What’s your question about communications?

When we invest a lot of energy into making plans, it's only natural for us to be disappointed when things don't go the way we expect. Our response to situations like this can help us identity issues with our hearts–specifically related to idolatry. This week on the podcast, we'll look at a few passages that help us get to know some of the characteristics of idolatry and how it can creep into our lives as church communicators if we aren't careful.

As we enter 2024, we have the opportunity to be intentional with the decisions we make. Rather than coming up with resolutions that we won't be able to sustain, consider a shift in your mindset toward productivity.

Look at the proactivity of Jesus:
" For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” 
- Luke 19:10

How can we do this?

• Be proactive with a plan - Check out The Healthy Church Communications Blueprint
• Be proactive in our relationships - Initiate conversations with leadership and ministry leaders
• Be proactive in our grace to those outside our church - Give freely to those outside the church and make participation in the church as simple as possible

- Proverbs 19:21

I don't mean that in some "believe in yourself and your dreams will come true" kind of way. I mean that your job is to be the expert for YOUR church.
