Your opinion can help us help others

A few months ago, GNM began to produce a video series called “Daily Prayers and Reflections.” The Good News Reflections were inserted into a sequence of powerful prayers for enhancing your day. First reactions to it were good, but viewership soon leveled off to a rather low daily level.

So we cancelled them. Then someone wrote to ask where she could find them. She missed them. I always pray over the feedback we get. Could God be speaking through it? Time to rethink the idea.

Bill Snyder has a lot of expertise with increasing YouTube rankings. He’s been a GNM board member for several years. We brainstormed about this project last week. Should we switch to embedding Saints instead of reflections? Should we do this daily, weekly, or monthly?

In honor of Our Lady of Sorrows, I made a pilot episode. Please tell me what you think of it: youtube.com/watch?v=Xw9vE7LN_JU.

Then take a short-minute survey to give us your feedback at gnm-media.org/powerful-prayers-for-daily-use.
