nucleus church Sign Up Information

Hey Steven Walker,

I've got an announcement I want to share with you today...

You see, earlier this year we launched our new giving platform for churches - RebelGive.

And it's been an amazing few months.

We've already processed hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of gifts for churches.

Ever better? We haven't kept a single cent of that for ourselves through giving fees. Because with RebelGive, your church always receives 100% of every gift.

Okay. So here's the announcement:

To celebrate the launch of the new RebelGive website (it went live last night) you can join RebelGive this week and get 35% off your subscription forever - as long as you stay subscribed.

Bottom line:

RebelGive is the most affordable giving platform ever. And until Friday night at midnight, you can join and get an even deeper discount.

Here's the link to see the new RebelGive website:

CLICK HERE - RebelGive.com [our new website]

Talk soon,
Brady Shearer

P.S.

Here are a few of the new features we've added to RebelGive since launching a few months ago:

• GivingFlow Triggers (create a custom link to share online that pre-populates a gift of a certain amount to a pre-selected fund)
• Hidden funds
• More robust reporting

Seriously, we're just getting started with RebelGive.

Join this week and you'll get in on the ground floor with one of the lowest subscription costs we'll ever have :)

Hey Steven Walker,

Last month, we merged our two flagship platforms - Storytape and Nucleus - together.

The result? An expanded Nucleus universe of products...at the same price.

That price is $99 per month.

This new pricing is permanent. And I made this move to make Nucleus accessible to as many churches as possible.

But I also know that smaller or startup churches can sometimes need a little extra help getting started.

Which is why I'm proud to announce Nucleus Scholarships.

If the new price of Nucleus is still inaccessible to your church based on your church's size or age, we'd love to hear from you.

Click the link below, scroll down to the scholarships section of the pricing page, and submit your application:

Make sure to fill out all the information in the Nucleus Scholarships form on the pricing page.

Today, I am proud to announce that RebelGive is the first church giving platform ever to have zero fee ACH giving. No percentage fee. No flat fee.

When your church receives a donation through ACH (bank account), neither you nor the donor will be charged any processing fee whatsoever.

It’s just another way we’re working to set a new standard in the world of church giving.

Click below to read the full announcement:

INTRODUCING: Zero-Fee ACH Giving For Churches [A New Standard For Church Donations]

- Brady Shearer

P.S.

Here's the bottom line:

Most church giving companies charge a 1% tax on all ACH (bank account) donations to keep for themselves.

It's crazy.

We won’t let the government tax our churches, but we have no problem with our online giving companies doing it. ????

I think churches deserve another option.

It's time for a change.

Hey Steven Walker,

Today, I want to share with you my picks for the best 3 video camera setups for churches in 2020.

Each of these three kits will capture stunning video (and one can even shoot great photos as well) - but, no camera body is perfect.

So by the end, you'll know what makes each of these three cameras special, but I'll also explain their weaknesses as well.

Hey Steven Walker,

There's a church stage design trend that I've been seeing pop up more and more lately.

And this c trend is different from virtually every other because it's focused more on setting the stage for *preaching* rather than music.

So today, I'll share with you a number of examples of churches implementing this kind of setup...

...and you'll learn about the missional reasoning behind this type of configuration.

Hey Steven Walker,

Today, I want to take you on a behind the scenes tour of my brand new live streaming studio.

And what''s special about this studio is that it''s a 3-in-1 studio. It''s set up for live streaming, YouTube videos, *and* podcasting.

Here''s the link to the tour:

Hey Steven Walker,

Yes, I''m making a big claim with the subject line of this email.

But in my decade of making videos for churches, I have never been as excited for a camera as I am for this one.

Seriously.

And what makes this camera so special is that it can do...basically anything.

It''s a camera with virtually no weaknesses.

And that is something that I have been waiting on for a very long time.

?7 essential camera accessories under $50 each?

Hey Steven Walker,

Today I''m excited to share with you the big thing my team and I have been working on...

?Unlimited creative church resources all in one place.?

That means:

- Done-for-you social posts
- Cinematic worship backgrounds, motion titles, and countdowns
- 4K stock footage shot with churches in mind
- Photoshop and After Effects templates

All in all...more than 30,000 creative church assets - and you get unlimited access to all of it.

It''s the newly released Nucleus Media.?

It gets better though...

Because Nucleus Media is the most economical church media subscription around.

