! So I love that funnel, and that's what we're talking about here, it's a funnel, right? And so you don't want to be shy of, you know, inviting people to church. But I think your strategy is spot on, you don't want that to be the very first thing because, hey, they didn't really show interest to come to your church, they're just downloading something of value for them. Right? And so you've reached them where they are, but you sort of cultivated them to set that stage, to invite them to something at the church. What's been your unsubscribe rate? Do you know what that is?
Colt Straub: [00:18:00] Let me see here, right now we have 360 people throughout the last five funnels that we've done, and I think we've only had 30 people unsubscribe. I don't know the percentage breakdown, but it's not too bad.
Jason Hamrock: [00:18:19] That's not bad. I think that's a big fear for people, right? It's like everyone's going to unsubscribe. No, no, not necessarily.
Bart Blair: [00:18:24] Let me share on that, I was actually on a call with a church this morning, and we were talking about this. I've got a church that did two different things to generate leads. So this is going back a year, to a year and a half ago. But they did a fall event where they collected names and email addresses from people at, it was sort of like a trunk or treat type of event, and the goal was to take these names and these email addresses and then do a drawing for some Amazon gift cards. And so they did a Facebook Live thing where they, you know, drew the numbers and people could claim their prizes. And so they collected 120, 150 email addresses, and names and email addresses from people from their community with that. Six months later, they did an Easter activity kit and collected, I think, about 70 or so email addresses with the Easter activity kit. And in both cases, we actually built follow-up emails, email sequences, and journeys, for both of those groups. For those that had signed up for the Amazon card for the fall thing, the trunk or treat the unsubscribe rate was like 75%, almost everybody unsubscribed immediately when they got the first email, inviting them sort of, or, you know, promoting sort of the next thing or directing them towards the next activity of the church. We have so far had zero people from that Easter activity kit list of the 72 or so they got, none have unsubscribed. And I think the difference is, the difference is that you know, you talk about a funnel, the funnel language that I like to use, is you need to move people from knowing you, to liking you, to trusting you. And when they know you like you and trust you, they're more likely to walk through the front door. And I think that the people who downloaded the Easter activity kit, not only was it a moment of knowledge, I now know you. I didn't know you before, but now I know you. But you've also given me something that is of value to my family, and so I like you. I know you and I like you, and since I know you and I like you and you're actually offering me other resources and other things that might be helpful for me and my family, I'm going to stay on your list and hopefully, eventually that knowledge moves towards trust because you've demonstrated that you're actually here to help me, to serve me, to provide me something, not just get me to your church. Right? You're not asking me for money. You're not asking me, it's not okay, exchange this, now come to church; exchange this, now come to church. It's, we really do want to resource you, we are going to provide you with some parenting resources, some books you might read, or some blog posts that might be of interest, or activities in the community that you can do with your family. So love your strategy there, and I would say that, you know, in this particular case that I was looking at, that was the biggest difference in those two campaigns, is that one was simply, hey, give us your name and email address for a drawing. Which a lot of churches do, and don't think there's anything wrong with doing that. But when you're actually exchanging that name and that email address on day one for something that has perceived value to it, they're more likely to stay on your email list.
Colt Straub: [00:21:22] Absolutely. And we've tried that, too, you know, when we did the expansion from two services to three services, we did a large marketing campaign. And not only did we try to do digital leads from Facebook, but just like you're saying, we did an event where we gave away an Xbox 360 and all sorts of fun things that people could sign up for, and we got their names and their email addresses. And this is like at community skate nights, and fun events, and we got some great names. I think that a very large percentage of those 30 people who have unsubscribed, did come from that event because they were trying to get a tangible thing at that moment. And the second they got their email, they unsubscribed. But that's why I really do, again, just pinpointing your point there or emphasizing your point there, that…I'm sorry. I literally just lost my train of thought.
Jason Hamrock: [00:22:15] I think what you're saying is…We can go back, and we can always edit this, but I think what you're saying is something of value, right? And it's not like you're looking for a free thing and you're going to run. But if you put something in their hands that helps them with life, you've just built a little bit of knowing and trust, right? Versus, you know, get a free Xbox kind of thing. It's like, I don't really you know, there's no relationship building at that point. Right?
