Shownotes

How do you start a YouTube channel at the age of 81, and reach 25K subscribers in less than 6 months? That’s what pastor Mike Bayer did. Now he’s at over 44K subscribers, and it’s providing him with a second source of income in his later years of ministry.

Karl Vaters talks with Mike about how he made YouTube work for him, plus:

  • The importance of intentional ministry to senior adults
  • How to use your church’s YouTube channel for better engagement
  • Ideas for making an income outside the walls of the church
  • Ministry adjustments for the fourth quarter of life

And more.