I know that many churches don''t have access to the digital resources they need, so we set out to design a subscription that was affordable - without compromising what was included.

Just take a look at the pricing comaprison below...

The best part?

To celebrate the launch of Nucleus Media, we''re discounting the cost even further until Tuesday.

Instead of $39/month, you can lock in your Nucleus Media subscription at $33.25/month ($399 paid yearly).

And then once that price tier is secured - it''s secured for life.

IMPORTANT: This discounted pricing is not on our public Nucleus site. You won''t find it there. You can only use the links in this email. And these pages will go dead on Tuesday night.

Here''s that link again:

?Nucleus Media - Unlimited creative church resources (secret pricing page)?

Cheers,
Brady Shearer
Creator of Pro Church Tools and Nucleus

P.S.

Remember, Nucleus Media discounted pricing runs until Tuesday night.

Nucleus Media is already the most economical option for your church...

But for the next few days, you can secure an even lower pricing tier. And once you''re locked in at that price - it won''t ever increase. ??

?Nucleus Media - Special discounted launch pricing?

Hey Steven Walker,

There''s a new social media platform on the rise (yes, another one).

But this one is different. And especially important.

Because right now you and your church have a small window of time where you can take a massive leap forward on social in terms of followers, reach, and engagement.

But you can''t wait.

I know I''m using some hyperbolic language in this email - but I believe every word!

Well, because since I started taking this new social platform seriously, my profile has been growing ~5X faster than it used to.

You''ve got about 60-90 days (or fewer) before this rare sliver of opportunity vanishes.

So don''t wait!

P.S.

I''ve put this together as both a blog post AND a YouTube video - so that way you can choose the format you prefer.

P.P.S.

This post comes with a pair of downloadable resources:

2. The Church Growth Calculator Spreadsheet: This is a spreadsheet calculator to allow your church to start tracking growth/health right away

P.P.P.S

This post signals a new series for the month of August:

Church communications policy and strategy.

So many of us are feeling increased pressure on our digital platforms because of the spotlight put on the by the pandemic.

And a lot of us don''t have formalized policy in place. So our informal systems are starting to buckle under this increased weight.

This is why POLICY is so important.

This week we''re tackling church growth and the policy to put in place for defining WHAT actually matters.

And then each week in August we''ll be adding onto to this policy as we discuss promotions, social, email, etc.

I hope you''ll join us for this journey. Here''s the first (and most important) piece:

Hey Steven Walker,

If you serve in youth ministry, you know how powerful of a force social media is in the everyday lives of students.

But here''s the thing...

Social media for students is VERY different compared to what you do for social on your general church pages.

So in today''s video, we''ll talk about some of those challenges.

And I''ll share with you a few of my favorite techniques for connecting with youth through social platforms.

Hey Steven Walker,

You did it. We made it through another weekend.

I woke up to this message this morning ??

For me, this is the reminder I needed...

Yes, church may look different right now (and for the foreseeable future). But that won''t stop us from being the Church.

Last week was a bit of a whirlwind for us too...

We saw a surge of new churches signing up for RebelGive and Nucleus. I probably should have anticipated this with so many of us moving to digital services, but I really didn''t see it coming.

In light of that, if you find yourself in need of one of our products (I''ve listed each of them in the P.S. section below) - for the next 10 days we''re going to be expanding our scholarship program.

We''ll be fast tracking all scholarship requests that come in and extending the flexibility of what would normally qualify for a scholarship.

Basically...if you''re in need - we''re here to help.

All the details are listed below. ??

Talk soon,
Brady Shearer

P.S.

1. RebelGive [Online Giving] - Start keeping 100% of every online donation made to your church

The screenshot from the beginning of this email is from a church that uses RebelGive. They received a generous donation this weekend of $42,000. Because RebelGive doesn''t charge any transaction fees on bank account donations - this church got to keep *all* of that donation. And...it didn''t cost the giver anything either.

Believe it or not though, this is not normal. Most church giving providers charge a 1% fee on bank account gifts. Why? To keep it for themselves as a tax for using their platform. In this case, that would have been $420 withheld by the giving platform.

These fees look especially big on large donations - but they also add up bit by bit over time on smaller gifts. And as digital giving soars due to the suspension of in-person gatherings, that means even more of your church''s budget being lost to giving fees.

We think churches deserve another option. And that''s why we started RebelGive.