Colt Straub: [00:22:42] Absolutely. And when you give them that sort of content, as you said, they feel like they know you, like you care about them, like you're not just trying to get them to a church so that they can start tithing. As you said, you actually want to resource them with material that can be a blessing to their family.
Jason Hamrock: [00:22:59] Yeah, it's huge. I love that.
Bart Blair: [00:23:01] Colt, let me ask you another question. So what we're doing here in terms of marketing is a little bit unconventional. You know, you're using, for the majority, you're using content that Missional Marketing has created. And so these Christmas kits, activity kits, Mother's Day kits, you know, they're not spiritual in nature, there is some spiritual content in them, but for the most part, they're designed to be able to go into any family's hands, whether they have a faith or not, and be utilized. How have you communicated with your leadership team about the type of advertising that you're doing and the marketing that you're doing? And what kind of conversations have you had with your leaders? Have they just like trusted you, you know, blindly to go and do what they've given you money and say, you know, Colt, go do whatever you want to do? What kind of conversations have you had internally with your leaders and the other staff in your church?
Colt Straub: [00:23:50] Well, they very much do trust me. But it did take, it took some time. You know, our first campaign that we did, it was a very small campaign. I think our first funnel marketing campaign was for promoting a Revelation series over a year and a half ago, and I think we only put like, as far as ad buy, maybe $400 or something behind it and we just wanted to experiment with it and just see how it worked. And so I was able to track the analytics after the fact, presented the pastor, and say, okay, well it worked there like this. And so now it's Easter time, can have a little bit more money? Then it's Christmas. And then, hey, we're going to three services, I really want to put this to the test. And Easter and it's just kind of increased each time, but it's proving itself.
Bart Blair: [00:24:37] Numbers don't lie, do they?
Colt Straub: [00:24:39] They don't.
Bart Blair: [00:24:40] The numbers don't lie.
Jason Hamrock: [00:24:41] And that's just numbers we count. I mean, you know that people show up and they don't necessarily raise their hand or they're watching online that you don't really necessarily know. So there's a lot more, I guess you say juice to squeeze out of the investment you made. You're able just to track the ones you do know, the amount of ones you don't know is hard to track, but it's there.
Colt Straub: [00:25:04] Right. Well, as I mentioned, we can only track at the moment, like we're working on digital connect cards and kind of integrating that more into our system, but at the moment, the only number we could track was from check-ins. And so if there were ten families with kids who checked in, there's probably, you know, 2 or 3 more, you know, single units, or parent, or just a couple, just coming to experience the church. It's hard to tell, but yeah, a lot more than what you can actually track and follow up.
Jason Hamrock: [00:25:31] All right. Listen, we probably have to land this plane, it's been a fantastic conversation. Is there anything else that you're doing that you'd want to speak up that we didn't ask? You know, if there's anything marketing-wise, strategy-wise, that you guys are implementing.
Colt Straub: [00:25:46] You know, apart from that, we still do a little bit of mailers, you know, get print things to our neighborhoods. We used to see a lot more return from that, it gets less and less as the years go by. I think people start to get a lot of print in their mailbox, and just throw it away. We're starting to put, again, more and more of our dollars towards digital marketing. I would just say if, you know, for pastors who are still new to this, still new to digital marketing, it works. It works. If you're skittish about it, if you're hesitant about it, just try it out. Your people are on Facebook, your people are on Instagram, they're on YouTube, they're on Google, and we want them to be able to see your church front and center wherever they are. This is the marketplace, this is going out into the highways and the byways and telling people about Jesus, this is just putting yourself out there where the people are. And it's a way that you can actually track, it's not just putting something on a billboard that maybe a lot of people look at and maybe they'll follow up. We are putting it right in front of them, and we can track who's looking at it, and we can we can put them in an email campaign where we can give them a direct invitation to the church, direct follow-up actions. I mean, it's an incredible way to tell people about the good news of Jesus, and particularly about what is happening in your church.
Jason Hamrock: [00:27:11] Yeah. Awesome.
