  • This week on the podcast, we are unpacking a concept that has the potential to dramatically increase engagement in your church: a rising tide lifts all boats. We'll look at how many WNBA fans are resisting this concept (to their detriment) and hear a story of how this worked in ministry.

    When we communicate too specifically, we actually cause people to opt out of participation in our ministry because they don't see an opportunity for them.

    "Come join our hunting group" is great if you are a hunter... but it's terrible for everyone who isn't a hunter.

    The beauty of this shift is that it is scalable, too. When you communicate your values and mission, it doesn't matter if you have one small group or 1,000. The message remains the same: being in community is important, find a group.

  • Systems and ministry have a bit of a rocky relationship. Some are adamant that systems remove the human element of ministry while others see a dire need for more.

    So which is it?

    Believe it or not, having effective systems in your ministry can actually help guard you against mission drift.

  • Creatives shouldn't miss deadlines.

    It's weird to me that this feels like a hot take, but it does. I've met many creatives that are either fine with it or blame everyone else and I've met many non-creatives who assume it's just part of the deal. You want creativity, you get uncertainty.

    But that just isn't true. If missing deadlines is the only reliable part of working with creatives in your organization, it's time to solve the real problem.

  • Micromanagement is a super challenging yet very common in creative ministry.

    This week on the podcast we'll look at 6 different reasons micromanagement happens and practical next step to help address it.

    1. Sometimes you and leadership aren’t speaking the same language
    Go through the Four Creative Cores with leadership to learn how you can speak in a way that both of you understand.

    https://www.lunchtimeheroes.co/four-creative-cores

    2. Sometimes it’s personal preference

    https://www.lunchtimeheroes.co/get-your-graphic-design-on-mission

    3. Sometimes it’s not understanding the role of comm
    Develop a clear project workflow to guide every project. This helps understanding happen.

    https://www.lunchtimeheroes.co/the-healthy-communications-ministry-blueprint https://www.lunchtimeheroes.co/how-projects-work

    4. Sometimes it’s an inability to delegate (and typically too busy to step into the details)
    Guide the feedback process to be more focused on mission than opinion

    5. Sometimes it’s ministry insecurity

  • When you are overloaded with work, the last thing you want to entertain is a project that doesn't move the mission of the church forward. But how can you tell the difference between something being mission critical or personal preference?

    Unfortunately, you can't. And to be honest, Comm shouldn't be the judge of that anyway.

    But the problem still needs to be solved, so let's solve it.

    5 steps to better supporting ministry:

    1. Align with leadership

    Where does leadership want you to invest your time–event promotion or event support?

    If comm isn’t communicating, no one is. If you aren’t supporting events, the ministry leaders, staff, or volunteers are.

    2. Land on a plan

    Provide event support as part of your promotional plan. Don't have one? Learn how to build one here: https://www.lunchtimeheroes.co/promotion-plan

    3. Formalize the plan

    Share the plan with department leaders and anyone else on the team who might be frustrated or stressed about the changes.

    4. Support ministry leaders

    Equip ministry leaders for success.
    - Create a Canva plan for everyone on staff
    - Offer regular trainings to help staff learn and grow - Here's one that might help get things started: https://www.lunchtimeheroes.co/3-design-secrets-that-will-save-ministry-leaders-hours-of-time
    - Connect them with a list of approved vendors that will help make their creation easier
    - Create a merch shop for your church that they can use to order items for their events: https://thechurch.shop/lunchtimeheroes/

    Evaluate

    Check in with ministry leaders every 3-6 months to see how things are working.

  • There is no silver bullet: ultimately your pastor will either embrace this or they won’t.

    But, there are things you can do to make it easy and attractive to plan ahead.

    1. Identify projects where planning ahead would be most helpful and initiate the first meeting

    Create an annual calendar with alerts that remind you when you should start the planning process. Then bring that up with your pastor.

    2. Manage reality

    Recognize that everything won’t be perfect. Unrealistic expectations will only lead to more frustration.

