Are you frustrated with dealing with social media sites and running ads? Do you question whether or not they are effective and worth the amount of time you are putting into using them?

Increasing engagement on social media can be a powerful engagement strategy, and using ads on Facebook or some other social media site can increase your community's awareness of your church. But, most churches are missing out on the effectiveness of using email sequences.

In this episode, we are going to look at why you need to start using email sequencing to engage your congregation and community to bring more people through your doors and pastor people deeper in their relationship with Jesus.

For options to implement Email Sequencing I recommend Convertkit or Planning Center.

When I started my business in 2018 I made a lot of mistakes that led to me not getting it off the ground very successfully. One mistake, though, stands out from the rest that held me back for at least two years. 

In this episode, I want to show you how you can avoid my one mistake and get your side hustle, business, or income stream off on the right foot. This means you will get to where you want to be faster and probably be more successful than me at an earlier stage.

As pastors and ministry leaders, we are faced with incredible challenges, pressures, and obstacles as well as blessed by all the amazing things we have the opportunity to witness as we lead people in a relationship with Jesus. What we don't always realize is that we are on a path leading somewhere, and if we aren't careful, the path we are on can be great for the church, the community, and the people in our congregations while being detrimental and even debilitating for us as individuals. 

In this episode, we are going to peak into Tom Nelson's book "The Flourishing Pastor" and look at the perilous paths we may be on that are going to not end well for us, even if it benefits others.

In this episode, I pull from Louie Giglio's book Don't Give the Enemy a Seat At the Table and challenge the thoughts that are holding you back. I know you are called to do great things and it is time you are free to pursue those things. Your circumstances do not determine what you can do for the sake of Christ, but it is what God says about you.
