my friend Spencer Nakamura who is experiencing a lot of fruitfulness on social media as of late thanks for being here what’s that been like what is that like right now in this season to look at it and go okay this is actually starting to work Ministry wise this is actually starting to work on social media you’re seeing the messages spread a few of your Clips have gone viral what goes through your mind in this kind of a season yeah it’s interesting I feel like I thought it would feel different than it does and
you’ll probably relate with this a little bit where I think sometimes when we’re dreaming and we’re thinking of what a season of life will be like you know so when I started with YouTube it was okay I I there’s goals in mind I think I want to hit this many subscribers whatever that looks like but it’s funny because as I’ve gotten to it I I’ve never stopped feeling like oh well it’s crazy that people want to hear what I have to say and and honestly it’s like and I hope I never lose that to be honest I hope I never get to a place
where I’m expecting people to you want to always be grateful for that opport I always want to have a grateful Spirit but it’s interesting because I thought I would feel certain things at 10,000 25,000 50,000 and uh you know we’re actually I’m actually about 50 subscribers right now subscribers away from 100,000 as we record this right now you’re 50 subscribers away subscribers away so um I mean I expect to get it today which is amazing but it’s it’s so interesting that I thought it would feel a lot different but in reality hitting
those markers is obviously it’s all by the grace of God I thank God I’m so thankful to be in that season but at the the same time the fact that I hit a number makes me really it doesn’t make me feel anything and it’s interesting because when you think about it I think that’s what is the Trap of a lot of celebrities or influen whatever you want to call it as they gain such a following is that it really never makes you feel better about yourself it never makes you feel more fulfilled or more important it’s just it’s just a number really and
so um as I’ve been experienced this season of growth I’ve just my prayer has just been okay Lord keep me humble and keep this feeling in me of like w this is this is crazy because you know we’ve talked about this before but I would rather live my life feeling like I’m stepping into blessings of God rather than creating those blessings myself and and it’s just been it’s been incredible I mean it’s been fun it’s it’s just been a dream come true but the dream is not that more people are following me the dream is wow God is
creating all this around me and I’m really just experiencing it you get to see the fruit and there is something exciting about seeing fruitfulness and you’re right that’s a trap for celebrities but it’s also a trap for preachers pastors who begin to see themselves as celebrities rather than servants this is one of the things I appreciate about you you have a humble Spirit you have the right perspective and you and I would agree that numbers only matter because those numbers represent lives that are being transformed and I appreciate that you’re
