What a Bearded Year!
2022 is coming to a close and we’re excited to have a full year under our belt as Little Flower Media! We thought we’d take an opportunity to share some of our favorite moments throughout the year and give you a teaser on what’s on the horizon for the Bearded Blevins Stream Team.
The shows wrapped up with a few amazing episodes from “Around the Halo” and “Pardon the Intercession”! As per usual, they were entertaining, authentic and thought provoking. The community is getting ever more involved in the live chat during shows and it’s extremely fun to see everyone get in on the action to spread their thoughts! Around the Halo can be found on the MAX Studios YouTube channel from UST Houston.
We spent the later months in 2022 working hard to secure partnerships with some organizations that we believe fit the mission of Little Flower Media, “Bring light into the often dark places of the internet”. While we can’t make any official announcements just yet, we are incredibly excited to have the opportunity to formalize these relationships with people that we respect and trust in helping to change the world for the better. Stay tuned for official announcements as we’ll be chomping at the bit to create new content and collaborations in the coming time.
The live streams across all platforms have been taking off. With the combination of TikTok and Twitch, we are regularly getting 15K overall views per stream and getting over 450 concurrent viewers on average. It’s going so well that we are in the process of upgrading Jon’s tech and stream setup to accommodate the demands of multi platform streaming. This will allow us to expand in 2023 to stream on multiple platforms and grow the brand even larger than what we’ve already achieved. The new systems are on track to be completed in early 2023.
Finally, the BeardedBlevins Twitch channel broke into the Top-30 Most Viewed streams for Fortnite, worldwide. This is great news for the mission of LFM to pre-evangelize in a space where faith and integrity are regularly absent from daily content people are consuming with so much of their lives.

Shows
“Around the Halo” is an online show, streamed on Twitch, where 4 guests give their “hot takes” on everything from pop culture to church teachings.
A variety of guests have made the second season entertaining and informative as several different winners were crowned in a “points don’t matter” format that all enjoy.
“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 are fast paced and packed with content as we discuss everything from football to celebrity culture.