Bart Blair: [00:27:12] Colt, a big part of the reason, you know, you and I have been working together for a little over a year and a half or two and a half, two and a half years? Yeah, almost. Yeah, whatever it's been, it feels like I've known you for a really long time. And by the way, for those of you who are watching on YouTube, you realize as you look at these three faces, that one of them is not like the other. Right?
Colt Straub: [00:27:31] That's true.
Bart Blair: [00:27:31] Bearded, bald and beautiful, and Jason doesn't fit into, he doesn't fit into that category. But one of the reasons I thought it was important to get you onto the show is because you are taking a very holistic approach to the lead-generating marketing campaigns. We, honestly, I'm not calling out any of my dear friends at any of the other churches that we get to work with, but we're generating lots and lots of leads for lots and lots of churches. I had a call with a church yesterday who literally said, oh yeah, I forgot that those leads were in there. And I'm like, that was the whole point. The whole point of the campaign was to generate the leads. And so, you know, Missional Marketing, Jason and I have been singing this song for the better part of the last couple of years, which is, you know, real connections with real people in your community, a name and an email address attached, and that's somebody that you can start doing ministry with. And I think our own perspective on it has matured and we've, you know, streamlined a lot of the language that we're using and the way that we're doing it. But I really appreciate and celebrate you and what you're doing because you have taken the holistic approach to do the whole thing, not just run the ads, not just collect the names and the email addresses, but now you've gone so far as to develop systems and processes to communicate to those people, post ad click, and now you're actually able to even track who's showing up at your services on Sunday morning. And that's what churches are asking us questions about every single day, and you're demonstrating that. And so, you know, I think you can share this podcast episode with your leaders, go ask for a raise. Have them call Jason and me, and we'll be happy to tell them that you're knocking it out of the park and that we really appreciate you.
Jason Hamrock: [00:29:12] Well, how do you call Colt? If you want to get a hold of Colt, how do we get a hold of Colt?
Colt Straub: [00:29:16] Well, you can visit cornerstone.tv, that's our church website. I don't know if you guys want me to give out my personal email address, but you can always contact me through the church website of Cornerstone.
Bart Blair: [00:29:27] It's totally up to you, I tell you what, if you want people to have your personal email address or phone number or whatever, we can put it in the show notes and people connect with there, or they can just go to the church website. I'm sure there's a form or a way that they can contact you, but I'm confident that somebody out there has some questions and needs a little coaching. And I'm not offering, you know, your services to everyone in the world for free. But hey, that's actually just what happened. So, sorry if you get inundated with phone calls and emails from people needing your help. But again, appreciate you. Thanks so much for hanging out with us and being on the show today.
Colt Straub: [00:30:01] Absolutely. It's my pleasure. Thank you.

India Tourism Singapore office to conduct 'Reconnect' webinars across ASEAN
These virtual meetings are aimed at reconnecting the Indian Tourism industry with stakeholders in key markets
India Tourism Singapore regional office will organise a series of webinars across ASEAN region under the banner 'India Tourism Reconnect' in order to kick-start tourism capitalising on the massical vaccination drive that is happening across the globe.
These virtual meetings are aimed at reconnecting the Indian Tourism industry with stakeholders in key markets and start preparing for resumption of business as and when it is announced.
The first of the series of webinars will be launched on March 11 for the Philippines market, followed by Malaysia on March 16 and Singapore on March 18.
According to a release by India Tourism Singapore office, apart from the Ministry of Tourism and State Tourism Organizations, leading tour operators, luxury hotel chains, river cruise and luxury train operators are also participating in the B2B session of the virtual event.
The objective of the meet is to update the travel trade about the new destinations and holiday experiences on offer in India as well as about the evolving post Covid scenario of the country so that they are prepared to update their clients as and when the international border restrictions are removed, the release said.
India has started the largest vaccination drive in the world and is getting back into business after the disruptions of the previous year. While international travel has not yet resumed, it would be safe to say that the worst is over and resumption of traffic is on the horizon. The Indian Tourism Industry is on a rebound and is looking forward to reconnecting with its patrons and working together on rebuilding the relationships with the hope of doing better when the time comes, the India Tourism office informed.
