🔔Update 🔔

Hey yall! I hope everyone is having a very blessed Wednesday afternoon so far. I wanted to apologize for the late upload on today's video and also for not posting an update Monday about the new ai persona.

----------------
This thing is taking off
----------------
This project is moving so fast and the Lord has really just allowed it to skyrocket and I'm trying my absolute best to keep up. It's such a blessing to have so many new people subscribing to the channel and following on the social media accounts as well.

I've had a FLOOD of messages, emails, comments etc. I cannot keep up with the amount that's coming in. I'm very sorry I've you've tried to contact me and haven't gotten a response. Just know that I am trying my best.

As many of you may know my wife and I have children so along with being a Husband, a dad and working a full time job, my time is very limited. But this is what I really enjoy doing. I would love to be able to focus on this full time but this project is not there yet. Lord willing, it would be awesome to do this full time one day.

If you're willing, please continue to pray for this project. That the Lord would help to guide this project and above all things that it continues to help lead people to Jesus Christ! Amen.

----------------
New ai persona
----------------
The tie breaker was determined and persona #4 is the winner with a "live action" styling! I plan to take my time developing this project so it may be a while before you see any updates about albums, or music videos. I appreciate your patience in the meantime!


----------------
Thank you
----------------
Wether you have been subscribed to this channel from the begining or if today is your first day as a subscriber, I'm greatful for each and everyone of you. Thank you for being here.

More updates coming soon, stay tuned.

God bless you all,

Marco

Walking by faith can be one of the hardest things that we do. Especially the times when we're walking into the unknown. Remember, the Lord is with you.

--------------------
The next ai persona RESULTS
--------------------
Between all the options it turns out that option #2 and # 4 are tied. So what I will do is hold a poll here on the posts tab between those 2 options and will give it through end of day Friday (July 3rd) to vote.

The style for the next ai persona was voted to be a "live action" style. With nearly 250 total votes, 70% of the votes were live action over 30% for anime.

The final results for everything will be post this Monday (July 5th). Then production for the new ai persona will start soon after.

--------------------
New music video!
--------------------
Ava Thorn will have her first stand alone music video for the song "I'm crying out" which is available for "swell" members and higher to view right now. Thursday the music video will be made public for everyone to view. I'm very excited to release this video and have gotten very positive feedback from the people who have seen it already.

--------------------
Noah Graves next music video
--------------------
The new Noah Graves music video for "In the silence" is still in production and is turning out really cool. I'm trying out some new things with this video and can't wait to share it with you all! I hope to have more updates around this video for you soon!

--------------------
The future of the channel
--------------------
I've seen so many people comment on the videos speaking about not just the music but also the story they're seeing and how it relates to their own situation. I'm wondering if I should slow down on the music production and focus a little more on the visuals for each video. I would love to hear your thoughts and understand important to you.

Would you like to see more music videos and less overall songs
or
Would you like the channel to run as normal with more music and less music videos?

Please let me know!

--------------------
Recent growth & mission
--------------------
I want to thank all of you who have supported this channel with your prayers and encouragement, financial support through buying merch or memberships, and those who continue to watch video after video, song after song. It means a lot and it's awesome to see this thing grow. About 8 months ago I made a post where I shared a screenshot of the total subscribers for the channel and it had grown to 185 subscribers. I was so grateful for that just the same as I am grateful for what it is today.

The mission will continue to be the same and will not change. Leading people to Jesus Christ and fellowshipping while jamming to some awesome music.

--------------------
Special shoutout to the channel members
--------------------
I want to give a special shout out the channel members. You all have made the decision to support this channel and movement financially. I really appreciate that. It allows for this channel to continue making videos and music and the support you've shown is so crucial for that. This channel was eligible for monetization only just 2 months ago so it's just getting started in that sense. Your contributions mean a lot, thank you.

If you're reading this and you're not a member but are interested, please check out the "membership" tab on the YouTube channel for more information!

Thanks again everyone!

God bless,

Marco

First I want to thank you all for being here. It's a blessing to see this community continue to grow and thrive. All in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen! I'm so grateful for every single one of you.

This has been such a busy and crazy month. I'm learning a lot and are trying to take steps to improve where needed. If there any thoughts you may have on how to improve or what could use a closer look, please let me know! I want to offer you all the best experience possible.

--------------------
The next persona
--------------------
Today is the very last day to vote for the next ai artist persona. If you haven't already, check out the most recent video posted and leave a comment to vote. Then you can vote on the style right here on the posts tab. I will announce the results sometime this week!

--------------------
Videos this week and next
--------------------
I have something very special planned for this week and it will not be a normal week for video uploads. On Tuesday (tomorrow) there will be a new music video available for "swell" members for the channel and then it will be available for everyone to view on Thursday (July 2nd).

--------------------
New members and subscribers
--------------------
I want to formally welcome all of our new subscribers here! Everyone is welcome to be here and be apart of the community. It's ok to be broken and seeking, it's ok to not know God and to be here. This community is about sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ and showing love and encouragement to each other during our different walks of life. We just so happen to all enjoy rock music so, we can jam together while worshiping the one and true God, Jesus Christ. His word is true and will not waiver for any current trend or cultural shifts. It's a blessing to know that God is a firm foundation that will not move or change. He's offers us all the gift of eternal salvation through his one and only son Jesus Christ. It does not matter what your past is, you are not too far gone, broken, or out of reach for the Lord. Let his name be forever praised, Amen!

--------------------
I will be posting more updates soon, so be sure to keep a lookout!

God bless you all,

Marco

What a blessing is it to know we have an all powerful, all mighty God that created the heavens and earth who promises us this simple thing. The Lord will be with us wherever we go. You are not too far gone or out of reach for God. Cry out to Him and He Will draw to you. #faithoverfear #Jesus #God #rockmusic #Christian

🔔This is the update you've been waiting for🔔

Tomorrow is voting day. You will decide the next ai persona for this channel. The poll will be open starting tomorrow and it will run through Monday (June 29th). Because of that, there will be no video posted on Friday.

There will be 2 things to vote on:

1. Which artist persona do you want to move forward (I will post a video showing all seven options side by side). You can vote by leaving a comment on the video.

2. What style should the persona be made in (anime or live action). I will make a poll right here on the posts tab for the style.

I'm so grateful to have you all here with me as we build this new project together. So many people have reached out saying how much of a positive impact this has had on them. Also, I've seen so many of you comment and also respond to others with love and encouragement. What a blessing, Amen! All glory goes to our Lord Jesus Christ, that's what this is all about.

More updates coming soon.

God bless,

Marco
