The big day is 19 days away, so here's 10 things you need to have ready for Easter to be a day where you reach a lot of people: 1. Direct Mail – What's you direct mail plan? (Please tell me it's not just blasting a few zip codes. Be more strategic and you'll see much better results) 2. Mobilizing your congregation – Have you equipped your church with the tools they need to invite friends? 3. New Believers – Are you prepared for God to bless your church with new believers? 4. Servants – Have you challenged those who … Read More

Comments
About 2 years ago I decided to make it difficult to comment on my blog. You had to sign in, get an account with Typekey, and then wait for the post to be approved. What I've found is that I've lost some of the purpose I started this blog for, which is to interact with other church leaders so we can learn from each other. So I decided today to reopen the comments. Comments will still be moderated, but people can now post comments freely without getting CIA-type clearance to so. So play nice… and enjoy!
Last Chance!

Q and A: Maximizing Google
I regularly get emails about how to maximize Google adwords. So I thought I'd share a few thoughts here because this is a question that comes up regularly. Plus, with Easter around the corner, this will be helpful to a lot of Pastors. 1. The key is to test a lot of adwords. It doesn't cost you anything to add more adwords (unless people start clicking, but then again, that's the point) 2. Track results – Google does a good job of this for you, but the key is to stay on it and check to see how well your … Read More

It Seems Like a Lifetime Ago…
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away… I was a musician. In fact, when I became a Christian I thought I would someday be a worship leader (who knew preaching would be my thing 🙂 Anyway, a website recently put out a list of the 10 best Christian metal bands and my former band Strongarm was #5. I'm honored my that. Being in Strongarm was a great time in my life. Had it not been for God's call on my life to prepare myself for Pastoral ministry, I would have continued playing music. The link to … Read More
