Listen, you can completely rock at a career and in a field that you don’t have any formal training in. Wanna know how I know? Because today’s podcast guest is doing just that. We cover all sorts of topics ranging from how to grow IN ANY AREA without going to school or investing money in courses, how to use technology to reach churched AND unchurched people in your community simultaneously, and why you need to consider leveling up your church app (it’s easier than you think)!   Today’s guest is Levi Jones from Tithely and we cover everything I mentioned above and so much more. It’s a fresh conversation from a product designer’s perspective and offers some unique outlooks on how we can do better as church leaders.   So, brew up a fresh cuppa coffee, kick back, and enjoy today’s episode with Levi!

It doesn’t matter what stage of leadership you are in, there’s something for you in today’s podcast.  From a new leader learning to navigate the ins and outs of working with an established team to an experienced leader learning to work with a younger and younger demographic, we’ve got you covered. Today’s guest is Chari Orozco, her experience over 20 years of ministry leaves her with an outlook that’s holistic and all encompassing.  Our conversation runs from leadership to scheduling your life out to the importance of family and we even have a couple soap boxes thrown in for good measure. All in all, it makes for an exciting conversation that you don’t want to miss!

Why is it that youth ministry graphics get the leftovers when it comes to graphic design resources? Most of us know that they are the demographic most impacted by imagery. Why is it that Elevation’s Youth Instagram feed looks so horrible to so many people? Why is it that church graphic design the world over starting to look and feel the same? These are just a couple of the questions that are answered in today’s episode with Josh Whiting, the creative guru behind Bright Coal Creative. Whether you are in graphic design or not, youth ministry or not, this episode is packed full of solid info and paradigm shifting ideas that will help you take your role (no matter what it is) to another level of connection with your audience. So, brew up a fresh cuppa coffee, kick back, and enjoy today’s episode with Josh!

We’re in this together! This brave (really?) new world of digital evangelism, discipleship, and ministry is an interesting one and the pitfalls around us abound more and more. This is why it’s so important for church leadership, creatives, and marketers to come together and pursue a unified approach. Today’s guest is Katie Allred from Church Communications and the creator of the Church Communications group on Facebook that numbers nearly 30,000 members strong. In this episode, we discuss everything from the power and necessity of digital evangelism, the importance of mission-minded community, and why you should hop off the “just Google it” bandwagon.

We live in a world of design, and not all of it’s great. Fortunately, today we’re talking with an incredible designer that’s going to offer insights that aren’t just for design. See, we’re in a world where you can’t just focus on “the obvious.” You have to take the time to go beyond what appears important on the surface... In previous episodes, that’s been digital relationships over social media stuff. Today, it’s the impact of your message over the pizzazz of design. Our guest is Reuben Rohard, the incredible designer behind @designbyreuben on Instagram. Having made the transition from music to videography to design, his approach is refreshing, creative, and impactful due to the multi-platform creativity he brings to everything he does.

If you are burnt out, busted, and disgusted when it comes to social media, welcome to the club! Today’s episode is a breath of fresh air and sheds some light on ways that you can simplify your approach to focus on connection and impact rather than “keeping up with the megachurch down the street.” Our guest is Haley Veturis, the director of digital engagement at Bayside. With a history including seminary and social media management for Saddleback before landing in her current role, Haley’s experience and approach will provide insights and direction for ministers at all levels.

Today’s guest is Brandon Brown, founder of Plottwist Creative and all-around creative mastermind with brands like Yamaha, Olive Garden, Roc Nation, and many more in his portfolio.  Ultimately, his focus is on building relationships, doing the right thing, and helping both churches and his clients accomplish their purpose. If you are looking for how to better connect and how to find that “secret sauce” that turns the marginally interested into raving fans of your organization, this is “ground zero.” So, head out to your car or the nearest park bench for lunch and dive into today’s episode!

Does your church thrive from Sunday to Sunday? Or do you find that most of your efforts are centered around the in-person or streaming experience and you feel a bit lost when it comes to daily engagement throughout the rest of the week? Then have we got a show for you... (Cue the tuba!!!) Today’s guest is Justin Dean and we cover everything from Facebook groups to solid resources for growing churches that won’t break the bank. Join us for an incredible conversation that will take your digital approach to the next level.
