Welcome to Winsome November! Wovember!

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.
