Mission Driven Budget Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Join our conversation with Kenny Jang, founder and CEO of the Big Click Syndicate and CEO and editor-in-chief of Church Tech Today, as we explore what it takes to cultivate and sustain a generous church. Kenny shares his personal journey from almost becoming a pastor to leveraging digital communication to help churches accomplish their mission and become more generous.

Kenny shares his three-part framework on cultivating generosity, practical advice on normalizing money discussions, building effective donor relationships, and identifying different levels of donors in your church. He underscores the importance of engaging volunteers and building meaningful connections, offering stories from his own experiences that beautifully illustrate these concepts. We also tackle the often-neglected topic of external funding and dive deep into ways to build trust and respect between the church and its donors.

By embracing technology, churches can create more impactful services and further their reach. Kenny walks us through the potential of AI in the church space, making the case for the power of technology in spreading the Gospel. He shares his experiences in the Facebook community, AI for Church Leaders, where hundreds are learning and exchanging notes on leveraging AI in ministry. As we wrap up our conversation, Kenny leaves us with ideas on maximizing the impact of year-end giving campaigns and where to find him online. Don't miss this conversation that will leave you with practical generosity strategies you can implement in your church right away.

Notes From This Episode:

1. A clearly defined mission governs why AND how your church does ministry. If your mission doesn't influence how you're doing ministry, your mission is too vague. For example, Mosaic filters the songs they sing so people who don't go to church can connect with the lyrics and not get lost in a barrage of Christian lingo.
   
   
2. Avoid picking up people's passion projects by turning the ownership back to them. It's not your church organization's responsibility to subsidize every potential ministry - it's the responsibility of the people IN your church to pursue that passion. Maybe have that person research a few organizations that your church can partner with (not build a whole new ministry). Or, have that person start a mid-week group that supports the demographic they are passionate about. Church leadership is called to equip people to do the work of ministry. Equip them and send them out.
   
   
3. Consistency turns into laziness when you refuse to change something that isn't working anymore. You can refresh things that are working so they can work even better without sacrificing consistency.
   
   
4. Lead with questions. Some conversations with staff can be tough, but don't start with "Stop It!" Start by asking questions to understand not only what they're thinking, but why they're thinking it. What are their values? What are their beliefs? WHY do they believe that way? Deal with the root of the issue and save yourself and your staff a lot of frustration.
   
   
5. "People often overestimate their productivity in one day. They also underestimate their productivity in one year." Consistency requires long-term sacrifice for long-term gain. We say "No," to good things so we can say, "Yes," to the things that accomplish our goals. Don't pack as much as you can do into one day. Pace yourself over long periods of time and you'll find you can accomplish much more than a few fast-paced weeks that leave you burned out.