2. Nucleus Social [Social Media] - Daily, done-for-you social media posts

Social media usage is spiking because of social distancing. And while our churches scramble to figure out what Sunday services look like online, what I don''t want us to do, is become so fixated on what we''re publishing on Sundays - that we forsake Monday to Saturday.

If you need a little help in that department, that''s what Nucleus Social is for. A new post every single day - designed to boost engagement and provoke spiritual practice.

Click here to get a Nucleus Social scholarship (just scroll down to the scholarship form)

3. Nucleus Web [Church Website Builder] - See more next steps & more life change at your church

Nucleus Web is a card-based church website builder. One reason I love card-based web design is how much it contributes to next steps. And this is what makes Nucleus unique among other website builders. Our foundation is next steps because we believe more next steps means more life change at your church.

Card-based web design is also extremely flexible. So if you need to make last-minute adjustments or on-the-fly changes, a card-based web platform makes this extremely easy - because it was made for this.

Hey Steven Walker,

Just wanted to give you a heads up that in less than 24 hours - close to 50% of the available spots in The 167 mentorship program have been snatched up.

I''ve also been getting questions that I missed and didn''t cover in the FAQs at The167.cc...

...so I''m going to cover them here.

#1. How much of a time commitment is The 167?

Whatever your current schedule and workload is...The 167 can fit into it. Here''s why:

The course curriculum is on-demand so you can take it at your own pace. For the 1-on-1 mentoring, the bulk of that is done over email which is also on-demand. And finally, the weekly live calls are optional to attend and will also be available after the fact on-demand.

The bottom line: The 167 won''t disrupt your existing schedule. It can fit in the margins when you''re free and available - while still helping you and your church take massive leaps forward.

#2. Can my whole church go through it?

Yes! Your investment into The 167 extends to your entire leadership team - for life! That''s right. So imagine bringing on a new volunteer or staff member to your creative team, you can just put them through The 167 curriculum and get them up to speed with your vision.

And even after the initial 12-week mentorship is complete, you''ll retain lifetime access to all curriculum (we''ll be adding much more in the future) and you''ll still be welcome to join us on all live calls as well :)

#3. What if I''m in a different time zone?

We''ve already had enrolments in The 167 from five different countries. We purposefully setup most elements within The 167 to be on-demand so that they would work for your church - regardless of your location!

Got a question? Just reply to this email and I''ll get back to you.

And here''s the link to explore the full program details of The 167:

Hey Steven Walker,

Today''s video is dedicated to worship for online church.

Of course, music is a staple of virtually any in-person worship service - but it''s not as easy to translate to an online venue as preaching is.

So to help with that, I wanted to show you three different worship setups that my church has used in recent weeks:

Hey Steven Walker,

Today, I''m going to share with you my picks for the best budget cameras for churches in 2020.

Not too long ago, I released my list of best cameras for churches this year.

But you and I both know that not every church can spend thousands of dollars on camera equipment.

So what are we to do?

Hey Steven Walker,

So that was a pretty crazy weekend, huh?

Last minute service cancellations. Scrambling to configure live streams. And a lot of us had to make really tough decisions.

And yet...

Thanks to digital platforms, we were able to share the hope of Jesus in non-traditional ways. I am very grateful for this.

But now what?

We got through *this* Sunday. What about next week? Or the week after?

None of us know, of course.

Here''s what I do know:

Your week ahead has 168 hours. If Sunday service is just 1 hour, how is your church preparing to reach people in the other 167?

Maybe you haven''t given it much thought. That''s probably true for a lot of us right now.

But as everyone was preparing for Sunday. I couldn''t help but think about Monday...today.

Social media usage will spike this week as many of us practice social distancing. So what is your church planning to post on social? What will take the place of event and service promotions?

This is where I want to help.

In the coming days and weeks, your church has the opportunity to shine a bright light where darkness endures.

(social isn''t exactly the happiest of places right now)

So I put together 30 of my favorite social posts from Nucleus Social.

They''re linked below. No optin required. No charge or anything like that.

Perhaps this can serve as one less thing you need to worry about as we navigate the uncertain weeks ahead:

DOWNLOAD: A little extra help [30 done-for-you social posts for the weeks ahead]

Some of the posts I''ve included encourage spiritual practice. Some of the posts are fun conversation starters. Some are just hopeful quotes.

Every post though is made to help your church *do* ministry - and not just *promote* ministry.

You got this. I believe in you. And I''m always here to help.