    3. Find or develop tools that help make planning easier

    The Sermon Series Development Plan: https://www.lunchtimeheroes.co/weekend-series-development-guide

    Download it and send it to your pastor. Frame it not as “the solution”, but a potential help for them.Follow up with a conversation. Call out how planning ahead helps you and other support ministries

    4. Call out “plan ahead” wins when they happen.

    Non planners usually can’t see where planning helps.

    5. Do as much of the planning work as you can.

    You can't expect non-planners to be planners. Look for ways to help drive organization and planning.

  • When someone asks "who should manage this – communications or the ministry leader", there's usually more to the story. This week on the podcast, I want to give you six questions I ask to get below the surface.

    If you don't go deeper when this question is asked, you won't be able to equip your ministry team with the right tools to solve the real problem.

    Where does this issue show up?

    Social MediaGraphic Design (last minute project, but not always)Video projects

    What are the real issues behind this question?

    Comm not delivering (take health assessment at healthychurchcreatives.com)Missing deadlines - systemsNot producing quality work - skillsMinistry leader has a different vision - heart or controlMinistry wants more than the org is willing or able to allocate - Internal resources can’t support the ministry requestMinistry wants to minister to the people of their ministry

    Questions you can ask to discover the real problem

    What problem are you trying to solve by managing this?Is there a better way to accomplish your goal?Have you developed a strategy around this?How do you plan to sustain this long term?What is the downside of Comm managing this?What is the downside of Ministry managing this?

    Our culture speaks a visual language

    Too much information requires organization (communications does that)Strategic communication helps information be heard

  • From a theological prospective, beauty is important!

    God is a creative God.

    Look at the creation account in Genesis 1God created mankind in his own image.

    We are creative

    As image bearers, we are creative.Ephesians 2:10 describes us a “his workmanship”. When we come to know Christ we are described as a “new creation” in 2 Corinthians 5:17.Genesis 35:30-35Then Moses said to the Israelites, “See, the Lord has chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, 31 and he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills— 32 to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, 33 to cut and set stones, to work in wood and to engage in all kinds of artistic crafts. 34 And he has given both him and Oholiab son of Ahisamak, of the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach others. 35 He has filled them with skill to do all kinds of work as engravers, designers, embroiderers in blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen, and weavers—all of them skilled workers and designers.

    Creativity is not just a part of who God is, it’s also a means through which He works.

    We should care about beauty

    If God is beautiful, we as Christians should care deeply about beauty.

    “As God is infinitely the greatest being, so He is allowed to be infinitely the most beautiful and excellent. And all the beauty to be found throughout the whole creation is but the reflection of the diffused beams of that Being who hath an infinite fullness of brightness and glory.”

    - Johnathan Edwards, The Nature of True Virtue

    he war with culture

    We live in a culture that values pragmatism and excess over beauty. Too many churches have aligned with this. They are either devoid of beauty in the name of pragmatism, or are consumed with self indulgent excess. Neither extreme reflects God.

  • One of the most difficult questions to answer in ministry is "should I leave my job". I find that some are too quick to leave at the first sign of tension, while others stay in an unhealthy situation for much too long.

    How do you know when to leave or when to go?

    This week on the podcast I'll walk you through the conversation I typically have when someone is considering stepping out of their current role in creative ministry.

    Do you want to leave or do you want to make where you are better?Are doors opening for you? What are the pros and cons of those opportunities?If you had to stay, what would you do to address the frustration you face?Identify the specific problems and work toward solving them.

  • If you've served in a creative ministry where unhealthy tendencies haven't been address, you will find yourself at the point where everyone assumes every problem is because of your team.

    It's not a logical conclusion, but it's a common conclusion. If you find yourself here, this week's episode is all about the steps you can take to restore your creative ministry.

    1. Identify where you are
    Always start with assessment.
    It's important to remove emotion from your assessment, so using an unbiased tool like the free creative ministry health assessment at HealthyChurchCreatives.com will help you an unbiased perspective.

