April Newsletter

Sniff… sniff…

Smell that? I think that’s the smell of May flowers on the horizon!

Welcome to May, TACO Tribe!!

The theme for April’s discussion was “Getting Things Done.” Over on TACO’s YouTube channel, XtianNinja shared “6 Proven Ways To Actually Get Things Done” https://youtu.be/4TGLF5R8m_s?si=9dmRv0gLzddtqS62 and we posted Ukulele4Worship’s creator devotional “It Is Time to Move (even if you don’t have a plan)” https://youtu.be/LxzcTqJunVU?si=vOXkeZBGDQUulwHw . In our Discord Creator Resources channel, we filed a tip sheet for “maximizing your productivity” and a worksheet about being reactive or proactive. Check those out if you need help getting things done.

This month we had many happenings within the Network.

  • XtainNinja started hosting “Creator Hangouts” in the TACO discord to help others who  might need some advice, inspiration, or just want to chat! XN will be hosting these Creator Hangouts on Monday through Thursday from 11AM until noon Eastern.
  • Nerd Culture Ministry Summit also happened this month! Samus and ElNinoBlanco were present in the Colorado Castle for this event and manned the TACO table! NCMS is a yearly event put together largely in part by LuxDigitalChurch. This year had some names and speakers you may be familiar with:
    • Caitlin Glass, a voice actress best known for her portrayal of English-dubbed anime characters, is a face who you may remember from Reach Conference! She came back for NCMS this year and spoke during the event, as well.
    • Butch Hartman, who is known for creating and animating The Fairly Odd Parents on Nickelodeon, was also a speaker at NCMS this year!
  • XN has also put out a creator survey to help better assess the needs of the creators we’re aiming to help through this ministry.

Our theme for May is our Character & Integrity as Christian content creators. How does being a person of character and integrity affect our content creation journey? What are some of the common struggles and places creators fall – and how does that impact their content, their community, and their personal faith?

This month’s giveaway was for an RGB ring light! Congratulations to our winner, Zach Lee Music! Stay tuned to the discord and our other socials for future announcements!
