Life is good here at Little Flower Media! It has been another incredibly busy few weeks as September comes to a close. We traveled, ran destination streams and streamed 120 hours live from the Twitch channel for our first ever “Subathon” to celebrate our 1 year anniversary!
UST asked Jon to be part of a presentation on Digital Evangelization for the Texas Catholic Conference of Bishops. It was an incredible experience and wonderfully informative event that allowed Bishops and other parish personnel to come together in sharing ideas during workshops and breakout sessions. It’s nice to see the interest and excitement around bringing new media to the everyday lives of parishioners.
While in Houston, we did a live NFL watch party and channel “meetup” at Cidercade. It was a fun and unique experience designed to bring something new to the channel while we travel. Our next one will be from TwitchCon in mid October!
The “Subathon” was a great success! We set up a marathon stream from the BeardedBlevins Twitch channel in which donations and subscription renewals counted towards the timer that kept us live. We celebrated Jon’s Birthday live on stream, roved overnight shifts, undertook food challenges and generally kept the energy level high for 120 hours straight! Thanks to all for the support! 💙
We are headed to TwitchCon San Diego in the next few days, keeping you posted through social media on our adventures while we bring the light to the world through media and community.
As always, we appreciate your support of Little Flower Media and ask that you help spread the word when it comes to our variety of content that we develop and produce.
A message from the CEO.
This Month’s Top Stories
1 Year Anniversary 🎉
Little Flower Media is celebrating our 1 year anniversary this month.
We are proud of the work we’ve accomplished in growing our community and demonstrating our “pre-evangelization” model in the world of new media. We have an excellent proof of concept and now begin the process of landing sponsors and partnerships that share our vision and mission.
Subbathon
The first ever Bearded Blevins "Subathon" was a huge success! Donating and subscribing to the channel added minutes to a timer countdown that kept the channel live for 120 hours in a row! We learned 2 things… Firstly, our community is AMAZING. Secondly, grown adults should not stream content for 16 hours straight in a 24 hour period. 😴
When all was said and done, Jon, Marco and McClure had played 20 different games, done DJ impressions, taken on food challenges and produced our regularly scheduled shows… all without turning off the cameras for 5 days. We're truly lucky to be alive! 😲
Thanks to all who helped with their time, effort and resources to keep the dream going!

Shows
“Around the Halo” is an online show streamed on our Twitch channel in which 4 guests give their “hot takes” on everything from pop culture to church teachings.
A variety of guests have made the first season entertaining and informative as several different “winners” were crowned in a points don’t matter format that all enjoyed.
“Pardon the Intercession” brought together the wonderful minds of Jonathan Blevins and Joel Stepanek for entertaining discussion and deep debate in this 1 on 1 “fast take format”. Discussions were quick and packed with content as we discussed everything from sports to the existence of aliens!?
