This is so important and I'm experiencing the growing pains of this right now. You're doing the Lord's work, Kyle. Thanks for the insight!
I have been more than slow to make peace with the fact of using video for self promotion -- it's not something that comes to me naturally (I'm more of a text person) and I feel it's quite time-consuming to produce it.
