Proper Dress for Podcasting We're podcasting earlier in the morning after a couple failed attempts at recording the show and Jennifer is surprised how dapper Greg looks (or as dapper as Greg gets when it's warm outside. Analysis Paralysis Overcoming the fear of a big decision, and jumping ahead, trusting God to pick up the debris. We Click The Big Red Button This week begins a new reset for us as we have all new reward tiers, bonus content, and more as we move to a monthly instead of per-show Patreon co-producer setup. Click here to become a brand new Patreon co-producer of our show and get some cool rewards! As we discuss in much more detail, the changes to Patreon have already gone into effect, and it is important to us that we keep our friends and supporters like you up to date on changes that may affect you because we really value your input! As we’ve discussed on recent episodes of Adventures in Imperfect Living, over the last few weeks and months, Jennifer and I have been looking at three major areas that impact our podcast (and our hopes for future content): How we create new and ongoing content that’s enjoyable to us to create and helpful and entertaining for you to enjoy, How a different Patreon payment structure can support ongoing creation of even more exciting new content, Our current reward and tier structure for our Patreon page. As we’ve hinted on recent episodes, we’ve come up with a new framework for these three areas that we’re really excited about and plan to roll out in the next few days. How We Create Content As you know, we love making content. From podcasts and videos to comic strips and written content to experimental new media and livestreams, we want to create content that energizes us to make even more (i.e., when it’s fun and not work it inspires us with even more creativity), and serves the purpose of entertaining or inspiring others. The difficulty for us is the fact that A) our time — like yours — is limited, and sometimes we WANT to create something for you, but can’t justify the time because we also have to B) do work that directly supports our family financially. This often means that videos we’re ready to film, audio content we’re prepared to record, comic strips we’re ready to draw, and eBooks and other tools we want to write never happen because we have to do other less meaningful (but necessary) work behind the scenes that supports us but doesn’t necessarily change lives. As our coproducers have already noticed in recent weeks, we’re striving to include more bonus content such as behind the scenes photos, stories, videos, and recordings exclusively for our co-producers. This is just a sampling of the kind of stuff we want to do for you! Evaluating a Different Patreon Structure We started using Patreon to supplement our work back in October 2014. For those of you who have been with us this entire time, you know how important this has been for us personally, and we can never thank you enough for your generous support of our work and our family. Your patronage has kept us recording week after week even in the midst of cross country moves, debilitating illnesses, huge family transitions, and more. It’s allowed us to share our faith and encourage others in their walk with Christ. It’s allowed us to do things we never could have done otherwise. Honestly, Patreon is currently the number one way we support our family at this time. And while it’s risky to put all of our eggs in one basket, this is the only basket we currently have, and we’d like to grow it. After much evaluation, discernment, and prayer, we believe the time has come for us to switch to a monthly Patreon structure instead of the per-episode structure we’ve used for the past four-plus years. What does this mean? If you're already a co-producer, hopefully not much will change for you, and what changes there are will be minimal in terms of your financial commitment. If you give $1 a show now with a max of $5 a month, you’ll now be at t
