Monday morning rolls around and you look at your phone and see many different red notification icons.  There is a red icon on your texting app, one on your email app, and a couple on your Planning Center app.  As you begin to work your way through your communication and replying process, you start to notice that you use many different ways to communicate with people and store information.    

Then it happens, you are sitting in a staff meeting and after someone has just asked a question you respond “We have already talked about that.”  You grab your laptop and start to search for the email thread that you swear has the conversation.  Then you grab your phone and look through your texts.    

Nowhere.  Can’t find it at all.   

But you KNOW you had that conversation!  

This is where using a defined Tech Stack with your staff and volunteers will help you to NEVER LOSE another conversation thread again!  Putting these into practice will give you greater clarity on the conversations that you have had as a staff and keep everyone accountable moving forward as decisions are made.  Don’t miss Tip #4, it’s the hardest to master!

Most churches find themselves having a group of individuals that oversee the direction for the local and/or global missions work of the church.  This group of awesome volunteers is usually referred to as a Missions Team.    

At Seats to Streets, we want to see your church and Missions Team resourced with the tools to move your people from Sunday morning seats to local and global streets.    

In an effort to do that, we dive into the topic of the 3 Most Important Things a Missions Team Should Be Doing.    Here your missions team will walk away equipped with three ground level steps to continue their impact locally and globally for the Gospel.

Every year in October, pastors find themselves in a unique time of the year.  That time of year is Pastor Appreciation Month, or Week, or possibly for you just a specific day.  Either way, there are good things and bad things that happen at this time of year.   

I heard in a passing conversation once that ministerial staff has to be competent in over 60 areas while the average line worker in a factory needs to be competent in only 7.  These competencies can range from writing a sermon, public speaking, pastoral counseling, marital counseling, pre-marital counseling, conducting a funeral, counseling grieving individuals, managing a staff, filing ministerial taxes, and the list can go on and on and on.  

The problem exists when a pastor struggles to know if they are making a difference in people's lives.    

So as a solution to that, Pastor Appreciation Month was created as an attempt to allow your local pastoral staff to feel as if they are making a difference in the lives of their congregation by receiving encouragement and thanks for their work.   However, some gifts mean more than others.  

In this episode of the Seats to Streets Podcast Host JR Horn and Co-Host Brian Gorman break down what Pastor Appreciation Moth is, Why it is looked down upon by some Pastors, and then their top three of the Best and Worst gifts to give you pastor this month!

Episode 2 of the Seats to Streets Podcast brings you Host JR Horn and Co-Host Brian Gorman as they discuss how Brian has used a Kingdom Analytics report to change the course on how their church talks about discipleship and local outreach.  

If you are a parent with kids in school you are always eager to hear a report to know how your child is progressing in school.  As a church leader, having a report about your community, much like a report card in school just without the punishment that may come along with D's or F's, is something most church leaders wouldn't hesitate to study carefully.  Church leaders ache knowing that there is more ministry to do in their local community.   

By not knowing the needs in our community, oftentimes they go unmet.  When these spiritual, physical, social, etc needs are not met in the community that surrounds our churches, we can lose sight of who our neighbors are and forget how to adequately be the hands and feet of Jesus.  

Here in this episode, listen in as Brian tells his story of receiving a Kingdom Analytics report about the community his church resides in. The report detailed a specific number of individuals that do not know Jesus or have chosen to no longer follow Jesus.  What happened next to Brian's church, their discipleship plan, and their mission is one to not miss!  

If you are impacted by this episode and want to find out how you can receive a report of your own, be sure to contact Kingdom Analytics.  When you visit their website, take advantage of scheduling a free consultation.  https://kingdomanalytics.com/free-consultation

As church leaders or church staff, we all want to know more about the area right around our church.  You have been there maybe you are there now.  You drive to the church and pass house after house that you know needs the life-changing message of the Gospel.  You struggle for the best approach.  Flyers haven't worked.  Church event after event has not brought about the results you are looking for.  

It isn't from a lack of trying, it's from a lack of knowledge.    

What is the spiritual landscape of our community? 

What is the best way to communicate with our community? 

How can we serve our community where it will meet their needs?  

All of these answers are inside in this edition of the Seats to Streets Podcast with Host JR Horn.  Listen in as JR interviews Kingdom Analytics Founder Andrew Esparza and learn how tapping into the "data" can give your church massive insight into effectively reaching your community.  Want to see a Sample Report of what Kingdom Analytics can provide?
