SELF-TAPE INSTRUCTIONS

Please film your self-tape VERTICALLY (like an Instagram story). Make sure you are centered in the frame. Use a plain background. The light should be in front of you (not behind you).

We’d like you to share ONE type of story that resonates the most with you. Please read the descriptions below and pick the one you’d like to focus on.

Personal Impact Story: An unexpected shift toward considering Jesus, openness to Jesus, or taking a spiritual/practical step closer to Jesus, after encountering a He Gets Us commercial, video, billboard, social post or other campaign effort. See specific questions in the section below.

OR

Relational Catalyst Story: A He Gets Us commercial, video, billboard, social post or other campaign effort or moment became an open door to a relationship between a Jesus follower and someone they know or interacted with, resulting in the other person's consideration of Jesus or taking a step closer to Jesus. See specific questions in the section below.

PERSONAL IMPACT STORY QUESTIONS

A specific description of your He Gets Us encounter identifying a commercial, a video, a social media post, or some other campaign effort you came across, along with an understanding of how you were surprised or moved in the moment.

The way the moment impacted your life and opened your mind in some new way regarding Jesus.

SELF TAPE TIPS

Be Vulnerable: This isn’t about presenting a perfect story — it’s about sharing something real. Don’t be afraid to show the raw edges of your experience. Vulnerability makes your story resonate more deeply with others.

Prepare But Don't Present: Take time to reflect on your experiences and when the time comes to press record, speak from the heart. The best answers aren’t polished speeches — they’re honest, spontaneous, and true to you. We want to see you, not a performance.

Unique Experiences = Universal Appeal: It may seem like your story is yours alone, but the more specific you are about your experience, the more others can relate. Be honest and don’t hold back on the details.

AFTER YOU HAVE CHOSEN YOUR SET OF QUESTIONS FROM THE SECTION ABOVE AND FILMED YOUR VIDEO, PLEASE UPLOAD IT HERE. If you have any issues, please email us at [email protected] for help. *