Hey Steven Walker,

I''ve got some big news to share with you today.

Tomorrow, May 19th, I''m launching a new program called The 167.

A first-of-its-kind, 12-week mentorship class...with me, Brady Shearer.

For years, many of you have watched my videos, read my posts, and listened to my podcasts - and for that I am deeply grateful.

But as you know, this kind of content has its limit.

It can''t be personalized. It can''t offer real-time feedback. And it can''t coach you through the tough times when you get stuck.

That''s what The 167 is for.

The foundation of this program is unlimited 1-on-1 coaching with me.

For that reason, the program needs to be very small.

There are only 75 spots available.

Enrolment will open tomorrow at 1PM Eastern.

So watch your email at that time - that''s when I''ll be sending the signup link.

I'm a big believer in the idea that unexpected problems create unprecedented opportunities.

The church is having a moment right now and many of us are waking up to the power of digital platforms for the first time.

The amount of opportunity that exists in the 167 hours beyond your Sunday service is immense.

Not to replace in-person gatherings, but to contribute to your church accomplishing its biggest goals.

This is a watershed moment for the church.

And for those ready to take the plunge, I''m thrilled to make that leap with you.

Talk to you tomorrow,

Hey Steven Walker,

Our churches are publishing more videos than ever before.

Which made it the perfect time to finally drop the video that so many of you have been asking for...

How *I* color grade my videos.

So today I''m gonna show you step-by-step:

Hey Steven Walker,

Tomorrow night, at midnight, our Nucleus Media launch discount will expire.

So you''ve still got a little time to lock in your discounted pricing for life.

But what if you''re not the final decision maker at your church?

I''ve got you covered.

Because I''ve put together a Convince Your Boss PDF that you can share with senior leadership.

IMPORTANT: The pricing in the Convince Your Boss PDF is our normal, public pricing - not the discounted rate (so just keep that in mind when sharing it).

?Click here for the Nucleus Media Convince Your Boss PDF?

(the PDF may take a little while to load - so be patient ??)

Remember, with Nucleus Media you get unlimited access to more than 30,000 creative assets produced specifically for churches like yours.

Nucleus Media is also priced to be the most economical option for your church.

And until tomorrow at midnight, you can lock in an additional 20% discount...for life.

Cheers,
Brady Shearer
Creator of Pro Church Tools and Nucleus

P.S.

For peace of mind, your Nucleus Media subscription also comes with a 30-day guarantee.

So if you change your mind in the first month for any reason, you can cancel your subscription and get a refund (minus the first month''s fee) and you get to keep what you downloaded. ??

That way there''s no risk to you for signing up.

Here''s that link again! (you can also find the Convince Your Boss PDF on the signup page under the pricing comparison table):

Hey Steven Walker,

Today, I want to outline a 7-day social media calendar for your church - specifically to be used during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This calendar is repeatable.

So if you choose, you can use it as the framework for your social media content rhythms for the foreseeable future.

SOCIAL Media Calendar For CHURCHES | Coronavirus Edition

What's amazing about social is that it doesn''t have the time limitations of an in-person gathering.

And if your Sunday service is, let's say, 1 hour online each week - that means there are still 167 hours beyond that service every single week where you can connect to people online with social.

And as social media usage spikes because of social distancing measures, those 167 hours are even more rich with opportunity than they were a month ago.

Let''s seize that opportunity for the sake of the Gospel.

Here''s how:

Hey Steven Walker,

I''ve been pretty vocal in the past AGAINST live streaming for churches.

Why?

Because I think rebroadcasting your church''s service online is a second-rate experience.

It''s kind of like watching live sports but with no commentators, no replays, and no sound design.

Sure...it''s something.

But it *could be* so much more!

Today, I want to share with you what MY church has been doing with online church.

Hey Steven Walker,

You are about to learn the seven rules of church communications.

And together, these seven rules are meant to form your church comms policy:

?The 7 Rules Of Church Communications Strategy?

Here's what you can expect once you've formalized this policy at your church:

• Eliminate the problem of people coming up to you and saying "Hey, I didn't even know that event was happening!" (even though you've been announcing it for six weeks)
• Avoid personal tension between ministries and leaders that all want their own promotions
• Free up your emails, social posts, and announcements to *do* ministry and not just *promote* ministry
• Discover a sustainable pace for your church's communications - even under the increased pressure of a global pandemic

Let''s dive in.