    Key questions to ask:

    Are you the problem?Are you hitting all of your deadlines?Are you communicating clearly?Do ministry leaders always have visibility into their projects?How are your systems - specifically project management?

    2. Define the Future

    Clearly define the future state that you are aspiring toward.

    3. Plot your course

    Once you have clarity about where you want to go, map the steps needed to achieve the desired transformation.

    4. Rally your team
    Cast vision with your team

    Describe where things wereCast vision as to where you want them to beUnpack why this is importantTalk through the tactical steps needed to get there

    5. Invite others to participate
    Bring ministry leaders into the process

    Apologize for the negative impact these things have had on their ministryShare your vision for the futureInvite them to help you build it by extending grace as you rebuildAsk if there are other ways you can help them

    6. Evaluate along the way
    Check in with your team regularly to evaluate

    How is this working from your perspective?Check in with leaders regularly to assess - how are we doing at taking steps toward where we want to be? Anything you are seeing that can make things more effective?

  • This week on the podcast I'll be answering the question: How do you prioritize which announcements to give and in what venue?

    The key to accomplishing this is building a promotional plan. If you want to go deeper with this idea and build a promotional plan that is compatible with your church, The Healthy Communications Ministry Blueprint covers this topic in depth. This course includes a 26 page workbook and 15 video sessions that walks you through building a Promotional Plan for your church.

    Check out the course here: https://www.lunchtimeheroes.co/the-healthy-communications-ministry-blueprint

    Check out the case study of the 3 + 1 Promotional Plan here: https://www.lunchtimeheroes.co/promotion-plan

    The first step to building a promotional plan identifying the communication channels your church has to work with.

    Identify all your existing communication channels (internal and external) and identify if you would use those channels to promote a big event, a medium sized event, or a small event.This lets you know what channels you have to work with, and when you would leverage each.

    From here, you can build your promotional plan. The three most common approaches I see churches use are:

    A relevance based plan (this event applies to 50% or more of the congregation)An event size based plan (big events get more promotion than small events)A mission driven plan (events that have a big mission impact get more promotion)

    Important: Whatever you do, you want to avoid vague decisions making!

    The problem with a relevance based promotional plan

    This approach requires too many exceptions which erodes the power of the strategy.Example: if your congregation is 65% women, no mens events can be promoted. If 50% of the congregation doesn’t have kids, no major kids events can be promoted. If the percentage drops low enough to account for these challenges, then too many events qualify for maximum promotion (overloading the communication channels).The problem with an event size promotional plan
    Ministry leaders become overly optimistic about their events. An event that will likely draw 25 people is positioned as if it will draw 200 in order to qualify for more promotion.This strategy doesn’t let you drive new initiatives without ignoring the plan. Any new event or ministry won’t have an attendance track record to justify a major promotion, but how will any new ministry gain momentum without promotion? This favors existing events, not new ones.Popularity shouldn’t drive your ministry. Sometimes the small, low attendance events are the ones that the congregation should be attending. Leadership needs the flexibility to made decisions about where they lead the church, and a promotional plan shouldn’t be a hurdle for them to have to overcome.The approach I recommend, and I b

  • Leading change can be exhausting. Especially when you are up against change resistant leaders. This week on the podcast, I talk through four things you can do to navigate this situation well.

    Learn about their concernsCare about their past experiencesOften resistance is born from a bad previous experience that they had or that they’ve heard about. Make it clear how this aligns with the mission of the ministry or the churchLead with “I think we can accomplish the mission by
” as opposed to “this new technology can really help us
”Accept that you might be wrong There are many things that we are zealous about today that might not matter tomorrow. Those who have been in ministry longer than you likely know that because they’ve seen it happen. Seek wisdom.

  • If you wake up one morning and realize your creative ministry doesn't have the best reputation, it's possible to turn things around. This week on the podcast I'm sharing 12 different adjustments I've made over the years that have helped lead teams from a bad reputation to a great one.

  • 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 BlueprintBe proactive in our relationships - Initiate conversations with leadership and ministry leadersBe 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
