    I've been told I'd gain more traction if I watched my tone and tried to be more winsome. Lets try an experiment! #winsome

    Hey, oh, I didn't hear you come in. Thanks for coming,
    00:18
    I appreciate it. You know, one of the things, oh, before I get into it, I was just reading my
    00:23
    Sam Storms book, Tough Topics 2, Biblical Answers to 25
    00:29
    Challenging Questions. It was endorsed by Matt Chandler and Danny Akin, so you know it's winsome and you know it's good.
    00:35
    One of the things I've been criticized most often about is when it comes to matters of my tone and my approach and my style and, you know,
    00:44
    I can understand that to some degree. You know, I do have a tendency of joking around a little bit and some might call it mockery, some might call it inappropriate, some might call it adolescent and childish, but I do try to have fun and, you know, maybe
    00:57
    I should be a little bit more careful. I posted a poll on Twitter and I asked all of my followers, here's the question, should
    01:07
    I attempt some no -quarter videos this month like my puppet master told me to? What I'm referring to, of course, is
    01:13
    Pastor Doug Wilson's No Quarter November and 78 % of you said yes and 22 % of you said no.
    01:22
    And so overwhelmingly people were wanting no quarter November videos from OLAD, but a lot of people responded and said, so what's the difference between this and your normal content?
    01:36
    Basically implying that my content never has quarters. So I just thought that was kind of interesting and kind of funny and I thought about it over the weekend and I think that, you know, in general people are right.
    01:48
    You know, I think that, you know, I do hold back from time to time.
    01:56
    In fact, there was a video I put out last week where I deleted a whole scene because it was a little too spicy, if you know what
    02:01
    I mean. Hold on one second. But I think people are right.
    02:10
    I mean, my normal content is basically no quarter November content all the time. So what
    02:17
    I was thinking I could do is maybe go the opposite direction and start to be more, how shall
    02:23
    I say this? Powderpuff. Yeah, Powderpuff November, where I just try to be helpful, you know, not try not to ruffle any feathers and still talk about the same things, but do it in a way that is more winsome, if you know what
    02:37
    I mean. That's been the biggest criticism of me, you know, I say truth, but I say it in a wrong way.
    02:42
    Therefore it's wrong. You probably heard that before. If you say something true, but you say it in a mean way, then you're still wrong.
    02:51
    I never really believe that. But I think a lot of people have told me that I would gain much more traction with some of these things if I was a little bit more winsome.
    02:59
    So let's put it to the test. Let's put it to the test in November, guys. I hope you guys are with me on this
    03:05
    Powderpuff November coming soon to YouTube. You know, that's actually probably not the way to go because Powderpuff November, people would say, you know what, that's actually a mockery in itself.
    03:32
    So you're actually not doing this experiment correctly, because at the outset, you're calling it Powderpuff November, and that's insulting,
    03:39
    Adam. You might be right.
    03:46
    I've got a great idea. We'll call it Winsome November. I will be putting out content a couple of weeks, maybe, where I'll try to be as winsome as possible.
    03:56
    Let's see if those videos get more traction, because I've been told by many people in authoritative sounding positions that I would get a lot more traction if I was more winsome.
    04:06
    Winsome November coming soon to YouTube. Actually, let's shorten it. Winsome November sounds a little much.
    04:13
    Let's call it Wovember. Wovember with A .D. Robles coming soon to YouTube.
