Q: How did Coleman start gaining followers and what did that reveal about cross-cultural reach?
Coleman explains that a turning point was singing a Swahili song during a live session, which coincided with a surge of followers over the next few days; this highlighted how content in Swahili could resonate with East African audiences even from a distance, and it underscored the potential for missionaries to connect with people through language-focused, relatable content.
